Beth Blaine ELL, here we are again having to say au revoir to another attractive person who must follow her foreign service hus- band to other shores. In this case it is Mrs. Charles E. Bohlen, whose husband, “Chip,” left a week ago for Brussels, where he was sent to attend the nine-power conference, which opens Novem- ber 3. Avis leaves Washington next week to spend a little time with her family in Philadelphia and as soon as she gets her orders, as it were, she will set sail for Europe to join her husband and with him will go on to Moscow, where he has been transferred. Yesterday afternoon a number of Avis’ friends dropped in at her apartment to wish her well and bemoan her de- parture. Stopping with her for several days was her sister, Betsy, recovered from a long illness and looking the very picture of health once more. Betsy is a few years older than Avis, a contemporary and great friend of Beatrice Patterson, also of Philadelphia, who graces Washington with her pres- ence from time to time. Countess Roberti was there looking chic and as though she had just stepped out of a bandbox, which is nothing unusual. The Robert Joyces appeared, also Rebecca Wellington, who, with the Joyces is giving a dinner for Avis Saturday night at the Joyces’ little house in Georgetown. Bob Coe of the State Department was on hand and the Creighton Peets came, too, each and every one truly sad that Avis must pull up stakes and move away. The cheery living room of the apartment on Sirteenth street which the Bohlens leased during their stay here was cheerier than ever yesterday with the rain coming down in buckets outside. Avis is a lover of plants and flowers, and the various ladies present were begging her to will them her numerous ivy, gardenia and African violet plants which she has kept in perfect condition and tended with utmost care: One of the best of her collection Avis admitted she was leaving to her maid, who is really upset over her departure, but when we asked Annie why she did not go with Mrs. Bohlen, she allowed that she was afraid she would not likeMoscow! * ¥ *x x OING one better on the “strange as it seems” principle, we repeat the following remarks overheard recently at smart social functions ...
