The night before, Friday, promises to be thoroughly pleasant, for we just know that the Chauncey Parkers’ dance will be good. Coming down particularly for that party are the Floyd Blairs, who arrive Thursday after- noon from Long Island to stop with Mrs. Blair's mother, Mrs, Lee Warren, and the Blairs will be hosts at dinner that night at the Warrens' house on Massa- chusetts avenue. * % * * T SEEMS that every one in Washington is just about standing on their head with the hectic life they have been leading for so many, many weeks, with never a let-up of any kind. Every Monday we find ourselves saying “things must calm down soon,” but there is no chance of that until after inauguration and even then we can’t be sure! And speaking of inauguration, Vct. “Pete” de Sibour is mearly frantic with the reservations pouring in for the dance at 1925 F street the night of the 20th. The limit is positively 200—more than that would overflow the place—and the limit is being reached momentarily, with the result that Mr. De Sibour’s telephone rings continuously with hopeful voices asking if they can bring another “visiting fireman!” * * * = 'ASHINGTON is not the only gay resort these days, for this is the big time all over the country, and on Friday in Charleston, the famous St. Cecilia ball takes place. Laura Johnson, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Bridges Johnson, who made her debut in New Orleans last year, has betaken herself to Charleston for the ball and is having two dinners given in her honor. There is no more picturesque ball given in America than this annual event in that lovely Southern city and we envy Laura her luck in being on hand for it.
