Mrs. George Mesta gave a party
last evening that will be the talk
of the town for days to come. There
were enough officials on hand from
the executive, judicial and legisla-
tive branches of sur Government to
settle all kinds Of affairs Of state.
Whether or not any vital business
was transacted though, is moot
point, but it is certain that all
were having a whirl at this affair.
The party was in honor of Mrs.
Kendall Hamilton and her fiance,
Mr.. George Abel. 1t was buffet
supper and over a hundred guests
were invited and what's more all
were seated for supper. There were
small tables in the dining room, in
the drawing room, in the music
room, in the bar, and in every avail
able and comfortable spot.
Music kept things humming all
evening; gay cocktail music, light
dinner music, every ones special
pieces, and finally some samba,
rumba and three quarter time that
kept any number dancing until
after midnight struck. Sidney and
his orchestra were ensconced at one
end of the drawing room and there
were extra musicians along, includ-
ing an extra conductor, so that the
music was continuous.
There was no ice to be broken at
this party. No sooner was supper
over than guests began to gather in
the vicinity of the orchestra. Sen
ator Alexander Wiley lead some
lusty singing of favorite State songs,
while the peppy rhythm OF the
music was too much for Senator
Joseph c. O'Mahoney. He couldn't
resist getting up and doing some
thing approximating a soft shoe.
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson, As
sociate Justice Harold H. Burton
and the Presidents naval aide,
Rear Admiral James H. Foskett,
gave voice to a bit of close harmony.
At least, they said, standing in a
huddle, it was close.
Glamorous stage star Ina Claire
was in her best scintillating form.
She said she wished people wouldn't
keep coming up to her and saying,
II met you years ago." 1t made
her feel older every minute. The
reason people greeted her like that,
advised Maj. Gen. Conger Pratt,
eyeing Rear Admiral Clark Wood
ward, was because they were lucky
to still be alive.
Former Speaker Sam Rayburn
swung one lovely lady after another
onto the dance floor, but whenever
he and Senator Burnet R. Maybank
came face to face they were apt to
switch partners quick as a flash.
1t was the first time she had ever
seen Mr.. Rayburn dance, Mrs. Mesta

hostess wore a black and white

topped by beautiful big white Or
