FROM all we have heard from friends in New York lately, the
Colony Restaurant is still a favorite spot for both luncheon
and dinner and next week we hope to go to N. Y. C. ourselves
for a few days so that we can confirm this • talk.” It seems
as though there has not been the same exodus from New York,
for Southern climes, as there has been from our own city of
Washington, from a letter with news of the "doings" of our friends
it sounded as if the city was teaming with people.
Re the Colony, we quote: .. at a table in the corner we
noticed Sir Michael Duff, Ina Claire, Princess Paley. Carroll
Carstairs, Nancy Weldon and Rudolph Kommer. This table
was oj particular interest, as all the women carried their hats,
instead of wearing them, which seems to be the present vogue
here, as several other women present were doing the same
thing; at another table Charley Schivab and Mrs. Irene Dunne
sampled crepe suzettes. Prince Ferdinand o) Liechtenstein
lunched with a striking young man who turned out to be the
well-known Italian artist Alberto Grecchi. Clad in broadtail
and silver foxes, we noticed a smart threesome, Mrs. Julian
Allen, the former Alice Harding; Mrs. Tiffany Saportas and
Mrs Seton Porter. Princess Gaetani. wearing one of those
new off-the-face hats with a veil, arrived with Mrs. Sigourney
Thayer; Ralph Pulitzer was lunching with Allister McIntosh
and several others. At still another table we saw Mrs. George
Garrett’s sister, Mrs. Bobby Clarkson, in her usual good form
with Mrs Harvey Gibson. Both were beautifully dressed and
as attractive as ever. Afterward we strolled around the corner
to the 7th Regiment Armory, where the indoor tennis cham
pionship was being played. Via bus and taxi we returned,
home to change for cocktails and headed for the Madison bar.
and who should stroll in there to join us but Leslie Howard
“Home for another change and off to the Metropolitan Opei
to hear the immortal voice of Kirsten Flagstad in the role of Elsu
von Brabant, the luckless heroine of Wagner’s ’Lohengrin.’ Be
tween acts we adjourned upstairs to the bar. which was teemin'
with people and each woman seemed more bejeweled and bedecked
than her sister. After the opera the -Iridium Room’ at the St.
Regis was on our schedule Consuming ‘chicken a la king, wo
witnessed a hectic rhumba show, the master of ceremonies was th"
young roller skater who officiated at Grover Whalen's dinner for
the New York World Fair and astonished every one by his similarity
to Robert Montgomery, the movie actor. There we tripped the
light fantastic beneath the flattering beige-toned roof hung with
mirrors. Later some one suggested going on to ’El Morocco and
we were on the move once more. ... ,
That may be a day and night In New York, but upon enterin'’
the gay and friendly interior of the Sulgrave Club last night for
the Friday supper club dance, we decided that the "old familiar
things” are the best! Friends to the right and friends to the left,
all smiling and in good form. Eugene O Dunn and Steve Spingarr.
were in one corner of the room having their white ties expertiy
retied by Mrs. Edward Townsend from Florida, who is none other
than Jack Victor’s sister. Mrs. Andrew Hero, formerly Gertrude
Faust in a blue taffeta, down from West Point for the week end.
was being given a rush by old admirers of her debutante years.
The Aldace Walkers made us envious with details of an immediate
trip which will take them to Florida for 10 days or so. Kate Hyde
Scully in white taffeta which made her Florida sunburn most
exotic,’ was with Mary Cootes and her brother Merritt. "Peter"
McHarg in green, just back from Mexico, sat on the steps witn
Benjie Plunket and Philip Broad, while Jock McLean and Mary
Lou Marsh Julie Dell Zimmerman and Jerry McDowell gathered
on the sofa on the landing. Among those who gave dinners
last night was Anne Perin, at whose table we ran into Gertrude
Laughlin with Howard Chanler, the young Gale McLeans and the
Walter Whites. Kitty Dubois also entertained at dinner as did
Mrs. William Mann and the Morris Clarks.
