for the event was their terraced
garden, the gowns of the ladies
vying colorfully with the brilliant
zinnias, asters and snapdragon in
the Towering borders. Mrs. Morri-
son Campbell, who has been up
from the state almost long enough
to be called a native" Washing
tonian, was charming to look at in
royal blue, her winged sleeves held
close to the wrists by pair Of
carved bracelets once owned by her
great grandmother, Janet Morri-
son. Cynosure Of all eyes was
blonde Harriet Mason, one of the
weeks most feted North Carolina
visitors, whose lovely aqua costume
was accented by black accessories.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Owens will
soon fold their tent and set off for
home, now that Dicks work is COM
pleted and so they were saying
good bye to their many friends
and at the same time promising to
pay annual visits to the Tar Heel
Colony, so greatly enriched by
their war service in the Capital.
From the John Monsuns who
have just been home, we learned
that Mrs. John Robert, daughter Of
Mrs. G. C. Scott of Charlotte and
sister of the handsome movie star.
Randolph Scott, is now at home in
Stockholm, Sweden, having recent
ly landed in Antwerp with her twin
sons, John and Eric, where they
were met by Mr.. Robert. Mrs. Rob-
ert and the boys were in this coun-
try for nearly five years, as they
were in mid-ocean on their way
to New York when the war began
in Europe. Quite naturally, Mrs.
Robert turned to war work in
Wa shington where her sister. Mrs.
Scott Perry makes her home, while
the twins attended school in Vir-
GINA.
Another enjoyable afternoon fete
of the week was that gala get
together given by the Gerald Sloans
on Tuesday. Never have seen so
many lawyers in one spot before.
And. as well as I could make out,
everybody there was predicting
that Judge John j. Parker would
be elevated to the highest court IN
the land-and were making plans
to welcome him to the colony here.
Jerry and his beautiful wife, the
former Mary Louise Groom, are
giving a series of Victory parties
for their North Carolina friends in
Wa shington, invitations being out
for another group next Saturday,.
