B4 SOCIETY. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1937. y the Way— Beth Blaine (Continued on Third Page.) from the rafters in every room, have so interested Mrs. Montgomery {hat she has begged the Minister to permit her to purchase them. One of M. Bilmanis collected paintings is indeed a curio—executed by an Italian, one Alegiani, who chose as his subject the notice board at his art school, So perfect in detall, with even the knots in the wood expertly done with what seems pieces of wax paper cov- ering illustrations of famous pictures and even postage stamps, it seems that each person who sees it attempts to raise up the glazed paper to look at the objects beneath. This, of course, is ridiculous, since it is all just painted in! We will not “pass the buck,” however, and frankly admit right here that we were taken in!! x K K % "I'HE Commercial Secretary of the British Embassy and Mrs. Frank Heywood gave another of their delightful informal ‘song feasts” last night. But what havoc the rain has done this past month to parties. We are not accustomed, as are dwellers in the tropics, to these sudden torrential downpours that leave our gardens a damp mess without the aid of a tropical sun to dry them out in a few moments! i The Heywoods had arranged everything to perfection in their small garden, Japanese lanterns were everywhere—com- fortable chairs and rugs and then suddenly the wild scramble to “beat the rain”—by dragging everything indoors again! However, we sat in comfort having missed all of this pre- song-feast excitement and every one sang all the old songs—— some of the guests had glorious voices, others “just voices” and for a few of us it was very simple—we had the same tune for everything! We found we were not so popular and as a matter of fact were finally relegated to the veranda where we could sing to our hearts’ content without putting our neighbors off key also! Mr. and Mrs. Nash, who have done such splendid work in or- ganizing choruses as a hobby, were present and the other guests in- cluded Kurt and Lannie Hetzel—Kurt playing us some Viennese waltzes—the Jack Simmons, who leave for their European post some time in January; the Samuel Smiths of Philadelphia; Repre- sentative Rogers who is so sweet and enters into the spirit of each party with enthusiasm; the Counselor of the German Embassy and Frau Thomsen; the Herbert Blankenhorns of the German Em- bassy: Louis Stoddard, Noel Trentham of the British Embassy, the Walter Whites and Nancy Mann in a most becoming gray dinner dress. All the guests had a grand time—“Singing in the Rain” one might say though we were safe and cozy in Frank and Rosalind’s comfortable house. These evenings are a great institution in the rather formal life of Washington, it is such fun to “‘express yourself” vocally at least!! * kK K ]F YOU were “listening in” on the radio Wednesday afternoon | you no doubt heard Winant Johnston mlking about the Consti- tution and the celebration he is helpin§ Sol Bl 150th anniversary. He didn't talk very long and came in at the latter part of the “broadcast,” but did you recognize the Irishman who talked in the early part of the broadcast? That, too, was Winie! He really should have had a career on the stage. Many of us remember Winant’s work with the little group of players which included F. Marion Law and the late Hugh Tennant when he was connected with the British Embassy staff. The group gave a series of performances at the Playhouse on N street during the period just after the war. The performances were for charity, of course, and Louisa Todd, now Mrs. S. Parker Gilbert, gave a finished performance in the title role of “The Clod.” Winant played opposite her and gave an equally good account of himself. Its been & wonder he didn’t go to Hollywood years ago. Also _in that little group was Mrs. Richard Porter Davidson, now of Pinehurst, and formerly of Washington. She was Betty Hanna in the days of these players and was one of the most active of the group which has, so far, not been succeeded by any similar group. What's the matter with us all, are we getting lazy, perhaps, in our old age? | two Summer favorites from a glorious array of new DRESSES 4.95 Take your summer fashions white or black . . . it's just a toss-up which is smarter!

Mr. Johns has donated the place and during the game soft drinks will be sold through the “gallery” while many who attend the game will re- main for dinner at the Old Barn, Miss Anne Duffy, daughter of Senator and Mrs. F. Ryan Duffy, and her class- mate, Miss Katharine Johansen, will be among the young girls who will sell cigarettes and soft drinks, for “sweet charity's sake.” Mrs. Kenna Elkins will be hostass to a party of guests at the game and among others actively working for the success of the benefit are Mrs. Walter Clarkeson, Mrs. Aubrey Lynn Clark, who will have a large number of guests; Judge and Mrs. O'Donoghue, Mrs. Joseph P.

An unusual dish that will be sérved is called “grizzly bear scramble.” It consists of goose eggs and minoced Italian salami cooked in bear grease. Mr. Holzworth tells an amusing anec- dote of having invented this dish when “stuck” with no other supplies in the sub-Arctic regions of Alberta, Canada. Miss Annabelle MacLeod will be the guest in whose honor Mrs. Louis B. Montford will entertain at tea on Sunday afternoon at her home, Oak- mont, 5121 Broad Branch road. Mr. and Mrs_ R.
