In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. ON. R. WALTON MOORE, the Assistant Secretary of State, and his sisters, the Misses Moore, entertained between five and seven hundred people with a delightful lawn fete at their lovely place at Fairfax yesterday afternoon. Many guests from Warrenton, Middle- burg, Culpeper and Upperville motored to the party and rubbed elbows all afternoon with diplomats and high officials from Washington. Those who attended were struck with the beauty of the large, white, rambling old home. We were greeted by Miss Jennie Moore, who received the guests beside one of the huge pillars of the front porch. Then into the house of many rooms one wandered and found | Miss Margaret Moore, who sent you on out to the wide veranda. Here the beauty of the scene was breath- | taking and you lingered a moment to take it in before going down the steps to speak to Mr. Moore, who stood on the lawn. The spacious green lawns sloping away from the house were inclosed by high arbor vitae hedges and droop- ing white syringa bushes, pink dog- wood trees and graceful elms. Borders and beds of tulips, iris and all kinds of Spring flowers were blooming in profusion. It was a brilliant, sun- shiny afternoon and the guests wore gaily-colored Spring costumes. Eight or 10 young girls in long, crisp organdy dresses of different colors strolled among the guests, serving refresh- ments and seeing to their every need. Long tables were placed down in the garden from which punch and ices were served. Old family servants served salads and beaten biscuits. You wondered where the food for so many was coming from, but Miss Helen Moore was seeing that there ‘Wwas no end to it. Down in the far corner of the lawn was the most luxurious mint bed, and I saw a lovely Constitution oak up in one corner that had been | planted by Mr. Moore. Do you know what a Constitution oak is? After the Virginia Convention, which was held in Richmond in 1902, each mem- ber was sent a sapling oak by the Agricultural Department to plant on | their places. Mr. Moore has taken special care of his tree and it is said to be the finest specimen of a Constitution oak in Virginia. E WANDERED around this lovely place all afternoon enjoying everything, especially the true hos- pitality of the Moores. Members of the diplomatic set, who motored out from Washington, included Sir Ronald and Lady Lindsay of Great Britain, the French Ambasador and Mme. Bonnet, the Spanish ‘Ambassador, Senor Dr. Don Fernando de los Rios; Senora Given ‘and their daughter, Senorita Laura de los Rios; the Turkish Am- basador, Mr. Mehmet Munir Ertegun, and Mms. Ertegun; the Soviet Ambas- sador and Mme. Troyanovsky, the Austrian Minister and Mme. Prochnik. There were attaches of various em- | bassies and legations and high officials of the Department of State, including Assistant Secretary of State Carr and Mrs. Carr and Mr. Flournoy. From the congressional set came Senator and | Mrs. McAdoo and Senator Wheeler. Others seen were Judge and Mrs. McReynolds, Maj. Gen. Malin Craig, | chief of staff; Admiral and Mrs. Leahy, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and | Mrs. Wallace, Secretary of Commerce | Roper and Mrs. Roper, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Johnson and Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Helm, social secre- tary from the White House; Col. the White House; Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Representative from Mas- sachusetts; Representative Steagall of Alabama, chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, and Representative Doughton of North Carolina.

Meredith, wife of the late | Secretary Meredith of the Wilson cab- | inet; Mrs. Bernard B. Jones and Miss | Bertha Bolling.
