Today and tomorrow Decatur House, built in 1819, will be shown from 11:30 until 6:30 o’clock for the benefit of the Naval Historical Foundation. This is a fitting combination as old Stephen Decatur, first occupant of the house, was a commodore of the United States Navy in its early days. The quaint old house on Jackson pla 1t short thoroughfare on the west side of Lafayette Squar eems to have an aura of historical interest which the visitor today or tomorrow will find inside as well with many keepsakes of past generations. In the days when Decatur House was first built on the Presi- dent’s Square, now known as Lafayette, the Navy was virtually ruled by a triumvirate of Navy commissioners, Commodores Deca- tur, Porter and Rodgers. Commodore Rodgers was the first of four Johns in succession in his line, the last one, Comdr. John Rodgers being that intrepid flyer who was lost for days while making a flight from the Pacific Coast to the Hawaiian nds before be: picked up by a submarine. The third of this triumvirate Commodore David Porter, whose descendent is the popular Brig. Gen. David Dixon Porter, U. S. M. C., whose daughter, Carlile Porter was one of the most popular debutantes last season Mrs. Truxton Beale lives in Decatur House now and those who have been fortunate enough to have dined with her know the charm of the house. Then tomorrow, Dumbarton Oaks, the famous Georgetown estate of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss will be opened to public for the benefit of the Home for Incurables. Mrs. Charlotte Evans Hopkins was for many years president of that wort which is doing wonderful work. The present president i Campbell Wallace. The gardens of Dumbarton Oaks cover some 60 acres and are in full bloom and it is hard to find a more glorious spot in all of Washington. Hugh * ok x o HE Viscount J. Henri de Sibour is again in the throes of or; ing the three Spring dinner dances at the 1925 F Street Club. The dates already announced for May 7, 21 and June 4 are definite provided the subscription list reaches the 125 mark by May 1. this does not happen the committee reserves the privile celling the dinner dances, which would indeed be a pointment to the club members who look back on 1. parties with so much pleasure. One’s subscription entitles one to a buffet dinner served at 9 o'clock and supper will be served throughout the evening u til 2 o'clock and that incidentally, is one hour later than Tables will be grouped around the dance platform which wil erected in the garden and there will be more tables all through the garden. Here’s hoping that Secretary de Sibour will hear from people, for it would be a very sad state of affairs if we had to announce that the dances have been given up.
