Concert Latin American Music Given at Pan- American Union. HE last of the al fresco con- certs this season was given last evening on the esplanade of the Pan-American Union. ‘The evening was ideal and the large number of guests heard the United States Marines Band Capt. Taylor Branson, give a program of Latin American music, assisted by Francisco Tortolero, Mexican tenor, and solos were given by members of the band, including Luis Guzman, flute; Albert Schoepper, violin, and Charles Owen and Oliver Zinsmeister, xylophones. George H. Wilson played accompani- ments for Senor Tortolero for one group of songs. Dr. Leo 8. Rowe, director general of the union, stood at the front door to receive the guests, having a greeting for each. Many in the large company were strangers in Washington and had their first view of the beautiful building and the very unusual and fairylike scene in the Asztec garden, with its lily pond agd its background of the grottolike blue light in the portico of the annex. Chairs were placed in the garden and on the por- tico ef the annex, where guests could hear the music and enjoy the cool and fsagrance of the hedges and the trees surrounding the garden. Among the members of the diplo- matic corps attending the concert were the Ambassador of Chile, Senor Dr. Manuel Trucco, and his daugh- ters; the Ambassador of Cuba, Dr. Guillermo Patterson y de Jauregui, and his daughter, Miss Olga Patter- son; the Ambassador of Mexico and Senora de Castillo Najera; the Min- ister of Ecuador and Senora Eloy Alfaro; the Minister of Haiti and Mme.

An entire mew - group of Caritons at 7.75. Others 8.75 and 10.73 Exclusively at 1207 F Street..Fit Floor By the Way— Beth Blaine TH] festivities for the delegates and members of the World Power Conference continued in full swing throughout yesterday. It was a case of far, far into the night, for many were seen at the midnight premiere of “Anthony Adverse” which held one’s attention until after 3 o'clock. More power to those 3,000 delegates for they bore up magnificently through a most strenuous five days. In the late afterncon the Prench Ambassador and Mme. de Laboulaye entertained their countrymen and women at tea. Mme. de Laboulaye, her usual charming self and most delightful hostess, received the guests in the library. She wore a long flowered chiffon dress and her daughter, Mile. Marie Therese, who is as gracious and attractive as her parents, looked too sweet in a very plain, but exceedingly smart, pale green crepe de chine afternoon dress. After greeting the host and hostess the guests wandered out onto the terrace, where more than a hundred delegates and their wives were gathered. One was immediately impressed with the large number of extremely chic and attractive French women present. Mme. Rouz was particularly smartly dressed in a black and white figured dress, tailored like a coat, with black velvet revers and cuffs, a black velvet purse and the smartest little black velvet beret imaginable. The whole outfit just acreamed “Paris” and was balm to the eyes, for at this point tennis x dresses and flowered prints have definitely begun to pall. The three Miss Pattens were there and in their fluent French were making the visitors feel very much at home. Miss Josephine Patten was deep in conversation with another very smart Frenchwoman, who turned out to be Mme. Genthial. One by one the delegates arrived and in vain we tried to read their names off their badges, but without much success, though we found that Mme. De Bousquet, Mme. Felix and Mme. Frontard were all perfect examples of beautifully dressed French women. Meanwhile, in the absence of his Brittanic majesty’s Ambassador, the Counselor of Embassy, Mr. Victor Mallet, assisted by Mr. Philip Broadmead, were showing some hospitality to the world power delegates Jrom Great Britain. Dashing up to the British Embassy, we discovered that it was a garden party and the women were dressed accordingly—in the English manner. The terrace was a riot of light-colored Summer dresses, with long, full skirts, large picture hats and long gloves. Lady Hartley, wife of Sir Harold Hartley, was there and perfectly delightful., She likes America and was most enthusiastic about everything ezcept the air conditioning, which she fears is giving her pmeumonia, and was horrified when told that opening the window in her room most probadly will ruin the entire cooling system in the hotel! Other parties were going on, too—yesterday—don’t let any one tell you that there is no ene in Washington! There were certainly nearly 250 persons 8t both the above-mentioned teas, and Bill Brewster of the Federal Housing Administration gave a cocktail party for about 25 of his friends. The reason for this party was rather sad, since it was a farewell to Philip Bastedo, who leaves for New York Saturday and will be very much missed here. Bill Brewster, Phil Bastedo, John Elting, Ned Shafler and Thatcher Winslow have been keeping bachelor quarters this Summer at 2601 Thirtieth street, the house in which the Lucius Wilmerdings lived last Winter. With the departure of Mr. Bastedo and possibly Mr. Elting, though it is hoped that he will change his mind and remain here, the household is breaking up. The population of Washington is positively kaleidoscopic—here today and gome tomorrow seems to be the case— and more’s the pity when very eligible bachelors depart! It looks as though New York was going to get a number of brea’s this Winter! Among those present at the Brewster “get-together” were the Lucius Wilmerdings, who have just moved in to a house in Georgetown; Caroline Thompson, Martha Anne Harriman of Federal Housing fame, Jack Foote, also of F. H. A.; Betty Hardie, just back from Maine, where she spent the holiday with her brother and his wife; Mary Cowles of R. F. C. fame, since she is secretary to none other than the general counsel, Mr. James B. Alley; Philip Bourne, another person who talks vaguely of leaving our Nation's Capital; Mrs, Michael Ross, the former Camille Miller, well known in the Youth Admine istration; Mrs. Edward Burling, the former Connie Perin, who left last night for Watch Hill to visit her parents; Jerry Wright, Wally Russell and others who had left before we arrived upon the scene. Last Day of the Clearance Sale of Women’s and Girls’ White Shoes and some small lots of black, brown, blue and gray Pumps, Oxfords, Straps at 2.85 It's intensive clearance that justifies such tremendous reductions as we have made. They are shoes that have had popular place in our regular stock—and they will be wearable far into the early Fall.
