SOCIETY. —_— By the Way— Beth Blaine 'ASHINGTONIANS . . . those born here or residents by adoption . . . attended en masse the Fifteenth Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Oil Paintings, held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art on Saturday night. After leaving our coats we joined the throng wandering among the colonades of the lower hall and drifted up the marble staircase, banked with Spring flowers and ferns, to the strains of soft music. We beheld the imposing copies of sculptural masterpieces erecuted by Don=- atello, Da Bologna, Mjchelangelo and countless other familiar groups, which we have enjoyed many times before. As the gay throng moved up the imposing staircase, walked around the balcony, paused to listen to the music, or wave to a friend below, we felt as though we were participating at a soiree in the Palazzo Quirinal in Rome. Remembering that this was an echibition and not a social func- tion, we passed into the suite of rooms where the pictures hung. In a distant room we discovered the most popular lady at the party! Though she had received no prize, “The Ballerina,” by Feodor Zak- harov, was the belle of the evening. We shan't forget the crispness of the red velvet rose on her dark looks, and, if general comment counts, when e vote is taken for the “popular prize” award during the week of April 26, we feel sure that our ballerina will cause competition. Senator and Mrs. McAdoo were among those present, with Mr. and Mrs. ©. C. Calhoun, who were accompanied by Mrs. Leidinger from Louisville, Ky. Blue seemed to be the most popular color and was chosen by Mrs. George Barnett and her daughter, Mrs. Newbold Noyes, whose gown of taffeta was most becoming. Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock arrived with a party of young people which included her niece, Miss Dorothy Sollers; Miss Rosalind Wright, and Another group consisted of Mrs. Ernest Walker and her son Mannix, Miss Alice Dodge resplendent in a silver fox cape; Freddy Nicols and Baron and Baroness Serge Korfl. Nearby Mlle Sibilla Skidelsky was seen talking with Mme. Fotich, the Yugoslav Minister’s wife, and Ottakar Kabelac, Charge d' Affairs of the Czechoslo- Mr. William Turner of the State Department. vak Legation. Maj. and Mrs. Charles Trowbridge Tittmann, a striking looking couple, were accompanied by their daughter, Mrs. William Stanley, who, as a debutante several years ago, was one of the belles of the season. Mr. and Mrs. John Spaulding Flannery, with their daughters, Virginia and Anne, the latter a debutante of this past season, were seen in the throng. Several young people were present, including Carolina Cecil, with her mother, Mrs. Joseph Cecil, and young Tommy Armatt, joined later by Yolande de Mauduit and Clem Conger. Also present was Miss Angelica Remy, Mrs. Frank Letts in a stunning black-and-white print and just about fifteen hundred others, all enjoying and admiring the 461 pictures on exhibition . * ok Kk K SPRING in the air—Spring flowers and Spring clothes. B. McLean as about 150 guests arrived for “breakfast” yesterday. Every one ‘was in their best “bib and tucker,” and the effect was gay and colorful. Mrs. McLean is a perfect hostess and as always she was ably assisted by her son, John R. 2d, and her young daughter, Evalyn Washington. Mrs. McLean wore the most divine (that is the only word that describes it) black tailored dress of jet on met, which fitted to perfection and made an ideal background for the Hope diamond and her other lovely jewels. Mrs. McLean has the happy faculty of making each guest feel that she is helping her and is part of the family—the result, of course, is that one and all have a superb time, and “Friend- ship” parties live up to the name. That was Easter and the impression one gathered at Friendship, the estate of Mrs. Edward THE Ball of Nations To Be Gala Event Of Spring Season R. HENRY L.

Easter Modes Worn At Symphony Concert Easter “bonnets” and frocks were much in evidence at the last of the Sunday afternoon concerts of the National Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Hans Kindler conducter, which was given yesterday in Constitution Hall. Small, closefitting toques made en- tirely of flowers were without doubt more comfortable in the wind yester- day, but small and large ‘‘cartwheels” which had survived the blow without were much in evidence. The large audience of music lovers gave the musicians an ovation at the close of MARCH 29, 1937. the program which was made up of “request” numbers. The German Ambassador, Herr Hans Luther, was in the audience, and among others there were Mrs. ‘William Barrett Ridgely, Mrs. James Emlen Jones and her guest, Mrs. John Hanni of Youngstown, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Harold N.

A Mrs. Goodhue Livingston of New York was down for the week end, visiting at Friendship, and stood by her hostess to meet the guests. Every one was delighted to see Elizabeth Arden, who is in Washington just for a few days. The Nelson Perins were being welcomed home after their cruise around the Florida Keys; also Pen Turner, whose sunburn proves that he, too, has been in the sunny South.

In April Sonny and Sandy Forbes are returning to spend a few weeks here, much to the delight of their many friends. * x ok X AST week end seemed to be an artistic one we decided after dropping in on Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock late yesterday afternoon. A few friends were invited for tea, with a little Easter celebration, and to the strains of Easter hymns we admired the two new portraits of Mrs. Fahnestock and her niece, | Miss Dorothy Sollers, just completed by the young Norwegian artist, Bjorn | Egeli, who, due to his excellent portraiture, has been enjoying quite a vogue in Washington the past five years. Mr. Egeli’s portrait of Anne Daingerfield won the popular prize at the Corcoran exhibit several years ago. Having studied with his uncle, a well-known Norwegian sculptor, he later continued with Vanland prior to coming to America, where he has made a successful career for himself as a painter. Among the well-known persons who have been painted by Bjorn Egeli are the late Justice Fuller, whose portrait mow hangs in the grand hall of the mew Supreme Court Building. Among those present yesterday afternoon were: Col. and Mrs. Snowden Fahnestock, Admiral and Mrs. Strauss, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Taylor, Miss Elizabeth Roberts, Anthony de Balasy of the Hungarian Legation and Miss Alice Wilkins, who poured tea. Mr. Egeli, who is quite young and possesses a pleasing sense of humor, is planning an ezhibition at Newport this Summer.
