PartyI Gvem

MOsier Dinner
Is Traditional
By Marearet Germ0nd

A gala annual in Washington is
the birthday party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Mosier in honor of Mrs.
Minta Martin and her famous son,
Mr.. Glenn Martin. The party is
one that each year grows in interest
and in picturesqueness 1t is un-
usual because it marks three i'm
portant dates in the Martin family,
and it is colorful because the hosts,
never at a loss for entertainment
ideas, invariably make each years
party more attractive than its pre-
decessor.
Last evenings fete was a dinner
in the Terrace Room at the Shore
ham. 1t celebrated the eighty-flfth
birthday anniversary of Mrs. Mar
tin, the natal day of her son and the
fortieth anniversary of the day she
began helping him build his first
airplane.
The hosts and their honor guests
received in the lounge off the Ter
race Room, Mrs. Mosier wearing a
handsome gown of white lace and
Mrs. Martin wearing black velvet
and ermine with large corsage OF
orchids pinned to her shoulder.
Cocktails were served in the
lounge before the party moved into
the dining room, where tables for
eight had been arranged. There
were 18, and on each there was "a
picture of a different. type PLANE,
the complete series representing the
progression of models in plane
building through the years.
Place cards bearing pictures OF
planes were given to the guests
before they entered the dining room
and they found their places by
matching the pictures on the cards
with those on the tables.
Mounds of white carnations and
pink roses decorated the tables and
at each place there was a tall pink
candle that shed its soft glow over
the scene throughout the dinner.
There also was unique favor Tor
each guest, a small, gold-bound
booklet enclosing series of photo
graphs of the honor guests taken
through the years from 1908 to 1949
Invitations to the party included
both official and resident society,
and among those accepting were the
Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs.
John w. Snyder, the Special Assist
ant to the President and Mrs. John
r. Steelman, the Military Aide to
the President and Mrs. Harry

Mrs. Harold Burton. Senator and

any unexpected situation. They had
to be men who know a lot of people
and who could get around effective

they include red heads, blonds and
