SOCIETY. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, MONDAY, AUGUST 2, 1937 SOCIETY First of Week Marked by Lull in Social Activities in the Capital Mrs. Roosevelt Hostess To English Visitors Minister of Panama and Senora de Boyd to Leave on Trip to Canada. Official News. RS. ROOSEVELT had as her guests at Hyde Park Mr. and . Mrs. Sydney R. Elliott, who are leaders of the co-operative movement in England. Mrs. Roosevelt is spending the Summer at Hyde Park, making short trips from there around that part of the country. She will accompany her son, Col. James Roosevelt, to Indianapolis later in the month to attend the meeting of the Young Democrats, which will convene August 20. The Minister of Panama and Senora de Boyd will leave the o Capital August 14 by motor on a trip to Canada. They will be gone 10 days. Representative John J. Delaney of New York, and Mrs. Delaney have leased the house at 131 North Jackson street, Arlington. Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook, chief of the Bureau of Aero- nautics of the Navy Department, and Mrs. Cook have issued invi- tations to officers of the Bureau of Aeronautics and their wives to attend a reception on Wednesday, from 5 to 7 o'clock, in the Chinese room of the Mayflower. Licut. Comdr. and Mrs. Kenneth H. Noble with their young | « son, Thomas, and small daughter, Mary Hill, who recently arrived | ] from San Diego where Lieut. Comdr. Noble was in charge of a squadron of new destroyers, have moved into the house at 130 North Jackson street in Arlington, formerly occupied by Lieut. Comdr. and Mrs. D. C. Redgrave. Lieut. Comdr. Noble is now on duty with the Bureau of Ordnance. Lieut. Comdr. and Mrs. Redgrave have gone to Staten Island, N. Y., where Comdr. Redgrave will be on duty at the shipyards. Prior to going to Staten Island they visited in New Jersey and Lynn, Mass. By the \;\/aY— MMORE about that smart rendezvous of the New Yorker seeking relief from the big city . . . Atlantic Beach. Amidst its color- ful splendors both natural and otherwise, three appalling crazes are growing hourly; namely backgammon, bingo and towie. The backgammon craze comes belatedly from Paris and has already enjoyed several scasons of popularity around New York; bingo is played for an hour twice a week by the dining room at large and pots up to a hundred dollars or more are won many times an eve- ning, and towie is the three-handed bridge game, which nine can play. If you can figure that out! Without exaggeration there are five tables of towie to one of bridge played in New York and Miami, and this challenge to Culbertson and other experts was invented by Replogle, erstwhile steel magnate, and is now being played avidly by former experts at bridge. Ecch week end is spent amidst ideal conditions. Invariably several yachts are anchored off the beach. Recently the Busby III, cwned by Bobby La Branche came in with young Noel Leggett, Pauline Munn Doyle. Louic Ehret on board who all swam ashore to see their friends ajter having escorted the S. S. Champlain a short way toward Europe. The Princess Ketto Mikeladze was present also and this beau- tiful personage is writing her memoirs, which for variety will not present “her escape from Russia,” but will offer the novelty of her experiences here in America. Speaking of celebrities, of which the club abounds, in one corner of the beach is the cabana of Mr. Mark Hellinger, the writer, and Mrs. Hellinger, the former Gladys Glad who was called by Flo Zeigfeld the “most beautiful girl in America.” Near them is the well-known photographer, famed for portraiture, Hal Phyfe, a descendant no less of Duncan Phyfe, responsible for a certain type of furniture pleasing collectors of the period of 1800. On Celebrity night we were fortunate to again encounter Andrea Ferrero, formerly of the Italian Embassy, in whose large party was Marta | Abba, the Ttalian actress who is creating such a sensation in “Tovarich.” Miss Abba whose lovely red gold hair and blue eyes geems more of the Polish type than Italian, is one of the out- n}andmg actresses of Italy, known for her portrayals of Pirandellc's‘ plays. With Ferrero we again met Contessa Daisy Carpenetto who often visits Donna Matilde de Suvich, wife of the Italian Ambassador. The Contessa who is tall and dark with striking black eyes. is without a doubt one of the most in- teresting women we have met. Her first book, a novel, “Il Secreto della Pace.” was published when she was seventeen and she has published many since. In a country where woman’s suffrage is a joke, and woman’s place is in the home, she is today one of the leading feminine journalists. At present the Contessa has been sent by her paper (for the second time) to write a series on “the American Woman.” She is a * great admirer of the American woman, and it is a comfort to know that in her understanding hands we will receive just treatment rather than the unkind though amusing attempts of that Satirist Francarolle, whose book “Le Ragazze Americane” gives us much to live down in Italy!! liss F.
