Her father, the present Czechoslovak Minister to Bucharest, was the predecessor of Minister Hurban, and with Mme. Veverka was stationed in America for eight years. Their children, Nella and Ferdinand, grew up in the Legation on Massachusetts avenue. Every morning at 12 o’clock the Minister and his family went for a stroll, accompanied by their Dobermann-Pincer, the fearless terror of the avenue; while the afternoons found them playing tennis at the Chevy Chase Club. Nella made her debut at a tea dance three years ago and owing to her gayety and love of fun she was an imme- diate success. r The Veverkas have an eighteenth century chateau outside of Prague and Baron Hildprondt's ertensive estate, Blatna, adjoins it. The castle of the Hildprondt family was built in the twelfth century and is one of the few remaining ones sur- rounded by a moat. Tall, dark and handsome, the Baron is the an- swer to any maiden’s prayer, and his extensive stables, coupled with his reputation as a hunter, would inflate the pride of any English squire. So November 20, in the church on the Veverka's estate, our erstwhile debutante and handsome Baron will be wed. It will be one of the social events in Prague, as Minister Ferdinand Veverka is a great friend of President Benes. Besides being Minister in Bucharest, he represents Czechoslovakia at the League of Nations. We understand the young couple have known each other only a very short time and their romance is most American in its rapidity, “love at first sight!” E T BARON HILDPRONDT. JE WENT around literally in circles on Kalorama Circle yes= terday afternoon seeking a parking space among the de luxe limousines lined up outside the house of Benjie Plunket and Neil Hogg—both of the British Embassy—who gave a party in honor of the retiring Second Secretary of their staff, Philip Broad, who leaves today New York bound for his new post in Iran. Benjie, an excellent host, always greets his guests near the doorway, alternating with Neil. The latter, well known as an intellectual, is one of Washington’s recluses, so called be- cause he is rarely seen. During the afternoon Neil found time Jor a discussion with Emily Davis pertaining to spiritualism but to the uninitiated the conversation might have referred to the teachings of Gautama Buddha or the voodoo craze rampant in New York at the present time. Returning to the guests seated in the pleasant green-tinted drawing room, we encountered the Leander McCormick-Goodharts Mrs. McCormick-Goodhart in a cinnamon-colored suit heavily trimmed with fitch fur and looking very smart. Surprisingly bal anced on one small sofa were Mary Lou Marsh, Julie Del Zimmer man, Mary Cootes, James Grayson and Randall Hagner with I sister Marguerite. Elinor Ryan, in town for a few days, was there with Nancy Mann, whose gown so astonished us we didn’t know whether she was “coming or going”; the back made of black, while the front was a brilliant lipstick red Mrs. Harold Sims chatted with Enid Snow, while nearby Harold Sims sat with Mrs. George Pulver, whose black ensemble w startlingly brightened by a brilliant red flower on her hat. M Wallach Merriam was flanked by Mrs. Francis Whitten and Mrs. Morris Clark. The latter, just back from New York, wore a beige suede hat with a lemon tinge and a perky red feather and her elbow= length gloves were in compliment to her unique color scheme. Mme. Nikola Perazic and her attractive house guest from Cuba, Senorita Luisa Carlota Parraga, wore silver fox capes, as did petite Mrs. Albert Dewey, whose piquant features and camilia skin make her stand out in any gathering. Incidentally the Albert Deweys will give a small dance at the 1925 F Street Club November 27. Mrs. Pearsons Rust and Eddy Gardner arrived in tweeds, obviously just back from a day at Laurel. 1f tweeds denote a day at the races, Stellita Stapleton, Ralphie Hill, George Pul- ver, Keith Officer and Charles Ritchie might have gone to the races, too. We learned that Neil Hogg is not to leave until after Christmas, in which case Benjie Plunket need not fear dispossession till after the New Year. Whether he will linger on in solitude and rattle around like the proverbial “pea in the pod” remains still on that distant January horizon. | 5 art of New York| Clinese basaar next week.
