Rubbing elbows at a younger
set party the other afternoon
were Homer Stillwell, who is just
out of uniform and going to
Georgetown University; Peggy
Houghteling, who has a brand
new job at the State Depart
ment; Anne Bryan. who was
thinking that it would be good
thing if New Year eve didn't come
so often, and Neil Gillian, who is
just back in Washington after
four years absence. Neil is a
captain in the British Army and
during these years has been in
the Field Service, where he saw
plenty of action first in North
Africa and later in the Obi the
ater. Written up several times
for his outstanding heroism, Capt.
Gillian was presented with the
St. Georges Medal last summer.
When Admiral Lord Mountbatten
awarded the decoration, he said
that as far as he was concerned
he was presenting Neil with the
Victorial Cross, which, of course,
he could not have received be-
cause he is an American. Neil is
getting out of uniform and will
stay around Washington for q
while as this is his mothers home.
Bill Blackburn was there and
said that brother Joe is working
for an airline in New York. Bill
also said-and this is bad news
for the home town belles-that
he will be leaving Washington in
February to go to Harvard Busi-

Gaiety No Postwar Problem
Gala NeV Year Week Closes
With Delightful Festivities
By Margaret Hart,
Society Editor.

Gaiety along the Capitals social
front is no postwar problem as the
tlwn's party-loving contingent con-
tinues on its merry way. Time was
when there was definite lull after
brilliant holiday whirl. Not so
this year of 1916 There has been
continuous series of festivities
since the old year signed off and
in the postman's pack each day are
found invitations to interesting
events of future date
Yesterday very lively week was
climaxed with several delightful
parties and on today's program are
additional functions to add color
to the pages of social history.

War general and I never get lone

ing and witty former Louise Crom-
well. When I have guests they are
seated on the steps-but according
to rank" continued the hostess.
Well it isn't that bad but after
the mansions Mrs, Heiberg has lived
init is very small. When she en-
tertained yesterday some forty of
her women friends even one suf-
fering from an exaggerated case of

house termed so tiny by Mrs.
Heiberg was only just pleasantly
and costly crowded.
Mrs. Heiberg has a long lease on
the dwelling located at Twenty
fourth and M streets-the owner

place herself and has done neat
job of it. The little parlor is done

electrically wired but Mrs. Heiberg
prefers the old-fasfioned kerosene

considerably to the charm of the
house.
