Two other popular Washing
tonians, though unofficial host
esses, who were constantly sur
rounded by admirers were Mrs.
George Barnett and Mrs. D. Bu-
chanan Merryman.
Soviet Envoy There
The Soviet Ambassador, Mr..
Alexander Panyushkin was ac-
companied by Nine. Panyushkin,
who was dressed in a Navy blue
suit with white blouse and Navy
blue close fitting hat. They stepped
out on the terrace and walked
around the table, went down the
hill few steps to see the view
but did not tarry more than half
an hour.
Vice Admiral and Mrs. Emory
Scott Land and Mrs. Robert H.
Dunlap arrived about the same
time. Mrs. George c. Thorpe and
Mr.. and Mrs. Joshua Evans, jr.,
were others from resident circles
at the party and Mrs. William
Mann wore an especially becoming
frock of black taffeta with narrow
band of white about the low,
slightly off-the-shoulder neckline.
McNutts Welcomed
Former Gov. Of Indiana and
Mrs. Paul v. McNutt were there
receiving warm welcome. Mrs.
McNutt was in a black faille suit
with the collar of her white blouse
turned over the coat. Her becom-
ing hat also was white.
Also warmly greeted was Nine.
de Kaufman, wife Of the Danish
Ambassador, who, although still
using a cane, stood about the
lawn and chatted with friends for
some time. She was accompanied
by her daughter, Miss Lisa de
Kaufman, but the Ambassador
has not sufficiently recovered to|
attend a stand-up party. How
ever, there were plenty of chairs
and tables about the terrace and
lawn for the convenience of guests.
Many chairs were empty much of
the afternoon, as those attending
preferred to wander about and
meet friends and admire the
grounds.
Pouring Tea
Mrs. Alben w. Barkley took her
turn at the tea table, telling all
inquirers that plans for the we'd
ding of her daughter Anne still
are just in the planning stage.
Also pouring tea or coffee for
short periods during the afternoon
were Nine. Bonnet, Nine. Koo,
Nine. Bohemian, Mime. van Roijen,
and Sonora de Oreamuno.
Mrs. Stanley F. Reed, Mrs.
Harold H. Burton and Mrs. Tom
c. Clark were at the tea table,
Mrs. Burton wearing a becoming
costume of cafe au lait net and a.
wide brimmed hat of matching
lace. Mrs. Clark's brightly hued
flowers which formed her hat
gave color to her dark silk suit.
Mrs. Charles F. Brannan also
poured coffee for a short time. She
was in black chenille and net with
a small white hat. Mrs. MillardI
Tydings took her turn, as did Mrs.
Riggs w, Mrs. Leslie
Bif11e, Mrs. Omar Bradley, Mrs.
George w. Clark, Mrs. Dwight F.

fons B. Landa, Lady Lewis, Nine.
Rosso, Mrs. Max O'Rell Truitt,
and Mrs. H. Conger Pratt.
Gen. BrodIey Attends
Gen. Omar Bradley stood about
for some time waiting for Mrs.
while she dispensed the
tea. and husbands of
other assistants also enjoyed the
party while they visited.
Mrs. Albert L. Cox, jr., attracted
much attention with her unusual
hat, made of black ostrich feathers
tipped with white. which made a
halo about her head. She accom-
panied Col. Cox and held an i'm
promptu reception wherever they
stopped.
The luck of the Davies will give
Washington several more days of
sunshine while they show the
treasures of nature at Tregaron.
