Looking back over the past week end we realize that the calendar has been full of these informal, effortless, gay gatherings. - The parties started at Rehoboth last Sunday when Maj. and Mrs. Frank Heywood of the British Embassy asked us to lunch. We all strolled up from the Beach to their nice cool cottage in which Frank has ingeniously installed his own cooling system consisting of a large garden sprinkler placed firmly on the roof, where it “sprinkles” night and day. This makes the interior of the house eight degrees cooler than out of doors, but gives one a strange sensation to glance through the windows and see a seemingly torrential rain pouring out of azure blue skies! The Heywoods had with them as house guests three members of the British Embassy, Mr. Chalkley, the Commercial Counselor; Mr. Noel Trentham, the Financial Counselor, and Mr. Stirling. Capt. Mark-Wardlaw dropped in after luncheon for only a mo= ment as he was desperately cottage hunting for his attractive fam- ily, who return from England this coming week. In the evening with the Austrian Minister and Mme. Prochnik and their beautiful daughter, Valerie de Sibour now, we wandered down the boardwalk to the bowling alley. There we formed teams with the Czechoslovakian Minister and Mme. Hurban, their house guest, Mr. Otakar Kabelac; the Felix Morleys and several others. With our untrained muscles stiff our scores not too good—uwe all limped home, having had a grand time. We returned from Rchoboth in time to dine on the Shoreham Terrace, where we saw Tony Balasy of the Hungarian Legation waltzing beautifully with an out-of-town friend, we learned later; Marion Trumbull and her partner dexteriously weaving through the crowd; Blanton Winship, Governor of Puerto Rico, was wend- ing his way back to his table with a pretty partner—in fact, every- where one looked there were friends. Tuesday night was a most lovely evening, for ten of us dined with the Francis Whittens at their beautiful house on the edge of Rock Creek Park. Katherine has a great flare not only for clothes, but for entertaining beautiful We dined out on the terrace in the cool night air and the table was decorated with clusters of roses from the garden. Among the guests were H. E. the Belgian Ambassador Count van der Straten-Ponthoz; Francis Rust, Mr. and Mrs. George Pulver, who leave tomorrow for a round of visits finally ending up at York Harbor for the remainder of the Sum= mer; Ralph Snowden Hill, who departs for a visit with Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock at Newport this week end; Edward Gardner and Em- mons Smith, whose wife Betty is now in Canada visiting friends at their camp.

Others in the party beside the ten of the night before were the John Caswells, Mary Smith, the Harold Hintons and the Alfred Millers. Some of our extra beaux were Commander John Magruder. Commander Tommny Thomas and “Doggie” Waggaman all beautiful dancers. Last evening found most of Washington at the Chevy Chase Club—except the diplom and officials who were attending the | reception at the Eg ptian Legation.
