NA. 4711 Redingte Costume Important Youthful Mode By the Way— Beth Blaine OBILE BENEDETTO CAPOMAZZA DEI MARCHESI DI CAM- N POLATTARO, secretary of the Italian Embassy, has just re- turned from a wonderful six-week vacation, during which he spent most of his time in Mexico, at Mexico City proper, as guest of Marrucca and Gerard Walravens. Mr. Walravens, for- mer secretary of the Belgian Embassy, left late last Spring to act as Charge d’Affaires to Mexico. However, before the end of the month we shall have the pleasure of welcoming the Walravens back in Washington, after almost a year’s absence, for Gerard will be attached to the embassy staff again, which is news for all their friends. After basking in the sunny climes of Old Mezico, Benedetto headed for Havana and spent several glorious weeks doing the town, which means nights spent dancing at Sans Soucci or the Country Club; afternoons at the races and, of course, odd mo- ments at the roulette wheel. After several weeks of “rien ne va plus,” Benedetto agreed, and took a short cruise to Bermuda. The reception committee on hand to greet the returning “prodigal” was numerous, including the Prince del Drago, ?L;ho ilLas been living in Ben’s house, and is for the present omeless. The renowned Mousba, an Ethiopian family heirloom, who has been with the Marchesi di Campolattaro for a decade, was wreathed in smiles and crowned with a turban. Mousba greeted his master, who considers him a pearl of price, although this dusky servant's frequent honest intentions of wedding some noble woman often causes him concern. “For,” says his master, “a diplomat with one dusky servant is rare enough, but a family of 10 or more might cause diplomatic complications.” * Xk ok x TALK of cherry blossoms is in order now, and even if you get a touch tired of it, it still remains that the cherry trees of Wash- ington are something for which we may well be proud and a trip to the Tidal Basin is worth your while. . Quite apart from the regular Cherry Blossom Festival, little Sakiko and Masako Saito, daughters of the Japanese Ambassador and Mme. Saito, are being honored at a party, given entirely for them and young boys and girls of their age. This party will take place on the south lawn of the Wardman Par’lc I?otel tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, with the hotel as host. Mild and clear weather is expectec and the lawn is being trans- formed into a colorful Japanese scene for the festival. However, in case the weather is unfavorable, all the decorations, which in- clude a pagoda, have been so constructed that they can be moved within the building in a very short time. The guests will be enter- tained with Japanese dances and folk tunes of the land of cherry trees—and, quite naturally, there will be ice cream and goodies! * ok ok % ROPPING in at the Pall Mall room at the Raleigh the other ; evening with the Bob Joyces and Si Whitney, who was in town just for the week end, we discovered that another one of Wash- ington’s own “girls” has gone in for successful night club singing, like Evie Wadsworth Symington and Sonny Robbins Forbes. There she was, none other than the former Sally Finney, now Mrs. Paul Evans. Sally, needless to say, has many friends in her home city and added to the list are the Joyces, whom she knew in Panama when her late husband, Lieut. Col. Evans, was attached to the staff of the commander general of the Panama Canal Department at Balboa. Just a year ago Paul Evans died very suddenly in Panama, leaving a lovely widow and two little children. Sally was delighted to hear that Marjorie Wright Key is coming to town from Ottawa to visit her family, Maj. Gen. and Mrs. William Mason Wright, next week, for she knew David and Marjorie Key in London some years ago when her husband was assistant military attache in the American Embassy there. It is hoped that Marjorie Key will “stick around” for a couple of weeks.
