Four kinds of Prince Alberts

Zoo. No formal coats, or Smok-

CuraSsoWS, these birds are of

species, native to a restricted
area in Colombia and the first
live specimen to reside at the
ZOO.
Prince Alberts are turkey-sized
birds native to the tropics from
Mexico south to the Argentine
Chaco. Most of them were
glossy black with handsome re-
curved crests. With their pet
black coats and their crests,
which resemble top hats, the
birds were aptly named Prince
Alberts.
The Waited Curassow. who

featherlesS knob at the base of
his bill. The skin lobes on either
side of the bill are a brilliant
blue. The bird goes along with
fellow males, the mates remain
at home wearing a more Somber
outfit. They are dull chestnut
on the undersides, with crest
and wings streaked with white.
At home, the three-foot males
spend their days in the tree tops,
gossiping and always on the
move among the lofty branches
Assailed by hunger, they descend

among the very few in Wash

that neither rain. snow nor

precipitous force during the
hours of their reception yes

dropped from the coats of new
arrivals. no wet feet left their
imprint on the rugs. no be-

storm ridden effort to get

AS each of the several
hundred guests drove up to
the entrance of the palatial
house of Tregaron, they inn
mediately abandoned their
cars to a corps of parkers and
stepped within the dry con-
fines of the canopy that led
to the door. The only evidence
inside of the weather's wrath
was the cozy sound of the
downpour as it beat upon the
marquee that completely en-
cased the outdoor terrace.
Inside the house, as always
in the home of Marjorie
Davies, it looked like spring.

and fragrance. Pleasant mel
odies from Sidney's orchestra
poured forth.
Against such a background
a continuous stream of guests
filed into the spacious front
hall and left to the drawing
room to go down the receiving
line where the two hosts stood
with their honor guests.
The two women standing in
line have much in common.
They have known each other
since 1919 when they played
golf together in Palm Beach.
Both are lovely looking, one :
silver-haired the other brunei.
Both have slender graceful
features, both hold themselves
well and both dress beautifully.
Yesterday Mrs. Davies wore
a pearl gray soft faille silk
dress with an accordion pleated
skirt. Diamond and ruby brace
let's and earrings and a pearl
necklace accented her costume.
Beautiful Necklace
Peggy Talbot wore a black
dress with a fitted black velvet
jacket and small hat of aqua
marine satin that looked as
cool as ice and exactly matched
her aquamarine necklace.
