Mme. Jarnefelt, who is a tall blond and striking looking, chose olive green for her gown, which was fashioned with a high neck and was ankle length. Both the Minister and Mme. Jarnefelt received their guests in the legation drawing room, which was attractively decorated in green and gray with touches of yellow supplied by large vases of chrysanthemums. After paying their respects the guests wandered through the spacious rooms. Champagne was served in the library, where we found Dr. Sigurd vom Numers, secretary of the legation, conversing with Dr. Alfred Bilmanis, the Latvian Minister; Mr. Neilson and Mr. and Mrs. Kuniholm of the Far East division of the State Department, who have just returmed from Russia. Also in the library we saw Justice and Mrs. Peyton Gordonm with their daughter and Capt. and Mrs. John Jackson. | —— In the large and roomy dining room Mme. von Numers. who assisted Mme. Jarnefelt. was acting cohostess in a becoming costume of black velvet with touches of rose lame, and saw to it that all the guests were perfectly taken care of. In one corner of the room Mrs. Wilbur Carr, wife of the Assistant Secretary of State, and Mrs. Keith Merrill carried on an animate conversation, while not far away Mr. Keith Merrill and the Baroness von Below sipped coffee. Mr. Merrill was most flattered when a young lady came up to him, mistaking him for the Count de Castellane, for just behind him Mrs. Tuckerman and her sister, the Countess de Castellane, in black and emerald green, were exchanging salutations with Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock. who was looking her usual lovely and stately self in brown with Russian sables. Two tall and distinguished diplomats with white hair turned out to be the Rumanian Minister, Mr. Charles Davila, and Mr. Witold Wankowicz of the Polish Embassy, who was alone, as Mme. Wankowicz is busy getting their mew house on Belmont road ready.. Their first and only visitors to date have been sit squirrels who have literally moved in! The Belgian Ambassador and Comtesse van der Straten- Ponthoz were seen greeting petite Mrs. James Clement Dunn, who was dressed in black Persian lamb with a becoming veil. The Hon. Lady Lindsay was there in black with silver for and touches of coral red on her hat, also the Cuban Ambassador and his daughter, Miss Olgn Patterson. Mr. Clarence Hewes and his house guest, Mr. Arthur Camp- bell of London, in town again for a couple of days, were exchanging greetings with Admiral.and Mrs. Mark L. Bristol. In the center of a group and literally holding a miniature reception of | their own, we discovered Mr. and Mrs. John Farr Simmons of the State De- partment. Mrs. Simmons was the former Miss Caroline Huston Thompson, whose wedding less than a month ago was one of the outstanding social events of the season. The Simmons have just moved into their new house in Georgetown and “aren’t quite ready for visitors” end quote! Glimpsed among the quickly moving throng we saw Representative and Mrs. Sol Bloom, the Minister of the Irish Free State, Mr. MacWhite; the handsome Hungarian Minister, Mr. Pelenyi; the Misses Anne and Mary Randolph, Mrs. Russell- Bennett, in black and velvet and ermine, with Mr. and Mrs. Louis’ Owsley Mr. Wolcott Waggaman: the Ambassador of Chile and his three daughters; the Austrian Minister and Mme.
