—10 - SOCIETY. Gay Al Fresco Party At Embassy Proclaims Silver Jubilee of King Britons in Washington Enjoy Tribute to Ruler, With Dame Nature and Society Smiling Upon Scene. AME nature and society smiled blandly on the British Em- bassy yesterday afternoon, when the Hon. Sir Ronald Lindsay and the Hon. Lady Lindsay held court in honor of the silver jubilee of his majesty the King's accession to the throne. The terraced gardens of the embassy gave full op- portunity to look over the gathered throng from many points of vantage and from the pillard portico at the south front of the embassy where the hosts stood to receive, they were able to enjoy the gay scene on the lawn. Guests entered the embassy from the Massachusetts avenue side and passing through the great entrance hall passed on to the portico where the hosts greeted their guests. Sir Ronald stood in receiving, but Lady Lindsay, who is yet more or less of an invalid from a protracted illness, sat during the reception hours. From 4 to 6, the invitations bearing the gold shield read, and promptly at the stroke of 6 the ununiformed orches- tra played the British National An- them. * % % % ROM the vantage point of the hosts one descended the black and white paved steps and broad ter- race with his show of flowers at either side, and further down the lawn wasj the marquee surrounded by gay flow- | ers, from which iced refreshments | were served. Between that and the | embassy, which is only stately from | its south front, were all the members of the President’s cabinet and their families, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Mrs. Hughes and | associate members of the august body | and others from official life includ- ing Senators, Representatives and | other officials and the diplomatic corps, who enjoyed the entire two hours of the reception. British subjects were almost the only guests outside the official ranks, | and the informality with which the guests, enjoyed and admired the landscaping of the grounds was in- teresting. The swimming pool with | its mirrored blue water, the long walks bordered with rhododendron and mountain laurel and other blooming shrubbery, and the long walk just back of the embassy at the end of which punch in which to pledge the health and long life of their majesties was served, all lent glamour and interest. i HE answer to “what to wear to a | garden party” will well be found in the descriptions of the costumes worn by the ladies attending the gay al fresco party. Everything from the most formal afternoon frock to the severest tailored sport costume was in evidence. For the gentlemen, there | was also a varied selection of attire | for the party, some wore formal cut- away coats with stripped trousers— this was Sir Ronald’s choice; others wore white flannels and not a few just their business suits. Secretary of War Dern hurried from his office to the party, and he was among those ! in the less formal attire. | Lady Lindsay's costume, a mos{ be- | coming one, was of the informal | style. The gown was of dark blue erepe figured in a pale pink flower pattern, a bit of lace at the V neck- line and the redingote was of dark blue matching her medium size brimmed hat of straw and her other eccessories. The Secretary of State and Mrs. | Cordell Hull were accompanied to | the party by their young niece, Miss | Sara Dean Witz, & lovely picture in a | white eyelet mull over black taffeta,| the skirt quite long and full, her pic- | ture hat of black straw and a coat of | white corduroy. Mrs. Hull wore a gown of dark blue figured in green, | the belt matching the green of the! design. Her generously brimmed straw hat was of dark green as were | | white figured chiffon with motifs of oxfords to match. Mrs. Dern wore a fingertip length coat of pale gold silk and a wide-brimmed hat turned up at the back. Among those who wore truly lovely garden or afternoon gowns was Mrs. Henry Mprgenthau, jr, who arrived early with the Secretary of the Treasury and remained late. Her gown was of black and white figured chiffon, made on graceful lines the skirt quite long and flowing. With a medium size hat of black straw trimmed at the front with a black and white flower, a smart black and white bag and other accessories to correspond Mrs. Morgenthau was a striking figure. She wore also a hand- some scarf of deep bands of pointed fox. Mrs. Emil Hurja, the petite wife of the vice chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee, was an- other in a typical garden frock, her dress being of a pale green and off- bright green ribbon on the bodice and along the lower part of the full skirt. She wore an off-white straw hat, which like her bag. carried out the color scheme of her costumes. * k kX REPRESENTATIVE EDITH NOURSE ROGERS and Repre- sentative Florence P. Kahn were | among the feminine members of the house at the party. Representative Rogers wore a cardinal red crepe gown made with a hip-length cape and her shiny straw sailor hat trim- med with a narrow band of flowers | to match her gown. Mrs. Rogers is | scarcely ever without a flower of | some kind and at the function yester- | day she had attached to her hand- | bag a cluster of white gardenias. Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Daniel C. Roper were n.ccompamed! to the party by their daughter, Miss | Grace Roper, who wore a coral red | sport costume with white accessories. Mrs. Roper was in blue and white | figured silk, with a blue hat with a narrow brim. Mrs. Keyes, wife of Senator Henry | Wilder Keyes of New Hampshire had under “her wing” the new members | of the Congressional set from her State, including Mrs, Brown, wife of Senator Fred H. Brown and Mrs, Rogers, wife of Representative Will- iam N. Rogers. Mrs. Keyes wore & pearl grey afternoon gown, a turban of flowers to match and a chipchilla scarf. Mrs Brown was in a gown | of blue lace made with a jacket, and she wore a dark blue straw hat, slippers and gloves to match. About | her shoulders she wore two hand- some sable scarfs. Mrs. Rogers was in an afternoon gown of pastel fig- ured chiffon, made with a flowing skirt and the neckline caught at the front by a large flower of the same material. | %k MRS. JAMES J. DAVIS, wife of the oy Senator from Pennsylvania, in a | becoming gown of yellow chiffon with | & picture hat of yellow straw, laugh- | ingly pointing out that the Davis children were watching the party from the roof. The Davis home ad- | joins the embassy grounds, and | prizes of the grounds are their spread- | ing locust trees and in passing Mrs. Davis called attention to the trees now in full bloom. Representative and Mrs, Herman Koppiemann were among the Con- gressional guests, Mrs, Kopplemann in an afternoon gown of black fig- | ures in flowers of soft blues and rose. Her hat was a picture model of black straw and she wore a black fox scarf. | Representative and Mrs. Sol Bloom had with them their daughter, Miss Vera Bloom, who had on a Spring- | like costume of blue figured silk. Her hat was of blue straw with a cluster of red and blue flowers at the im- | mediate front of the narrow brim, A striking figure was Countess van | Soviet Socialist Republics and Mme. her other accessories. * ok K ¥ | der Straten-Ponthoz, wife of the Bel- her costume of | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

A take a lot of uhe chances they do take. It would save much worry and trouble and sorrow in this world. Peter Rabbit is one who fails to| count the cost. He does things on | impulse, and more often than not| is sorry afterward. But he doesn't| seem to learn. A lot of people are | Jjust like him. They seem to think | that because they want to do a thing | that is reason enough for doing it. Peter had stayed «t home in the dear Old Briar Patch because since | Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy had be- | come neighbors he had feared to make the long run across the Green Meadows to the Green Forest or the ©Old Orchard, or the Old Pasture. At first it hadn't been so bad. Hav- ing nothing else to do he had spent his time eating, sleeping and just idly sitting in his form But after @ while this grew irksome. Mrs. Peter, having the children to look out for, was to much occupied to think of anything else. Peter, having nothing to do, could think of nothing but getting away. He wanted to know what was going on outside the dear Old Briar Patch. You know he is full of curiosity, is Petes Rabbit. His feathered friends made is worse by coming over and teasing him, telling him how he was missed by his friends | in tht Green Forest, the Old Orchard and the Smiling Pool. Peter grew more grumpy and dis- satisfied. Little Mrs. Peter knew the signs and tried to keep an eye on him, but she had so many others to keep ah eye on that she couldn't keep watch of Peter all the time. “He is planning to uy to get away. I just feel it in my bones,” said little Mrs. Peter to herself. “Oh, dear, I do wish he could be contented at home.” Little Mrs. Peter was right. Peter was planning to get away from the dear Old Briar Patch. “I've got to,” he sald over and over to himself. “I've just got to. Here it is the time | of year when most is going on and I'm just missing everything. I'll take & chance. Reddy Fox never has caught me yet and he won't catch me. TU just watch until I see botb Reddy ~ LOT of people seem to fail to | count the cost.

Once I am there, I'll be safe.” So Peter took to sitting on that side of the Old Briar Patch nearest him’ that he never would get the chance he was waiting for. If Reddy was off hunting, Mrs. Reddy was sure to be at home. If Mrs. Reddy was off hunting Reddy was likely to be lying near the doorstep, watching the little Foxes at play. But patience brings its own reward. The time came when one afternoon Peter saw Reddy and Mrs. Reddy leave together. He watched them. He saw them sep- Forest and the other toward the Old R0 I HE WATCHED THEM. Pasture. He watched them out of sight. “Now is my time,” thought he. “I'll take a chance. I won't go over to the Old Pasture and I won't go over to the Green Forest, for if I tried that I might meet one of them. I'l run over to the Old Orchard I'll be safe enough doing that. There are plenty of safe places in the old stone wall.” So with a hasty look over his shoul- der to make sure that little Mrs. Peter wasn't about, Peter slipped out | of the Briar Patch and started, lip- | perty, lipperty, lip, across the Green Meadows straight toward the Old Orchard. He wasn't thinking of how | he was going to get home again. He | wasn't thinking of other possible dan- gers.

Woodward 'HIS surname is derived from the office of a forest keeper, “one who walked with a forest-bill and took cognizance of all offenses commit- ted.” The first mention of the fam- ily name appears in the Hundred Rolls of England, in 1273, where we find the name of La Wodeward. The coat of arms here displayed is accredited to the olonist William Woodward, who settled in Maryland about the middle of the eighteenth century. William Woodward had been a goldsmith, a member of the Guild of London, 1700-1774. He was the son of Henry Woodward of Newing- ton, County Surrey, England. Ar- riving in the Maryland Colony, he established his home in Baltimore and it is recorded that the inherited large estates in° Anne Arundel County, un- der the will of his uncle, Amos Gar- rett, a wealthy merchant. In the New England Colony, es- pecially in Massachusetts, we find a number of early arrivals bearing the Perhaps the first of them was Henry Woodward, who came in 1635 and set‘led in Dorches: ter, Mass. Peter Woodward was a freeman in Dedham {n 1642. Ralph came from Dublin, Ireland, and set- tled in Hingham in 1637. Richard, a miller, hailed from Ipswich, England, and settled In Watertown in 1635.

S A small boy, do you remem- ber what big game Molly | Cottontail was to you? ‘Whether she was caught in a trap, chased by you and your dog until she was out of breath or cornered or dropped dead of fright, she was your first prize, and if she had had only a tiny pair of antlers you could hang upon your wall as a memento, it would have been perfect. Molly has cousins well established all over North America. Because she believes in large families, is clever at hiding and outwitting her foes, she has been able to remain, while her giant neighbors are vanishing from the face of the earth. The speed and cunning of cotton- 7 tails is well known. It is, however, the handy lodges with two exits, and the hidden-to-the-observer dugouts, and such places into which the racing | rabbit ducks, that save it. A rabbit never runs, but bounds and hops. | Each hop nets her from 10 to 15 feet gain, and two bounds per second is not so bad. At the end of a quarter of a mile, Molly is out of breath. It is then she begins to quarter, to retrace her steps and try to confuse her pur- suers. There are few animals who do not feal that the littls bounding eotton- r President L. A. P. W.
