Close to 400 members and
friends of the Opera Society
of Washington gathered at
the Iranian chancery last
night to celebrate one sue
cessful season and help pro-
vide for another.
The fifth annual benefit
Opera Ball, staged by the
women's board, took place
in the beautiful entertain
ment quarters of the new
chancery.
1t began at 1920, after a
number Of dinner parties,
and as one young veteran of
opera balls said, Settle back
to enjoy yourself because
this is going TO keep up for
about five hours"
There was no special pro-
gram-none was needed. The
crowd drew ample pleasure
from dancing waltzes. cha
cha -chas, twists and fox
trots to the music of Roland
Hass and his relocated
HungarianS from New York;
or sitting in the inner court
yard around a blue-terraced
fountain, listening to a stroll
ing guitarist and accordion
player; or visiting the Persian
Room, with It's splendid car
pets and prayer rugs and ex-
hibitS of Iranian art.
Small Tables
There was no special decor
that wasn't needed either
in this rich setting. Delicate
garlands laced through the
bannisters, a row of ported
chrysanthemums in the main
hallway and some greenery in
the ballroom were the only
added touches. Small tables
were set up in the dining
room and courtyard and
guests were free to take what
places they chose.
Shortly before midnight
walters began serving a buffet
supper of crabmeat salad,
ham, turkey, cheeses, sweets
and coffee. There was cham
payne at every table and sew
eral bars provided other re-
freShmentS.
Cabinet Represented
AS they arrived, guests
were greeted first by young
men and women, stationed
along the stairway, extrava-
gantly attired in costumes
from the opera society's pro-
duction of 1.-The Magic Flute. ~
At the top of the stairs they

Clouds floated overhead,
the sun shone brightly, and
there was a cool breeze at the
annual garden party at the
British Embassy. 1t was in
honor Of the Queens Birth
day which actually is on
April 26 but which an EN-
bassy can celebrate at its oiS-
erection.
In case guests were puzzled
by the photographs Of the
Queen and Prihce Andrew

But last week, Sir David and

what would happen if We

full plump strawberries with
cream that always mark this
event, and which, obviously,
she was enjoying.
"The same thing that
would happen If we passed
through the Channel and
there were no White Cliffs
of Dover" remarked a COM
panion.
Guests arrived at the front
entrance of the embassy.
were greeted by aides and es-
corted up the staircase -
cool with Viennesse curtains
at the windows, past beauti-
full bouquets of summer
flowers, through the halls and
down the long steps into the
garden.
At the head of the steps
stood Sir David, and Lady
Ormsby Gore in a cool, sleeve
less light shantung dress,
with a great garden party hat
of straw with a blue organdy
bow. For 8 hours, from 4:30
until 1880, she greeted guests
with her white gloves intact,
and accessorized with black
patent leather pumps and a
black patent leather hand
bag.
Strawberries
Aides escorted guests down
the steps where tents shell
tered bars, and a long table
held the famous strawberries
and cream with petit flours
and sandwiches, where guests
made a turn to start back
up the green toward the en-
bassy. A Red Cross aide
with a walkie-talkie wandered
about the embassy grounds
in case a guest was overcome
by the heat.
Miss Sally Sterling, Lady

tary, in a blue and white print
dress and a garden party hat,
showed guests where the
strawberries we're; Lady
