We started at noon for Belmont, the beautiful estate of the Patrick Hurley’s near Leesburg, and the sun was a real Midsummer one, the first this season. When we arrived at Belmont we found the great rooms and terraces crowded with an interesting group. They were sitting at small tables in the many rooms or under the trees picnic style. Everywhere one looked there were celebrities of the day. The luncheon was delicious and their mint juleps are famous. The red brick house with a fine portico commands a superb view of the entire valley. Below us near the entrance gates was the ring for the horse show, which we were to attend after luncheon. Ruth Hurley, who is really beautiful, wore a most becoming blue linen sport dress. She was hatless and her lovely prematurely white hair was in soft curls. “Patsy,” the 17-year-old daughter, is following close in her mother’s footsteps as a beauty. It was a day for amateur photographers—and all sorts of groups were herded together for the would-be photog- raphers to get a “shot”—one group in the garden included the Danish Minister, Senator Joe Robinson, Senator Arthur Vandenburg and the Irish Free State Minister. Miss Mabel Boardman was there also, Mrs. Dolly Gann with her very pretty niece, Miss Curtis, who is visiting her; Representa=- tive Rogers from Massachusetts; Mrs. Frank Letts, the Leander McCormack-Goodharts, Janet looking so pretty and well; Capt. and Mrs. John Gibbons, Col. and Mrs. Harry Cootes, the colonel looking splendidly after his recent illness, and the Bill McCrackens. We sat in the garden chatting with Ralph Hill and Nina Auchincloss, Mr. Crosby and Celeste Crosby Miller and several other friends planning to start for the horse show in a few mo- ments, where most of the other guests had gone—when suddenly the weather decided to go very temperamental—such a storm! We motored in it all the way back to town. But it was a very pleasant luncheon and we loved the few hours spent with the Patrick Hurley’s, who are most delightful hosts. * X® X ¥ RS.

It was a very gay and happy afiair. Young and old were present mingling in the attractive downstairs trophy room, the fascinating little bar and in the garden. Every one stayed late for it was the type of party where you could really sit down and have a talk. * Kk ok % N SPITE of the terrific downpours Saturday afternoon and eve=- | ni}mz,j Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Laughlin's guests had the pleasure of enjoying the lovely garden of Meridian House. After dinner was over, which originally was to be served outdoors, the great French windows were thrown open and the tables set up where the guests sat between dances. What an attractive garden that is, with the many linden trees clipped like the ones in Paris gardens giving such a neat affect. The Laughlin house is one of the most perfect French houses here and the garden is carried out in the same fashion. Within, a German orchestra played many waltzes and polkas, and we discovered that the two Polish gentlemen present are masters of the polka, namely, Michal Budny of the Embassy staff and Edward Weintal, @ former member of the staff.
