The Black Tie Club held
the second dance in its 1852
1860 series at the Venezuelan
Embassy last night, with its
theme Carnival in Caracas"
Like Black Ties November
dance at the Ecuadorian En-
baSsy, the carnival" was
intended to stress the impor-
lance of greater international
understanding in these days
of diminishing distances.
Chairman of the Carnival
Committee was Mrs. John

wife of the Venezuelan Am

New Orleans famous Mardi
Gras is well known, but
"Mardi Gras" refers only to
the day preceding Ash
Wednesday. The entire series
of pre- lenten celebrations
covering a period of weeks
is known in New Orleans as
carnival" 1t is "carnaval"
with a slightly different
spelling) which is celebrated
throughout Latin America.
According to Mrs. Davis,
who has done some research
on the subject. the carnivals
celebrated today in Europe
and America trace their
origins back through the
centuries to the spring fes-
rivals of ancient Greece and
the Lupercalia of the Ro-
mans.
Carnival is very old" says
Mrs. Davis, but it is also
very young, because it's the
spirit of make believe.

EXCLUSIVELY
YOURS
Are Jewels an Investment?
Fishbuit Checks on Women

Don't buy jewels for an
investment or as a hedge
against imitation" Mrs. Robert
Mccormick will tell Diplomat
readers in an article appear
ing in a couple of months.
She was making the same
point at a party the other
evening, only Chilean Ambas-
sador Walter Muller didn't
entirely agree with her. He
pointed out that refugees had
escaped from Central Europe
with great wealth in the form
of jewels because they are so
portable. The jewelry market
is a fairly steady one because
it is controlled. Diamonds
are plentiful but diamond
merchants preserve their
value by keeping the market
from being flooded.
The widow of the Chicago
publisher who owns some of
the finest jewels in Washing
ton, said it's the way you buy
them that counts. If one can
pick up fine jewelry at dis
tress prices, that's fine. But
when you pay top prices at a
store, it's Mrs. McCormick's
contention you can't get back
what you put into them I'M
less you can put a monetary
value on the JOY you get out
Of wearing them.
AS an example she pointed
out what happened to the
pearl market when cultured
pearls were developed. Sam
insult, jr., once told her that
his father paid 1927, 900 for
his mothers two strand neck
lace of not overly large pink
pearls. The son got $4,000
for them six or seven years
ago! ITS the break of
the game" she said.
She feels the same way
about paintings as an invest
ment, although the Francis
BiddleS would not entirely
agree with her. The Biddles
have realized over the years
an increase in the value of
their paintings amounting to
fifteen times the original in
vestment.
Maryland said of two
paintings she bought in 1928
for $4,000 apiece, she's
been offered 100000 for one,
but she doubts if the other
would bring $4,000 today.
"It's the break Of the game"
$50 who minds a break like
that? She has still tripled
her original investment.
SPEAKING OF PEARLS,
she so firmly believes that
pearls must be worn to give
them lustre that she fire.
quently puts pearl earrings
that are set in such a way
they never touch her skin,
into a little one-layer cheese
cloth bag and pins it inside
her dress.
In this connection she told
a story about a friend who
had worn pearls when she
was in poor health and had
taken considerable medicine.
The pearls were subsequently
put in a safe deposit box and
left there for years. When
the box was opened to remove
them, they had simply dis
integrated into dust! What

Nor did Mr.. Lambert King
Of Bartz g. King. He had
never heard of the gem OF
the sea disintegrating. They
will wear down, because they
are only as hard as your
fingernail, he said. And they
turn dull like chalk when
they are put away for a long
time. But when they're worn
again their lustre returns.
The only lustre that gets on
pearls is the oil from ones
skin" said Mr.. King.
Mrs. Mccormick said she
hadn't had much luck with
jewels designed to be worn
several ways. For instance,
at a dinner party once she
was wearing diamond and
emerald earrings that could
be worn minus the emeralds,
when she suddenly looked
down and there on Senator
Stuart Symington's plate be-
side her repoSed one of her
emeraldS.
Don't eat it," she cried as
she grabbed it, much to the
surprise of the presidential
candidate who has no objec-
ton to enhancing his value
these days.
SPEAKING OF THE UP

was dinner party recently
in Mclean, Va, which was
attended by only IL people

several of the Negro farmers
admitted they could work the
land with mules only.
Mr.. Doar accused more than
10 defendants of circulating
lists Of Negroes to whom credit
was not to be given and with
holding meetings to discuss
ways Of forcing Negro voters
from the land.
First in This Century
Haywood County is predom-
inantly Negro, but earlier this
year Negroes began registering
there for probably the first time
this century.

ton Of sharecroppers.
