r IEUT. AND MRS. CHARLES
IL DeKAY, who are one of this
towns most attractive couples,
are deserving us shortly for
station in Paris, where Lieuten-
ant DeKay will be the assistant
naval attache at the American
Embassy. They will sail around
the first Of June. Mrs. DeKay,
who is a vivacious brunette, is
an Army girl and met her good
looking husband in Honolulu and
was married there. Lieutenant
DeKay is, as most Of you know,
a nephew of Admiral Jerry
Land.
MRS. F. w. PENNOYER, wife
VA of Commander Pennoyer, is
tiny, slim and full of charm.
Perhaps it is in her eyes, which
can look deliciouSly miSchiev-
GUS at times; it may be her
laugh, which uncovers two deep
dimples; it could be her grace
full hands, without which she
would never be able to say one
word, but CHARM is definitely
there. She is most artistic and
her house is filled with real
treasures, as regards furniture.
Mrs. Pennoyer is a person of
discriminating taste, and once
while in Venice decided that she
wanted some particular kind Of
glass. She searched all over
and still could not find the
exact glass. So--She designed
her own glasses and had the
glass blowers do them precisely
as she had described. Also. she
does not care for china service
plates and all of hers are fash
Toned of the most exquisite
glass and crystal,

TNHE tea given recently by the
l. naval attache Of the Japa-
nese Embassy, Captain and
Nine. Kobayashi, was, so we
are told, delightfully."- done as
usual, with an deliberately APP
pointed tea table and beautiful
flower decorations, but the most
novel feature was an exhibit of
dolls. Rows and rows of them,
placed on a series Of shelves
and draped in scarlet silk. On
the topmost shelf sat a very
regal, royal pair in rich cere,
monial robes.
The little queen doll was wear
ing an exquiSitely jeWeled head
dress. Beside her stood a wee
cherry tree in full pink bloom
and at the side of the king was
a diminutive orange tree. On
the shelf beneath were the
guardsmen with gittering sa-
bers, and, next in line, the sing
ing girls and musicians.
MRS. LESLIE STEVENS, wife
V1 If Commander Stevens, who
seemingly has time to keep up
with whatever may be going on,
told us that Mrs. Curtis Brown,
who mas been for many years
president of the American Won
ems Club in London, is resign
ing ard intenoS to come back
to America and her home in the
BerkSbires this summer. Mrs.
Brown, who is quite well known
and very much beloved, is not

accomplished musician as well.

the Cadets at West Point and
was universally popular with all
the students. All Of which is
q tremendous achievement, for

pleasant person with tw1nkly
brown eyes and smooth gray
hair and is a welcome addition
to Washington
