FLOWERS m _ OUPONT CIRCLE (edar Hill Cemetery 4 By the Way— Beth Blaine — , 'J'HI Sulgrave Club last night seemed almost as if it were a private debut dance—*o many of the younger set were in evidence. While the orchestra played waltzes, tangoes, jazz and blues. It wasn’t until after supper that the crescendo was reached, when the "shag” or "flea hop” became the order of the night; and did every one enjoy themselves? Stelita Stapleton confessed that she had never danced it before, yet she and Gordon Brown were enthusiastically applauded; not far away Ruth Tuckerman in a blue and wine gown manipu lated several breath-taking skyward hops with Eugene O’Dunn, who seemed to know what he was about; on the other hand, Mrs. John Reybum and Conny Orme ended their dance rather suddenly, but were promptly helped by sur rounding friends. All during the evening Mrs. John Williams sat In her favorite place near the ball room door while friends came and went. Betty Shouse was there in a black gown with red incrustations, and her sister Marion in henna taffeta tripping the light fantasique with James Sappinton, also Mary Cootes in white satin with an inter esting shoulder arrangement of chrysanthemums of tawny hue. In the rotunda room at a center table was a gay party given by Jock McLean and his brother, and we saw Mary Lou Marsh wandering about in a gold lace frock with Emmons Smith. The three loveliest white dresses of the evening were Audrey Campbell's white satin urith a net applique design, tall and graceful Angelica Loyd’s diaphanous white tulle over cloth of silver and petite and dainty Eleanor Roosevelt's plain white crepe. As the evening progressed more and more groups arrived. Mrs. George Pulver in a halter neck white satin dress with Natalie Campbell Pritchett in a black fringe frock with a flower in her hair, and at another large table we saw Prank Currie, Laura Tuckerman, Larry Knapp and the Morris Clarks. In the dance room we glimpsed Mr. and Mrs. Mathews Dick Shirley In dead black and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dewey, Mrs. Dewey as usual in a soft color—gray, to be exact—which makes an excellent background for her piquant brunette beauty, also Brinkley Smithers at whose table were Mrs. Sims Snow and Mrs. William Mann, David van Buren and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Thorne. The honors for belles of the evening were divided between dainty little Ethel Worthington and Margo Garrett, whose swirling black lace frock was kept constantly in the swing, while Mrs. Jaspar Du Bose in black velvet threatened to put them all in the shade. Nancy Utter mixed business with pleasure and collected subscriptions most success fully for the Thrift Shop’s new magazine, the Thrifty Frolics. Black seemed the favorite color for the young set and Martha Davidge’s black taffetta with velvet bands was most becoming. Mimi Scott, also in black, was seen waltzing with Jimmy Parks. Others seen and heard were Dorothy Cassard, in white, chatting with Walter White and Ricardo Siri of the Argentine Embassy; Christine Long sitting on the steps with Giorgio Bombassei-Frascani, Italian vice consul from Pittsburgh, whom Billy Mitchell tried unsuccessfully several times to initiate into the great American custom of “cutting in,” but from which he shied doubtfully; Mike McConhie and Margurite Hagner heading for supper; Alice Graeme, tall, distinguished and attractive, with tall Maury Hansen; Maj. and Mrs. Heywood of the British Embassy, also British Philip Broad and Benjie Plunkett; while in one corner of the room Tommy Moorehead and vivacious Louise Alexander monopolized the rights of • first come” in a hectic tempo. In the stag line were the familiar faces of Jimmy Mitchell. Sammy Biddle, Frederic Drum Hunt, Henry Whitney, Hector Leguizamon, Lieut. Bunch, the Marquis of SanfOrsola, Nathan Bartlett and Harold De Voe, as well as a hundred others, who danced to the wee small hours and left, re gretting that the next meeting is scheduled for January 8, which literally seems eons away.
