Culbertson at 2101 Connecticut avenue, with most of the Department of State in attendance (Mr. Culbertson used to be Ambassador to Chile) and later on the small and very delightful little party of Col. Robert Olds at his house on Reno road. Here the guests of honor, the Richmonds of Boston who are stopping off en route to Warrenton to week-end with Mrs. Clarke Baldwin over the Gold Cup, failed to show up because of foggy flying weather and came to Washington by train several hours after the party given in their honor. However, despite the lack of guests of honor, the party, managed to be very gay—with lovely Mrs. Kent Legare in black and white; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Auchincloss, Nina wondering if she had enotigh of a stag line for her leap year party since there are 50 many more extra men in town than there are women; Mrs. Robert Scot- ten in black and white checked jacket with a plain black skirt and a simply devastating black hat with a white rose and a sheer black veil as its only decoration, and the very sweeet mother of the host, Mrs. Olds, senior.
