Last week in the Bremen came Cynthia Davis. Whether she is quite as enriusiastic about Russia as her sister Helen remains to be seen, or rather heard, for as yet we have not had & chance to talk to her of the trip. In the same boat came Dudley Brown, formerly of the A, A. A, who upon resigning from said organe ization last Spring immediately set sail for foreign lands, concentrating mostly upon Germany, Holland and Switzerland, and also in the Bremen was Bill Breese. Cynthia came down here for the week end, but is leaving today for New York, where she will take part in the political game, allyig herself with Mrs. Robert L. Bacon and her great band of workers. Steaming into port last Thursday in the Europa came Elinor Ryan, who was met at quarantine by an ardent admirer, not unknown to Washington, though he no longer lives here, having procured an extremely good job in New York. Though not returning from a Summer in Europe, but back in ‘Washington after nmearly two years in the Philippines, comes Elisha Lee, Jormerly of the Federal Alcohol Control Administration, when it was under the guiding hand of Mr. Joseph H. Choate. After leaving the F.A.C. A, Elisha, who is the son of the late Elisha Lee, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was &gployed by the A.A.A. and sent im- mediately to the Philippines to tackle the sugar situation. Alas, he and Dudley Brown are not back in Washington to stay. This is only a prolonged week end, which we hope may last till Wednesday, for they have to return to their respective cities, Philadelphia and New York. * k% X PON making a visit to Washington, her native city, to appear at the Na« tional last week, Miss Ina Claire realized all over again what a really lovely city this is, and at luncheon on Friday she was bubblirg cver (that is the best way to describe Miss Claire, for she is the most enthusiastic person and just exactly the same off the stage as she is on) with her plans to buy “lots and lots” of little houses in Georgetown to do over. It is a most pleasing thought that some day she will come back here to live. It was nice to have news from Miss Claire of Eddie and Anita Lobkowicz, whom she saw this Summer in Austria. Anita before her marriage to Prince Edward Lobkowica was Anita Lihme, well known both in Chicago and New York as well as on Long Island, where she lived for several years. * kX % PRISCILLA WATSON, daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Adolphus ‘ Watson, who has recently announced her engagement to Sandy Liggett with the wedding scheduled “within a couple of months,” really has a lot to be thrilled about. Most future brides receive the one pre= liminary promissory ring, which for Priscilla is a nice square diamond. It seems, however, that her secret pride is another ring which she wears on her little finger, also from Sandy. This one is a rare Egyptian scarab held on by a twist of gold, copied from its original setting when it was worn by @ princess several thousand years ago. Very tiny, and almost white, it is ertremely rare, and for many years has been the object of secret aspiration of several museums, each one cherishing the hope that Mrs. Liggett would present it to them. It has been in the Liggett family over 50 years—we know that on Priscilla’s little finger it is is assured of passing the century mark, so great is her pride in it. * k% ¥ APPARENTLY Mrs. James Curtis is going to live in the 1325 F Street Club this Winter, as she did last year, and her own house nex: door will either be rented or used as an annex to the club. Her young daughte: Pauline is all settled at school in Catonsville, which seems hardly poss:ule, for it might have been yesterday, time flies so, that Pauline was a vey little girl with | socks, though always a most charming child with beautifnl manners, a great | deal of poise and a serious side which made her seem older than she really was. telle, Mrs. Kirk Logan, Mrs. J.
