Friday evening was spent in New York with dinner at the Rainbow Room where one finds such a superb view of the great city; the bridges with their golden lights look like necklaces of yellow diamonds and that glorious panorama makes one feel most insignificant. The following morning we motored down to Great Neck, L. I, to join a gay house party of seven. Our host, who is one of the most delightful and generous men we knocw, had everything planned for an ideal week end. His estate is beautiful with a perfectly arranged house, large gardens and an old-fashioned orchard that won our hearts. We played tennis and all made suggestions to the architect where the new swimming pool should be. It was finally agreed the perfect spot was facing the rose garden. After an amusing dinner that evening we motored over to the Atlantic Beach Club. where we found all our Nassau {riends of last winter and had an hilarious reunion. Sunday there was much more tennis and a very late luncheon and in the evening we motored over to the Averell Harriman’s for cocktails and on to the Herbert Swope’s for a Sunday night buffet supper. The most perfect summer cottage imaginable is the Har- riman’s which they occupy only through July and August. It is a low, white cottage situated right on the water, with wings forming patios. A sixty foot blue tiled pool is set deep in the lawn. The house is filled with great comfortable sofas, modernistic deep chairs—covered in white and deep blue and every available corner is filled with flowers. Marie Har- riman lovely looking with dark blue eyes and dark hair, wore the most alluring gray pajamas cut like a skirt with crimson shoulder straps, belt and shoes giving a dash of color. Averell Harriman was on his way to Sun Valley, Idaho, and Marie is leaving this week to join him. When we arrived at the Herbert Swope's we found our hostess in a beautiful trailing tea gown of two shades of blue; the tight skirt was delft blue with a long train and over it she wore a high necked long sleeved very full chiffon smock of royal blue, edged with lace, that reached just to the knees. In her hair was a band of the same color chiffon. wore a black gown with a red sequin jacket and beautiful clips. At Sunday night suppers one always finds half the guests elabo- rately dressed and others in sport clothes, the joy of country life | when one does what one pleases.
