Here and Away By the Way— Beth Blaine STEWART McDONALD, Federal housing administrator and one of our most attractive bachelors, gave a small dinner party last evening on the Shoreham terrace. It was a perfect night for dining out of doors, with a lovely moon that crept in and out of picturesque clouds. The terrace was crowded, “the world and his wife” being there. The party was a congenial one and gay, includ- ing Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Duggan, he the chief of the Latin American Division of the State Department, who related all the interesting things about their 11-week-old daughter, Stephanie ‘Tom Hennings, the hard-working young member of Congress from Missouri, and Senator Bob La Follette, who arrived late, having been detaired by conferences “on the Hill”; Mr. and Mrs. Colear and pretty Mrs. Young, a sister-in-law of Bob La Follette's. and l\illr. Magee from Atlanta, who had news of many mutual friends there. Ferry Heath, Viscomte de Sibour and Henry Spencer were seen wending their way to and from the dance floor. The Emil Hurjas were with a group at the next table and Senator Connoll; of Texas danced past—he is such a good dancer! x x % % I\/IE. AND MRS. LAWRENCE BAKER, who sailed early in the Summer for England, took their station wagon with them and have toured through rural England in the sturdy and roomy little conveyance. At the moment they are on the high seas en route back to this country and will arrive in time for the dashing finish of the tennis tournament “Mr. Baker, being secretary of the International Lawn Tennis Association, was on hand for both the Wimbledon and the Davis Cup matches, an enviable combination of first-rate tennis and much festivity. After reaching terra firma they again will “gypsy north” in the familiar little wagon and will go as far toward the Pole as Canada, but expect to return to New York City for the tennis nationals which will be played at Forest Hills. S * ok ok % ICTURE post cards, at best are an inadequate means of com- munication—"The weather's fine—the swimming’s great—we all miss you.” However, a card recently received from Michel Budny of the Polish Embassy was unusually illuminating. . Its man; palm trees, its mammoth grapefruit and particularly brillian oranges gave evidence of California—Hollywood to be exact. Michel was there before a visit in San Francisco. He will return to Wash- ington through Chicago after a brief trip in the Canadian Rockies, arriving here the end of the month. He is among the large num- ber of diplomats who have taken a leave of absence as an op- {)crtunity to see this continent for themselves. Many have gone 0 the West Coast, not a few confining their travels to these United States, but others, like our friend Michel, including at least a bit of the Dominion to the North. P CARDS from vivacious Sibilla Skidelsky, daughter of Mme de Bianchi, the Portugese Minister's wife, tell something of her interesting travels in Europe this Summer. She sailed somewhere in advance of the Minister and Mme. de Bianchi joining them in Paris. where they “went to the fair.” Gay Sibilla missed nothing at the fair and was particularly inter- ested in the art erhibits. She now is in Budapest, while he mother and the Minister are in Portugal. Early nmext mont} dainty little Mlle. Skidelsky will join the famous Swedish sculptor, Carl Milles, and Mrs. Milles in Italy for the month and is expected to return to Washington early in the Autumn Mr. and Mrs. Milles, although he is the Swedish sculptor, call themselves “from Cranbrook, Mich.” x ok ok % THE much heralded return of the Walravenses is at last an accom- plished fact. Gerard Walravens, who has been second secre- tary of the Belgian Embassy for more than two years, was appointed charge d'affaires at Mexico for his government and has been at that capital since early in the year. His work must have been uccessful, for he was retained there much longer than he expected when he left Washington. The score of friends made by the W: ravenses during those two years here, feared he would follow in the footsteps of M. Walravens’ predecessor, Baron Antoine Beyens, who, after serving his Mexico apprenticeship, returned to our midst and immediately was recalled to Brussels, with duty in the foreign office. However, their fears are unfounded. TURBANS Are on the Hats to add dash to your mid- And turbans are fovorites . . . high, droped, season costume. pecked and off - the - face.
