BY THE WAY— (Continued From Third Page.) box wore a headgear which consisted of a band of black moire ribbon with a huge bow in the front and a face veil of black net and no crown of any kind! Just in front of us the Arthur Whites were ensconced in their box, accompanied by Mrs. White’s daughter Bettina Belmont in a naturzal linen sport dress and no hat, while Mrs. White wore a blue- figured crepe dress and a bandeau in her hair of the same material. It was nice to see Mrs. William Langley walking about without aid of a stick, which was her constant companion for so long after her bad accident this Winter. Lovely Mrs. Bill Streett, a vision in dark blue with a tiny hat of the same color sporting a bunch of flowers on the front, was very much in evidence while her husband hobbled about supporting himself with two crutches. Why, we couldn’t say, but the grass around the Turf and Field Club always appears greener and more luzuiant than any turf on Lbng Island, and the trees more beautiful. There is a neatness and freshness about the grounds which is a joy to the eye and it would be hard to find a lovelier spot to lunch or partake cf a cup of tea after the races. Monday’s crowd was a colorful one and the hot day brought forth light- colored clothes with flowered prints and chiffons the favor- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1937.

For this program Miss Chace has | chosen several colorful production | numbers, using the entire group of 12 | Washington dancers who have been seen this season in a number of In- teresting programs given for the D. A. R. in Alexandria, the Chevy Chase ‘Women’s Club here and the Washing- ton Civic Theater. the accompanist for Miss Chace’s pro- gram next week, has composed a new musical number which the group will dance for the first time at this con- cert, with the title “American Hori- zons.” Miss Chace will also be seen in two new numbers, dancing with Mr. James Kelley as partner. Party to Benefit Alexandria Hospital A garden party for the benefit of the Alexandria Hospital, sponsored by the Women’s Auxiliary, will be given Saturday afternoon from 4 to 7 o'clack in the garden of Mrs. Bernice Flem- ing Holland, at 415 Wolfe street, Alex- andria, Va.

A few misguided souls wore fur pieces, which they must have wanted to throw away as Midsummer weather hit Long Island and New York that day just as hard as it hit the Dis- trict of Columbia and environs. William Hitt was tearing around busily between races, stopping here and there to chat with friends from Virginia and points north. Charlie Gaines appeared with s. Charlie Merrill of South- ampton, who was looking her usual attractive petite self and sur- rounded by admirers, including Stewart McDonald, whose box was | close by. Fresh as a daisy ana soigne to the nth degree we saw Mrs. J. Denniston Lyon and her husiand, and looking exactly like & fashion plate, Mrs. Byron C. Foy hove in sight with her husband | and several chic friends. Robert Stevens, formerly of N. R. A. note in Washington, is a great h > racing enthustast, so our day would not have been complete if we had not bumped into him. George “Tod” Sloane and M Sloane were on hand, too, and from the number of pairs of field glasses hanging on Tod’s arm one might have thought that he had gone into the business of selling these rare objects! Attractive Mrs. De Witt Sage stopped by and passed the time of day with us and to right and left we encountered members of the Phipps and Whitney Jamilies and the Raymond Guests, so well known in and about Virginia hunt circles and Washington. Mrs. Ogden Mills, another person always present at Belmont, ran true to form and was among those present Monday. The Thomas Laughlins were in the box with Mrs. Charlie Payson and her brother, Jock Whitney, was in evidence, too. Northam Grigegs, better known as Nonie, was beaming with joy, having recently become a father once more. His wife, the lovely Margaret Trow- bridge, is in the Doctors’ Hospital in New York. The Griggs’ future lans are a bit up in the air at the moment. Mr. Dwight Davis was in the throng, but we did not see Mrs. Davis, to our disappoint- ment. “Spotty” White we spied with Mrs. Jim Forrestal—and good- ness knows how many more—we could on and on enumerating the persons whom we greeted that day, but we must not neglect to mention the Harold Talbotts, for Mrs. T. if possible to believe, is looking lovelier than ever. All in all. Belmont was gay and festive and a good time was had by all. To say that the world and his wife were there merely puts it mildly! Thomas Hyde, 4th. Mr. Lyman McCrary, who will be Mrs. Albert Stabler, jr, chairman of the Junior Auxiliary of the hos- pital, is organizing the members of her committee, who will sell soft drinks and cigarettes at the benefit. Additional members of Mrs. O'Con- nor’s committee are Mrs. John Remon, Mrs. Charles McGuire, Mrs. Thomas Brahany, Mrs. Charles Moran, Mrs. Alfred Whitton, Mrs. Arthur Mullen, Mrs. George De Bowler, Mrs. Camden McAtee, Mrs. Rossa Downing, Mrs. W. Bradshaw, Mrs. Aubrey L. Clark, Miss Hannon, Mrs. George Luers, Mrs. J. A. Lee, Mrs. O'Donoghue, Mrs. D. C. Shea, Mrs. James Salkeld, Mrs. William | Shannon, Mrs. Harold Sinton and Mrs. David Dunigan. Many are planning to remain after the matches to have dinner in Brooke Johns’ Barn.
