Evening star., 1952-06-15

The Montgomery County Cotil-
lion held its summer formal Fri
day evening at the Congressional
Country Club, with all the gayety
that such an occasion brings out.
The music was the kind that
makes you want to dance; the
ladies wore their prettiest dresses;
there was a corSage for each
gueSt-the gift of the committee
in charge-and the guests them
selves were congenial group-in
short, the party had everything
that makes party success.
The dance was the goth since
the organization began in 1888,
and one of the guests. in a rem
iniscent mood, told how the cotil-
lion was started by a group of
young men, who dreamed it up
and who got together Board of
Directors. Some of the original
members are still on the board.
The Organizing Committee
wrote into the bylaws that all
members of the cotillion must
have lived in the county at least
five years.
The first dance was held at the
Manor Club and with a slight re-
cess of activities during the war,
the cotillion was held there con-
tinously until the Manor Club
burned last year and the dances
were moved over to the Con-
gresSional Club.
The time of last nights dance
was set for 9 o'clock to give time
for a few parties before the eve
ming program began.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Brown
ing had some guests from the
lower end of the county for
cocktails. The Rockville group
met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Kephart and then went
on to the dance, and there was
a breakfast at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Fisher of Washington
Grove, to close the evenings fes-
tivities.
To make the week end more
complete, there was the garden
party yesterday at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel E. Bogley
out in the hunt country.
The party is an annual affair
and there must have been 300I
guests coming and going during
the hours of the party, some from
the county, some from the Dis
trict and an occasional guest from
out of town.
One particularly interesting
guest was the attractive daughter
of the Bogley's, Sylvia Ann, who
showed her pony during the
afternoon to all who visited the
stables.
Some of the younger women are
looking forward to reunions and
get-togethers of members of "the
old crowd" during the next few
weeks while Mrs. Frederick R.
Annuity is home again for al
months visit. She arrived Thurs
day with her two boys. Richard
and Christopher from StuyvesantI
Town, N. Y. and she was joined
yesterday by Mrs. Robert Linvil-l
Ruth Bondy to her Edgemoor
friends-and the two young
women will occupy the home of
Mrs. Ahmuty's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick E. Lee on Glen
brook road while they are on al
months trip to Banff, Lake Louise
and the Canadian Northwest.
Folks out in the hunt country
will miss the L. H. La Notes,
who moved to New York about |
two weeks ago, when Mr.. La Motto |
was made vice president of In
ternational Business Machines|
Corp.
Just now the La Notes are|
living in Darien, Conn, and their
daughter Noel, who graduated
last week from Bennett Junior
College, will be with them until
she sails for Europe on the 23rd
with a group of girls from Ben
nett. She will be back in New
York in the fall and will take upI
fashion designing in one of the
New York schools.
Mrs. La Motto is talented
eculptress with a well-deserved
reputation for the excellence of
her work, and if Miss Noel in
herits her talent, her career will
be we'll chosen.
