One could not find in any part of the world a more gracious or cosmopolitan couple than Mr. and Mrs. Townsend. Their luncheons, which are so thoughtfully and tactfully planned, have a continental atmosphere. One meets the musiclans of the day and the guests invariably include the ranking diplomats of the artist's own country. At luncheon yesterday the ranking guest was H. E. the Polish Am= bassador, Count Jerzy Potocki. Sad to relate, Countess Potocka was ill and could not be there. The Townsends are very old friends of the Potoskis. In fact, they have known the Ambassador since he was 7. We were all delighted to meet his excellency’s mother, the distinguished Countess Roman Potocka, and his brother, Count Alfred Potocki, who are here “en visite.” Mnte. Enid Szantho of the Vienna State Opera, who sang so well, is & young Hungarian and was seated next to the Hungarian Minister, Mr. John Pelenyi. \ The other artist whom we always adore to hear was John Charles Thomas of the Metropolitan. He is a resident of Maryland, 30 was seated nert to Mrs. Millard Tydings, the lovely blond wife of the Sen- ator from that State. Millard and Eleanor Tydings and the John Thomases had a grand time discussing Oakington, the Tydings’ beau~ tiful Maryland estate, for the Thomases almost bought it, but instead they purchased the Masquerader, their boat, on which they spend months at a time. Dorothy Thomas is one of the finest “fisherwomen” in Florida, having caught seven sailfish in one day—a record equaled seldom, if ever, by any man! The Netherlands Minister and his wife, beautiful Nini de With, held an impromptu reception. Nini, as always, was the “derniere crie” in a black costume with a flaring coat edged with silver fox. Among the other guests at the luncheon were the counselor of the Polish Embassy and Mme, Wankowicz, also Mme. Joanna Kulikowska-Higers= berger, sister of Edward Kulikowski (Joanno leaves soon for Palm Beach), | and Sir Willmott Lewis. * ok ok % "V!LLA ROSA"” was ablaze with lights Sunday evening for the Maryland supper given by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Warker in honor of Mrs. Sydney Cloman. Gigantic Christmas wreaths adorned the front door and the same Christmas decorations were carried out everywhere—great clusters of holly and | mistletoe hung from the chandeliers and wreathed the paintings on the wall Mrs. Walker, in a lovely black velvet gown, received the guests at the entrance to the drawing room, ably assisted by her daughter Evie, a real beauty dressed in a trailing turquoise chiffon dress, and her hus- band, Lawrence Wood Robert, known better to the world as “Chip.” Mrs. Walker's son Alcace and his wife, the former Rahel Davies, in town ator and Mrs. Millard Tydings, who are stopping with Mrs. Tydings’ mother, Mrs. Emlen Davies, for the holidays. Eleanor Tydings wore a very smart black dress of the new lacquered satin. There were 88 guests at dinner, all seated at small tables in the dining room and in one of the drawing rooms. An absolutely perfect Maryland supper was served and we can’t resist giving the menu just as it was written. When the guests realized that everything they ate was grown or raised at Webley—the Walker's farm on the Eastern Shore—they paid tribute to the superb “housekeeping” accomplishe ments of our hostess: Crab flakes in shell Webley, Eastern Sho’ tere rapin corn bread; creamed oysters, rice Webley: cold turkey, cold ham, vegetable salad, old-fashioned potato salad, rolls and biscuits; old- fashioned cake, ice cream, chocolate sauce! Just to think of it again makes our mouths water! . Speeches were made, toasts proposed and healths drunk to the guest: of honor, hostess, host and their daughter, all of which were very gay and : | great fun. Glancing about at the different tables we saw Mrs. Claude A.. | Swanson in zold lace; Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur J. Carr, Mrs. Carr wearing a | lovely gown of black chiffon and diamonds; Mrs. Alvin Hert in a wine and | red gown; Senator lnderrs;Key Pittman, Mrs. Pittman in white brocade; (Continued on Fourth Page.)
