gPRING came to the Sulgrave Club Saturday night, when Audry Campbell
entertained at a most lovely dance. The club took on a completely differ
ent atmosphere, which after weeks of holly, mistletoe, Christmas trees and
polnsettias, was indeed a welcome sight. Everywhere, on every available
table and in every corner, were great huge vases of bright yellow flowers and
masses of forsythia and a touch of pinkish yellow gladiola. Around the cornice
were draped vines with silver leaves, intermingled with green.
Audry, small and fair, looked very sweet in a white tulle dress
with a very, very full skirt which billowed out when she danced—when
she finally left her post at the head of the stairs where, alone, she
greeted her 200 guests. In her hair she wore her fascinating diamond
and emerald tiara, the loveliest one we have ever seen, as it is of very
delicate workmanship and not in any way top heavy, and about her
neck a necklace to match.
Visiting Audry were the Albert Franekes of New York and Amos Enos,
who came down from Princeton just for the party. It was a really good dance
In every respect. Excellent music, delicious champagne and plenty of it, and
best of all there were just the right number of people—never too crowded to
do some serious dancing and now and then a waltz, yet plenty of attractive,
well-dressed people around to make it thoroughly gay.
Before the dance Mrs. Joseph Leiter gave a dinner, but when we
got there if turned out that Tommy Leiter was both host and hostess,
as the lady members of his family, Mrs. Leiter and sister Nancy, had
taken to their beds with “la grippe " Tommy is an excellent host and
the dinner was in every way a successful one. There must have been
about 70 guests, and dinner was served at five tables in the ball
room—one long one in the center and ft others seating 10 each.
From Warrenton came the Amory Car ts and the George Sloanes, who
also attended the Leiter dinner. Also the Kenneth Gilpins from near Boyce,
Va. Mrs. Gilpin was looking too lovely in a red lace dress, which was mo6t
becoming to her fair skin, and there, too, we spied the Bill Dollars.
The royal Italian Ambassador and Senora de Suvich were among
the guests at the dance and others noted were the Netherlands Min
ister and Mme. de With, both as always charming and ever welcome,
and the Polish Ambassador seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
As usual, there were several tables of serious bridge players, including
Mrs. John Wilkins and Mrs. Henry Spencer, Philip Mainwahng Broad
mead, Myron Hofer, the Philip Coffins and Mrs. Breckinridge Long.
Some confusion was caused by Mme. de With and Mrs. Ben Thoron.
wearing dresses of the same color and shade, for several young men cut in on
Mme. l'Ambassadress. to whom they had never been introduced, thinking that
she was Violet Thoron. Fortunately, Mme. de With is not a terrifying person,
so it all passed off very pleasantly!! It was nice to see Mrs. Kenneth Jenkins
up and about—and very much so, for she is the picture of health and full
of energy, after her dreadful accident of some weeks ago. when she was run
away with while out driving with Tommy Leiter down in Virginia and thrown
out of the buggy.
Here's hoping for more nice dances like the one Saturday night, though
it would be a relief to have a slight rest for a few days and nights after the6«
last hopelessly hectic weeks! I
