that there were very few people
left who really had them. He
frankly thought this situation
of affairs was deplorable and
went on to say that in the Navy,
no impertinence was ever toler-
ated.
"You see," he told us, "the
Navy has a tradition that is
always lived up to and it is
r. H. I. P"
"And what is that, and what
does it mean," we asked.
1T Is very simple" he replied,
"and could well be applied in
other places. r. H. I. P. means,
Rank Has Its Privileges"
MRS. OSMOND LATROBE,
W1 wife of Colonel Latrobe, he
was Military Aide to President
Calvin Coolidge, came here from
her home in Baltimore the
other day for a visit with some
of her longtime w a h i n gton
friends. Mrs. Latrobe is from
Cuba and is one of the most
beautiful brunettes, with huge
brown eyes, so dark that some
times they seem almost black.
Everyone who knows her alb
solutely adores her and her
personality is so warm and so
vibrant that the instant she
comes into a room one senses
that she is there. Not at all Incl
dentally, Mrs. Latrobe is noted
for her chic and smartness in
clothes, and her jewels, Of which
she has quite a collection, are
gorgeous.
MRS. LESLIE STEVENS,
W1 witty wife of Comdr. Leslie
Stevens, is back in town and
everyone hopes she will stay for
a good long time. Mrs. Stevens,
or Nellie, as her intimates call
her, has been away from Wash
ington practically ever since
June out in Indiana visiting
with her family. Also, we heard
that Nellie had been INDUCING
in quite a bit of speech making,
not political, but concerning In
teresting world topics and had
done her speeches extremely
well and-written all of them
herself.
lean OLIVER, daughter OF
J Chaplain Oliver, out at Wal
ter Reed, is beginning the first
of what is going to be a popular
indoor sport for the coming
winter. Bridge teas are what we
are speaking about and the
younger crowd in the service set,
seem to think it a nice way to
get together and have a bit Of
fun at the same time. Jeans
party is going to be next Tues
day and from then on the fol-
lowing weeks will be filled with
them. And, thank heaven, it will
liven things up somewhat.
NAROL FRIES, daughter OF
" Gen. and Mrs. Amos Fries,
is wearing a goodlooking black
outfit these first few cool days
and topping it with very high
crowned black hat, in stiff felt.
The whole thing is very effective.
MRS. like" Giffen, wife Of
W1 Captain Giffen, who is in
command of the ship, Savan-
nah, is closing her country place
near Annapolis and getting
ready to go to California to stay
for a six-month visit with nu-
merous ones of her family. Mrs.
Giffen is an especially attrac-
tive person, with fascinating
smile and a delicious sense of
humor and is a born hostess.
When one is lucky enough to be
invited to her home, one never
wants to leave.
