BY THE WAY— (Continued From Third Page.) the adoring husband and wife as they talked. We have always thought Emily’s contemporaries must envy her that charming look of slight pusslement produced by the angle of her eyebrows. Seen in the dining room, where throughout the evening were gay groups supping at small tables, was Diana Rowland, truly regal in a champagne- colored dress of rich, deep hue, trimmed at the hem with mink, holding court with Michal Budny, attache of the Polish Legation. Diana, who, to our mind, is one of the most becomingly attired young women in Washington, saw other diplomatic friends, including Nobile Capomazza of the Italian Embassy, seen in conversation with Oount Fumasoni Biondi, distinguished Italian cor- respondent. Diana’s was not the only champagne-colored dress. Emlen Davies wore one. Emlen, you know, is going to Russia soon to visit her father, the newly appointed United States Ambassador to the U. S. S. R. That's the trouble with Washington, mourn the men, many of its most attrac- tive girls always seem to be going places. Gray-eyed Margot Lee, just home from Vassar, was telling a group of male companions that she would be leaving the next day for Lake Placid and the Winter sports. Two dimpled Marlatt sisters, Dotty and Virginia, the latter Mrs, Virginia Dickey, wife of Lieut. Joseph K. Dickey, stationed at the Infantry barracks, Plattsburgh, N. Y., were there, too, their fun somewhat dampened by the absence of Sister Connie, who is in Jacksonville visiting an erstwhile Smith classmate, Seen here and there—at supper tables, in the stag line or on the dance floor—were: ‘“Hutch” Cone, home from his law studies at Harvard; “Bart” Bartlett, “Nick” Nicholson, “Hunty” Thom, Arnold Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Wyeth, Bill and Jim Sands, the former on vacation from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania; two Charleses, McKenney and Drayton; Sammy Biddle, the Sowers soeurs, Oliva and Isaac Stokes, daughter and son of Canon Anson Phelps Stokes; Ralph Snowden Hill and Henry La Farge. ‘We left at 4 o'clock with a supply of pleasant memories to give balm to our aching leg muscles, less sturdy, unfortunately, than those of the “bitter enders,” 30 or 40 of them, who must have put the cat out and locked the back door, judging by their enthusiasm at that time.
