The wedding reception was attended by members of the diplomatic corps and Washingtonians. Among the guests we saw Capt. and Mme. Sable of the French Em- bassy, talking with lovely Mme. Lombard; Mrs. Sol Bloom, with her daugh- ter Vera, who was in becoming gray, saluting the Baroness von Below; chic Mrs. Scott Dickson, with Mrs. Merton English, who was in gray velveteen. In a group of bachelors in a corner, dressed in cutaways, were Dr. Petrovic of the Yugoslav Legation, Mr. Philip Broad of the British Em- bassy, greeting Mrs. William Mann, who was with her mother, Mrs. Beall, and Mrs. Sims Snow, who wore touches of gold with her black wool frock; Capt. and Mrs. Allan Chantry, with their lovely daughter Caroline, in high- neck black velvet frock, with Mr. Ottakar Kabelac of the Czechoslo- vakian Legation; Herr and Frau Blankenhorn and tall Frau Struve, also of the German Embassy, who wore dead black, with her good-looking hus- band, Gustave Struve. We saw, too, the Cuban Ambassador with his daughter Olga in one of her renowned black toques; Dr. Ramos and Mlle. Sybilla Skydelsky of the Portuguese Legation laughing with Senor Erasto Villa of the Argentine Em- bassy and Mr. Ibrahim Seyfullah of the Turkish Embassy. After the bride had greeted her guests she retired to a private room, where a small and intimate party of friends accompanied her. Among them were the Secretary of War and Mrs. Harry Woodring. Mr, Woodring played the honor role of toastmaster and read congratulatory telegrams Jrom all over the world. Others in this gay group were the Yugoslav Minister, who was best man, and his attractive wife, Mme. Fotitch; the tall and distinguished Rumanian Minister, Mr. Davila; Dr. Josef Nemecek, Charge d’Aflaires of the Czechoslovakian Legation, an old friend of the bridegroom, as are Dr. and Mme. Popovici of the Rumanian Legation, who joined in the merry laughter. Also the acting Yugoslav Counselor in New York, Mr. Nikola Perazic. Mme. Perazic was in a stunning Parisienne out= fit, with Dalmatian embroidery, complete with a tasseled beret to match. In the midst of the final toasts beautiful Prau Scholz of the German Embassy presented the bride with an exquisite etching signed by Franz Stuck, & painter of the late nineteenth century, who occasionally etched for amuse- ment. There are only 10, known, signed etchings by him. As Justine threw her flowered crown with unerring accuracy to her sister Eleanor, whom trae dition now forecasts as the next bride, the assembled guests started to leave. Mme. Franges plans a short visit here in the early Spring and we feel confident that some day in the near future we will be welcoming the new Yugoslav Minister and Mme. Franges to Washington! * k x x ETITE Ethel Worthington, in her dainty powder blue debut frock, pre- sented the perfect picture of how a real debutante looks. Standing beside her mother, whose gay laughter and merry smile typifies the charm of a Southern woman, for Mrs. Worthington is from Georgia, Ethel was a vision of her sister Marion, now Mrs. Luke, jr., of New York, who made her debut several years ago. ‘The house was banked in flowers and Ethel said that she had opened | every box herself, and had never been so excited and pleased in all her life. Broadtail seemed to have been chosen by many of the distinguished guests present, amongst whom we saw that truly gracious lady, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Mrs. Daniel Stapleton. Nearby Mrs. David Porter, also in broadtail with silver for, was with Mr. and Mrs. Louis Owsley, Mrs. Ousley in a superb sable costume and Mrs. Russell-Bennett in a sable cape. Looking for her popular daughter Martha, Mrs. John Davidge, in mink, was greeting Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock and her niece, Miss Dorothy Sollers, in wine red. In the many lovely rooms of Mrs. Worthington's house, which belongs to Mary Roberts Rinehart, the debuiante’s friends made a colorful picture in their formal assisting gowns. In ome group, where blue predominated, was Carlile Porter, in an ice blue satin, with Anne Child and Ruth Parker Dove in respective sapphire blue gowns. Frederick Drum Hunt, blond Jane Thorp, Jane Culbertson, Billy Reyburn and his brother Jimmy were in a lively clique, with Sally Le Fevre in black with gold galloon touches and the young Frank Hights. Two tall and distine guished girls whom Stellita Stapleton was tempting with luscious candies turned out to be Betsy Burke in black with a red pompon or her hat and Margo Wells in a unique bib of Irish lace. In the sun room we saw little Eleanor Flood and Douglas Bogart. Drifting through the flowered rooms were Mrs, Wallace Merriam, Ralph Hill and Pete de Sibour, whom on hardly ever sees at a debut party, with the Austrian Minister and Mme. Prochnik, accompanied by their daughter, young Mrs. John de Sibour in a beige ensemble. Looking for her mother, Alice Noel Tuckerman was a picture in blue, and we understood the reason for her popularity at the Baltimore Cotillion Monday night, she is s0 gay and cordial.
