By the Way— Beth Blaine ll UMOR has it that Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, jr., United States Minister to Norway, is to be transferred to Poland—thereby changing his position from Envoy Extraordinary and Minis- ter Plenipotentiary to Ambassador Extraordina®y and Plenipoten= tiary! This is merely a rumor picked up at a recent cocktail party, which we have not been able to confirm. However, it is very prob- able, and the change will not surprise the Biddles’ many friends. * ¥ X ¥ WE ADD to the list of those who are southward bound, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Owen Coffin, who are off tomorrow for Florida. They are going by motor to Pompano, and if they don’t like it there they will move on until they find a spot that appeals to them. Quite the ideal way to spend a vacation! Mr. and Mrs. Coffin will be‘az;ai/ s*everal weeks. | ——— LAST evening we had a most interesting and delightful time with with a very small group of music lovers and the very young French pianist, Paul Doguereau, who played on and on——! Paul Doguereau is visiting in Washington this week and has been heard at one or two places, most informally, with just a few music lovers present. Sitting with two or more musicians during his playing was illuminating, although his music obviously was beautiful even to the unitiated, but the conversation of the others added more to our enjoyment, because of their enthusiasm. M. Doguereau, who has studied with Petri, Busoni and Paderewski, will be in Balti- more over the week end as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Colston. He will be feted there as he has been here, for Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Abell are entertaining Sunday afternoon at teatime, when the gifted young pianist will give a program. His is a charming per- sonality, with the enthusiasm and eagerness of youth, but also having the seriousness of a much older man. His playing is vivid and brilliant, with no trace of sentimentality. After his visit in Baltimore M. Doguereau will go to Philadelphia, then Boston, and will be back with us again in April, when he will give a recital. Last evening he went from Bach—Petri arrangement, of course— to Brahms, then Chopin and some lovely, unfamiliar things of Faure. And the evening, following the most satisfying dinner with very interesting companions, was altogether the most delight- ful in many moons and one only to be had in Washington. P AWRENCE WOOD ROBERT, known better as Chip, flew up from Florida for the dinner last night at the Mayflower and today is flying back to Palm Beach to join Mrs. Robert at the Edward T. Stotesburys, where they have been stopping for the past week. Apparently Chip Robert was not the only sun- burned individual at the victory dinner, for sitting at the head table were Postmaster General Farley, the very picture of health, and Administrator Stewart McDonald of the Federal Housing Administration, who returned Monday from Florida. Mr. McDonald is building a house in Palm Beach, and, from all reports, it is going to be very attractive and, like so many houses in that part of the world, it will have a lovely little patio—for, after all, no house in the South is quite complete without a patio. * ¥ * % 'ROM Ferry K. Heath we heard the pleasant news that Mrs. Eliot Buffinton is appearing in Washington on Monday. Before her marriage Mrs. Buffinton was Janet Shearson, a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Shearson of New York and Palm Beach. Janet is one of the loveliest looking persons we know, and very much loved and |admired. After her husband’s death several years ago, Janet had to become a business woman, and has done extremely well, leading the life of a true working person in New York, commuting every day from Mount Kisco to her place of business in the big city, returning | to the country in the afternoon late, just in time to catch a glimpse !or her two entrancing children. Janet arrives late Monday after- noon, and is stopping at the Mayflower, and that evening Maj. Heath has invited a very few friends to dinner in her honor. Invitation to Misses, Juniors and Younger Cirls Tomorrow, SatlUrday, we will show a very unusual group of stunning new suits, dresses, coats and sportswear for Spring . . . so refreshing and different that you’ll want them on sight: They are, you well know, the best goods to be had, and among them we have included many at moderate prices.
