Carol and Arthur White had asked about 30 friends and when we arrived we found in the “bar” of their lovely old house Pen Turner, Miss Charlotte Noland, the Tod Sioanes and Martha Blair, all admiring the Jones’ terriers, of whick the Arthur Whites are one of the three owners in the United States, and they are the fond possessors of nine new puppies. They are the most adorable dogs. We suggested we would love one of the puppies, but found they cost a small fortune! The most delicious buffet luncheon was served, during which the rest of the guests continued to arrive. After luncheon, though the rain was pouring down, we motored over to the races—and luckily just as we arrived the rain stopped leaving the most lovely soft mist over the hills. The races were excellent. We saw the George Garretts, who had in their box the Wyndham Torr’s, the Dwight Davises and the Abel Smiths. George Garrett, Wypdham Torr and Arthur White each had horses run- ning, so the excitement was intense. We visited from box to box and saw many friends, including the Amory Carharts, sunburned from their Winter in Nassau; the Jack Hinckleys, the Kenneth Gilpins. It was a lovely day and as we started home the rain commenced again so we were very lucky in weather if not in ou betting. We arrived home in time to dress and dash off agair this timne to the elaborate and interesting dinner giver. by th« popular bachelor Naval Attache of the German Embas Rear Admiral Witthoeft-Emden. Among the 70 guests, mos of them from our own Army and Navy, and Attaches of the different embassies, we saw cheerful Capt. Mark Wardlau He had just received a royal command from his majestn King George to attend the first royal court, at which Eve Mark Wardlow is to be presented. * o ox % ROM the dinner we went on to Maj. and Mrs. Frank Heywood's delightful]s informal evening. Their parties are such fun. We heard voices singing heartily, and when we entered the drawing room we found friends sitting about on the floor. clustered around the piano and singing to their hearts content all the old songs, “Annie Laurie,” “Old Black Joe" and all the favorites that one warbles lustily each morning in one's bath! Mrs. Stoddard and Frank Heywood led the singing, but every one joined in, as copies of the words were given to each guest as they entered We saw the Counselor of the British Embassy and Mrs. Mallet, the new fiancial counselor of the British Embassy, Mr. Trentham, who is most ate tractive; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Schlatter of the Swiss Legation, Mr. and Mrs. John Simmons of our State Department, Miss Olivia Stokes, the Counselor of the Polish Embassy and Mme. Wankowicz and many others * o % % M ME.

Sayoa’s honor following American Union. Titianed haired, of medium height. Mme. Sayao combines chic with talent. Her flowered gown, severe in line, with a large diamond brooch and a small diamond tiara, were in excellent taste. A shoulder corsage of orchids and a charming smile, not to for golden voice, all combined make a delightful personality. Unfortunately Mme. do Prado is at present in Brazil However, Mme. Freitas, whose husband is second secretary of the embassy assisted Mme. do Prado. After supper was served several reporters were allowed to interview the guest of homor and she posed willingly for pictures.
