H.E., the Polish Ambassador, Count Jerzy Potocki, invited us for a farewell luncheon in honor of Edward Kulikowski, who leaves Tuesday for Warsaw and his popular sister Mme. Joanna Kulikowska-Higersberger, who departs for Mexico the same day. They have added so much to social life in Washington the past year, Joanna with her sparkling, radiant personality, and Edward with his quiet, attractive manner. The guests included the Embassy staff, who had presented M. Kulikowski, just before our arrival, with a very handsome silver cigarette box on which was engraved the signature of each donor— ia rtéally nice present as a souvenir of happy days spent in Wash- ngton. Count Potockt is great fun and has a wonderful sense of humor. He teased Joanna about her brilliant red coat, which she was wearing with her chic black costume—as it is the one color dangerous to wear in Mexico for she might get in the vicinity of the bull ring! The table was attractively decorated with lovely Dresden China i‘ardinieres filled with Dresden China Spring flowers. His Excel- ency said they were a present from his mother, the charming Countess Roman Potocka, who sailed last week. We hate to see Edward and Joanna go, but the one consolation is that they may come back soon—the longer we live in Wash- ington the more we realize that diplomatic friends are not really lost to us when they leave—for eventually we meet them again in a new post, or they return to us with a higher rank. * k x % “CISSIE" PATTERSON has returned from Nassau—looking simply wonderful—slim, very brown and so enthusiastic over that lovely island.

This is merely a sug- gestion, which has proved very helpful to a certain woman on Long Island. Mme. X—the lady in question—was quite beyond the pale when it came to remembering the names of even her oldest friends and many is the time we have heard her mumbling the alphabet as she approached an acquaintance who, as usual, was under the “no name” series. One lovely day at the races at Belmont last Spring Mme X became quite panicky as “one of my oldest friends, my dear” drew near and the name had flown.
