Schoellkopf for their son, Mr. Walter H. Schoellkopf, ir. a Yale student, but with an Ambassador and his lady as ranking guests. While the dinner party was for the most com- posed of the younger members of so- clety, many others of mature years were there later in the evening for dancing. teas ‘Washington's select dancing organi- gation.
