Mr, and Mrs. John Hill Morgan of Farmington, Conn., are in Washing- ton for a few days, stopping at the Carlton Hotel. With them are Mr. and Mrs. William Davis Mille of Wakefield, R. I. Mrs. C.

For he really is paying you what is considered in Europe an A No. 1 compliment. In other words, you have style and distinction. All of which brings us to Lucy Crarmalt, formerly Lucy Kaminer, whose family cwns & plantation at Gadsden, S. C. Lucy and her husband, Churchill, were among the dinner guests at Victor Sutro’s the other night. Ancient poets invariably paid homage to a maiden’s walk and it is unfortunate that nowadays the feminine art of graceful walking seems obsolete. However, to watch Lucy Crarmalt’s effortless gliding and superb carriage, which enhance her lovely figure, 1s a pleasure. The Sutro house, like so many in Georgetown, is over a hundred years old and has a red brick exterior with an in- viting brass knocker. Inside the architecture is Georgian and a unique fan-doorway greets the eye upon entrance. The drawing room is Victorian, the walls are an iridescent gray- ish-blue, red brocade with festooned valances grace the windows. Light is furnished by several old Wedgwood vases, now attractive lamps, while over the mantel examples of rare black Wedgwood catch the interest. Everything in Victor Sutro’s house is a pedigreed antique, having been either inherited or carefully collected. However, in the decorating of the dining room Victor has risen to undreamed- of esthetic heights in a bachelor’s interior decorating ability. The walls are an intensified Della Robbia blue, and white satin brocade portieres complete the picture; we looked around fully expecting to find, somewhere, a large bowl of colored fruits necessary to com- plete that famous artist's renowned color scheme. Heppelwhite furniture . . . imported Laconia china from Florence . . . glassware from Murano . . . pointe de Venise covering the table . . . candles in the sconces, all were in excellent taste. Upstairs in the library, whose narrow width and curved ceiling have caused it to be named the “Pullman diner,” coffee was served. In this room large sofas and comfy chairs, as well as countless books, are to be found. At present living with Victor are George West and Richard Hawkins, both students at Manniz Walker’s Foreign Service School. George West is an accomplished linguist and con- sidered the scholastic member of the household, while Dick Hawkins’ education, outside of the usual Yale graduation, has been polished off in the drawing rooms of London and Paris; Victor’s spare time goes into artistic pursuits and voyaging to and from New York. at the Carlton Hotel.
