CAREY LANGHORNE gave a most delightful dinner last evening at the 1925 F Street Club. The drawing room was filled with masses of red roses—the kind we love, large and luscious and long-stemmed and you can look deep into the heart of them. On each table in the dining room were placed silver bowls filled to overflowing with the same love'y flower, which gave a very Christmasy feeling. There were about 40 guests, and each woman present seemed to have on her very best gown! Our hostess, Zadie Langhorne, had on quite the loveliest dress of all—of cloth of silver with royal blue velvet shoulder straps, blue clasps, and a necklace that was of the eract shade of blue. The ranking guests were the Minister of Austria and Mme. Edgar Prochnik and the Minister of Norway and Mme. Munthe de Morgenstierne, Gretchen Prochnik wore a very smart green satin gown and Mme. de Morgen- stierne wore black chiffon with an adorable little ermine coat. She is &0 pretty and dainty it was vastly becoming. y_. —_— Our former Ambassador to Italy and Mrs. Breckinridge Long were being welcomed home. Christine Long was in black with touches of jade green. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Langhorne were present, Marshall acting as host for his sister-in-law. Mrs. Langhorne wore one of the loveliest gowns there—the softest of gold brocades with a short train and a small cape of Summer ermine which blended perfectly with the golden tones of her dress. In a group before the fire we saw Capt. and Mrs. John Gibbons—Mrs. Gibbons in a very pretty pale blue satin gown—chatting with Mrs. Powell Clayton and Mrs. Frank Heywood. Mrs. Clayton's satin gown was of the shade of rose pink that one dreams about and always hopes to find for one’s own “best” gown! Mrs. Frank Heywood was looking very smart in a black and silver brocade. Mrs. Mason Gulick with her soft, wavy white hair was a picture in an all-white satin brocade gown. Mrs. Frank Letts was in black satin with a lovely sable cape and Marianna Sands Wore the most entrancing turquoise blue satin gown with the sauciest little brocade coat we have seen for ages. Mr.and Mrs. Thomas Sweeney were being asked all the latest news of their grandson—for John and Alicia Sweeney and the baby re- turned to West Virgmia last week. Nell Sweeney as always was beau- tifully dressed last evening, wearing a black goun trimmed with diamante, . We could go on indefinitely with this “fashion show,” for every one looked their best and it was a nice joily evening. The club has an atmosphere of hospitality and friendliness that is at all times conductive to & successful party, and Zadie Langhorne’s dinner was no exception. * % x % S THE first news crept out that the Junior League was planning & “celebrity ball” on January 7 at the Mayflower, excilement amongst the younger set became intense! We saw a group of debutantes and their suitors at a recent tea. They were oblivious of their surroundings—each one taking turns deciding what their tvpe would be—their decision being greeted by cheers or jeers! One lovely dark-haired girl announced she was goIng as “Wally"—as a matter of fact she appeared very much like that famous person. Another girl with golden locks decided she could look exactly like “Ginger Rogers.” The boys were not far behind—one was planning to go as “Haile Selassie"—he would.be a Nordic blond—and the other as Charlie Chaplin. We were so amused listening to them and when one very quiet little girl spoke up and said she really thought she was the Mae West type but that she had alwavs been suppressed, it broke up the party! We went on from the youngsters' tea to a “grown-up” party and the cetebrity ball was mentioned again. One well-known hostess turned to a Junior League member who was standing near and asked her to reserve one of the best bores at once, for she never had had @ dull moment at one of their parties! We think it is going to be great fun and plans for several dutch-treat parties are already under way, There is to be “An Amateur Hour” when all the hidden talent—talent amongst the guests as well as the Junior League members— will be tried out. From all we heard this part of the show should be a “wow.” It should be the most colorful of all the Junior League balls, for impersonating celebrities of all nations, of all ages, real or fictitious, gives it an international scove. Many of the diplomatic corps will attend, wearing their own native costumes. That in itself will be an interesting pageant. Well, the seventh of January is not far off and we must study our own type—if, alas, it is only a Mickev Mouse!
