W & Crepe and Pure Silk Satin SLIPS, $ By the Way— Beth Blaine PRING came to the Sulgrave Club Saturday night, when Audry Campbell entertained at a most lovely dance. The club took on a completely differ- ent atmosphere, which after weeks of holly, mistietoe, Christmas trees and | poinsettias, was indeed a welcome sight. Everywhere, on every available table and in every corner, were great huge vases of bright yellow flowers and masses of forsythia and a touch of pinkish yellow gladiola. Around the cornice " were draped vines with silver leaves, intermingled with green. Audry, small and fair, looked very sweet in a white tulle dress with a very, very full skirt which billowed out when she danced—when she finally left her post at the head of the stairs where, alone, she greeted her 200 guests. In her hair she wore her fascinating diamond and emerald tiara, the loveliest one we have ever seen, as it is of very delicate workmanship and not in any way top heavy, and about her neck a necklace to match. Visiting Audry were the A{bert Franckes of New York and Amos Enos, who came down from Princeton just for the party. It was a really good dance in every respect. Excellent music, delicious champagne and plenty of it, and best of all there were just the right number of people—never too crowded to do some serious dancing and now and then a waltz, yet plenty of attractive, well-dressed people around to make it thoroughly gay. Before the dance Mrs. Joseph Leiter gave a dinner, but when we got there it turned out that Tommy Leiter was both host and hostess, as the lady members of his family, Mrs. Leiter and sister Nancy, had taken to their beds with “la grippe.” Tommy is an excellent host and the dinner was in every way a successful one. There must have been about 70 guests, and dinner was served at five tables in the ball room—one long one in the center and f others seating 10 each. 0 From Warrenton came the Amory Caer and the George Sloanes, who also attended the Leiter dinner. Also the Kenneth Gilpins from near Boyce, Va. Mrs. Gilpin was looking too lovely in a red lace dress, which was most becoming to her fair skin, and there, too, we spied the Bill Dollars. The royal Italian Ambassador and Senora de Suvich were among the guests at the dance and others noted were the Netherlands Min- ister and Mme. de With, both as always charming and ever welcome, and the Polish Ambassador seemed to be thoroughly emjoying himself. As usual, there were several tables of serious bridge players, including Mrs. John Wilking and Mrs. Henry Spencer, Philip Mainwaring Broad- mead, Myron Hofer, the Philip Coffins and Mrs. Breckinridge Long. Some confusion was caused by Mme. de With and Mrs. Ben Thoron, | wearing dresses of the same color and shade, for several young men cut in on Mme. I'Ambassadress, to whom they had never been introduced, thinking that she was Violet Thoron. Fortunately, Mme. de With is not a terrifying person, 50 it all passed off very pleasantly!! It was nice to see Mrs, Kenneth Jenkins up and about—and very much so, for she is the picture of health and full of energy, after her dreadful accident of some weeks ago, when she was run away with while out driving with Tommy Leiter down in Virginia and thrown out of the buggy. Here's hoping for more nice dances like the one Saturday night, though it would be a relief to have a slight rest for a few days and nights after these last hopelessly hectic weeks!l f *xox x 1SKNORITA OLGA PATTERSON, daughter of the Cuban Ambassador, | asked a few friends for cocktails Saturday afternoon in honor of an old | friend from London, John Laszlo, son of the famous portrait painter, Sir Philip Alexius De Lombos Laszlo.
