The Washington times., 1939-01-28

was doing very nicely with the
Spanish rumba. Bob Jones,
whose place card read Colonel
JONES' was opining that he
imagined being lieutenant
would be much nicer, on ac-
count of carrying not so much
dignity and-yearS.
Rod K n n r, who had
motored back from business in
Baltimore, just for this party,
was his usual amiable self and
if that one ever gets mad or
contrary like the rest of the
world, we will collapse from sur
prise. The Freddie Storms, with
Mrs. Storm in a rust and gold
lame gown that was no end
smart, ant' with it she wore a
string of real crystals which
were a heirloom in her family
and a goodly hundred years old.
Kathryn Fuqua and with
her a most charming person
whose last name was Gaigan,
just up from Florida and on his
way to New York and then to
London. Col. and Mrs. w. w.
Robertson, and they are most
attractive and amusing; the
Charlie Tompkins, and Mrs.
Tompkins wearing the most ex.
quisite gown in a material that
was reminiscent of a Paisley
shawl; Mrs. Robert Patterson in
black lace, off the shoulders, and
wearing gardenias in her blond
hair and on her shoulder; Guy
Hotel, who has the most con-
tagious laugh; the Bill Shear
ers, but they had to leave early
on account of engagements very
early the next day.
The Barge HartzeS, with Mrs.
Hartz in clinging black topped
by rose suede jacket, a most
unique necklace of pearls which
ended in a pendant of sapphires
and surrounded by a certain
haunting lure. Mrs. Abner Drury
in black taffeta, very bouffant
and Gone With the Wind" ef-
feet and wearing wee daisies in
her sleek brown hair. Bill Chap
man never, seemingly, firing Of
dancing; the Gloyd Awaits, and
Mrs. Await having a splendid
idea about a certain stunt for
the Congressional Club, but
swearing everyone to secrecy
until she says the word. And a
very delicious dinner and very,
very late getting home and to
bed.
COMMANDER and Mrs. Otter,
" and the first name escapes
us, gave a very nice and large
dinner the other Saturday night
for Capt. and Mrs. John Towers.
ELEANOR WOODRUFF, who
IL is Navy and very definitely
attractive, is inviting in a few
people for next Friday night,
just prior to the Navy dance.
NOL. CHAUNCEY B. HUM.
" PHREYS, who was in Wash
lngton briefly en- route for a va
cation in Florida, was enter
tained at luncheon at the Will
lard Hotel by his good and
old-time friends, the Basil
ToutorSkyS.
HEN. AND MRS. RICHARD
VI MARSHALL, and all the
generals intimateS call him
Puck" have gone to New York
for the week end and may go
down, weather permitting, to
Spring Lake for a stay with the
Franklin Neviuses.

T IEUT. COL. AND MRS. CLIFF
Ia FORD CORB1N, who have
been ordered to station in New
York, are now finally settled at
800 Park Avenue. Certainly an
easy number to remember.
Meanwhile, Washington is very
sad over losing the Corbins and
very much distressed over the
departure Of the lovely Dolly
Corbin, older daughter Of the
household, who, all winter, and
half of last summer, was a real
addition to the younger crowd
of this town with her beauty,
graciousness and charm.
NOL. AND MRS. DONALD
" SAWYER are just back
from New York and a huge and
gala banquet given in honor
of Colonel Sawyer on the occa-
sion of his being made presl-
dent of the American Society OF
Civil Engineers. The Sawyers
are the incest couple and Mrs.
Sawyer, called "Lilibet" by her
friends, is sweet with just
enough spice and tang to her
disposition to be always inter-
esting, and Colonel Sawyer has
a droll and dry sense OF humor
with a habit of saying the most
unexpected things at exactly
the opportune time.

Gently at Coronado Beach, are
