With the close of the Labor Day
holiday, summertime parties are
finally at an end. But in Lower
Montgomery County, where next
winter women will devote their
energies largely to war work they are
now finding time for little enter
tanning before settling down for the
serious business ahead of them
Mr.. and Mrs Arthur j. Hilland
will give one of these end-of the
summer parties'this afternoon.
The Hilland's parties are some
thing new in the way of summer
time entertaining in Lower Mont
gomery County. In their back yard
in Bethesda they have had series
of Sunday night suppers throughout
the summer. No invitations are sent
out for these suppers; but the
Hilland's close friends have been
told when the suppers are to be
given and are asked to drop in and
eat with them.
Supper is served outside when the
weather permits and inside in case
of rain.
The Hilland's friends call their
parties lemon sherbet parties" be-
cause lemon sherbet made from an
old family recipe is always feature
of parties at their home.
Another of these informal parties
that are becoming SO popular now
was held last night at the Francis
r. Kenney home in Friendship
Heights. About 20 of the Kenneys
friends-all lovers of good music
and all amateur Observation-Disclosures

of concert work.
These evenings Of music began
seven years ago, when the Kenneys
and DR. and Mrs. John r. Riggleman
and their children and Mr.. and Mrs
Robert Huey started the custom
of playing together on Saturday
evenings the music they all enjoyed.
DR.. and Mrs. Riggleman returned

close of the evenings performance.
