DEAR MISS DIX: You write often and caustically about philandering husbands. This puts a bug of suspi- cion into many a woman reader’s ear. "I am not taking the part of erring spouses. but I want to tell wives that their jealousies and con- | stant nagging, plus the abuse of their husbands’ faithful office as- sistants or secretaries, do more than any other one thing to turn other- wise domestic men into rounders. No decent man likes to have his honor questioned and to be under suspicion every time he is late for dinner. Nor does he like to have his meals spoiled by a tirade of vituperation against the imagined evil woman in his office with whom he is supposed to be having an affair If these senseless wives would make friends out of the wom- en employes in their husbands’ offices, the husbands would not have to defend them and in that way be- come interested in them, very often out of pity. Most men want to be trusted instead of nagged. i A PROFESSIONAL MAN. Answer—These are words that every wife should memorize and say over to herself when she | tempted to get green-eyed when she looks at the slim little blond in her | husband’s office and wonders why | | he had to pick out “Miss America” to write his business letters. Probably it is not in nature for | the legal wife not to be jealous of the office wife, who knows so much more about her husband's affairs | than she does. and whom he treats with so much more politeness than he does her. But going off of the ! deep end and making scenes over the situation isn't the way to han- dle it. | For, contrary to the fixed belief | of many wives, there is very little | philandering done in business offices | In_business hours.

For the most part the men and women who work together see each other stripped of all glamour. and | they are far more likely to fall in | love with strangers than they are with each other.

Cotillion Held In Montgomery Several small parties were held last night preceding the Montgom- | ery County Cotillion. One of the largest groups met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leander Stuart in Bethesda for a cocktail party before the dance. Assistant hosts were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Imirie. Last night's party was the third dance this young people’s group have held since the organization was started. The cotillion music as well as the dances were strictly modern, but just before the intermission the chair- man of the Board of Governors, Mr. Donald Imirie, and Mrs. Imirie, in- troduced a cotillion walk that proved one of the most delightful features of the evening. Led by Mr. and Mrs. Imirie the cotillion formed a figure which ended in the letters “M.

E. *¥ AT ‘Republican Women Hold Garden Fete Annual Event at Grosvenor Estate Attended by 600 With weather “made to order” for a garden party, the annual fete of the League of Republican Women | yesterday on the spacious lawns of Wild Acres, country estate of Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, was a pronounced success, with approxi- mately 600 in attendance. More than 100 tables were placed in the receiving rooms, on the ver- andas and out under the trees, where those who played cards might en- joy the singing of the birds for which the Grosvenor place is fa- mous. A table fairly groaning under a load of layer cakes and cookies. contributed by different members, stood under a spreading mulberry tree, attracting many before they took their places at the card tables. A candy table, with homemade and boxed sweets, also was placed under the trees and was patronized throughout the afternoon by players, who either sent to the table for can- dies while at cards. or made pur- chases from Mrs. Grosvenor's young grandson, Gilbert Grosvenor Coville Mrs. Grosvenor's granddaughter, | Miss Joan Blair, recently arrived | from Florida. and her daughter, Mrs. Cabot Coville, whose husband | was former Second Secretary of the | American Embassy at Tokio, also as- sisted at the party. Many who did not play cards en- joyed walking through the grounds, where famous shrubberies. plants and flowers were never more beau- tiful than yesterday. Tucked away among shrubs were two fortune tellers, Mrs. Mary Butt and Mrs George Madden Grimes, whose gypsy bandanas gave them a professional appearance. Their popularity was apparent from the number of patrons waiting to have palms read. Guests arriving in cars were able to purchase tickets from Mrs. William H. Scott, stationed at a booth at one side of the driveway. Receiving were Mrs. Grosvenor, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, presi- dent of the league, and Mrs. G. Louis Weller. chairman of the Gar- den Party Committee. Mrs. Grosvenor wore a becoming fioor-length frock of flowered chif- fon. and Mrs. Gann a figured chiffon of powder blue with an at- tractive large hat to match. Mrs. Weller had chosen a natural-color blocked linen with vivid red sailor hat and bag of the same shade. An interesting feature of the afternoon was the raffling of ‘wo cakes, one a Lady Baltimore, the other a cream cake bearing a tinv elephant on top with the label “On to Victory.” Prizes for the card winners were attractive flower vases and bowls of hob-nailed glass- ware. Among the later arrivals who en- joyed refreshments following the card games were Mrs. Arthur Van- denberg and Mrs. Charles L. Mc- Nary, wives of the Senators from Michigan and Oregon. Mrs. Vir- ginia White Speel, founder of the league, also was a late arrival. as were Mrs. William Fitch Kelly and Mrs. Cooper Rhodes.
