SOCIETY. By the Way— Beth Blains HILE the 1925 F Street Club was humming with activity with the dance which the Albert Deweys gave, the Lawrence Baker house on Foxhall road was buzzing with gayety Saturday night. In honor of a future bride and bridegroom, Marguerite Hagner and Mike McConihe, the Bakers gave a buffet supper followed by dancing to which more guests came later in the evening. Mrs. Baker, tall and attractive, wore a becoming white dress and Marguerite Hagner’s black and gold costume was extremely smart and she was looking the very picture of a happy bride. The party was in every way one of the better affairs where informality and congeniality prevailed. The elements, too, added a helping hand, for over the terrace, which was used for “sitting out,” was placed a marquee, which might have been useless if the evening had not been almost balmy. The Big Apple came into its own again, and no wonder, for Larry Baker, son of the house, is famous for his dancing of all kinds and especially tap, and is the very top when called on for a solo durlng the Big Apple. Nancy Leiter was in fine form and with Mike McConihe “shone” to the queen’s taste. From New York came Beatrice Gray, better known as Milo, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Gray, who is visiting Margot Garrett. If the Big Apple is as popular in her set in New York and Long Island as it was here Saturday night, Milo must be a huge success, for she did more than her. bit to promote the amusing dance Saturday night. Mrs. Blaise de Sibour, dancing with Malcolm McConihe, tripped the light fantastic to the strains of one of 8Sidney’s orchestras, while her mother, Mrs. Theodore Douglas Robinson, was having a very successful evening with all her good friends so glad to have her once more in Washington. An added thoughtful touch made quite a hit with the ladies: Namely, that Mrs. Baker, anticipating a possible cold spell and afraid that her guests might catch pneumonia if they sat out under the marquee, had placed bright, warm, woolly shawls on nearly every chair. There Bettina Belmont, for one, draped artistically in a vivid scarf, sat between dances in utmost warmth and comfort. “Genial” seems to be the word which best describes the Baker party which was enjoyed by one and all to the f:tllcst. * x * 'HERE never was and, as far as her many friends are concerned, there never will be a gayer, more amusing and original person than Mrs. Charles Stone, who before her marriage was Frances McKee, daughter of Mrs. Frederick Brooke. Sadly enough for Washington, Francie and her husband Charlie come here only for too fleeting visits since they are comfortably settled now with their young son Charles Lanier in a delightfully furnished apart- ment in New York City. There still remains in Washington, how- ever, Francie’s police dog, whose fame has reached far and wide, for like Mary and her little lamb, wherever Francie went the dog was sure to go. The pet was a gift from the late Mr. Cretziani, one-time Rumanian Minister here, and the animal bears the distinguished name of the donor, though it has been cut shorter to Cretz. Regardless of size, any New York apartment would be found to be pretty inadequate for Cretz, so he “boards” with Mrs. Brooke. Charlie is connected with the New York office of Auchincloss, Parker and Redpath and Francie for the past few years has been doing a superb job as a personal shopper in one of the large department stores in New York. The latest news of Francie is that she has organized a “Lonely Hearts’ Club” in the shop! All of this is so typical of Francie, who is an organizer par excellence by nature. Apparently the invited members of the club meet every day for luncheor in order that some 10 or 12 Yale and Harvard graduates, who are employed in the men’s department, may meet various attractive young women of Francie's acquaint- ance in and around the metropolis. From all reports under the able chaperonage and guidance of the indefatigable Mrs. Stone, the “Lonely Hearts” are enjoying themselves immensely. at one time, and they had with them Nearb Area Mr. and Mrs. George Willard, who . y were their guests for the day.
