SGCiIm1 Y. Mrs. Roosevelt Receives On White House Lawn for Woman Federal Workers Assisted by Little Cabinet; Colombian Ambassador Host In Honoring Santander A summer sun beamed on the some 2,000 women who gathered on the ‘White House lawn yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Roosevelt and the ladies of the official family and little cabinet greeted the feminine Government workers. Although another party at the Colombian Embassy was officially indoors, the same brilliant sunshine drew many of the guests, gathered to celebrate the day of Gen. Francisco de P. Santander, into the patio off the drawing room. At the White House, where the guests first passed by the little formal garden where tulips and heartsease swayed gently in the breeze, Mrs. Roosevelt stood at the far end of the east lawn and with her stood Mrs. Woodring, wife of the Secretary of War; Mrs. Robert Jackson, wife of the Attorney General; Mrs. Edison, wife of the Secretary of the Navy; Mrs. Ickes, wife of the Secretary of the Interior; Mrs. Wallace, wife of the Secretary of Agriculture; Miss Frances Perkins, the Secretary of Labor; Mrs. Sumner Welles, wife of the Assistant Secretary of State, and Mrs. Daniel W. Bell, wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Mrs. William W. Howes, wife of¢—————— the First Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral, and Mrs. Edward J. Noble, wife of the Undersecretary of Commerce, were last in line. Mrs. Roosevelt Gowned in Chiffon. The President’s wife wore an ex- quisite dress of chiffon, with dainty blue sprigs against a white back- ground, and a matching blue straw hat. The pleated bodice had long sleeves, full to the elbow and tight from the elbow to the wrist, and about the waist was a narrow velvet ribbon, which fell at the back to the ground. Lovely Mrs. Woodring was in aqua blue, the street-length dress of crepe being worn with a contrasting hat of beige rose. Mrs. Jackson was in navy blue with a white sailor hat trimmed t the blue, and Mrs. Edi- son wore a simple green print dress under a natural-color jacket and her green hat had orchid-color flow- ers on the front. Mrs. Ickes wore a rust-color coat over her print dress and her hat was of brown straw with & dark brown band of velvet. Mrs. Wallace was lovely in a dark blue suit and hat, with a peach-color blouse showing a ruffle at the front. Miss Perkins was in all black crepe with a thin coat of the same mate- rial over the dress. Mrs. Welles chose a black and white print dress and a black hat and Mrs. Bell was in gray, with a lavender hat of flowers. Mrs. Howes wore a black grena- dine frock with a matching black hat, and Mrs. Noble was in a dark blue pleated costume with touches of color in the trimming, and her tiny pancake hat had a large pink rose on the front. The scene was a delightfully col- orful one—the gay spring prints of the callers vieing with the green of the lawn and the trees and the col- orful flowers in the distance. Re- freshments were served under the bright red and white awning at one end of the lawn, and little green chairs were placed in advantageous positions for the convenience of the guests. ‘The long line of callers began moving at 4 o'clock and was not ended until almost 6 o'clock. Musical Program Follows Dinner. Later in the evening Mrs. Roose- velt entertained a small company at dinner. Following the dinner a musical program featured Miss Jean Christian, harpist. Other artists included Howard University Glee Club, with Roy Tibbs as director and Caterina Parboro, soprano, and her accompanist, Mr. Callinicos and Mr. Todd Duncan, baritone. : The program began with twe numbers by Miss Christian—“Bal- lade,” by Zabel, and “Six Noels,” by Tournier. The Glee Club then sang “Tenebrae Factae Sunt,” by Pales- trina; “In the Time of Rose,” by Reichardt, and “Echo Song,” by Orlando di Lasso. Miss Jarboro’s songs included “Monologue et air d’Iphegenie,” by Gluck, and “I Shall Awake,” by Kramer, and she was followed on the program by Mr. Duncan, who sang “On Mah Jour- ney,” by Boatner; “Walk With Me,” by Rhoades, and the ‘“Buzzard Song” from “Porgy and Bess,” by Gershwin. The Glee Club then sang a group of Negro spirituals, includ- ing “Blow, Gabriel,” “Every Time I Feel the Spirit” and “Lift Thine . .” Miss Jarboro’s two songs, “Sylnelin Sinding” and “Grieve Not, Beloved,” by La Forge, were followed by the concluding num- bers, rendered by Miss Christian, which included “Serenade,” by Braga-Hasselmans; “Waltz in A REPAIRED Clarence Jones as accompanist; Miss | known Scot —monologist, Flat,” by Brahms-Salzedo, and “Lolita la Danseuse,” by Tournier. Colombian Patriot Is Honored. At the Colombian Embassy, on Twentieth street, Dr. Gabriel Tur- bay, the Colombian Ambassador, re- ceived his guests with the Counselor of the Embassy, Senor Daniel Sam- per-Ortega. They stood in the hall to greet the callers, who then went into the drawing room or the large ballroom, where delicious refresh- ments and dainy dishes were placed on the long and beautifully- decorated table. The occasion com- memorated the 100th anniversary of the death of Santander—the great Colombian patriot. Among the guests, who were most- ly representatives of the pan-Ameri- can nations, were a number of the early arrivals among the delegates who will attend the American Scien- tific Congress. The large rooms of the Embassy were filled with flowers, which matched the brightly-hued dresses and hats of the feminine callers. The Chilean Ambassador and Senora de Cabrero and the Mexican Ambassador and Senora de Castillo Najera were present, as were Senora de Espil, wife of the Argentine Am- bassador; the French Ambassador, | Count de Saint-Quentin; the Bra- zilian Ambassador, Senor Carlos Martins; the Minister of the Do- minican Republic and Senora de | Pastoriza, the Cuban Military At- tache and Senora de Munilla, the Honduras Minister and Senora de Caceres, the German Charge d’Af- faires and Frau Thomsen and the Minister of Uruguay, Dr. Jose Rich- ling. Dr. Thomas Parran, Surgeon Gen- eral of the United States Public Health Service, was present with Mrs. Parran; Mrs. Sol Bloom, wife | of Representative Bloom, was ac- companied by their daughter, Miss Vera Bloom, and others present were Dr. and Mrs. Hugh Cumming, Dr. and Mrs. James O'Donnell Moran, Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Duggan, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Lee Pierson, Mrs. Thomas Dawson and Mr. Robert F.

There have been many gay and charming parties at the 1925 F Street Club since the doors of this popular rendezvous were opened. Check off another friendly and de- |- lightful affair given there, for yes- terday Mrs. H. Williams Jones and Miss Hazel Grant Edgar added to the history of the club another jolly and happy party that will linger long in the memories of those who were in on the fun. ‘The guest, all close friends and assoclates of “Mary and Hazel,” ar- rived early and stayed late. In fact, long after the closing hour there were guests who just would not go home. It might be well to add, too, that the gracious hostesses were as reluctant as their guests in having their party brought to a close. Garden Is Popular Spot for Guests. It was in the garden that guests lingered the longest, and it is little wonder that no one wished to make a departure from the scene. Small tables and rustic garden chairs were placed under the trees and animated and interesting conversa- tion was heard as little groups got together. Even the sun came out perfect day for this lovely party. The hostesses received in the pleasant drawing room but after awhile they joined their guests in the garden. Mrs. Jones was a hand- some figure in her blue and white print gown worn with a matching redingote. Her dark blue straw hat, with the crown appliqued with flowers in soft blue and rose shades, was unusually becoming to her beautiful snow white hair. Miss Edgar chose for the occasion a blue and white silk dress made with a short box jacket and she wore a wide-brimmed, dark blue hat. Both hostesses wore a cluster of butterfly orchids, Mrs. Jones' white and Miss Edgar's in a pale orchid hue. Also Anniversary Of Himes Wedding. Whether yesterday’s hostesses realized they chose as the date for the entertainment the anniversary of the wedding of their close friends, former Representative and Mrs. Joseph Himes, is not known. At any rate it added interest to the occa- sion and Mr. and Mrs. Himes were congratulated on all sides. Marlynn Himes was with her par- ents as was her brother, Mr. Can- field Himes who had earlier pre- sented his mother with a cluster of orchids in honor of her 25th wed- ding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Himes went to the Washington Air- port from the F Street Club for New York where a dinner party was given in their honor. A flower-decked tea table was laid at one side of the dining room and taking turn about in serving tea and coffee in the course of the afternoon were Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, Mrs. Wallach Merriam, Mrs. John C. Fremont, Mrs. Eldridge Jordan and Miss Genevieve Wimsatt. Representative Edith Nourse Rogers slipped away from her duties on the Hill to attend and remained for sometime and among others who enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the popular hostesses were Senator and Mrs. Warren R. Austin, Mrs. John R. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Nor- man Underwood. Mrs. Henry La- trobe Roosevelt, Mrs. Randall Hag- ner, Mrs. Willlam MacCracken, jr.; (See PARTY, Page B- from its long seclusion to give a |_ Miss | MRS. MILTON EVERETT GALLINANT.
