Now, we are here to state that | our humor suddenly changed from bad to good—very good, in fact, | | for who could have witnessed the benefit performance of Ted Shawn | and his dancers in their American saga, “O Libertad,” and not lose | oneself in the beauty and excellence of the interesting program? In spite of the bad weather, we saw many friends in the surrounding boxes, all enjoying to the fullest extent the nine men dancers. Among those present were Admiral and Mrs. Mark Bristol in the box with Mrs. J. Hamilton Lewis, Mrs. C. C. Calhoun, Col. and Mrs. Sherman Miles with Mrs. Pettengill and Mrs. Rowan of United States Navy circles. In another box we saw Mrs. Harold Hinton and Mrs. William McCracken, accompanied by a young boy whom we assume was Master Hinton. Cynthia Davis and her house guest, Miss Chilton, daughte_r of former British Minister to Washington, were with Benjamin Plunket of the British Embassy and Mr. and Mrs. Mr.and Mrs. Hughes To Attend Party of Democratic Council HE United States commercial at- tache to Brussels and Mrs. Thomas Hughes, who are spending some time in Washington, will be among the guests whom Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Condon will entertain at the party which the Democratic Women's National Council will give T evening at 8 o'clock at 2400 street. An interesting event of the evening will be the telling of fortunes by Mrs. donating her services. Others who will entertain at the card party are Miss M Woolley, Mr. and Mrs. Robert patrick Noble, Mrs. Lacey Z Cora Bales Sevier, Mrs. Muriel Kah Mrs. John S. Doaun and Mrs, Harr Schorr. A handsome door prize for Mrs. Zapf. According to the elaborate being made, the cherry bloss which the council will give A at the Washington Hotel will be a Eugene Roberts. Others who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the performance were Mrs. Sidney Cloman, who had in her box her niece, Mrs. Campbell Prichett, whose Nassau sunburn is still going strong and is most becoming; Mrs. Emory Sands and her sister, Mrs. Raymond Welch, and Mrs. Clifton Phillips, who looked more like a sister than a niece of Mrs. Prichett. Another box held Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Exnicios and F. Moran McConihe and during the entr-acte we en- countered Kemper Simpson, we should say Dr. Simpson; Mrs. S. Wallace Dempsey, the Princess Margaret Boncompagni, Mr. Mannix Walker escorting his mother, Mrs. Ernest C. Walker; Mrs. Mahlon Pitney, Mrs. Robert C. Dove, tall and willowy in a dashing black and white flowered print; Mrs. William R. Castle and Josephine housing fame. | Fortunately, we must tell you, our good humor continued and we take back what we said about non-existent taxis. for we stepped immediately into one upon emerging from the hall, hence the evening was quite perfect! * X X % WHEN a foreigner bends toward one with an admiring gaze and i murmurs . . . “Mademoiselle, vous avez beaucoup de race,” do not be alarmed! pliment, you watch him paw the air helplessly, contort his shoulders | and wiggle his eyebrows attempting augmentative explanations . . .
