Formal Opening Of Season
Marked BY WIlkmses' Dance
Sulgrave Club Scene of Party
That Starts Off Winter Gaiety

The Sulgrave Club was in its old
familiar form again last evening
Lights blazed from within, music
poured forth from the ceiling high
ballroom windows and there was a
constant stream of attractive young
people arriving from 1890 on. 1t
looked like and was the formal be-
ginning of a glamorous Capital sea-
son.
Hosts at the dance and RESPONSE
BILE for this early bang-u beginning
of a gay year were Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. wilkins, jr The black tie
affair was not in celebration of
arything-although Mrs. wilkins
birthday did happen to follow to-
day. 1t was given for the pure and
simple reason perhaps the best of
all for a party-of having good
time. Judging from appearances
the aim was accomplished.
Meyer Davis and his orchestra
had orders to play until 2:30 but,
as usual, the music was too good to
stop when it should. Imported
champagne flowed from the bar all
evening and at 1890 in the morn
ing buffet supper-soup. scram-
bled eggs, sausages, rolls and salad
was served in the dining room.
The hostess wore a lovely gown
of blue and gold net over yellow
crepe, the decollete bodice shirred
to the hips and f1aring into a bouf-
FAINT skirt. She and her husband
went first to the buffet dinner given
by Mr.. Harry Hoskinson whose %
guests were entertained during sup
per by the piano playing of Eddie
Mcintyre, radio artist.
Others at Mr., Hoskinson's party
were Mrs. Louise Hagner, who came

Mr.. MacCracken

Prominent socjalites focked to
the wedding Friday afternoon of
Miss Francine Lewis Whitten and
Mr.. William Lewis MacCracken.
The ceremony, which was held in

chrysanthemums, palms and ferns
decorated the church, one of the
most beautiful in Washington, and
lighted candles lined the long CEN
ter aisle. Mr.. Kurt Hetzel played
the organ.
The stunning bride was escorted
by her father. She wore a lovely
ivory satin gown with an off-the-
shoulder neckline, long sleeves and
full train. Handsome heirloom lace
formed her headdress and fell in
graceful folds to her waistline. She
carried a cascade bouquet of white
gardenias and stephanotis.
Miss Fleury Velie of Yellow
Springs, Ohio, former classmate of
the bride at Foxcroft School, was
maid of honor. Her lovely red hair
was set of by her gold velveteen
gown made on long princess lines
with short sleeves and a square
neckline. Her hat was of gold taf-
seta, Juliet style with ruf1e across
the back. The bridesmaids, Miss
Marye Thomas, Miss Leila Dickey,
Miss Marion Norris, Miss Ann Heard,
and Miss Patricia Vance of South
Bend. Ind, the latter two also
former classmates at Foxcroft, wore
emerald green velveteen dresses with
matching taffeta hats. All carried
bouquets of fall flowers.
Mr.. MacCracken was best man
for his son and seating the guests
in the church were Mr.. James Raid

Navy to Study
Antarctic Lakes
Helicopters Will Soar Over
Mysterious Oasis in
Frigid Wastes.

WASHlNGION. - In the nope OF
learning more about the mysterious
region of multi-colored lakes sighted
from the air in Antarctica last year,
the United States navy has started a
special expedition to the area.
The first of two ships chosen for
the task-the icebreaker Edisto -
sailed recently from Norfolk, Va. A
second icebreaker, the Burton Is
land, sailed from San Pedro, Calf.
Each vessel is to carry a helicopter,
to permit navy f1iers to land in the
lake region, among the gravel hills
that preclude a landing by con-
ventional airplane.
Comdr. Gerald L. Ketchum was
designated to head the expedition,
it was learned. The two icebreakers
will rendezvous at sea, it was indi-
Gated, and proceed directly to the
Antarctic ice pack.
Operate in Summer.
The plan of exploration adopted is
for the two icebreakers to drive as
near to the coast as possible and
launch their helicopters. Although it
will be winter in the northern hemi-
sphere, the expedition will have the
advantage of operating during the
Antarctic summer. Personnel will
live aboard the Edisto and the Bur-
ton Island, avoiding the difficulties
of setting up a base ashore, as was
done by last years larger navy ex-
pedition.
Plans for a visit to Little America
were tentative, but it was under
stood that such a visit might be
made. In addition, it was learned
that the expedition might attempt to
force the ice barrier at other points
where exploration has been slight,
provided time remains after it has
accomplished its primary mission
of studying the lake area.
A primary mystery surrounding
this region is why the lakes do not
freeze, surrounded as they are by
glaciers and perpetual snow. Among
the theories advanced to account for
the temperature is one that the
earth is warmed by volcanic activ-
ity.
Climate Changing.
Another theory is that the climate
is becoming milder. This theory will
be checked, it was understood, even
though there is little evidence to
support it in the surrounding frigid
wastes of the Antarctic, because
such change, if in progress, would
have portentous meteorological inn
plicationS.
Commander Ketchum was cap
tain of the Burton Island during the
last expedition. A small group of
civilian scientists, whose names
have not been made public, is ac-
companying him on the present un-
dertaking.
Members of the 1916 expedition
described the lake area as an |
"oasis" because of its isolated posi-
ton. The region is inland from the
Knox coast of the Antarctic conti-
nent, almost due south of Australia.
Another navy expedition, headed
by Comdr. Finn Rome, is in the
Antarctic, operating on Palmer
peninsula.
