By the Way— Beth Blaine HILADELPHIA, Pa., June 24—Banners flying, motors filled to cape acity pulling up to the Bellevue-Stratford, crowds, crowd crowds. ‘That is Philadelphia the past two days and for the next few days to come. I have been chuckling all day over my good luck, for it has amused me tremendously. There was a mix-up in tickets and I only had one, which was under the eaves of the auditorilum. Twelve o'clock at the Bellevue-Stratford I couldn't find my friends—I was feeling awfully lost and lonely and decided to hop a taxi by myself to the convention hall. Suddenly there was a great commotion—police pushing through the crowds and yells of “Hooray for Gov. Earle.” Forgetting his great importance, I tore after him, calling “George.” Reaching his car just as it was driving off, the police grabbed me and held me back, but the Governor saw me in time, and, motioning for the police to let me pass, he beckoned me into the car and T arrived at the convention hall with sirens blowing—with the Governor of Pennsylvania. No wonder George and Huberta Earle are so loved, for they are always the same sweet, unspolled friends. Using my ticket under the eaves to enter, I found luck was still with me, and I got into the press box, from there to the front row on the stage with Sarah Morgan and when the convention adjourned at 3 o'clock for lunch Forbes Morgan, Semator Barclay, Evie and Chip Roberts and myself, in a beautiful official car went tearing through the city, the siren again blowing; back to the Bellevue for lunch Surrounded by friends from all over the country, the lights blazing, the bands playing, it is & wonderful sight to look over the sea of faces which are a cross-current of our country. The placards in front of us read Tennessee, Washington, Alaska, Virgin Islands, Massachusetts. Could any- thing cover more territory or the people have a more varied outlook on life? Sitting near is Kay Sloane, looking so smart and pretty; our beauti- ful Evie Robertf, in brown and white foulard; next to us is Mrs. Cordell Hull, cool and immaculate in blue crepe. Mrs. Jim Farley, in brown with a tan sailor hat, with her youngest daughter. Grace Eustis, Alice Longworth and Martha Blair are below us in the press box. Bilt Bullitt, our attractive Ambassador to Russia, was in @ box with Assistant Secretary of State Moore and Judge John Dick#nson. Eleanor Tydings, with the most entranciag white sailor hat, @ white dove nestling on the brim, was with a group of friends. Millard Tdyings is seated with the Maryland delegation, likewise Sumner Welles. Mathilde, so smart and chic, had in her boz a group of Philadelphia [Jriends, Tony and Margaret Biddle are giving an enormous party tonight after the convention, and Thursday we go to Mrs. Stotesbury’s for cock- tails and buffet supper. Jimmy and Doris Cromwell will be there and the party is in thei honor as well as that of Lady Reading and some other distinguished English visitors. At the evening session Bayard Swope and George Marshall, all smiles, were going from group to group and box to box. Mrs. Bordie Harriman, looking very handsome in an all-white costume with a large white hat, made a splendid short speech. Norman Davies and Josephus Daniels heid a small reception of their own. Everywhere there are friends—and what is more fun than a noisy, bang-up convention? * x X X I‘IYRON HOFER left yesterday by motor for the West. He will stop off in Cincinnati, where he will meet up with his great friends, the Fleischmanns, and from there will proceed to California. It is sad to have Myron leave town for more reasons than one. First, he will be missed for himself, and then it seems just too bad to have that lovely air-cooled apart- ment of his, which he fized up last year over his garage, unoccupied. It is really one of the pleasanter places to spend an evening in Washington during the hot Summer seasom. o ETTY HARDIE has gone West, too; she left yesterday. Between the con- vention in Philadelphia and the general exodus of our many friends off on their vacations, the District is a little quiet this week. Peter Belin also is headed West; he is off with Honolulu as his objective. Mrs. Belin leaves for Europe soon, and after once seeing her really beautiful garden in George- town we wonder how she can tear herself away. The Belin house is quite one of the loveliest here, filled with all manner of treasures and the most lovely collection of Lowestoft. The nicest thing about their collection of Lowestoft is that it is constantly in use, not just kept in locked cabinets merely to please the eye. What is more appetizing than eating delicious food—from soups to nuts, as the saying goes—off rare china and Chinese porcelain? To go back to the garden, it is a truly heavenly spot. There are marble fountains playing, masses of the most beautiful old boxwood, a tennis court par excellence, and all this right in Georgetown, yet the feeling is that you have strayed miles into the country.

Walton Moore of Fairfax, Va., | with the latter’s niece, Miss Dorothy has gone to Philadelphia to attend | Letts, will go to Rehoboth Beach Tues- | the Democratic convention and is a | day to remain several weeks before| guest of the United States Ambassa- | starting for the Middle West.
