ERHAPS it is only a wild flight | of the imagination, however, it seems safe to say that the 1936-7 season in our Nation's Capital has been one of the gayest in many moons. Many truly outstanding balls and dances have been given and the gayety has continued right up to date with little or no let-up, even dur- ing the Lenten season. There are no two ways about it that parties in gardens are more fun than formal Midwinter affairs and Wash- ington has had its fill of this form of entertainment. If any one has a garden, the feeling is that they should “throw” a party there and fortunately many of the lucky garden owners have come across this Spring! Last night Representative and Mrs. Robert Low Bacon-of New York gave & most delightful informal small dance for their two daughters, Virginia and Martha. Since the Bacons’ residence, at 1801 F street, boasts a large, at- tractive garden, dinner was served out- side under the beautiful trees, and during the dance the guests wandered into the cool out-of-doors. Instead of the customary Japanese lanterns, Mrs. Bacon has at all times hanging throughout the garden little red Cape Cod lamps. An old stable, which is approached by way of the garden, has been done over recently, since Mrs. Bacon no longer keeps her horses here. The two box stalls have been tiled and are decorated in what Mrs. Bacon calls her racing colors—blue and green. A small bar was located in the stable last night. Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins, widow of former United States Minister to Canada, entertained at a dinner be- fore the dance and other hosts at| dinner were Mr. and Mrs. David Ed- Mrs. Higgins Chapin. | Mrs. Bacon, tall and distinguished and full of vivacity, wore last .night a chartreuse chiffon dress and her daughter Virginia chose an equally summery-looking flowered chiffon, while her sister Martha wore a sap- phire blue net frock. With the dance on Wednesday to be given by Mr. and Mrs. Jouett Shouse at their estate, Wolf Trap Farm, in Vienna, Va,, the knell will be tolled on the 1936-7 social sea- son in and near Washington. All this seems sad, but after all, in spite \ | ciame et yone most €0 | of trie bride's parents. The quaint little church had an effective | arrangement of palms and fern at each side of the altar, with white | | ping the light fantastic to the strains | | of Mrs. Robert Low of the lovely gardens with which Washington 'is blessed, it is not a Summer resort.

The thusiastic dancers in the city, spent much time on the dance floor trip- | Sidney's orchestra, while the | hostess was found the better part of the evening chatting with her guests in the garden where Italian singers wandered about between the tables. Ropers To Be H‘osts In Their Garden The Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Daniel C. Roper will give a re- ception Thursday afternoon in com- pliment to the members of the Japa- nese economic mission, who will arrive in Washington Wednesday. The Secre- tary. and Mrs. Roper will receive in the delightful garden of their home on Woodland drive and their guests will be limited to the members of the mission, the Embassy staff and offi- cials of the Commerce Department. Envoy of Finland To Return in July The - Minister of Finland, M. Eero Jarnefelt, will sail the end of this month to return to Washington, after accompanying Mme. Jarnefelt to Fin- land. The Minister will arrive early in July to remain at his post through the Summer. The Charge d’Affaires of Finland, Dr. Sigurd von Numers, will sail next month to spend his vacation in Fin- land, where he will join Mme. von Numers, who sailed & few weeks ago.
