The moment you hit the “big city” you lose that ambling Southern gait, get off your heels and right up on your toes—it really is a tonic! The shops are filled with gay combinations of plaid sports clothes sumptuous furs, ridiculous hats and adorably crazy hair ornaments, consisting of feathers, fruits, ribbons or flowers—it mat- ters not what—as long as they are perched on the top of the head! The restaurants and night clubs are crowded with such smart-look- ing women that one has to be very careful mot to feel like the country cousin! Last Saturday was the most perfect day imaginable for the polo match on Long Island and everywhere were friends from Washington. The parade of the ponies was most picturesque, with the Argentine grooms dressed as gauchos. And what ponies! The American team would have to agree to that, too, for as splendid as their ponies were—and as beautifully as the team played—they looked almost as if they were standimg still when an Argentine player whisked by. * k¥ % NGLAND'S bustest man is in Washington for the next few days, and it is 50 nice to see him again. We mean Comdr. Stephen King-Hall, who most certainly earns his title, for if ever there was a versatile person who produced top-notch results in every undertaking it is Stephen. Just a few of his “doings,” which like the man on the flying trapeze he seems to do with the greatest of easé: He broadcasts once a week to the children of England on world affairs, needless to say all the grown-ups listen in too, and there are about 5,000,000 families who call him Stephen! When Comdr. King-Hall was here two years ago he had three successful plays run- ning in London, one of them being the “Middle Watch,” and he is the author of over 20 books ranging from histories of the world to South Sea Island romances, which are now being produced in the movies; a councilor of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, he is also one of England’s leading economists, director of one of the oldest mutual insurance companies in whose charter of 1831, incidentally, is written that all directors must be tee-totalers, and as a slight side issue he writes a weekly news letter of the events of the day. Comdr. King-Hall is here with a party touring America in a station wagon and casually interviewing every one he meets in tour- ists camps, hot dog wagons and on the road. Once a week he broad- casts his impressions over the radio. Monday afterncon, at the cocktail hour, an interesting group gathered to meet him and his companions. We were so happy to meet Nemone Balfour who is per- fectly beautijul with her lovely clear English complerion and dark eyes. She is in America arranging her program for the coming musical season, for mot only is she lovely to look at, but she has a superb voice, having studied for years in Vienna. Though her father is Balfour of Dawyck and she is the niece of Montagu Norman of the Bank of England fame, she prefers to be known on her oun merit and not that of her distinguished family. We all insisted that she simply must include Washington in her itinerary. Mrs. Steele wore a dubonnet lace gown | with a jacket to match arffi black | | accessories and a shoulder bouquet of gardenias. | Later Mr. and Mrs. Owings left on a wedding trip,” the latter wearing a suit of dark green trimmed in dark | brown beaver, with brown accessories. | They went on an extended motor trip of the Middle Western States, Canada accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Healy, | and New England and White Sulphur | Among others at the tea were Miss Teazle Taylor. also in the commander’s group, as sweet and English as her name, Mrs. Scott-Williams, looking so smart; John Lewis, the labor leader; Senator Austin of Vermont, who was in town just for the day, and Mrs. Austin, they have had a most exciting Summer on a commission to Palestine; Felix Morley, Oscar Goolican and Hal Horan. Most of us stayed on through dinner, listening to one of the most interesting and absorbing conversations we have been fortunate enough to organist. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, wore a gown of white satin, fashioned on princess lines with a Peter Pan collar, and long, tight-fitting sleeves. Her veil was fingertip length, fastened to a wreath of orange blossoms. The bride carried a white prayer book with | Springs and St. Louis. | Mr. and Mrs. Owings will make | their home in Richmond, Va. | Mrs. Owings attended Holy Cross Academy and Trinity College and Mr. | Owings attended St. Joseph's College | in Mobile, Ala. ‘ < Miss Booth and Dr. Goodman erick Hicks, Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, | Mrs. Anne Archbold, Dr. William Mc- Clellan, the Soviet Ambasador, Mr. Alexander Antonovich Troyanovsky; Miss Alice J.
