Just About Washington

By Hope Ridings Miller

There's a saying around Wash
ington that local wiseacres count
that day lost when they can't cook
up some likely candidate for the
next appointment as United States
Ambassador to England.
Actually, our envoys at the Court
of st. James change infrequently,
but the post has long been highly
coveted one, and virtually every
high-placed man who hasn't been
doomed for the presidency has been
at one time or another,
as being in line eyes, positively,
this is inside dope") for the London
post.
Rumorwise, Joseph Davies is a
kind of perpetual candidate. For
almost decade speculations have
swirled around him as a possibility.
Mrs. Davies, it was said, was ambi-
tious to preside over the American
Embassy in London. If she was,
she bore her disappointment with
grace and fortitude when her hus-
band was appointed Ambassador to
Russia and later to Belgium. She

Exclusively Yours,

If economy is way of spending
money without getting any fun out
of it, then there is no economy in
Washington. OF course, that's been
the complaint about the seat of the
Nations government for years, but
there's never any complaint about
the pleasure pace in the home
town. Nearly everybody who comes
to Washington for a visit decides
to settle down here including conti-
mental people like Ashley Chandler
who was host at an hilarious cocktail
party the other afternoon.
Valerie Churchill-Longman, cousin
to Americas most famous current
tourist w. Churchill, was there and
so were Prince and Princess Pig
natelli with their house guests, the
Richard Lounsberys. Valerie is stay
ing at the Shoreham for a couple of
weeks and then will visit relatives
in st. Louis, her mothers home,
before going to Memphis, San An
tonic and other points South. Others
on hand were the new First Secre-
tary of the Norwegian Legation and
his wife, the Cyvind Scott-Hansens,
Ben Burch, Dolly Corbin, who was
back in the Washington swing the
day she arrived, Edward Dickinson,
jr., and the Carlos Blancos of the
Cuban Embassy. Nine. Blanco is
sister of Jose Lasa, the former
Cuban attache here who was such
a divine dancer.
Jack Cutler, down from New
York, arrived with Miss Janet Fish.
The former had the most hair
raising adventures during the war.
He escaped from a German prison
camp and Travelled for months with
a French labor battalion disguised as
a Frenchman before he was finally
able to make his way to Allied ter
ritory. He is a cousin to Ashley
who said that all the people who
live on, one side of the Hudson
River are related: In fact, said
Ashley, member of one of the
families moved across the river a
long time 60 and they called his
place The Wrong Side" and it's
been called that ever since.
The Hugh Auchinclosses have
gone to Reno-but not for the
usual reason. They've gone on an
annual overseeing visit to Hugh DIS
ranch and will be back the first of
February. ;. Kitty and Jack New
bold left Thursday for Palm Beach
where they will stay two weeks.
Col. and Mrs. George Cutting have
come up from Warrenton and taken

The Albert Deweys are in New

jr., is out Of uniform and wiz prob
ably be back in the Washington
scene before long !. And Jack
Logan will entertain at cocktails

The news that's making Wash
ington party-goers sit up and fiz2
in blissful anticipation is that Nat

Club on February %. There will

turned out to be one of the most
popular diplomatic hostesses both
in Moscow and Brussels.
More recent reports have 1t that,
although Mr.. Davies has been Of
fered the job in London several
times since then, he yearns for it
no more and neither does
his wife.
Any number of reasons that do
not meet the eye may be RESPONSE
BILE for that, but the tallest one is
William Clayton, Assistant Secre-
tary Of State. Countless rumors that
may be fact by the time this gets
into print indicate that the Missis-
sippi-born millionaire cotton man"
soon will replace John Winant az
American Ambassador to England.
For the past. few weeks he has been
vacationing in the Southwest, rest

him once. he stretches his long legs

Engaged Couple
Hon0red at Fete
1t Sulgrape Club

A cocktail party that set a new
style in afternoon entertaining was
the one given yesterday by Miss
Jean Waggaman and her brother,
Mr. Robert M. Waggaman, U. S.
N. R., in honor of Miss Florence
Cahill and 1t. John F. Wagga-
man, AAF, who will take the vows
on January 80 at Walter Reed
Chapel. The novel note of the aft
ernoon was the really beautiful
musical background provided by
the electric guitar and the violin.
Both the hosts and honorees are
native Washingtonians, so there
was a decided old home week at
mosphere among the 200-and some
guests who filled the oval room
and hall of the Sulgrave Club
Miss Waggaman, who is one of the
better looking blonds in Wash
tngton, wore a stunning floor
length black wool suit embroidered
on the right arm, as though it were
military rank, in red and gold
braid. The bride-to-be wore a very
good looking print dress with an
unusual belt of snakeskin studded
with moonstones. The most in
triguing thing about her dress,
however, was the print itself
Against a gray background were
silhouettes in black of ballet
dancer, harlequins and people in
boxes at the opera. Her hat was a
becoming bandeau of black rough
straw.
OF course, all the wedding party
we're there, including Mrs. Rex Tall
man, sister of the prospective bride
groom, who will be matron of honor,
Miss Louise Hamilton, Miss Cecilia
Parker, Miss Mary Jane Cahill, Miss
Louise Cahill, Mr.. c. Langdon Har-
ris, Mr.. Nathaniel Luttrell, Mr.. A.
Britton Browne, Mr. Edwin Devlin
and Mr.. John Vandeventer who ar
rived with Miss Elizabeth Polk Ben
son. Mrs. Grant Boss was there;
she had entertained the day before
for the engaged couple, and so was
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Cahill and Mr.
and Mrs. Frederick Stohlman, who
are Miss Cahill's aunt and uncle.
More familiar faces on the Wash
ington scene included Mr. Charles
Lynham, Mr.. Robert Portner, the
maid of honor, Miss Julienne Ca
hill who was escorted by Maj. Joseph
Stanley; Capt. William Gwynn who
said his wife is expected to sail from
Australia this coming week to join
him here; Comdr M. G. Dooley and,
of course, the parents of It. Wagga-
man, Maj. and Mrs. Ennalls Wagga-
man. From out of town were Mr..
and Mrs. Raymond H. Mckinney,
Miss Jane Mckinney, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Dale Black, all of Rye, N. Y,

cake lavishly iced in gold and blue
with the names Emory S. Land and
Elizabeth Land written across the

was also the beginning of another
word describing a characteristic of
the honoree-for example, the "E"
in Emory also began the word
energy" well-known quality of

climax of the party was the pres
entation of a handsome watch to

GARDEN VARIETIES
As seen by George Shellhase

MAY is considered good month
" to plant garden.
That is to say, May is considered
a good month to step on a rake, fall
down the cellar steps with sack of
fertilizer, and spring out of bed at
six am. to watch the rabbits eat
lettuce sets.
Some people say that if you put
mothballs in the garden, rabbits
won't come. They say rabbits don't
like mothballs.
This is doubtful.
The only thing rabbits really
don't like is wolves. Putting moth
balls in the garden to scare rabbits
is like putting wolves in the closet
to scare moths.
June is considered a good month
for weeds.
July is fine for sunburn.
But each year $4,000, 900 Ameri-
cans go in for gardening anyway.
Herewith you'll find sketches of
some well-known types. They were
drawn by an artist named George
Shellhase, who is an authority on
horticulture.
Mr.. Shellhase once raised radish.
