SHOWING gay young set will find Fourteenth | day, N By the Way— Beth Blaine A LITTLE bit of old New York was transported ‘o Washington this past week end for the “grand” party the Bernard Harrisons gave Saturday night in their house on N street in Georgetown. The dance was such a success that we feel sure the New Yorkers who came down must have very pleasant memories of Washington. Among the out-of-towners were Mr. and Mrs, William Emmet, Mrs. Emmet before her marriage was Lilly Cushing, sister of Howard Cushing and one of the most fascinating-looking persons we know. It seems funny to think of Triny McCormick being a New Yorker, but now that she is Mrs. Courtlandt Barnes, jr., and lives away from here she must be considered as such. With her delightful husband, whose sense of humor is the top and who also plays the piano extremely well, she opened the house of her mother, Mrs. Albert Simms, in Georgetown for the week end and brought with her Mr, and Mrs. Ned Stone of Mount Kisco. The Barnes family was further represented by the former “Sister” Barnes, now Mrs. Joseph Bryan, 3d, who is brimming with Barnes charm, for any one who has had the pleasure of knowing that family is aware that they are the nicest and most attractive people one could find in a long day’s walk. The Jack Gates, Walter Maynards, Jack Parkinsons (Mrs. Parkinson before her marriage was Betty Bliss, a niece of Mrs. Louis Little), Paul Nitze, whose wife, the jormer Phyllis Pratt, was ill and could not make it; Jeff Platt, Bobby Bishop and the Oliver O’Donnells, who stopped with the Mathews Dicks, were all on hand. Saturday night many persons discovered for the first time that their host, Mr. Harrison, is one of the best orchestra leaders in the country. Any time you wish to have German waltzes played to perfection, we suggest that you send for him! Mrs. Harrison, tall and attractive, was looking very well in a black and pink outfit with some pink flowers perched on the top of her lovely, soft, curly brown hair. The Belgian Ambassador and the Polish Ambassador were both enjoying themselves, mot to mention the Italian Ambassador and Signora de Suvich and some late arrivals, who added much to the gaiety of mations, were Mr. and Mrs. James F. Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Maj. Ferry Heath and Hugh D. Auchincloss, who came on from another gay party at Grass- lands. Washington, too, was there, in the form of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Du Bose, Lady Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. David Edward Finley, Philip Broad- mead, William Brewster, Mr. and Mrs. Mathews Dick, David Bruce, Col. and Mrs. Cary Grayson, who brought with them Mr. and Mrs. Trubee Davison; Jeflerson Coolidge, who came down for the Alfalfa dinner; George Harrison and many, many more. It was indeed a pleasant sight to see Mr. and Mrs. Roger Cortesi and Grace Hendrick Eustis once more in our midst, though sad but true, all plan- ning to return to New York last night or today. * x ¥ x T IS too bad there are not more rooms in the world lighted by candles. This thought is always brought to mind when entering the lovely drawing room in the Mathews Dicks’ house on Massachusetts avenue. Yesterday after- noon, though Mathews Dick had to go to Chicago on business earlier in the rs. Dick entertained a number of friends in the late afternoon. Coming in out of the pouring rain we discarded our galoshes and umbrellas and climbed the wide staircase to the French-furnished drawing room, with its beautiful Aubusson rug. The many sconces on the wall, the girandoles on the mantels in both that room and the dining room. were ablaze with candlelight, and in each fireplace a cheery energetic fire radiated welcome. Mrs. Dick, wearing the loveliest of pale gray velvet dresses, was the ideal hostess, offering us everything and anything from tea to sherry, and the tea table proved most popular on that dreary day. There we saw many familiar and nice faces, including those of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bell Sweeney, Mrs. Kent Legare in that frightfully be- coming and enviable little “number” of a hat which is nothing but a black velvet scull cap with a bunch of redish flowers balancing on the top of her forehead and a black veil which is most intriguing and which she manages gracefully never, never to get into her cup of tea; Mr. and Mrs. George Garrett, M. and Mme. Saint, the latter just recovered from “la grippe”; Miss Irene Boyle, the Marquis di Sant’Orsola, Mrs. Vinton Chapin and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Reed receiving @ welcome after an absence from Washington. Somewhere around 7:15 we managed to tear ourselves away with effort, we might say, for it was a truly genial and attractive gathering and there (Continued on Fourth Page.)
