Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Hans Kindler, conductor, yes- terday afternoon, were turned on the new Italian Ambassador and Signora Suvich when the soloist, Tito Schipa, famous Italian tenor, gave the Fascisti salute to Il Duce’s Ambassador. The newest addition to the circle of Am- bassadors at this Capital and his striking blond wife arrived without herald and were discovered by the large audience when their countryman saluted them. Signora Suvich wore a severely plain costume of black crepe rather high of neck and with long sleeves slightly flaring at the wrists and the skirt fashionably short and straight. Her hat was a much- modified tri-corn, and about her shoulders she had luxuriant silver fox fur. The naval attache of the em- bassy and Marchesa di Sant’ Orsolo were guests of the Ambassador and Mme. Suvich. The concert yesterday was the first of the National Symphony's season for 1936-7 and the audience, which comfortably filled Constitution® Hall, was enthusiastic for the orchestra, as well as the soloist.

TILES }REP b SOCIETY. * B—3 By the Way— Beth Blaine wrm soft echoes of the inspiring three national anthems—a daily offering at the Inter-American Horse Show-—still ringing in our ears, we thrilled to the uppermost over the triumph of our team from Fort Myer over the winners of last year's event—the dashing Chilean team. The pagentry of spirited horses and their daring riders will long be remembered. We truly hope that the announcer makes good his promise of more foreign teams repe resented in the show next year. 3 And could there have been a more delightful and soothing finale to an afternoon of thrills than the receptions given by the Chilean and Mexican Ambassadors for the accomplished horsemen. Senor Don Manuel Trucco, after the closing event of the show yes- terday, hurried back to the Chilean embassy with his charming daughters, Senoritas Marta, Rebecca and Graciela, to play host to his countrymen and the officers of the Mezican and American teams. In addition to the officers who aflforded members of society with four days of exciting competition “in the saddle,” also were present officials of the show, many diplomats and residential folk. The Turkish Ambassador and Mme. Ertegun were there, as were the Mezican Ambassador and Senora de Castillo Najera, and the Cuban Ambassador, Senor Dr. Don Guillermo Patterson, with his two attractive daughters, Olga and Zoe, the latter now Mme. Schlatter, wife of the Swiss attache. Olga and Zoe both assisted the Trucco’s at the tea table and Florence Harris, very amart, in a becoming “Mary Queen of Scots” black velvet hat “poured.” The Danish Minister was present and the Fred Brittens and the William Culbertsons were in a gay group. The George Boncescos of the Rumanian Legation were being welcomed back after their pleasant Summer. She is one of the few women in Washington who uses a monocle—and does it so well that she is the envy and despair of others who aspire to such skill. The Bueno do Prados and the de Sousa Freitas-es of the Brazilian Embassy also were there. It was an interesting and gay party. However, the prize guest at the party was an unexpected one—"Darius, King of the Persians.” With due dignity the butler opened the door and with like dignity in stalked Darius, a Persian cat, and a valuable one at that—immediately the center of attention, Darius proved that “he could take it!” A conference was held and it was decided that the Animal Rescue League was to be phoned, when, lovely Mrs. Frances Wilkinson Bunker, in gray with silver foxes and orchids, caught a glimpse of Darius, “Why, he's mine,” said this striking young matron and Darius, with a contended meow, settled in his mistress’ arms for the rest of the afternoon. We learned later that Darius is the property of the Italian Ambassador, Signor Augusto Rosso, now at Moscow and was left behind in Mrs. Bunker's care. All of which explains his nonchalant attitude when attending diblomatic receptions. Then last evening we met them all again—or nearly all—at the Mez= ican Embassy, where the Ambassador, who returned Saturday morning and hastily arranged the party for 9 o’clock last evening, with Senora de Castillo Najera entertained in honor of their countrymen who represent- ed Mezico at the show. This was another gay party, with dancing in the ball room and a definite air of informality, even in the costumes. Senora de Castillo Najera wore a black crepe gown, tailored, its only trimming being the rhinestones at the neck. She and the Ambassador received their guests just inside the door of the small drawing room at the head of the stairs. Assisting them were their daughter, Semorita Erma Castillo Najero, and their niece, Senorita Lupe Davila, * ¥ ¥ ¥ A BUSY week end of teas, in addition to the horse show festivities, gives evidence that the Washington season is really under way. There is, per- haps, no other city in America where the tea hour plays such an important part in the social life. Friday afternoon one of the most beloved and popular couples in Washington, Rear Admiral and Mrs. Mark L. Bristol, entertained in honor of the Julian Allens. Mrs. Allen is the lovely former Alice Harding and also former Mrs. Robert Pell. She looks about 20, so when the most charming young girl of 15 came dashing into the drawing room and threw her arms around Mrs. Allen’s neck we were amazed to hear the affectionate greeting was from Mrs. Allen's daughter, a student at the Madeira School. It was such fun at the Bristol's for it reminded many present of the gay days of Paris before the depression. In fact it was a veritable re-union of friends living in Paris at that time. Mrs. Walter Edge, who was our beautiful “ambassadress” in Paris, was talking with the Laurence Benets who have come to Wash= ington to live. It was sad mews to hear that Walter and Camilla Edge will not be in Washington through the entire Winter as they plan to spend a great deal of their time at their shooting place in Georgia. The Harold Hintons, “Buz” Hewes and many others in groups were having Paris re-unions. Miss Josephine Patten, looking exceedingly well, poured tea. And Helen Bristol's tea service is most unusual—Turkish perhaps—collected by her with many other fascinating objects d'art during the thrilling years of the Bristols in Constantinople. Also at the tea were Mrs. Joseph Leiter, very chic, chatting with Paul Bastedo, the good-looking naval aide at the White House: Mrs. Bastedo, in a most becoming black costume; the Marshall Langhornes, looking so well after their nice Summer at Bar Harbor; Mrs. Frank C. Letts, who is so happy to be in her own house again, and Stanley Hornbeck, our brilliant chief of the Far Eastern Division of the State Department. As we were leaving the Snowden Pahnestocks arrived, “Bee” looking perfectly splendid and wearing a beautiful black-and-silver tunic with a velvet skirt and “off- the-face” hat. Although they have taken an apartment on Park avenue in New York, they plan to come down often during the sea= son to “take in” parties.
