Residentiral_i Social News Mrs. Underwood Reopens Her Home, Woodlawn, in Virginia. RS. OSCAR W. UNDER-! WOOD, widow of the late Senator Underwood from Alabama, has reopened her home, Woodlawn. the historic home of Woodlawn, the dower gift of "George Washington to his| adopted daughter, is regarded by many a8 being the truest example of Geor- gian architecture in this part of the country. At present Mrs. Underwood is making extensive repairs on the man- sion, and it is being painted both It will be completed within a few weeks' time and Mrs. Underwood will again be at home to her friends. Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt, ir., grandson and granddaughter-in-law of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and the late former President, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. du Pont, at| Chestertown House, at Southampton, Long Island.

Miss Sweet Hostess Saturday Evening Miss Joy Sweet, daughter of Mr.| Beth Blaine 'HE Duchess of Windsor may have trains held for her, but when Mrs. Russell-Bennett boarded the 8. 8. Excalibar last week, she dubbed herself the “Duchess of Disgrace!” Having allowed herself four hours’ leeway to get to the pier after arriving at Jersey City, imagine her sensations when, owing to a washout along the line, she found herself sidetracked in the wilds of Pennsylvania for four hours! The railroad officials rose to the occasion by sending a telegram asking the Captain to hold the ship for half an hour “if possible!” Updn arriving at Jersey City they had a taxi already sitting on the train platform. The ensuing dash to the dock and relief at seeing the Excalibar with smoke stacks streaming still at the wharf, we leave to your imagination! The ship’s entire personnel were waiting for us, while the more fortunate passengers already on board sent up a hearty cheer. Three minutes afterward the gangplank was taken down and with an almost inadequate “toot-toot” the delayed vessel started on her forty-two day Mediterranean cruise. The moral of this little story is when catching a boat for Europe, go up the day before! * K K K HEN lunching in the renowned Japanese Garden of the Ritz- Carlton one day last week we discovered that New Yorkers are most punctual at this hour. By one-fifteen, all the tables are filled and tardy arrivals are forced to seek refreshment elsewhere. The tables are placed in an open court where a bubbling foun- tain, from which two stone hippopotami glower at the smart as- sembled throng, give forth the psychological cooling effect of run- | ning water. There we saw Madame Ertegun, wife of the Turkish Ambassador, in a large group and Ibrahim Seyfullah Bey, Secre- tary of the Embassy. Naval Attache at our Embassy in Rome, while nearby Mr. and Mrs. Murray Jacoby were lunching with friends. Several years ago Mr. Jacoby was our Special Envoy to the Coronation festivities of His Former Majesty Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. Looking very smart in an unusual print was Mrs. Enzo Fiermonte, formerly Mrs. John Jacob Astor, whose dynamic young husband has recently been spending five days in jail Jor a traffic offense dating from 1934, which, until a week ago, he had successfully avoided. While her husband lunched in jail, his wife lunched unperturbed within the smart environs of the Ritz! * X X K In London it reached such heights that exclusive dances were | not complete without a corner of young blades demonstrating their | ability with “the string!” Well, at the present writing, New York is, and has been for the past month, completely gone on a game called “Hi-Li” (not the Hi Li or Pelotte Basque which one thinks of connected with the Basque country, Cuba and Panama). From the slums to Park Avenue its addicts perform without shame, and grimly with a ping-pong racket to which an inoffensive ball at- | tached to a rubber string dangles forlornly! The idea of it all lies as for the beaches, they are studded with solitary figures standing | Also seen was Captain Drace White, formerly | JDO YOU remember when the world at large went Yo-Yo mad? | M | in the fact that one skilled in “Hi-Li” hits the ball as many times | | as he can with his paddle until he either reaches a hundred or | misses, which, alas, is more frequently the case! }Mrs. Riley Guest Of Mrs. Dougherty | Mrs. Thomas Rilev Marshall, wife of the late former Vice President, is visiting Mrs. John Allan Dougherty at Westport, Conn. where Mrs.| | Dougherty recently purchased a Sum- | mer place.
