After the convention yesterday we went to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Levi's penthouse where there was a party for handsome Jack Kelly and his pretty wife. Mrs. Levi is lovely looking and Mr. Levi, among many other things, owns WCAU—both the station and build- ing, which is the last word in modern radio construction. It was a fascinating party—we were interested in meeting Mr. David Wilents, the New Jersey Attorney General, who is remarkably young looking. Herbert Swope was there too, he is so tall that he almost knocked himself out on & low-hanging chandelier. Judge Pecora was there; Boake Carter, the famous radio commentator, a most delightful person to meet; Judge and Mrs. Curtis Bok, Representative and Mrs. Benjamin Golder and Mr. Alfred J. McCosker, president of WOR, and Mrs, McCosker. It was the radio world in the convention and we were impressed with their earnestness to improve and advance the cultural side of the programs. From this interesting party in a modernistic pent house we went to the Adelphia roof. At one table were Tony and Margaret Biddle, the Jim Farleys and George Marshall, who, by the way, made an excellent impression when he presented his resolution for the District of Co- lumbia. We joined Col. Robert G. Elbert’s party. He is the most per= Ject host and has kept open house in his apartment at the Ritz during the entire convention. With him were the Solicitor General and Mrs. Reed and Senator Bulkley. Helen Bulkley left at daybreak yesterday morning with Senator Bulkley's lovely little daughter Kay, who makes her debut on Saturday in Cleveland. There were almost enough Sen. ators in the party to make a quorum! Senator Barkley, Senator and Mrs. Alva Adams, Senator and Mrs. Robinson and many more. At 3:30 in the morning as I sat writing in the Bellevue Stratford ball room, which has been turned into the press room, a band, still in their elaborate costumes from the Mummers parade, wandered in playing jazz! It was & long and varied but interesting day. * * * ¥ Al WE all expected, the party given by the Tony Biddles and the Laurence Steinhardt’s at the Barclay Wednesday night was marvelous. When they told us they were going to ask only 60 or 70 people and that it had grown to 100 we wanted to wager that it would be pwm epr——— elose to 200, and as it turned out there were nearly 250. Margaret Biddle and Dulcy Stein- hardt were both most beautifully dressed— Margaret wore a flowered satin gown and Dulcy’s was of flowered brocade and each wore & large corsage of orchids. It is interesting to see two such young men holding the important position of American Minister to two Scanda- navian countries and each doing superb jobs. More and more younger men and their smart, young wives are stepping forth in this country to take the places of the older ones, thereby bringing & new spirit in Government, diplomatic and business circles. All of official Washington was there as well as smart Philadelphia and New York. A bar was set up in one room and in the lovely little mirrored ball room there were sup- per tables surrounding the dance floor, but as the guests continued to arrive more tables were added MRS. BIDDLE. and the floor became smaller and smaller, but no one seemed to mind, and we all danced like mad to the grand music. The senatorial group was well represented by Senator Barkley, who might easily be terribly spoiled by this time, but is not, with Mrs. Barkley, who ranks, I'm sure, as a great Keniucky beauty; Senator and Mrs. Duffy, Senator and Mrs. Robinson, Senator and Mrs. Pittman, The Attorney General and Mrs. Cummings were also on hand, the Solicitor General and Mrs. Reed, Grover Whelan and Jimmy Sauter, who has been in charge of entertainment at the convention, and Eddy Dowling being con- gratulated all around on the wonderful speech made that morning. The President telephoned him to thank him, and when Eddy told his wife that the President had called she asked “And avhat did you say?” He replied, “Nothing, I was overcome by his kindness.” Wifelike, Mrs. Dowling’s retort was, “That was a lucky break for the President!” Doris and Jimmy Cromwell were very much in evidence, too, and many, many others. * *x ¥ x NOTHER entertainment Wednesday was the lovely cocktail party and buffet supper given by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stotesbury for some of the delegates, members of the cabinet (Continued on Fourth Page.y JULIUS GARFINCKEL & COMPANY HAVE THE CLOTHES THAT FIND A PLACE IN THE WARDROBE OF EVERY DISCRIMINATING MAN . . .
