She is a debutante this year and will spend several months here with her sister and brother-in-law and “come out” in Washington. Herr von Schnitzler also is arriving from Germany with his daughter and will be met in New York this week end by the Scholzes, who will spend several days in the metropolis and return to Washington the end of next week, accompanied by the visitors, It is a disappointment that Frau Scholz’s mother is not coming, too, for we long to see her as she is a really great beauty, and from her photografihs, which we are told hardly do her justice, she looks more like Frau Scholz’s sister than her mother. Quite a family! Tuesday evening Herr and Frau Scholz will be “at home” at 8:30 o'clock at their house on Cleveland avenue in honor of the retiring second secretary of the embassy and Frau Struve, and the newcomer, Fraulein von Schnitzler. x x x K AN UNIQUE invitation worded in German with the date of the party encircled found us all headed for the Leonard Blocks, whose house guest, Willa Schmidt, entertained at a “kaffee klatch.” Though klatches in Germany mean just a few ciose friends seated around a table laden with a varied assortment of luscious “kuken” and tarts, the other day found us 30 in number, men as well as women—men scorn klatches in Germany. Our hostess that day had provided innumerable bridge tables and we discovered the wonder- | Tul cakes had been made by her from family recipes. During the afternoon the John Farr Simmons and John Lord of the State Department were among those who paid tribute to the hostess’ culinary accomplishments. Jean Conrad remarked, after partaking of her limit, “If this was an example of the richness of German cookies, no wonder Germany is the nation of such renowned pessimists as Shopenhauer and Kant!” Incidentally, the second of June will find Jean sailing for Europe, an extensive sched=- ule of three months, during which she plans to visit East Prussia and other off-the-general-route places, for in the language of a great actress, Jean “wants to be alone”! x % % % SAD but true, we find that a very popular couple are leaving us. | We mean Comdr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Kinkaid of the United States Navy, who are off the end of this week for California. We say au revoir to them, and hope they will be back in Washington in the not too distant future. ———— AND BY THE WAY, who was the well-known diplomatic hostess whose | dressing room door blew to and remained closed, necessitating a | visit from the Fire Department with yards and yards of step lad- | ders before she was extricated and dinner could be served? | Meadowbrook Show | | | Plans Under Way!
