Mesta Gnues
a Fare1VeU Party
For the F0sketts

When a popular hostess gives a
party in honor of two popular guests
it is a sure bet that every one in
vited will be prompt about accept
ing with pleasure = and just as
prompt about getting to the party at
the appointed hour. e
This truly was the case yester-
day afternoon when Mrs. George
Mesta was hostess at a cocktail
party in honor Of Admiral and
Mrs. James II. Foskett. OF course,
no acceptances are required Tor
an informal fete like yesterdays,
but glimpse at the date books
of those on the invitation list un-
doubtedly would show the place and
time underscored.
Mrs. Mesta's home, which was
literally abloom with spring fiow-
ers yesterday, is nicely adaptable
for the pleasure of large number
of guests, the wide center hall Civ
ing lots of room for passage from
the reception room and bar on
one side to the dining, room on
the other. From $50 until 1850
yesterday throngs of guests filled
the rooms, yet everyone had the
pleasure of seeing and talking with
every one else as well as with the
hostess and the honor guests
The party was one of many fare
well fetes planned for Admiral Fos-
kett, who is about to take command
Of Cruiser Division II after tour
of duty as naval aide to Pres
ident Truman. He will take over
his new assignment some time in
April and will be gone about four
months. Meantime, Mrs. Foskett
will remain in the Capital until
midsummer, when she may join the
admiral abroad.

Capital society had itself whirl
last night. Washington's best known
hostesses, excited for weeks at the
prospect of choosing their own dane
ing partners, simply took over the
Leap Year Dance at the Sulgrave
Club and loved it.
The men were rushed off their
feet despite their advance misgiy-
ings and fears of getting stuck. The
most popular ones looked all in by
the time the evening was over but
pleased. Accustomed to relaxing at
the bar ever so often at the ordin-
ary dance, last evening they were
kept on the dance floor by the wom-
en- who outnumbered them. and
there was no point In standing at
the bar as prominently placed

1t was later)
Smart dinner parties all over town
preceded the gay novelty affair.
The dance got off to fairly early
start, however, because the women
on the committee urged their res
pective groups to go early and be-
cause everybody was kind Of Curl
ous.
Southern smilax and hundreds OF
balloons decorated the club. The
balloons were all colors and clung
to the ceiling and the walls. But
the most amusing decorative notes
were the mems boutonnieres oi

Secretary Of Navy John D. Sulli-
vans current fayorite story tickles
him every time he tells it. 1t seems
that when the three Armed Forces
secretaries, j. Sullivan, K. Royal
and s. Symington, met at San Juan
recently for joint maneuvers, they
no sooner stepped off the plane than
they were greeted by the usual bar
rage of photographers. It was
boiling hot and the perspiration
was. streaming down their faces as
the photographers snapped their
pictures, but there was always that
proverbial request for just one more.
Suddenly Secretary Sullivan noticed
that Representative Errett r. Scriv-
ner, one of their party, had a camera
with him. Let's have some fun, -
he said, SO as soon as the news men
were through he said, wait a min
ute, boys, now its our turn" For
the next 20 or 80 minutes they kept
