This is what this room was
designed for" said Sir Roger
Makins as he waltzed expertly
among his guests in the gilt
tering ballroom of the British
Embassy.
The room in which two
queens of England have re-
ceived the residents of Wash
ington is commonly used as a
huge drawing room. On royal
occasions it has been cleared
of furniture for reception
lines. For late suppers it has
been the setting for an addi-
tional large buffet table.
But on Saturday night its
three mammoth crystal chan
delierS, its walls lined with
dark mirrors and peach mar
BILE glistened down on a scene
that bef1t its elegance. Oddly
enough only about five dances
have been given there since
the embassy was built, and
three of them were put on by
the present occupants. :. In
cidentally. new, attractive and
more suitable furniture for
this room is now en- route from
England.
Strictly Unofficial
The dance was a memorable
swans song to the MakinS'
memorable stay in Washing
ton. 1t was strictly a nom
official, personal goodbye prior
to their departure Thursday.
Ambassador and Lady Ma
kins babe their official fare

afternoon reception last Tues
day. Though they invited some
of their own friends to Sat-

for their tall brunei twin
daughters, Mollie and Cynthia.

In the Mode
Biggest eye stopper. how

young fashion editor of Vogue.
Denise Lawson-Johnston. She
looked as though she had
stepped from the pages of her

gown slashed at the collar
with white satin, and long
white kid gloves which she
never took off, she also
effected the new full blown
couture for her blond locks.
