POWELL CLAYTON’S cheery tea on Tuesday brougnt rortn a con genial group of friends, who sat about chatting on the lovely, cool upstairs veranda. Among the guests were petite and dainty Mrs. Marshall Langhorne, wearing soft flowered chiffon with a lace collar and cuffs, and her nice, very tall, good looking husband; the Nelson Perins, Col. and Mrs. Sherman Miles, all smiles over their daughter’s engagement, and many otners, including E. Pendleton Turner, known better to his friends as Pen. Pen is one of the most beloved and amusing bachelors in Washington. He is a rugged individualist—if he likes you, you can do no wrong. Perhaps Bill Smoky, Pen’s thoroughbred wire-haired fox, who was his Inseparable companion for nine years, inherited the same sense of loyalty. Few dogs are remembered and missed as much as Smoky, and somehow we never see Pen walking along the street that we don't see a little shadowy wire-haired at his heels, and to this day Pen unconsciously says; “We will walk up to sea you soon.” Blessed with a grand sense of humor, Pen’s stones on himself are just as amusing as those told by friends. One that always made us laugh Immensely was of Pen’s coming home very late one night and laboriously climbing the three flights of stairs that lead to his delightful apartment in Georgetown. As he searched for the keyhole he could hear Smoky on the other side of the door eagerly awaiting him. He opened the door, called “Come on, Smoky.” What was more natural than Smoky should spring through the door in response. That’s what Pen thought. Preoccupied, the grave master went on the usual stroll absorbed in his own thoughts and presuming Smoky was visiting his old and customary haunts. On returning, Pen climbed the stairs again, unlocked tne door, and there, in the apartment, sat Smoky, still patiently waiting to be taken out on his nightly walk! m v w * JIJANY Washingtonians will remember Marshal Badoglio, now of Ethiopian fame, and formerly, in 1922, a member of the Dis armament Conference. Marshal Badoglio is a very modest, shy per son and it was only through devious sources that we heard of his recent great service to his country, when he turned the defeat of Piave into a victory for Italy. For this he was well rewarded by being decorated with the Croce D'Oro, the highest military decoration in Italy. * # * * MR AND MRS. MARIO RODRIGUEZ, a very popular young couple, have recently returned from a six-month wedding trip. We all had hoped | that they would remain with us in Washington for a long time, but it appears that six months is about as long a stay as we can count on. Senor Rodriguez is attached to the Chilean Embassy, and Senora Rodriguez is the former Margery Talman, who, as well as being an F. F. V., is well identified j with Washington. * * * * rJ1HE Marchessa Da Jetta, who made her debut in Washington a* Martina Jones, has been visiting Mrs. Sumner Wells on her beauti ful estate at Oion Hill in Maryland.

Their son, who is in the diplomatic service, at the present time at the League of Nations, is married to a Visconti Moderna. * * * * ^MBASSADOR BRECKINRIDGE LONG has arrived in Washington on leave, and how long he will remain no one seems to know. The Italians fear that he will not return to Rome, due to ill health. If this should be the case it will be a real disappointment, as the Long family has made a host of friends in Rome and will be greatly missed. carried a shower bouquet of Spring flowers.
