LOWREY of San Francisco are en route | to Washington and will arrive here tomorrow. Mrs. Lowrey, the former Mary Louise Black, and Mr. Lowrey, who, like his cousin. William Castle, comes originally from Honolulu, have just dozens and dozens of friends here, who will welcome them with open arms. They are going to be stopping at the Shoreham and from all re- {)orts will be busy every moment with each and every friend stand- ng ready to give them a good time. Tuesday evening the James glement Dunns are giving a very small and friendly dinner in their I onor. s Another popular couple to appear on the scene of action within a few weeks are the Ned Alsops, for the past 15 years of Paris. Mrs. Alsop, the former Hildegarde McKenna, and her husband make an annual trip to America and will be in New York for some weeks, but Washington will have the pleasure of seeing them for but three or four days. Already the Undersecretary of State and Mrs. Sumner Welles have plans afoot to give them a dinner November 9. ‘We were so glad the other day to see that Capt. and Mrs. Robert Monroe are once more in our midst. Katie and Bob are great fa- vorites here and it is indeed a pleasure to think that they are en- sconced in their house, on Wyoming avenue, after doing duty on the West Coast for the past few years. Bob was our Naval Attache in Rio de Janiero during the exposition and no two people could have had a better time than they did, or made more friends. Will Ryan is back from Mexico City, where he took an excursion to all points of note with his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Burke Elbrick, with whom he visited last year when Burke was vice consul and third secretary in Haiti. The Elbricks are soon to take off for Warsaw, their new post, leaving, to be specific, November 20. For the present they are stopping with Mrs. Elbrick’s parents, Admiral and Mrs. A. W. Johnson, in their house, on R street. Mrs. Elbrick’s original Dutch bob, exotic clothes and huge, unusual earrings have always been a source of envy. It's so nice to have them here, if only for a short time. * % %k X ARY COWLES, who steps up the aisle of St. John's a week from tomorrow to become Mrs. Willard Reed, jr., was given a cocktail party yesterday by Helen Brereton, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. William D. Brereton. There may be a few persons about who think that Willard Reed—better known as Jess—is a myth, for alas, alack, he is at present connected with the Chicago office of the American Airlines so he can't get to Washington even for parties given in his and Mary’s honor. In fact, he is just manag- ing to make New York tomorrow, where his ushers’ dinner is taking place at the Harvard Club. Of course, it is not news to any one who is acquainted with the Brereton family that Mrs. Brereton is the youngest looking person alive to have two grown daughters. At the expense of sounding trite and perhaps a bit sentimental we just have to say that yesterday she looked eractly like an older sister to Helen, Nancy and Sally Brereton. It was a delightful gathering and among the guests who came “to meet” Miss Cowles were the Air Attache of the British Embassy, T. E. B. Howe; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Somers, Eleanor Powell, Alice Tuckerman, Betty Hardie, Eleanor Roberts, Herbert Ford, the last three are members of the Reed-Cowles wed- ding party; Hank Whitney, Bob Sweezey, Caroline Chantry, Forrest | (Bony) Close, Osgood (Jimmy) Nichols and Charlie Aigle. Young Sally Brereton, the baby of the family, was the most attentive person imaginable and let it be said that if any one wants to be sure that their guests are really well taken care of they better get in touch with Miss Sally and ask her to donate her services!
