By the Way— ; - Beth Blaine WE JUST heard yesterday the wonderful plan which Mr. and Mrs. F. Lammot Belin have for celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anni- versary, which falls on January 17—this coming Sunday. The original idea was that they would give a dance at the Sulgrave Club Saturday night, but due to all kinds of confusion—including the fact that the date was the same as that of the silver wedding anniversary of some very good friends who had party in New York. Wonderful and unusual as it may seem, they have gathered together, with but a very few erceptions, nearly every member of their wedding party, with their respective husbands and wives. The guests, which apparently number about 24, are meeting at the Ritz in New York on Saturday afternoon, where they will have high tea and cocktails followed by a theater party and after the play a supper. It is not often that after 25 years one can get together so many old friends, but it has worked out to perfection for Mr, and Mrs. Belin and every- thing points to a most successful and delightful party. Right here and now we wish them very many happy returns of January 17, * % % % EANWHILE, here in Washington that night the Bernard Harrisons are giving a dance at their house on N street, and there is to be a party at | Grasslands that night, too. Many dinners will precede these two parties, and last, but not by any means least, that is the same night as the Alfalfa dinner. It never rains that it pours! (Continued on Fourth Page.)

OCIAL functions in the Nation's Capital—how delightful they can be! All thought of differ- ences of opinion can so easily be set aside, and this was emphat- ically stressed at the White House last night as the President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained in honor of the Judiciary. Seven of the nine members of the United States Supreme Court, which has in this administration been brought so prominently into the lime- light, were present. There were smiles exchanged and warm hand- clasps as the hosts received these members of the highest tribunal in | the United States. The Supreme Court justices do not take an active | part in the social life in the Capital, and the presence of so many of the | members of this august body at the affair last night was indeed note- worthy. There was such a friendly atmos- phere prevailing as the long line passed the hosts. This, however, is quite in keeping | with every function given by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt party affiliation or viewpoints, when one leaves a White House function in this regime it is with a thought of regret that the party is over. Due to the epidemic of colds, there were many who were forced to forego attending the reception last night, hence the gathering was smaller than the first state reception to the diplo- matic corps. Regardless of this, there seemed to quite a bit of crowding in the long red corridor and state din- | ing room as the party got under way. The state suite of the Presldent’s house is so imposing, and last night, with the crystal chandeliers blazing | in light and the simple, but all the more effective, display of flowers, the picture was one which will be long re- membered. In the historic east room great palms were placed by the win- | dows, and the marble mantles were banked with potted baby primroses, which were festooned with salmon ' pink carnations. On the end tables were vases of Ophelia roses and ferns, |and two huge vases held graceful | sprays of pussy willow. In the green | room there were deep pink carnations | | Adams House for the rest of January. previously planned to have a dance—Mr. and Mrs. Belin decided to give the | at the windows, while a vase of carna- tions in a lighter shade graced the mantle. Before the windows in the blue room were white carnations and snapdragons against a background of ferns and palms, and the hosts stood before a screen of palms and ferns to receive their guests. In the red room there were red carnations, and on the long buffet table, from which light refreshments were served, there were bright pink Columbia roses and fern. Bronze snapdragons and palms were used in the niches in the long red cor- ridor and in the great stone urns there were pussy willow and ferns ‘The Chief Justice and Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, always so punctilious about their engagements, arrived early and took their places at the head of the line. Mrs. Hughes wore a most I-MILLE ‘They | are charming hosts, and regardless of | handsome gown of black velvet, the bodice having soft folds of oyster vel vet at the front. The neckline was square at the front and the skirt dropped into a graceful train. As the guests entered the state suite the Marine Band Orchestra played lively selections. The scarlet jackets of the musicians added a splash of color in the spacious marble foyer where they were stationed be- hind a screen of palms. At 9 o'clock the fanfare of trumpets was heard and then followed the sounding of "Attention” by a Navy bugler. This heralded the appearance of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and members of the cabinet at the great door of the state dining room. Earlier the hosts had greeted the cab~ inet officers and their wives in the smaller dining room, where they left their wraps. As the President, escorted by his military and naval aides. Capt. Edwin M. Watson and Capt. Paul Bastedo, crossed the red corridor to the red room the orchestra played “Hail to the Chief.” Just preceding the Chief Executive to the red room were the White House aides and a few paces behind the President Mrs. Roofevelt was escorted by an aide. Then fol- lowed the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Henry M. Morgenthau, j?.; the Attorney General and Mrs. Homer | 8. Cummings, Mrs. Claude A. Swane son, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, | walking with an aide; the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Henry A. Wal- lace, the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Daniel C. Roper and then Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, escorted by an aide. Mrs. Roosevelt looked unusually well |in a gown of deep petunia-color vel- vet, simply made, with a bertha effect of rare old lace marking the square neckline and falling a bit over the shoulders, giving the effect of tiny sleeves. She wore an antique neck- lace of yellow gold and amythust and earrings to match. Mrs. Morgenthau was in a striking gown of burnt orange, the bodice have ing graceful sleeves formed by soft drapes from the shoulder. She wore a band of seed pearls in her hair. So many of the dresses worn last night had sleeves, and one of the loveliest gowns of gray crepe de chine was worn by Mrs. Cummings. It was made with long full sleeves of chiffon and there was a handsome buckle of cut steel studded with opals fastene ing the narrow belt Mrs. Swanson had on a gown of petunia blue velvet, made with a slight train and the becoming decol- letage at the back cut in the new open design. Mrs. Wallace wore a smart black satin gown, the shoulder straps eme broidered in black cut steel. Mrs, Roper had on white and gold brocade with accessories to match and Secre- tary Perkins was in black crepe bro- caded in gold. After the Chief Justice and Mrs. Hughes were greeted by the hosts of the evening, next in line were the (Continued on Eighth Page.)
