By the Way— Beth Blaine kind of a party where virtually every one knows every one else, where every girl is popular and the stag line adequate and attentive, where all come early and stay late and no one's welcome grows threadbare—that was the Eugene Meyers' “small” dance Saturday night at their magnificent house on Crescent place. In common with the other guests, we had looked forward to this event for some weeks, for the recollection of similar Meyer parties during past Christmas seasons gave assurance that this would be one of the parties of the year. That reputation was maintained. In the immense entrance hall was a Christmas tree seemingly as tall as & cedar of Lebanon. There were palms and ferns and hangings of the dark green “shrubbery” of the season. “Kay” Meyer and her mother received the guests with their ets- tomary gracious enthusiasm. Kay's gown was of white crepe, becoming to a long necklace of coral and coral earrings. Mrs. Meyer wore a dress of dark blue, lacey material, elbow-length white gloves and a sparkling tiara, There was a predominance of young persons, many of the girls having been Kay's classmates at Miss Madera’s and at Vassar. The latter group earnestly sought from Kay news of her studies and extra-curricula pursuits at the University of Chicago, to which she transferred last Fall from the Poughkeepsie college. Kay's duties in the receiving line, and the rush she got on the dance floor, allowed little time for chat, but even those who got but a glimpse remarked on their young hostess' dark beauty and intelligent mien. Although the youngsters—the gay 20s—were, as we have said, in th- majority, there were a number of married couples—most of these, too, in time's “lower brackets”—and several distinguished older persons, including Mr. Meyer, of course, in animated conversations with his children’s friend: the Irish Free State Minister, the Rumanian Minister and the Greek Ministe: “Pat” Hurley was there with his beauteous blond wife on his arm and a Phi Beta Kappa key on his watch chain. Pat’s hair has turned frosty since we saw him last—due perhaps to the misfortunes of Re- publican politics. Graying hair has not made Mr. Hurley any less ‘handsome, however. Bpeaking of Phi Beta Kappa keys—Henry (Boby) Rowland wore the engineering equivalent for that academic honor on a silver “leash” across his snowy white vest front. “Boby,” a Yale senior, abandoned his scholarly mien around 4 am. to do an inexplicable dance step with Alice Tuckerman. Alice, her raven tresses surmounted by a red bird in full flight, temporarily left “Boby’s” company to do a Charleston or some equally violent rhythm with two young men with tap dancing praclivities. Louise Alexander was there, wearing a blue satin dress, and Tommy Moorhead, who gave a semi-public exhibition of his skiil with drum sticks— the percussion instruments and the turkey kind. Louise’s cousin, Betty Rowan, popular and petite Navy “junior,” wore a dress of blue hammered satin witt & cluster of red velvet flowers at the back. - As Sidney’s orchestra blared lively tunes through a portable ampli- fler, glimpses over the shoulder of our dance partner showed: Angelica Lioyd, willowy, blond and a great favorite, in a lemon-yellow satin dress and pearl earrings; young and lovable Anne Childs, her brown hair arranged in an attractive bordert ring of curls, wearing red watered #ilk; Peter McHarg in a delicately flowered brocade gown of white with broad shoulder straps; Debutante Ethel Worthington, daintily tiny, in a dlack dress and gold net tunic; Mary Gentry, athletic and vivacious Vassar undergraduate, in a black gown fronted by @ huge blue bow; “Mimi” Scott in a low-cut gray dress. Jack Burke, home for the holidays from his pre-medical studies at Princeton, was paying much attention to a lovely visitor from Providence, R. I, Miss Louise Atwood, while Sister Betsy, exquisite (as usual) in & black gown set off with large white flowers of some new wool material, chatted with & group of admirers including Perry Lippitt, the Peters brothers and Hewitt Wells. .
