It was wonderful weather and

Africans had yesterday to cele-
brate their national holiday. Even
If there hadn't been a garden.
the Embassy Is adequate to ac-
commodate q large crowd, which
is what the Ambassador and Mrs.
II. T. Andrews had.
Shortly after the s to 8 o'clock
party began, q goodly number Of
people had come and they were
still coming near the closing hour
of 8. The diplomatic couples
daughter, Lydia, was in the receiv-
ing line part Of the time. Mrs.
Andrews had on a very attractive
orchid gown, draped around the
shoulder and trimmed at the
neckline with orchid blossoms.
Lydia wore a green print dress.
The buffet was magnificent.
There were glazed hams. Holsters,
turkeys. fancy molds of fruits.
rolls, ice cream, cookies and
many other delicacies. Bars had
been set up in the drawing room
and out on the porch. of of which
was a lovely garden where tables
had been set up. 1t didn't take
the guests long to find this spot.
Even though the inside Of the En-
bassy Is large and the rooms were
cool, 1t was still very nice to be
where you could smell the honey
suckle and flowers.
Among those arriving early
mainly because they had other
stops to make-were Mrs. Wood
row Wilson. Admiral and Mrs.
Clark Woodward, the Secretary
of Agriculture and Mrs. Charles
Brannan. the Secretary Of the

London socialites will get q
special treat of an extra egg this

Letter.
Tommy took so dozen eggs
with him when he and Oatsey
sailed for England" said Gertie
Webb at the Middleton Trains
party the other afternoon. A
couple Of doubtful looking faces
dropped fabbergasted Jaws, but
Miss Webb went on to explain.
It seems that he took them to his
cousin, Lady Alexandra Metcah.
who is presenting her twin daugh-
ters to London society at a dance
this week.
Scrambled eggs may not sound
glamorous in America but for a.
British hostess to be able to serve
such q midnight supper is nothing
short of q coup. In England they
are still rationed at the rate OF
one. egg per person per week.
MILDLY and Audrey Trains
party was gay. bright and anus
ing. Everybody gathered in the
garden in the back Of their lovely
home on Belmont road. For the
fun Of it, to add interest to the
decor and probably to make his
guests curious. MILDLY had strung
up Navy flags that spelled out his
initials and last name. To add
further interest to the decor, he
was sporting a snazzy red plaid
vest-his duck shooting vest. he
grinned, and he claimed that he
has trousers to match.

THE BOLD three-column advertisement in
the current issuesef>the Waynesboro True
Citizen catches the readers eye. We quote
it i'm full.
To our notion that advertisement by c. Whit
Blount states the economic and govern
mental aspects of the case against APP
with clarity and forcefulness that most
of the editorial comment has lacked.
Also it strikes us as fine example of sports
manship i'm business.
Incidentally, it is about as effective an ad-
vertisement as could have been written for
Mr.. Blount's "GrOceteria".

0uHie|d Big Headache
As Griff Makes Plans
To Rebuild Mats
By Burton Howkins

Take seven outf1elders hitting
less than .285. blend with wild,
inconsistent pitchers, stir we'll and
you'll have a magnificent mess.
But that's the situation confront
ing Clark Griffith as he attempts
to present Washington fans a
more palatable baseball club next
year.
Five Of Grifhth's outfielders are
hitting less than .260. The in
frequently employed Bob Ortiz
tops the crop with a .283 average
and of him the Mats boss says,
II think he'll hit in time" There
is a polishing job to be done
on Bob's fielding. however, be-
fore he'll aid the Mats.
Ed Stewart is a 1858 hitter, while
a quick rundown on other Wash
ington outfielders shows Clyde
Vollmer batting .258, Buddy Lewis,
|2.55: Sam Mele, .236; John Sim
mons, .225. and Gil Coan, .222
There is nothing encouraging
about those figures and Grif ad-
mits it.
"Vollmer will never hit a curve
ball the way he stands" says
Griffith, "but hate to give up on
him. He has power and he can &c
a mile to haul in a fly ball. but
he'll have to change that batting
stance if he hopes to hit major
league pitching"
>Coan, a hot shot minor Lacquer
when he batted .372 with Chatta-
nooga in 1945,, is completing a
second successive wretched sea-
son. Gil. a .232 hitter last year
is giving Griffith little reason to
hope for improvement. In his last
nine games, he has tapped oppo-
sition pitching at .176 clip.
There are grave doubts, too. that
Mele will make the grade. In his
freshman season with the Boston
Red Sox two years ago, he batted
1902. but last year he slumped to
