Washington's three most
famous hostesses were to-
gether last evening for the
first time in a year or maybe
two.
Mrs. Merriweather Posts
supper for 200 at her palatial
home, Hillwood, was a home
coming for Perle Mesta after
a years absence. Gwen Ca
fritz was also there and greeted
Mrs. Mesta for the iirst time
since their much publicized
meeting in Philadelphia when
Perle tossed q launching party
for the new Sheraton Hotel
there.
Simmer than ever before in
a pink linen dress and pretty
pink sweater, Mrs. Mesta
never looked better in her
life. "She looks 20 years
younger" observed one wom-
an with envy. If she looked
well, said Americas most ia
nous partygiver, 1t was due
to Los Angeles. She adored
every minute she was there.
The scene at HillwoOd was
a beautiful one. Although the
supper was held to observe the
fireworks above the Washing
ton Monument spire in the
distance, the fireworks couldn't
hold a candle to the view one
had Of the party when stand
ing at the southernmost edge
Of the high terrace and turn

Party Outshines Fireworks
Spread out on the terrace
before the imposing Georgian
mansion were 20 tables for
10. each with a delicate red,
white and blue floral CENTER
piece on the white tablecloth.
Fat, glass-enclosed candles
that burn with ease In a
breeze carried out the Fourth
of July colors and dotted the
lawn with Pickering flames.
Added to these the lighting
in the tall trees and along the
flower beds and the glow from
the windows Of the handsome
house In the background, pro-
duced a scene of infinite
charm.
Marjorie Post stood in her
English paneled library to re-
ceive her guests who then
stepped out into the garden
and began a tour of the
fabulous place.
