By Betty BeoIe

Some of the Capitals better
known figures put away their stiff
shirts and evening gowns for one
night and sashayed about in the
Carlton Room of the Carlton Hotel
last evening at an informal party
that was done with eclat.
The room that has witnessed
many a state dinner given by
the President while the White
I House gets a face lifting, looked
down on ambassadors. officials
and generals as they "put their
little feet out" in a gay square
dance and forgot about the cares
of a nation.
= Former Ambassador and Mrs.
Joseph E. Davies entertained close
to hundred friends in a manner
they found highly popular last
summer at Topridge, their camp
in the Adirondacks. Although in
formality was the keynote, the
eclat was provided by the special
dance teams brought to Wash
ington for the occasion, by the
arrangements for the party, and
by, match. the guests themselves.
n The party began at o'clock and

Square and Round Dancing Party

cocktails were served until 7::30
when the guests partook of a
buffet supper at the small tables
for eight which surrounded the
dance floor. During supper the
imported entertainment took
place. Nancy and Tom Gallagher,
young dancing couple from New
York, did their version of a formal
minuet, a comedy dance that
ended up in jitterbugging. Nicky
and Francine Zarra of Miami, who
performed on the S. S. New Am
Sterdam during the South Amer
ican cruise Mr.. and Mrs. Davies
went on last winter. did a tango or
two.
This was the part that Brazil
ian Ambassador Mauricio Nabuco
probably enjoyed the most, mas
much as he went to this dancing
party on crutches. The square
dancing, though, drew Secretary
of Agriculture and Mrs. Charles
Brannan promptly to their feet,
and also Senator and Mrs. Millard
Tydings. Gen. and Mrs. Wade
Hampton Haislip, Maj. Gen. and
Mrs. Virgil Petersen. Mrs. Rahel
Fitch and Mr.. Jack Logan. Mr..

present.

Mrs. Mesta. who is recovering
from cold, stayed for supper
only. She took a train for New
York later in the evening, will be
back to Washington for very
quick visit before sailing on the
29th.
Ralph Case, in western clothes,
did the calling for the square
dancing with that unmistakable
rhythmic beat that had everyone
tapping their feet. His orchestra
played for it. Sidney and his Or
chestra took over for the round"
dancing. Everyone had such fun
that come the parting hour of IL.
a sensible parting hour for a mid
week affair. they were loathe to
leave.

Emily Post

A misunderstanding of advice is
indicated in the following ques-
tion: "Will it be proper for the
bridegroom. two uShers and best
man to wear plain everyday dark
blue suits at a formal wedding in
the morning? The bride says not
and my son says that you said
yes to someone else who asked in
your newspaper column. Will you
repeat your advice?"
The word formal actually ap-
plies to every church ceremony
However. two ushers do not sug-
gest large wedding, and unless
the preparations are in other ways
extremely elaborate, the blue suits
would not be improper.

The family thinks it will be more
intimate if everyone is seated at
one table rather than at indi-
vidual smaller tables.

lily. especially if you are seated at
a long table that is narrow, per-
mitting those opposite to talk
across it.
Daughters Criticism
Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter
feels that I've put her in the
wrong light. This is why: I called
the mother of boy she Tilted
not long ago, to find out how he
was after reading in the papers
that he'd been in a bad automo-
bile accident. My daughter feels
that it looks now as though her
family sided with him.
Answer: Since you surely saw
a lot of the boy, to ask his mother
about him was a very natural
thing to do. I don't think that
your impulses of concern involves
your daughter or what happened
between them.

amount of the blue, the dress
