Roses, carnations, jonquils, snapdragons and other spring flowers were used in the clever scheme of seating. Comdr. and Mrs. Edwin A.

By the Way— Beth Blaine— Most amusing invitations of the year are the very descriptive cards which Nina and Hugh Auchincloss have sent to friends asking them to & smail leap year dance Saturday, May 25, at Merrywood. At the top of the card one sees, in bold and vivid pen and ink strokes, a rather frightened gentieman on the limh of a swaying tree, and very much on a limb, since 4irectly on his heels iz a forthright and determined young woman in hot pursuit, If this party is anything like the last leap year party the Auchinclosses gave its success already is assured, for never was there a gayer or more delighttul gathering. Even the most assured glamour boys in town trembled with fear lest they be wall flowers, and became starry-eyed with delight when they were given a whirl on the dance floor by the lovely ladies. As we remember, Griff Warfield was “belle of the ball,” with Tinsley Garnett a close second. * ok X % At long last we have seen Mrs. Higginson Rogers’ new house in Georgetown—not really new, since it is a charming old house redecorated —and to the queen’s taste! The drawing room, which is on the back of the house overlooking the gar- den, is painted pale hydrangea blue and is furnished with Nina's own lovely French and English things and filled with bowls of fragrant spring flowers. On the same floor, but on the front of the house, is a small and very gay little sitting room—painted dusky pink, with taffeta curtains looped high, French prints on the wall, and some beautiful old furniture—all French. Mme. Prochnik, Clarence Hewes, Frederick Savage of Baltimore, Maj. and Mrs. Melvin Hall, she all in brown; Col. Robert Olds, Denys Smith, Mrs. Marshall Exnicios, Mrs/ Anthony Coleby, Mrs.’ George Pettengill and Mr. and Mrs. Snowderf Fahnestock made up the party—every one just as enthusiastic as we about the house. * k X X Maj. and Mrs. Horace Smith gave a small dinner last night to honor the much-feted American Minister tc the Dominican Republic and Mrs. Robert Scotten. The hostess and the guest of honor wore white and gold—*“Wibbie's” gown of pleated crepe, with her gold mesh belt inter- woven with red, and Ann’s frock of dull white crepe made on Empire lines, with the short puffed sleeves and square neck banded in gold. Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins in all grey was just back from New York and reported that her small grandson is well on the way to recovery after a trying siege with pneumonia—and that she had brought her little grancdaughter back for a visit with her here. Mrs. Smith’s sister, Mrs. Churchill Newcomb of New York, who is staying with the Smiths—and will. we understand, be here for several weeks—"“Wibbie's” father-in-law, vhe popular George T Summerlin, and Col.
