BY THE WAY— (Continued From Third Page.) will know as many of the important personages as Miss Mary and Miss Helen Patten—their home here has always been the mecca for every important visitor. It was difficult not to hop on the boat and accept that won- a_?éful invitation—and we are feeling decidedly mournful about it ay. * X ¥ X VIRS. GEORGE T. MARYE and Mrs. Sydney Cloman will . leave for California on their annual pilgrimage around the end of the month. These two seasoned travelers, with a group of friends, are threatening to take the trip around the world in January, which sounds simply alluring.. Helen Thomas, Mrs. Marye’s daughter, is giving them a large fare- well party before they depart. * % k X TWO interesting visitors in Washington are Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Knight of Burlingame, Calif. Mr. Knight is the California rep- resentative of the American Red Cross and is here for their meet- ings. Many things may keep them in the East for the next few months, we hear. They are rather thinking of chartering a yacht and taking a group of congenial friends for a long cruise. It sounds too entrancing for words—and, no doubt, “the line forms on the right” for the friends who would like to go along! * Xk X ¥ ELIZABETH SIBLEY, attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harper Sibley, has issued invitations to a “Beer Party” this Friday evening at their house, at 2412 Massachusetts avenue. The party is called for 9:30 o’clock and there will be dancing. The invitation looks very gay and informal and inscribed thereon is a little beer mug drawn by—we think—the hostess! e * X WHEN the Normandie sails from New York on Tuesday she will have on board, vacation-bound for Europe, the secretary of the Yugoslav Legation and Mme. Perazic; the third secretary of the French Embassy and Mme. Saint, who entertained at a fare- well cocktail party yesterday. Another popular couple aboard, who, alas, sail for good, will be the retiring naval attache of the French Embassy and Mme. Sable, who have made many friends here during their three years’ duty. On Thursday afternoon the Sables will give a cocktail party, introducing Comdr. Benech, the new naval attache, who has come ahead of Mme. Benech, who plans to join him with their children early in the Fall. The Perazics have closed their lovely house in George- town for two months, during which time they plan to visit London and Paris and rent a villa in Cannes for the early season. At their last famous party, which was an Argentine barbecue, Mme. Perazic, who formerly was Mrs. Vincent Hub- bell of New York City, wore an exquisite cloth-of-gold gown Jrom Paris, which, due to the following anecdote, we found most apropos. Polish born, Countess Iraida Skarbek, Mme. Perazic, is a direct descendant of the Polish hero, Count Yan de Gora, who was sent as Polish Ambassador to the court of Henri “the Proud,” Duke of Saxony and Baveria, in the twelfth century, and who was fabulously | rich. Having designs on the Poles, the duke attempted to intimi- | date the count by taking him to his treasury and showing him his piles of gold. “This,” said the duke, “will destroy the Poles . . .” The Polish Ambassador took off his precious signet ring, threw it onto the heap of gold and proudly replied: “Aurum-auro” (mean- ing, “gold-to-gold.”). Embarrassed by this heroic gesture, the | duke could only thank the generous Polish Ambassador, saying to him in German: “Habe dank.” No longer seeking to intimidate | the Poles, he concluded peace with Poland. To commemorate this event, the Polish King, Boleslaw Krzywousty, gave to the count the name of Skarbek (from “skarb,” meaning treasure) and to his coat of arms, added “Habdank” or “Abdank” and “Aurum-auro.” and are stopping at the Dodge while Residential Hiere: Mrs. E.
