SOCIETY. By the Way— Beth Blaine THE United States Minister to Norway entertained! But to us she remains just Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, who gave a most de- lightful dance in her really lovely house on Foxhall road last night. And what a sweet house it is! Filled with the most beautiful fur- niture, paintings, silver and books—a perfect home in every sense of the word. ? 2 Mrs. Harriman, looking particularly handsome last night in a pinkish beige satin dress and about her shoulders a sable xcar]l,7 was delighted with the huge white orchids tipped with red which her daughter, Ethel Borden, sent to her. _Ethel, incidentally, arrives tomorrow to spend several days with her mother prior to her departure for foreign shores, which she will make come June 2, accompanied by Jacky Story. Mrs. George Mairs, Mrs. Harriman's sister, is here en visit and has decided not to go to Norway at the moment, but to wait until her sister has become settled before descending upon her for a visit in the Legation. The terrace was a favorite spot last night in spite of the chill in the air, for it commands the most entrancing view of the city, and comfortable chairs were placed all about for one’s comfort. On the logia the champagne was served and just inside in the dining room a buffet presented a most tempting display of food. A very newly completed portrait of our hostess caused much comment, as por- traits always do. Personally, we thought it excellent, but then there are the usual remarks muttered while standing with one eye shut and a hand raised in professional fashion before the face, “no, it’s the eyes,” while the next person says that the eyes are perfect and the mouth is “all wrong.” A fire burned on the hearth at one end of the drawing room, while the orchestra was placed at the other end. The Argentine Ambassador and Mme. Espil were present and from the diplomatic corps also we encountered the Italian Ambassador and Donna Matilde de Suvich, as always, gay and charming. Philip Broad- mead and Philip Broad of the British Embassy staff seemed to en- joy dancing about in the beautiful boiserie room lined with books and lighted by candles in crystal sconces on either side of the two fireplaces. The dining room is a dream with its very old faneling *brought over from England, complete with a beautiful mantel. One could go on and on describing the objets d’art with which the house is filled, but it has been done betore and is too well known about these here parts to repeat. Count and Countess Roberti arrived, accompanied by their sister-in-law, Mrs. Ogden Hammond, and Countess Roberti’s half- brother, Mr. Howland, who are visiting here. Mrs, Emory Sands was her usual gay self and is very much thrilled with her Summer glans, which have just materialized, namely, that she and the Bob oyces have taken the Bill Donovan house in Georgetown. Mrs. Joseph Leiter and son Tommy were present, also Mrs. Eldridge Jordan, Mrs. Wallach Merriam, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Reed, Baron Schell, Representative and Mrs. Robert Low Bacon and their two daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock and many, many more, ;who all agreed that Mrs. Harriman gave a very fine small dance ast night. THE naval attache of the Italian Embassy and the Marchesa di Sant’Orsola entertained at a reception in the Pan-American room of the Mayflower Hotel yesterday afternoon. Our lovely, dark-haired Marchesa, who is from Naples, wore a fitted beret and a gay floral-striped print dress. Over 300 guests were present from naval, diplomatic and residential society. Innumera- tion of those present would be impossible, as the hosts are one of the most popular diplomatic couples in town. As a result every one was there! An amausing tncident occurred when three chic women met in the center of the room to discover that each wore a costume like that of the other. These ensembles were out- standingly smart golden crepe redingotes over black dresses, with patent leather belts. Each of the three ladies in question wore silver foxes and small black hats. Upon comparing notes, this smart trio—Mrs. McKenney Mallan, Mrs. Alezander Cushing Read and Mrs. W. H. P. Blandy—found that they had bought their costumes one in Washington, one in Florida and the other in Boston. The center of a small group was the Counselor of the Czecho- slovakian Legation, Dr. Josef Nemecek, who returned two days ago from an extensive two-month vacation. Nemecek, known to his intimates as emo,” brought us news of the former Minister, M. Ferdinand Veverka, who left Washington a year ago, appointed to Vienna and the League of Nations. He has just been appointed to Bucharest. This will be welcome news in Bucharest, as immediately after the World War the Minister was the first Czechoslovakian representative to Rumania, and he and Mme. Veverka were un- usually popular. AND, BY THE WAY, who was the popular young diplomat around town announced in clarionlike tones by the liveried vocal artist at the Cuban Embassy as—Nl\ér. and Mrs. Crosby Miller? Al BY THE WAY, the postman brought this morning undoubtedly the most original and attractive invitation received this Spring. A 6 by 7 card depicts a lovely farm scene, with chickens, a cow, ducks, a horse, flowers and trees, and it came from Mr. and Mrs. Jouett Shouse, cordially inviting us to Wolf Trap Farm for supper at 8:30 Wednesday, June 9, with dancing, in informal dress.
