B—3 By the Way— Beth Blaine COIII Saturday, Countess Roberti, the attractive wife of Count Guerino Roberti, secretary of the Italian Embassy, will depart from Washington for two months. She will spend this week end with her sister, Mrs. Hugh Penwick, in Bernardsville, the heart of New Jersey’s hunting country, and the first of the week will go to New York, where she will stop with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ogden H. Hammond. In New York Count Robert! will join her, and together they will sail in the Rex, December 12, for Italy, on leave. They will spend all their time in Rome and return to this country the end of January or the first week in February. During their absence the first secretary of the embassy, Prince del Drago, will occupy the Robertis’ house, at 2554 Massachusetts ave- nue—in fact, he has already moved in. Countess Roberti, the former Millicent Hammond, is one of the outstandingly best-dressed women in Washington. She is chic, soignee and divinely thin and just as attrac- tive and nice as she looks and will be sorely missed during the mext two months. * ¥ % ¥ IGHT now it seems that everything we report is prefaced with “left today” or “returns tomorrow”—but one can’t blame any one for tripping about the country if they have the chance. Today Baron Mario Bucovich leaves Washington for Cleveland, where he will remain until the day after Christmas. Apparently he has been engaged by the Higbee Co. there to take loads and loads of pictures and photographs, so he will be kept pretty busy during the next few weeks. * x x % INANT JOHNSON is quite on the crest of the wave these days, as he has & very fine and interesting job working with Representative Sol Bloom. ‘When seen at the Ecuadorean reception Monday he was fairly bubbling over with enthusiasm to be working for Mr Bloom, who is the director-general of the United States Constitution Sesquicentennial Commission. The festivities, which are in celebration of the formation of the Constitution, will begin in September, 1937, and continue until 1940. Apparently Winant’s job is that of liaison officer between the commission and the foreign embassies in Washington. Whatever the work involves, however, he likes what he is doing, and it must be most interesting. * % * % W‘! HAD almost forgotten that the Andrei Popovicis of the Rumanian Embassy were not Washingtonians; in fact, we had almost begun to think of them as cave dwellers. When the news came that they would leave the first week in January for Bucharest it was a great shock. Dr. Popovici’s wife, who is an American and known as one of the beauties of the diplomatic corps, met and married Andrei sevem vears ago right here in Washington. All in all, Dr, Popovici has been with us for 16 years, during which time he has made many, many friends, who will regret his departure. Living here for so long and having traveled eztensively through the States, Dr. Popovici is cone sidered an authority on “la psychology Americaine,” which he undere stands s0 well that we have practically jorgotten that he is a “furriner.” Madame Popovici’s two lovely daughters, Mary and Joan Waldron, who | have inherited their mother's Titian beauty, will remain in California with their maternal grandmother, Mrs. Bishop, but they plan to spend their Summer holidays with their mother in Bucharest or at some resort on the shores of the Black Sea. Though we may say au revoir to this charming couple in January, | we feel that their strong ties in California will find them passing through Washington frequently. | 1 Grove entertained at a shower MISS Tolley GueSt Wednesday by the nursing staff of Of Honor at Shower | Walter Reed Hospital, of which Miss Tolley is a member.
