The party was given for the cast of the D'Oyly @arte Opera Co. and a genial and friendly gathering it was, quite free of any formality and one and all enjoyed tea and cocktails in the lovely dining room adjoining the ball room. Sir Ronald Lindsay, his Britannic Majesty’s Ambassador, seemed de- lighted to be surrounded by so many lovely English-speaking voices and we did not blame him, for they are “easy on the ear.” At all times the flowers at the British Embassy are something about which one can rave with enthusiasm. Yesterday afternoon the center table in the dining room had a beautiful arrangement of blooms. It was a mixture of blue iris, pink roses. African daisies, jonquils and other Spring blossoms, which were reflected in the glistening silver tea trays and silver-covered dishes containing all manner of tempting titbits, Besides the members of the staff there were a few Washingtonians who welcomed and congratulated the D'Oyly Carte Co., among those with whom we chatted were Mr. and Mrs. Philip Coffin, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Glover, Miss Marion Trumbull, Mrs. Kent Legare, Mrs. Albert Dewey, Mr. Edward Reed, Mrs. Lee P. Warren, Prince and Princess Leonide Ourusoff, Comdr. and Mrs. Thomas Kinkaid, Mrs. Granger Blair and Mrs. Edward B. McLean and her young daughter Evalyn. We wonder if we can hope for another English company to come to ‘Washington this year, for this party and the previous tea given at the Em- bassy for Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward were two of the nicest of the season. Here's hoping for another. * ok kX WABHINGTON should indeed be honored when a follower of the season- such as Lady Lister Kaye of London, has for the past few years choser this city for six weeks' sojourn every season. Lady Lister Kaye is at presen‘ stopping at the Mayflower. One of the two beautiful Yznaga del Valle sister of Louisiana who took Newport by storm the year they came out, Lady Liste Kaye is the former Miss Natica Yznaga del Valle, who married Sir Jol Lister Kaye of Yorkshire, long identified with the British court in a high official capacity. Her beautiful sister, Consuelo, was the late Duchess of Manchester, and her nephew is the presént Duke of Manchester. Lady Lister Kaye is a close friend of her highness, the Queen Mother, from whom she received a most beautiful Christmas present in the form of a fascinating jade watch with a long fringe tassel. * * % % LL good things must come to an end, it is said. Now the Three Dances for 1936-7 are finished, the last one having taken place Saturday night at the Sulgrave Club. Right and left you heard people commenting that it we the best “dancing class” that has ever taken place. Suddenly, it seems, waltzes have become more and more popular, although, perhars, Saturday night Representative Robert Baconm was in cahoots with the orchestra, for as Mr. Bacon’s friends know, he is a good waltzer and an enthusiastic one. In fact, Mr. Bacon gave himself quite @ workout and was dancing every minute. Mrs. John Hay Whitney was there and after the party drove to Upperville, Va., looking resplendent with a tiny diamond tiara in her hair and long diamond earrings. En visite in Washington and among those seen were Mr. and Mrs. Courtlandt Barnes and their sister-in-law, Mrs. Tracy Barnes, formerly Jane White, who was a picture in a beautiful white satin dress, be- coming to her tall, lithe figure, and on her head a tiny black veil which fell just below her nos2. Mrs. “Courty” Barnes, the former Triny McCormick, looked like a Goya painting in a voluminous red velvet dress, with a low, square neck and around her throat a string of tremendous gold beads. She wore also a black veil on her head, however her's was much lerger and hung to her shoulders and perched on her cranium were three very large, red ‘ By the W;y_— ‘ Frau Sholz was her tu.rl.:mary distinguished self in a blue robe de style and on her shoulder wore the smartest bouquet of orchids and gardenias. Adding much to the gayety of the evening were the Robert Livingston Clarksons, who were stopping with the George Garretts. Mrs. Clarkson, Mrs. Garrett’s sister, is one of the more amusing people and has decided, in spite of the fact that she comes from Long Island and spends much time in New York City, that Washington is too gay for her, She returned yesterday quite done in and prepared immedi= ately to go to Southern climes for a rest. ‘The Polish Ambasshdor and Countess Potocka are great additions to any party and no one could have looked lovelier than Countess Potocka Saturday night in a black velvet and lace dress with a very long, full skirt and, casually thrown around her shoulders, a beautiful lace scarf, In her hair she wore & diamond tiara and diamonds sparkled on her ears. As we have said before, it was a really bang-up dance and there were still plenty of gay souls flitting about when the party was called to a halt at 4 am.—or thereabouts.
