Yesterday we lunched and “tead” there, so we were quite content. Stewart McDonald of Federal Housing fame had a very small luncheon for some out-of-town friends. Among them were the brothers, Adolph Busch, 3d, and Gustave Busch of the famous old St. Louis family. “Gus” Busch told an amusing story apropos of the circus arriving here Sunday. Their father had a marvelous “zoo” of his own in St. Louis and among the numerous animals were two fine elephants that were practically family pets. They are now with a circus. The first time Mr. Busch, sr., attended the circus and his two pets entered the great tent with all their fine trap- pings, as they passed by his seat, he couldn't resist calling out, “Hello, Tiny!” “Hello, Trixie!” (if we remember their names cor- rectly) and the moment they heard their master’s voice, the parade came to an end! The two delighted elephants made a bee line for their old friend who had raised them, much to the terror of those sitting near who did not know it was a friendly stampede! Among others in the luncheon party were Mr. and Mrs. “Happy” Flannigan of New York. (Mrs. Flannigan was Amy Busch.) Happy should be the nickname for both of them, as they radiate happiness and could not be more attractive. Mr. Flannigan is a brother of Howard Flannigan, better known as “Pat,” who, not long ago, with the rank of com- mander, resigned from the Navy and is now working with the New York World’s Fair Association. In the afternoon we dropped in for tea with the second secre- tary at the Brazilian Embassy and Mme. de Sousa Freitas, who, like many others this past week, had arranged their sweet garden for cocktalls out of doors, but, alas, the weather was unkind. We had such a nice chat with Guido Aranha, the very good- looking young brother of H. E., the Brazilian Ambassador, who is in Washington for a visit. Zazi Aranha, the daughter of their excellencies, was present also and wore the most amusing hat far back on her head, a flaring brim banked by an enormous velvet bow. Needless to say, with her pretty, young face it was very becoming. Among others we saw were the Portuguese Minister and Mme. de Bianchi. From there we dashed on again to return to the 1925 F Street Club, where Mrs. Emory Sands was having a small tea in honor of Admiral and Mrs. Luke McNamee, who have been in Washington for the past few days. They will return again in several weeks. We met many old friends there, including Sir Willmott and Lady Lewis, Mrs. Dick Southgate, Mrs. James Curtis wearing a very becoming black costume; and Mrs. “Chip” Robert, who is leaving to= morrow for the Wilmington Horse Show, where she will “show” several of her horses. AND BY THE WAY, we are distressed to hear that Mrs. Walter Dilling- ham of Honolulu recently had a fall from her horse, which re- sulted in her breaking both her wrists. Her face was cut too, and 17 stitches had to be taken. We are all hoping that it will not dis- figure her in any way. What a lovely, vital, attractive person she is! * X ok X% EANDER McCORMICK-GOODHART is giving a stag dinner to= morrow evening to the “Old-Timers” of our State Department— those who have been in our diplomatic service at least 20 years.
