SOCIETY. Rumanian Minister Host Reception Celebrates Anniversary of King Carol’s Accession to the Throne. HE Rumanian Legation was a festive sight yesterday after- noon, when the Minister, Mr. Charles A. Davila, entertained at a reception in celebration of the anniversary of King Carol's accession to the throne June 8, 1930. The Min- ister had no worries about the weather, since the tea took place within the Legation, but the sun shone anyway on the Rumanians’ great day. The guests included many members of the diplomatic corps and persons from official and residential Wash- ington circles. His Majesty’s health was drunk in champagne by all pres- ent. The Minister received his guests in his usual charming and hospitable manner, and the financial counselor, Mr. George Boncesco, was very much in evidence to greet the guests also. Mme. Boncesco is in New York, but Mme. Babes, wife of the First Secre- tary, and Mme. Dimitriu, whose hus- band is the Assistant Financial Coun- selor, assisted the Minister. The spacious rooms of the Legation were decorated with great branches of dogwood—the most excellent imitation ' dogwood ever seen—masses of pale pink peonies and other early Summer flowers giving a gardenlike atmosphere: Mrs. Hull, wife of the Secretary of State, and Mrs. Roper, wife of the Sec- retary of Commerce, were present, also Representative Edith Nourse Rogers and Representative Nan Wood Honey- man. The Mexican Ambassador and Senora de Castillo Najera, the Turkish Ambassador and Mme. Ertegun, the Minister of Switzerland and Mme. Peter, the Minister of Denmark, Mr. Otto Wadsted, and the Greek Minis- ter, Mr. Demetrios Siciliancs, were in the gathering. Mrs. J. Hamilton Lewis was among the guests, also Mrs. Wilbur J. Carr, Mrs. Sol Bloom and her daughter, Miss Vera Bloom; Mr. and Mrs. John Farr Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. Wade H. Ellis, Senator Arthur Capper and Father Edmund J. Walsh. In every way it was a delightful party, which was nothing unusual, for all functions, either large or small, given by Mr. Davila are thoroughly en- Jjoyed and over all prevails a pleasant air of informality.

The party was in honor of Mrs. Ned Brunson Harris, recently elected president of the Newspaper Women's Club of which Mrs. Bacon is an assoclate member, and of Miss Margaret Hart, whose second term as president of the club expired last week. Although the guests entered the house, they were received by Mrs. Bacon in the garden. She wore a be- coming gown of black crepe with white figures and her, perky hat was of transparent straw, the ngrrow brim upturned at the edge and the shallow crown having a cluster of white flow- ers in the front. Mrs. Harrls and Miss Hart received with her. The garden of cool, refreshing green, in the midst of the downtown section of the city, had white metal tables and chairs placed about on the grass protected by the shade from a glant tree. The beach chairs added a note of color to the scene. Iced tea with hors d'oeuvres were served from one table while equally refreshing but more stimulating drinks were served under the arbor. Mrs. Bacon was assisted by her two attractive daughters, the Misses Ba- con, each wearing a gay print dress. The three white West Highland ter- riers were warmly greeted and en- tertained by all the guests, The friendly little dogs returned all the greetings, especially when accom- panied by one of the delicacies being served. The guests, many of whom were en Toute to the Rumanian Legation or had just come from there, included Mrs. Cordell Hull, in a becoming gown of black chiffon with white figures, made with long puffed sleeves. With this she wore a wide-brimmed black CCLEANING SREMODELING *AND STORING Quality methods of han- dling your garment is the protection offered at the most moderate rotes, Phone National 1267 for Bawded Messenger CAPITOL Fur Shop 1208 GEE STREET A Cool Paste completes the summer scene A TAILORED TWO-PIECE EN:!
