It was made with a square neckline and long sleeves, close fitting at the wrist. The full skirt ended in a short train and was trimmed around the bottom with a row of knife pleating. Her tulle veil fell to the end of her train and was trimmed around the face with a rare . plece of rose point lace, a family heirloom. Her only jewelry was a pair of pearl earrings that were pre- sented to her by her great-aunt and which had previously been worn by #ix generations of brides before they had been given to her. She carried a bride’s bouquet of lilies of the valley and gardenias. - A paatel color scheme was used for the dresses of the bride's two sisters, ‘who were her only attendants. Mrs. John R. Reed, the matron of honor, had a dress of corn flower blue chif- fon over taffeta made on princess lines, with a slightly rounded neck- fine. Its short puffed sleeves were trimmed with bands of ruching of the chiffon and the same trimming was used around the hemline of the skirt, which was edged with shell pink ribbon. She carried a tight Ilittle Colonial bouquet of sweetheart roses and forget-me-nots. Miss Jean de Lashmutt, the brides- maid, wore & dress of shell pink chif- fon made on the same lines as that of her sister and her skirt was edged with blue ribbon of the same shade a8 the matron of honor’s dress and her bouquet was of yellow and pink roses with blue forget-me-nots.

Perazic are well known for the originality of their par- ties and this one will be no exception. An Argentine barbecue has been pre- pared by experts in the lovely old garden. The decorations in the house are being kept secret, but from all re- ports they will be most original. To Be Entertained ‘The retiring Chinese Ambassador and Mme. Sze. will be honor guests at a dinner to be given by the Cornell Alumni Club of Washington Saturday, April 24, at the Carlton Hotel. Speakers at the dinner will be Dr. Jacob Schurman, former president of the university and Ambassador to Germany and China; Mr. Bancroft Gheradi, vice president of the A. T. & T.; Dr. Mary M. Crawford, trustee; Mr. C. Reeve Vanneman, president of the Cornell Alumni Corp., and others. Prof. Charles L. Durham By [hC \)\/ay—- Beth Blaine HE Danish Minister, Mr. Otto Wadsted, entertained at dinner last evening most delightfully in honor of Dr. H. C. Oersted, who is in Washington for the International Textile Con- ference. We missed Mme. Wadsted, who is still in Denmark, but will return soon. One of the many nice features of the Danish Legation is the large round dining room table. Usually in this age they are refectory tables or oblong, but very seldom round, which gives one an equally good view of each guest. The table was decorated with masses of jonquils and ferns and the dinner delicious, which just goes to show that a bachelor— even a temporary one—gets on very well without women managing the home! A rather discouraging thought! Among the guests was Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, who acted as “hostess.” Mrs. Harriman, or perhaps we should say Mme. Minister, for her appointment comes up next Saturday before the Senate for approval—we hear that Tony Biddle’s name as an Ambassador to Poland comes up for confirmation at the same time—looked very handsome in a midnight blue net dress em- broidered in brilliants. Senataor and Mrs. Peter Gerry were present and Mrs. Warren Austin. Senator Austin was attending a meeting, and Mrs. Austin said it was the first time she had been out to dinner without him. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bell Sweeney and Mrs. Eldridge Jordan, with Mme. van Kaathoven, wearing a most becoming purple gown, made an interesting group talking with Mr. Cai Caspersen, one of the great Danish manufacturers, who is in town for only a few days. Mme. Taren Caspersen, we hear, is very beautiful and the best-known actress in Denmark. Among others present were Miss Josephine Patten, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, the Norwegian Minister and Mr. and Mrs. Irgeno of the Norwegian Legation. We were so sorry to hear that Mme. Eickhoff, wife of the attractive Counselor of the Danish Legation, has just been operated on for mastoid, but she is recov- ering and will be out of the hospital soon. Mme. Eickhoff is a niece of Mr. Constantin Brun, the Honorary Counselor of the Legation. The conversation was most interesting throughout the evening—and we gleaned that there is a very good chance our senatorial friends will be with us most of the Summer! * oxox % 'HE Minister-Counselor of the Cuban Embassy and Senora de Baron entertained at a small tea yesterday in honor of H. E. the new Cuban Ambassador, Senor Dr. Pedro Martinez Fraga. The Ambassador is most attractive, young, good looking and intelligent and a bachelor! We predict great popularity for him in Wash= ington. Most of the guests were members of the Embassy staff, and we were impressed by the fact that all the Cuban wives spoke ezxcellent English, and in appearance might have been taken for Americans—and all the American wives who had married the Cuban diplomats looked rather Spanish and spoke that language fluently. * X X *x ESTERDAY afternoon we took the Mount Vernon highway at a perilous pace, not to visit the home of the “Father of Our Country,” but to stop off in Alexandria, to pay a visit to the young Carmalts. The occasign was a farewell party in honor of Alice Dodge, who leaves Monday with her mother for Geneva, planning to return next Winter. On South Fairfax street the Carmalt’s house, longer than it is broad, may be found. Upon entering, one is permitted a view of the garden from the rear drawing room window. More tastefully modern, than modernistic, square sofas and oblong pillows predominate, while large and decorative prints of zebras hang on the walls while love birds coo on the mantell Dorothy Cassard came in looking “too-too smart” with one of those page-rolled coiffeurs, after modeling in a fashion show at the Mayfiower. Still heavily made up, and with the strange headress, our distinguished Cassard looked as though she had stepped out of Vogue. Barbara Wright, in town from New York, sat with Manniz Walker while all the assembled guests made plans to go to Hugh Martin’s wedding today. Among those who will attend the wedding are Freddy Nichols, Olivia Stokes, Bill Moore and Jean Conrad. The unique ladder-like stairs were busy all afternoon as guests came and went. It was rumored that Lucy Carmalt’s knowledge of culinary art, was responsible for the attractive assortment of hors d'oeuvres. * o ox % R. AND MRS CLIFTON PHILLIPS entertained at the first of a series of cocktail parties, which they plan to give during the Spring season. The first, yesterday, was in honor of Olga Patterson, daughter of the former Cuban Ambasador, now sta= tioned in Mexico City. Olga, who is visiting with the Chilean Am- bassador’s daughter, the Misses Trucco, looked, as usual, very smart in black with a halo hat. Our hostess, in a floor-length gown of blue, moved among her many guests, while Cliff took care of the more masculine needs. Another young married couple were Mr. and Mrs. Phillips Clarke, wedded this year, now living in Hyattsville and immersed at the moment in house building. Stellita Stapleton poured tea, while Benjie Plunket assisted her with the thorough knowledge of an inveterate tea drinker! Deco- rated in soft green, the Phillips’ apartment resembles a doll’s house, the perfect home for a young couple, not to mention adorable little Claire aged 8 months. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Snodgrass were the center of a little group consisting of the latter’s sister, Evelyn Walker; Jim McDonnell and Frank Walpert. Senora de Najera, Mrs. Augustine Miss Stevens Feted. Miss Lydia Cabot Stevens of Boston, whio is visiting her brother and sister- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Cabot Stevens, Lonergan, Mrs. W. H. Dieterich, Mrs, John Holmes Overton, Mrs, Carl A, Hatch, Mrs. Paul H. Maloney, Mrs. R. Ewing Thomason and Miss Paulette was the guest in whose honor Comdr. and Mrs. Ralph Spalding entertained at dinner Thursday night at the Army and Navy Club. Yesterday Mrs. Arthur Wright entertained at luncheon in honor of the visitor. Mrs. Dennis Chavez To Receive Today Mrs. Dennis Chavez will be at home this afternoon from 4:30 to 6:30 | o'clock at the Congressional Club, and has invited guests to meet her daugh- ter, Mrs. Stanley Miller of Albu- querque, N.

Dr. Cobb is very interested in Mrs. Hall's work and thinks very highly of it. Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Wilber entertained at a small dinner at the Shoreham last evening for Commodore and Mrs. H. Morton Merriman of New York and Eastern Shore, Md. The guests included Col. and Mrs. Charles Hoyt March, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gauntlett and Mrs. Wilber’s father, Dr. Sidney Hunton of New Brunswick, Canada, who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Wilber. Mrs. Imogene M. Blood of the Wom- en’s City Club will sail April 22 for & tour of Europe and will attend the coronation in London and the exposi- tions in Paris. Mrs, Lloyd W.
