for her ahead of time, she couldn't
have been more entertaining +.
and stimulating. There's nothing
banal about her."
A number of Washington women,
I'm glad to say, deserve similar
accolade. Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Nc
Lean never greets two guests the
same way. She keeps her finger
on the political pulse and is apt to
take issue with notable who passes
down her receiving line. 1T I'd
known you were going to vote that
way, I wouldn't have asked you to
this party" she said to Senator
at her latest dinner. She laughed
when she said it, but he knew she
meant it, and straightway began to
defend himself.
Mrs. Robert Low Bacon, widow
Of the New York Representative.
has the nearest thing approaching
a salon in modern Washington,
and she peps up her intellectual
assemblages by asking each guest
thought-provoking question that
won't accept trite answer. Mrs.
Clifford Pinchot, another superb
hostess, manages to promote such
stimulating conversations in her
house that guests forget that no
alcoholic drinks are ever served
there. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long
worth never passes up a chance to
talk politics with any one she meets
at a party and so far as I know,
she has never once repeated herself.
Mrs. Robert A. Taft, always well in
formed on what goes on in WASH
ington and the rest of the world,
has an interested audience any,
where she happens to be.
These woEion, however, are ex-
ceptions to the rule that, socially
speaking, the average Washing
tonian-distaff side, particularly
-refrains from saying anything
that can be quoted or miscon-
strued.

Inst Ab0ut WASHINGTON
BY Hope Ridings Miller

If Dorothy Cameron Disney ever
decides to take time out from writ
ing mystery stories, she could dc
an entertaining piece on "Banalities'
as heard at Washington parties
Miss Disney vows that she can
count on the fingers of two hands
all persons she has heard greeting
anybody in an original fashion at
Washington party. The line of
least verbal resistance seems to
be the local rule. The average
Capital hostesses and guests who,
if they keep their wits about them,
should have something new to talk
about every minute, rely heavily on
a stock list of social lines. They
may be tried and trite, but they're
also safe and security Is a
coveted quantity in this Nations S
Capital.
One prominent Washington wo-
man is good example. She cheer
fully admits that when she goes
to big party she leaves her mind
at home. MY husband has warned
me for so long not to say anything
about anything, that I never utter
a line except How do you do?'
and Why don't I see you more
often?' Nobody hears what you
say at a Capital reception anyway,
so I get along all right"
In contrast to that woman Is
Lady Astor who, whether you
like her or not, has stellar rating
as conversationalist. At a recent
party here in Lady Astor's honor,
Miss Disney unobtrusively stationed
herself within earShot of the
dynamic visitor and made mental
notes Of what she said as guest
after guest was presented to her
Not once did she repeat herself"
said Miss Disney. "She asked ques-
tions, pertinent and impertinent.
She attached names to their proper
connections and made salty COM
ments. If her lines had been written
