Black and white prints were un-
usually popular among the feminine

a frock with tiny white figures. A
hip-length jacket of the material
completed the costume and she wore
a wide -brimmed black straw hat
without trimming.
Sonora de Espil, wife of the Ar
gentine Ambassador. and the rank
ing hostess of the diplomatic corps,
came without the Ambassador. She
lived up to her reputation for smart
clothes in her trim frock Of dark
blue crepe with small white figure
which was made high to the throat
where narrow ruching of dark
blue net finished the neckline. Over
this fell her short string of pearls,
and her close-fitting dark blue hat
had a veil Of the same shade.
The Chinese Ambassador, DR.. HUI
Shih, was among the early callers
and rushed of to prepare for an
address which he delivered at the
Cosmos Club later in the day.
Among the many others from the
corps who greeted the Prime Minis
ter and expressed their good wishes
to the new Ambassador and his wife
were the Portuguese Minister and
Senhora de Bianchi; the South AZ

wearing one of the bright spring
print three-piece costumes, the
colors being red, white and green,
and a close fitting white hat; and
the Indian Agent General and Lady

native dress, the under garment of
pale blue satin made with high neck
and long sleeves, over which she
wore yards of gold and white bro
cade in which she literally wrapped
herself, the material forming a hood
over her head.
Miss Pauletta Guffey. wearing a
beige suit with close fitting dark
brown hat, had an animated con-
versation in the dining room with
the Misses Patten and Mrs. Effing
ham Townsend. Miss Vera Bloom
without her father, Representative

she doubted if they would be at
Bluemont, Va, again this summer
for one thing the shortage of gas
which she thought then would affect
members of Congress as well as
every one else.
Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor with her
daughter, Miss Gloria Grosvenor
were escorted by the latter's fiance
Mr.. Torfinn Oftedal, second secre-
tary Of the Embassy. Miss Grosve
nor was all in black, her black hat
having an upturned brim well of
her face. Her mother wore print
the background Of white, with small
black figures. Mrs. Walter R. Tuck
erman also chose a suit of white with
a black figure and wore a close fit
ting black hat She and Mr.. Tuck
erman seemed not concerned tot
much about the gas shortage, al
though they live in Edgemoor, as

the many war and relief groups ir

Miss Caroline Nash was smartly
dressed in dark blue and white. AL
ways popular in Washington, hel
many friends have given her a warm
welcome since she returned to the
