Phone Dlstrict 1454 Mail Orders Filled By the Way— Beth Blaine ‘HIS is by no means the first time we have sung the praises of the marvelous hospitality to be found at the attractive little house in Georgetown of Mr. and Mrs. Kleijn Molekamp of the Netherlands Legation. There is much talk of the delightful dinner they gave for Col. and Mrs. Villaret, who are now in Charleston and were only passing through. Mrs. Villaret was the former Abbie Harvey, and quite a belle here several years ago prior to her marriage, after which she moved to Paris, where the colonel was stationed. Mme. Molekamp has erquisite taste and I understand that her table decorations of white snap dragons and lilies on a background of old ivory lace was very unusual; in fact, down to the chocolate souffle, which brought fourth praise, it was as usual, sans eflort and quite spontaneous. When their cuisine draws praise Mr. Molekamp announces he has plans for hanging a sign in the dining room— “Don’t laugh at our coffee, some day you will be old and weak your- self!” Yesterday the Molekamps gave a cocktail party for Aletha Harcourt in the perfect little garden at the back of their house. Aletha has just returned to America, much to our delight and surprise, and is off today for the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where she has a commission to paint the portrait of a lovely lady she met on the ship on her trip to England just a few weeks ago. Aletha will come back to Washington after she has completed the portrait and perhaps we can persuade her to remain in this country. In the meantime Anne, her sister, is in Germany with their famous father, Mr. George Harcourt. . . . 'HAT recent garden party given by the John Backman Hydes for their dmighter Rose, just returned from Sweetbriar College, was a distinct feather in the cap of New Orleans entertaining. Petite Mrs. Hyde, with her usual vivacity, was every place at once, had on a frock of deep blue tulle. Mr. Hyde having forfeited his usual tennis game in the cause of playing host to his daughter’s friends, was accomplishing his “job” with savoire faire. * k k% NSCONSED in the Dulaney house in Alexandria, dating from the days of George Washington and from whose front steps Gen. Lafeyette spoke, we found the Royce Powells “at home” yesterday. The gathering started early in the afternoon with badminton in the ample garden and all during the late afternoon more and more guests arrived and stayed on for a buffet supper. Signor Fuentes of the Merican Embassy excelled at the game of badminton, but he had some difficulty defeating Florence Harris, who found that by removing her very high-heeled slippers she could get about with ease, and besides that she plays a very good game. Florence looked particularly attractive in a bright yellow linen dress with a dark brown scarf. Freddy Mallun was there in the most tremendous white cart wheel hat, and in a corner of the garden sat Evelyn Gordon and George Abell consuming “Alexander Specials.” Mr. Ralph Hill, who is Mrs. Powell's uncle, was there, also the Harold Hintons, Eva in the sweetest dress, with cherries sprinkled over a white background: Isabel Gest, Claude de Boisanger, Dudley Harmon and young Mr. and Mrs. Kluttz, who are very near neighbors of the Powells’, living only aiound the corner in Alexandria. Another member of the gathering was our just returned lady explorc from the jungles of Venezuela, Rose Saul Montgomery, who plans to speu next Winter with us, which is welcome news indeed. Admiral and M: Bristol left early to return to a dinner in town, Capt. and Mrs. Cutts, who w. leave us soon for Guam, were busy as bees collecting letters for their arrit: in Shanghai a year from now. Nancy Mann was there too, in a becomin yellow frock, and Larry Bungardeanu of the Rumanian Legation, lookil neat as a pin in a white linen suit. When it got dark, Royce Powell lighted, with great pride, and justly numerous colored lights which he had rigged up himself. The bulbs were or less concealed in the shrubbery and with the aid of a most beautifu June moon—Ilast night was a particularly lovely evening—the setting was : most pleasing one, especially with the strains of music floating from the living room, where Harold Hinton had, of course, been led to the piano.
