C., FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1937, Herb Luncheon of All Hallows Guild Creates Interest . Chef Robert Vwien tells Mrs. George Angus Garrett and Mrs. Raymond Wolven the herbs used in the pot at the luncheon yesterday at the Mayflower were raised in the herb garden conducted by the All Hallows’ Guild. —Star Staff Photos. Luncheon Benefits Guild Members of All Hallow’s Guild Enter- tain at the Mayflower. BY PHYLLIS THOMPSON. HROUGH the ages poets have been known to wax eloquent over food and rare wines and yesterday some fifty women here in Washington had a lesson in the romance of herbs. For some it was the first lesson, while a few have been versed in the subject for years. The 10 members of the Garden Com- mittee of All Hallow's Guild of the ‘Washington Cathedral gave a luncheon in the Chinese room of the Mayflower for a number of their friends. The luncheon was unusual and delightfu) and food was the main topic of con- versation and no wonder, for what a meal was set before us—fit for a queen in every way! The centerpiece of each of the 10 tables consisted entirely of little pots of growing herbs, chervil, dill, fennel, pennyroyal and many more, all labeled distinctly and incidentally providing a cheery fresh green deco- ration. At a table on one side of the room pots of herbs, jars of pot- pourris and honey and books pertain- ing to the use and history of herbs were on sale while at the opposite side of the room Chef Robert Vivien as- sisted by Fred of the Mayflower, pre- sided over the buffet. The money collected from the sale of all wares in the Cottage Herb Gar- den, located in the Bishop's Garden of the Cathedral, goes toward the devel- opment and beautification of St. Al- ban’s Close and the Bishop’s Memorial Garden, which it seems amounts to some 64 acres. If perchance there is any one you know who has never visited this lovely spot we suggest that you see to it that they make a trip there right now, for it is particularly lovely this Spring. Yesterday's meal was something to dream about! We learned that Basil in fresh garden peas does something to them that makes the mouth water with the memory, that Sweet Wood- ruff in a strawberry and Waldmeister | Moselle cup transforms it into verita- ble nectar fit for the gods, and—but we almost forget that this is not a food or woman’s page, so you will have to wait until next Tuesday, when Betsy Caswell will let you in on some of the fine points of how to use Mar- joram in clam soup and Chervil in salad to make the meal you serve at your next dinner party the envy of all your friends. The luncheon yesterday was en- tirely by invitation, but there is just a chance that next season the world in general may be able to pay their way into a similar affair for the benefit of the guild. Mrs. John Henry Gibbons, presi- dent of the guild, had as her guests Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, Mrs. Marshall Langhorne, Miss Anita Phipps, Mrs. John Caswell, Mrs. Adolphus Andrews, Mrs. George Angus Garrett and Mrs. Alexander B. Legare. The chair- pman of the Garden Committee, Mrs. Daniel W. Knowlton, and Mrs. Henry Monroe Campbell entertained Mrs. Corrin Strong, Mrs. C. E. Acker, Mrs. E. G. Rodgers and Mrs. Ernest Draper, while Mrs. Walter Tucker- man, head of the Entertainment Com- mittee, had as her guests Princess Burhanedden, Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes and her sis- ter, Miss Anna V. Mitchell. Mrs. Raymond L. Wolven, daugh- ter of Bishop Freeman, and Mrs. Al- bert H. Lucas had a table together, at which sat Miss Phyllis Snyder, Mrs. Cluett and Mrs. Lloyd Ship- pen. Other hostesses included Mrs. Charles Warren, Mrs. Henry Leonard, Mrs. Vylla Poe Wilson, Miss Elisabeth Poe and Mrs. McCook Knox. Addi- tional guests were Mrs. Warren R. Austin, Mrs. Stanley Reed, Mrs. Breckinridge Long, Mrs. Sherman Miles, Mrs. Edward Bruce, Mrs. Wil- |liam Flather, jr.; Mrs. J. Pred Es- | sary, Mrs. Phillip Dodge, Mrs. Sher~ man Flint, Mrs. John Shield, Mrs. William Morton Grinell, Mrs. Gerald O’'Grady, Miss Roberta Grant, Miss, Elizabeth B. Canaday, Mrs. William Leahy and Mrs. H. Blakiston Wilkins. --and Nisley is meeting the demand with sport, daytime and evening stylesin greater variety than ever before-- plus the fine fitting and high quality for which Nisleys have always been noted.
