SOCIETY TR e e T U G TR e R T T T ‘Virginia Reel Danced Last Night in East Room' of the White House Fourth Estate Party At the White House Voted Huge Success The President and Mrs. Roosevelt Enter- tained Some 1,200 Members of Newspaper Profession. BY MARGARET HART. € WING YOUR PARTNER, “sashay to the right,” and “ladies cross over,” called out Vice President John Nance Garner, in the east room of the White House. This official who really is not fond of social functions, was having the time of his life as he directed the dancing of the Virginia Reel, last night at the annual party of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt in honor of members of the Fourth Estate. Mrs. Roosevelt always has something “up her sleeve” to delight her guests and at the fete last night this popular country dance of days gone-by was her surprise. It has been many a year since the Virginia Reel has been danced in the President’s house. Last night, with Mrs. Roosevelt and the others in the lively square dance, all wearing costumes in keeping with the era of the dance, it was as though a scene during the early days of this country was being relifed. The guests liked it and we have seldom seen a host and hostess enjoy their own party as much as did the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. To the tunes of “Turkey in the Straw,” “Pop Goes the Weasel,” and the ever-inspiring “Dixie,” Mrs. Roosevelt and the other dancers went through the figures as though they had danced in this particular fashion every day in the week. For Mrs. Roosevelt's partner there was her brother, Mr. Hall Roosevelt, and dancing with them were the Sccretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, jr.; Mr. and Mrs. James Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs, J. Fred Essary, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Hayden, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lindley, Mrs. Malvina Scheider, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Clapper and Mr. Marvin McIntyre. So enthusiastic were many of the scribes that on the “side lines,” here and there, one saw groups trying out some of the figures of the quaint old dance. It seemed for a time that all in the east room were anxious to do a ‘recl” when Meyer Davis's Orchestra struck up more modern airs taking the center of the stage away from the fiddler who played for the square dance. Mrs. Roosevelt started the “dances of this generation” with her brother dancing on the raised platform at the north end of the east_room. In addition to the main hit of the evening. the “Virginia reel,” were the dances of Miss Roberta Jonay and the gypsy songs and selections given by Matt Windsor and his gypsy band. And the President’s favorite song, “Home on the Range,” came in for its share of popularity. When the orchestra played this number, many Jjoined in with Marvin McIntyre who was at the “Mike.” The White House was at its best last night and with the gardens and terrace thrown open the women and men who ‘“cover the news,” forgot all about “scoops” and deadlines and enjoyed them- selves to the utmost. Mrs. Roosevelt stood in the long red corridor just before the great marble columns to receive the long line of guests, more than | 1.200 to be exact. She was assisted by Mrs. John Nance Garner, wife of the Vice President, who wore a gown of white chiffon. ‘The President’s wife wore the quaint old costume in which she danced. It was fashioned of flowered dimity, with a tight bodice, a square neckline. and the skirt had flounces of lace. Her hair was arranged in a style in keeping with the period of her costume. After being greeted by Mrs. Roosevelt the guests were directed to the East room, where the President had a warm handclasp and | a cheery word for all. esi President Garner, who assisted him in receiving. Informality reigned at this annual party for the press, both in | | the clothes worn and in the conversation. Rival scribes were seen in small groups exchanging pleasantries and every type of suit was seen. Dinner jackets, white flannels and a few of the men who had to stay at their typewriters until almost the last minute before the party, had to appear in their “working clothes.” This is the delightful part of a party given by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. ‘They have every consideration for all whom they wish to enter- Standing at the President’s side was Vice | < v - Will Participate in Skeet Shoot Next Week Mrs. Albert Walker and Prince Eugene de Ligne, Counselor of the Belgian Em- bassy, shown discussing plans for the skeet shoot, which will take place at the National Capital Skeet Club in Maryland, nert Friday and Saturday. pictured in N _LIEUT.

Slices of cold ham with delicious fresh- cooked vegetable salad and dainty little buttered rolls were served from the long buffet table placed across the long State dining room in front of the fireplace. Spring blossoms were in low bowls and the mantel was banked with delicate fern. There also was ice cream and cake and the coffee was served in large cups instead of the usual demi-tasse. Following the custom at other parties, punch bowls and ice water were on the east terrace through the evening, and punch also was served on the south portico. In the large main corridor small tables with chairs were placed and here gay little groups partook of iced-cold beer served from huge kegs. Included in the list of guests were members of the National Press Club, the Gridiron Club, the Newspaper Women’s Club and the Women'’s National Press Club, and of course the White House Correspondents’ Association, and the member of Mrs. Roose- . velt's press conference, who are not members of either of the women writers’ clubs. Among others there were Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, with her son, Mr. Douglas Hall; Mrs. Lucille Benton McMillin, Civil Service Commissioner; the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Henry A. Wallace, former Representative Isabella Greenway, the Attorney General, Mr. Homer S. Cummings, the Secretary of War and Mrs. Harry H. Woodring. Many came from out of town for the party and the youngest guest of all was Mr. John Curley, who will graduate from junior high school next month. Young Mr. Curley came from his home in New York to escort his aunt, Miss Alice Eversman, music editor of The Star, to the party. There is ever so much more one could write about this party. How beautiful the roses are in the formal garden, how brightly the moon shone on the spreading trees and the velvety grass last night, but, most of all, may we say it was with regret that we left the President’s house last night. Many From Capital At Foster Memorial Mr. and Mrs. Luis Guzman and Mrs. Katharine Whittlesley Copley are among those from Washington who have gone to Pittsburgh for the dedi- cation of the Stephen Foster Memorial | at the University of Pittsburgh.

Simpson, Mrs. Richard Sutton, Mrs. John W. Taylor and Miss Bessie Christian, Carl Azel Wastefelt, the handsome Attache of the Legation, will not be so fortunate. Years of diplomatic experience have taught us veteran Summer residents that attaches, always spend the Summers in town! Carl Azxel will live with Ditlef Knudsen of the Norwegian Legation in Mr. and Mrs. Jorgen Galbe’s house on Garfield street, which has been generously intrusted to the care of these bachelors. The Galbe's left for Norway last week. Ditlef will spend a month or so, starting June tenth, in the Lake district around Chicago, returning just in time to encourage his friend in his first encounter with a real Washington Summer. News from Sweden of the Per Wijkmans; Mme. Wijkman, before her marriage to the Commercial Counselor of the Swedish Legation was Ruth Wallace, sister of the Secretary of Agriculture. They have been motoring all over Sweden and have taken a house outside of Stockholm for a month. They are expected back in Washington by the end of July. Incidentally, the two items of news which seem the most important are that, “baby Lilabet has two teeth,” and Ruth herself “can speak some Swedish,” both of which, we feel sure you will agree, are herculean accomplishments!! It seems that our Navy has literally taken over Stock- holm, or rather did, around May 10. when two of our ships the S. S. Vincennes and the S. S. Winslow, anchored before the “Venice of the North,” and were entertained feverishly by everyone at large. The former American Minister and Mrs. Lawrence Steinhart entertained at a large dance for the officers of the ship and Stockholm in general. The Steinharts were very popular in Sweden, and ure greatl missed, now they have been transferred to Peru. Rudolp Schoenfeld, who arrived at the American Legation sometime in January, after a four-year tour of duty at the State Depart- ment, gave a large cocktail party as did the Consul General and Mrs. Ives. Anchored almost parallel with the “King's Palace” the Vin- cennes and the Winslow entertained at a tea dance, prior to leaving for Helsingfors, Finland. We find the following remark made by one of our officers most descriptive: “After the wonderful way we have been treated in Sweden we only wish that we could anchor in the middle of the Baltic Sea and rest up for a week before The very thought of whose ideal climatic ! taking on the Fins!!” To Be Hostess Wednesday MRS.
