Emily Post

The following name problem is
an exceptional one: For reasons
of modesty. my husband has re-
manned John Doe, jr. since the
passing Of his father, who was
very prominent in this locality.
There is an organization here
named for him and also building
and a street. If the baby we're
expecting is a boy we'd like to
name him for my husband. We
are aware, of course, that actually
he would be a junior. But in our
case won't it be necessary to call
the baby John Doe, 3d?"
It is true (although incorrect)
that your husband will probably
be known as Junior for the rest
of his life, and in this case his
son will have to be called Sd
AS said above, this a very ex-
ceptional case.

Final Party FIurries for Mrs Mesto
Before New York Trip; Other Events

Redoubtable party-goer Mrs.
Perle Mesta, whose activities in
Washington read like a debu-
tante's date book, finally admitted
yesterday that what she'd really
like to do is take to her bed for q
week and get over cold.
This admission came just be-
fore the Minister to Luxembourg
set off for two more parties given
in her honor.
Mrs. Mesta. who leaves Wash
ington tomorrow for New York,
appeared doubtful that she would
ever get time off to cure her cold
what with full complement OF
parties here this week and lots
Of work waiting for her when she
returns to Luxembourg at the end
Of the month.
Another admission of yeSter-
day was that, despite all the at
tention lavished on her since her
arrival here, Mrs. Mesta is home
sick for Luxembourg and says she
wants ''to get home" Neither a
cold nor the prospect of a lot of
work has clouded the Minister'S
enthusiasm over her imminent
return.
In the meantime, however, her
stiff party pace continued yester-
day, beginning with cocktail
party at the Sulgrave. Club given
by Mrs. Hope Ridings Miller and
ending with a dinner given by
Undersecretary of the Treasury
and Mrs. Edward H. Foley, jr.
For the $50 to 1880 o'clock
festivity at the Sulgrave. Mrs.
Mesta donned a black Molyneux
original, brocaded down the front
with pink flowers. She finished
off her costume with pink velvet
hat accented by a single jaunty
black feather and pink gloves.
