can Red Cross. The dance floor
scene was a fitting one for this
popular diplomat as he and his
vivacious wife were members of
the Waltz Group when they were
here.
Mrs. Aminoff did not accom-
pany her handsome, tall husband
who, believe it or not, has a son
in his twenties. The business pur-
pose Of this trip is the Swedish

Nothing so gay or brilliant as
the French Embassy ball Satur-
day night has been held in
Washington in many a day.
Nine. Bonnet knows how to
give a spectacular party. She
has the sense of the dramatic
necessary for staging an affair
with tremendous eclat.
The Capitals best known So
cialites turned out for the
event. There were some 400
there and it looked like 1.-The
400" as each new arrival stepped
into the brilliantly lighted hall
by the sweeping staircase.
Gowns, jewels and cameras
flashed with dazzling brightness.
Each had paid $25 to come,
or someone else, the dinner host
or hostess, had paid it for his
or her entire party. Conse-
quently over $4,000 was raised
Saturday night for the District
Red Cross earmarked for hos
pitalized servicemen in Wash
ington. Moreover nearly every
guest there left with loot"
worth more than the price of
the ticket. It took close to two
solid hours to give away the
$1,000 worth of door prizes.
Secretary of State Acheson's
daughter, lovely-looking Mrs.
William Bundy, won one of the
two most coveted feminine
prizes, and Bill MacCracken,
the other. Greek-born French
designer, Jean Desses, was there
to present to tall, slim, brown
haired Mary Acheson Bundy
three sketches of evening gowns
he had designed from which she
could choose one that will be
made for her. Her husband
liked a flowing white chiffon
dress trimmed with red.
Bill MacCracken won the ele-
CANT, white fox evening stole
which he no sooner received
than he made a beeline to his
wife Chic to present it to her.
She was elated, never took it
off all evening.
AS each of the most valuable
prizes was announced. hush
fell over the guests who were as
sembled in the hall and crowd
ing into the adjoining rooms.
Nine. Bonnet called out the
numbers and names from a
vantage point high up on the
stairs. She was surrounded by
co-workers, Ambassador Bon
nets diplomatic staff who looked
more like the head buffers staff.
From Minister Counselor Jean
Daridan on down, each had on
sideburns, mustaches, and a blue
and white striped buffers apron
over his shirtsleeves and black
tie.

And so it went at this men,

still going strong at 3 in the
morning. The Bonnets gave
the party, the French houses
gave the prizes and the guests
gave $4,000 to the Red Cross.

/ do not believe women realize
what wonders color can do for
them. The difference between the
way a woman looks with clever
makeup and without it is un-
believeable unless you see it.
A fattering shade of lipStick
can make the eyes shine and give
the skin q glow. Eye makeup can
seemingly lift facial contour by
drawing attention to the orbs and
making them appear larger. Some
dresses you wear bring out the
highlights in your hair and make
your skin look fairer or richer. in
tone. And q rosy foundation and
rouge can lift a sallow face out Of
the ordinary.
Some wise women consider the
interior decoration of their home
as seriously as they do their make
up and costume color. Since the
home is the frame or setting for
its hostess, this is a fine idea.
Colors Of walls and draperies and
upholstery also affect our moods
more than we know. Some colorS
are restful and pleasant to us
while others are depressing.
If you are to achieve q harmo-
nious effect you should to as great
an extent. as practicability allows,
consider your makeup and clothes
and interior decoration all to-
gether.
Flowers also enter into the
picture of charm which women
love to create. A few posies in a
room can make a big difference in
the way you feel when you enter
it. Here again color scheme can
make a difference in the beauty
