They will spend Friday night at Morgantown, W. Va., and the members of the class will have luncheon Sunday with Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House. the evening. Two colors predominated, namely, gray and flesh pink! Natalie Campbell Prichett and Mrs. Sidney Legare wore diaphanous gowns of misty gray, as did Willa Magee, while Mary Lou Marsh, Fraulien von Schnitzler, Frau Scholtz’ sister, and Olivia Stokes chose flesh color chiffon. We are indebted to Benedetto Capomazza, secretary of the Embassy, for the “Taverna” and the gayly decorated “Ship Bar” which made the fiesta a mever-to-be-forgotten event. After the heights of Ben’s artistic achievements, which, until the other night, seemed akin to the modest violet “born to blush unseen,” we are anticipating what other tricks he may have up his sleeve. In the converted chancery, off the patio, we gathered to sample the wines of Southern Italy, while watching white clad chefs prepare plates of spaghetti reminiscent of the great Alfredo of Rome. In the flickering candle light, with three colorfully clad singers (im- ported from New York), who sang “Santa Lucia” and “Torno a Sorrento” enchantingly, we might have been sipping Frascati wine at that renowned Roman basilica “Ulpia” in the “Eternal City” proper.
