inside there are beautifully done
carvings of palm trees, tinted
with green, pyramids, camels
and a faint, rose sunset. Very
effective and most unique Is
this particular cigarette case.

i daughter Of Commander
and Mrs. Robert Lavender, has
Just gotten back from a visit to
West Point and a whirl Of en-
tertainments and fun. Up until

date and which is invariably
gay and gala. Peggy is to be on
the Junior committee and some
Of the prettiest girls are included
on that committee, starting with

MRS. ALEXANDER MILTON,
IVA widow of Colonel Milton,
is now in Washington and has
taken an apartment for the
rest of the season. Mrs. Milton
has no end of friends in Wash
ington who are really delighted
at her return here. Her son.
Ross, is at West Poiont, but her
very, very pretty daughter, Bar
bara, is here with her.
MAJOR AND MRS. MAURICE
W1 HOLMES are now sta
toned in Quantico, which means
that one of the incest couples
are no longer available for those
impromptu teas, and also means
that one Of the smarteSt groomed
women we've seen in years, is
in Ouantico. Mrs. Holmes used
to look as though she had just
stepped out Of a fashion page,
with just the right hat, bag,
gloves, even handkerchiefs and
her choice Of colors were differ
ent and exQuisitely blended.

COLONEL AND MRS. JETER
, ~, HORTON had q very few
people in for tea and cocktails
last Saturday and Mrs. Horton,
who is stunning, looked more so,
in a fuchsia lame gown topped
with a glittering gold lame jack
ct. The Horizons, who are the
most hospitable couple, always
have the most generous and orig
inal buffet, be it luncheon or
tea. One dish which is a special
ty of the Horton house, is called
by them Navy Curry" and is
combined in some intriguing
manner with big. fat raisins and
a sauce that stays in ones mem
ory forever.
MAJOR AND MRS. RICHARD
1V1 JESCHKE. of the Marine
Corps, we're also hosts last Sat
urday and to ever so many
guests from the Service Corps
and residential Washington. Mrs.
Jeschke was the former Mar
garet Devereux, daughter Of DR..
and Mrs. John r. Devereux, and
the big Devereux house in Brad
ley Lane was always packed to
the roof with friends Of Mar
garet and her brothers and
sisters. Mrs. Devereux was re-
ceiving with Mrs. JeSchke last
Saturday and Mrs. JeSchke
looked extremely pretty herself
in black satin made very severe
and frightened with a huge cor
sage of gardenias.
Never once in the entire after
noon did the big rooms become
too crowded and one thing
which was especially nice was
Mrs. Jeschke'S arrangement of
her tea table. Nothing was on
the |ea table but tea and cof-
fee and sandwiches and hot bis
cults. Consequently, those who
wished just that fingered in
the dining room. Then an i'm
promptu bar was arranged in
another room and there one had
everything they wished with
tangy hors d'ouevres.
DEVERLY MANN. daughter of
I'D Capt. and Mrs. William L.
Mann, U. S. N, is in town for a
few days visiting with Col. and
Mrs. Joseph Fegan, at their
quarters in the Marine Bar
racks. Beverly, who is a blonde.
with waving golden hair, a
peacheS-and-cream skin and a
lovely, mouth, has one little odd.
