J RIS Capt. and Senora de Saenz Honored at Farewell Party,- High Light of Week End Informal Buffet Supper Given By Mr. and Mrs. Frank Waring Among Social Features Parties yesterday were fewer and smaller than they have been for many week ends—perhaps the reaction after the whirlwind of entertain ing for the debutantes and the students who were here for the holidays: However, the farewell party for the ryr.lrinx Air Attache of the Chilean Embassy and Senora de Saenz and several small and informal buffet suppers, teas and cocktail parties were highlights of the social calendar. The Air Attache and Senora de Saenz will return to their native Jand shortly, Senora de Saenz starting the long journey this week. Group Capt. Saenz plans to make the trip by air later in the month. Yesterday they were honor guests of Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Verges, in their attractive home on upper Sixteenth street. Guests were invited for the late afternoon hours and included the Spanish Ambassador, Senor Juan de Cardenas, without Senora de Cardenas, who is in New York for A& week's visit; the Ecuador Ambassador, Senor Capt. Colon Elroy Alfaro; the Honduras Minister and Senora de Caceres, the Costa Rica Minister and Senora de Fernandez, and 40 or 50 others from the Latin American group of diplomats.

By the Way— Beth Blaine Wearing & black crepe afternoon frock, with the sheerest and frilliest of ruffies about the throat and a new shoulder-length glamour girl hair-do, Mrs. Marye Thomas arrived in town yesterday. She’s staying with her mother, Mrs. George Marye, who will give a dinner for her tomorrow night at the 1925 P Street Club . . . and before she came back {0 her “old home town” she went to New York for some shopping. When you've been “ranching” it in Nevada (or any place else) for more than a year you need a complete change of wardrobe for sophisticated town parties. Without even bothering to unpack her bags, Helen Thomas came straightway over to Mrs. McKeldin Thorne's at cocktail time—for a party in her honor. I¢ was nne of those so much in vogue now, a “come-for-cocktails-and-stay-for-supper” party, so every one wore street clothes and came whenever it was convenient. (The great advantage of this type of party in these busy times.) Long before supper started we were all so full of tasty little hors d'oeuvres that we might almost have dispensed with the steaming and very lavish plates of chicken and Virginia ham and salad and hot biscuits. However, we did very well by them! There were some very attractive and interesting guests at the party. Among them was Mrs. Martin Scanlan, wife of Gen. “Mike” Scanlan, who has been our Military Attache at the American Embassy in London. They've seen some exciting times there, but are both reticent about them. Mrs. Sutherland Mayo was regaling several fascinated listeners with a tale of her stay in Berlin, when she was taken by friends to Hitler's apartment (before he was really in power). It was all modernistic and done in pale colors. Even then Hitler objected to smoking . ., he thinks it pollutes the air! But to go on with the guests . . . Mrs. Noyes Lewis was there and Eddie Gardner and Mrs. Pearsons Rust, back from several days’ visiting with the Willlam Fahnestocks on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Mrs. Rust wore & black dress with our favorite hat— paje, pale blue with the sheer tulle veil tied under the chin (the same hat which caused Mike McConihe to ask her one afternoon if she had a sore throat!) Then also there were Marshall Exnicios, Fred Roy, George Abell, Bill McAvoy, “Doggie” Waggman, Horace Luttrell, Clarence Hewes, Mr.,and Mrs. Alfred Miller and Larry Bungardeanu. Earlier in the afternoon we dropped in at the Snowden Fahnestocks' to have a cocktail with the Fahnestocks and the Angier Dukes. Mr. Duke is in the Army now, stationed at Camp Lee, and they were only in town for the day. Mrs, Duke is lovely to look at ... blond and petite, and yesterday wore black with heavy gold bracelets and clips and a tiny pill-box hat with a sheer black lace snood. James Beck was there, too—he's in and out of Washington now, but not just for parties, it’s big business this time. You've read all about the Flather party, but one thing you have not read is that the hit of the evening was host “Bill” Flather, who went as the county sheriff. He was simply marvelous! Cow- boys were all over the place and Spanish senoritas . . . and the decorations were unbelievably beautiful. “Jock” Merriam took some pictures (not for publication) which should be fun if they turn out well. Eric Taff says that every one thinks he's gone to France for the Red | Cross as he was scheduled to do some time ago. Well, he’s still here (or | was at this writing), living in his attractive little apartment on Florida avenue just off Massachusetts. AND . BY THE WAY— Most prized possession of Diana Hopkins, daughter of Harry Hopkins, | is the enormous stuffed animal which is a cross between Mickey Mouse and a panda, with real honest-to-goodness curling eyelashes. It was presented | to her as a Christmas present from Prime Minister Churchill.
