Plans Are Going Forward For Social Events-Puring Early Autumn and Winter Friday Evening Dancing Class Will Give Series, Startind Decem Attracts BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. While the President’s Cup regatta ecould not be called a social triumph such as obtains on the North Shore, at Newport and other places where such sport has a long established following, the races on the Eastern Branch Fri- day and Saturday were full of thrilling interest for lovers of aquatic sports and served to call together a number of prominent persons from resident soclety and all branches of the military and naval service. It was a beautiful pic- ture laid out on the famous waters of the Potomac and its tributaries, women in gay sporting attire lending color to the groups on boats and yachts and at the Army Wer College, where by far the greater number of persons were accom- modated. ‘But few of the persons who lend lus- ter to a Winter's social season in the Capital have returned to town after a Summer’s absence, yet many plans are being laid for the early Autumn and ‘Winter's program. A brilliant series of events will engage the most charming elements of society. The Friday Evening Dancing Class, made up of same of- fictals, some diplomats, some ‘Army and Navy folk and many from resident so- clety, will give its first of & series of seven dances for the season Friday eve- ning, December 11, and 88 usual the Willard Hotel will furnish the back- ground. The committee for these dances is a typically interesting one, Wwith Mrs. Morris Sheppard, wife of Senator Shep- pard of Texas, and Mrs. Tasker L. Oddie, wife of Senator Oddie of Nevada, representing the upper branch of Con- gress; Mrs, 8. Wallace Dempsey, wife of Representative Dempsey; Mrs. Fred- erick H. Payne, wife of the Assistant Becretary of War; Mrs. Herbert B. Crosby, wife of Maj, Gen. Crosby, Dis- trict Commissioner; Mrs. John McK. Palmer, Mrs, Peyton Gordon and Mrs. Frank Mondell, all members. Mrs. Parker W, West is secretary and treas- urer. As usual the finishing event in 1932 will be a brilliant dinner dance. Another interesting affatr which car- ries & positive date is the coming-out party to be given by the Assistant Sec- retary of War and Mrs, Payne for their daughter, Miss Carolyn Payne, & soph- omore at Vassar, who will be given & reception In the Chinese room at the Mayflower, followed by dancing i the sdjoining ball Toom. Many delightful affairs are being arranged for Miss Payne, whose father is Assistant Secre- tary of War, and particularly interest- ing is the lunchiion for Miss Payne and Miss Mary Ellmbeth McArthur with Mrs. Parker W. West as hostess. Mrs. West will have a representative group ©f debutantes to meet the girls, both of whom have enviable ramifications from ¢@amily and socil standpoint. Nothing bettr than a lively ball ber 11—Regatia Society. could be selected for launching the debutantes on the social highway, and this will be given by Mrs. William Laird Dunlap in the shape of a black and white ball the night of October 31, at the Mayflower. A month later, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Henning will give a ball at tante daughter, Miss Anne Elizabeth Hennipg, who is inclined to be studious and serious, with considerable travel abroad, but with also a fling for the lighter side of life.
