1t was very pleasant yesterday in
the attractive apartment of Mr..
and Mrs. Byrnes at the Shoreham
where they have lived for some
time. The interesting group of for
eign women began to arrive at S
o'clock and many fingered on until
after the closing hour of Z o'clock.
All during this time there was
a continuous hum of voices as the
women from across the seas ex-
changed pleasantries or discussed
more serious topics with the wives
of officials of this Government.
Mrs. Byrnes has love for SIM
plicity. Her parties are patterned
along this vein. Such was the case
yesterday. On her tea table there
was no floral motif, the hostess
using for the centerpiece hand
some old silver soup tureen fianked
by silver candelabra. About the
apartment were tall vases of peach
color gladioluses.

Mrs. Joseph G. Grew, wife of the
Undersecretary Of State, who in the
absence of Mr.. Byrnes is acting
Secretary. Mrs. Byrnes was wear
ing a chiffon gown in a lovely
hyacinth blue shade with ruby red
belt marking the waistline. The
gown was made with square neck
line fastened with diamond clip.
Mrs. Grew chose for the occasion
black -and-white Powered gown,
worn with a black wide-brimmed
hat.
Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the for
mer Secretary Of State, was at the
party and was being greeted on all
sides. This was one of the few
social events she has attended for
many months.
Mrs. Lewis Schwellenbach, wife of
the new Secretary of Labor, was
telling friends that she will remain
at Wardman Park for the remainder
of this month and then return to
her home in Seattle to arrange for
the shipping here of some of her
effects. upon her return
here in September she will join the
ranks of house hunters"
Mrs. Byrnes plans to remain in
the Capital for a while and she
probably will visit her home in South
Carolina before the return of the
Secretary.
