The Sables’ hospitable house on O street was filled to overflowing with uniforms and still more uniforms, for a tea was given in honor of the commanding officer, Capt. Latham, and the officers of the French training ship Jeanne D’Arc, anchored at Baltimore. The Jeanne D’Arc has 100 midshipmen aboard, of whom 30-odd were present yesterday. Mme Sable, in a steel-colored gown of faille, received with Cavt Latham and Admiral Sable, both resplendent in gold braid. The Sables have been popular members of Washington socieiv for the past three years, and our host’s recent elevation to the rank oj admiral has delighted his many admirers, as his advancement has been conceded him several years prior to the usual age limit. _ _. Tne Swiss Minisier ana mme. rcwi wac auiuus ’ and nearby Mme. de Bianchi, in a fur-trimmed suit, with her hus band, the Portugese Minister, and her daughter Miss Sibilla Skidelsky, looking very chic in a black gown, undoubtedly acquired during her recent shopping trip to New York. The hostess was assisted in receiving by the wives of the secre taries of the embassy, also Mile. Simone Gaucheron, who has re turned to spend the remainder of the season with her brother, M. Roger Gaucheron, first secretary of the French Embassy. Mme. Champsaur, in a becoming off-the-face hat, moved among the guests, presenting the young midshipmen to the numerous attractive girls present Outstanding among them was Caroline Cecil, who will make her debut next Winter. On a convenient sofa we glimpsed Mrs Joseph Cecil in a black broadtail cape with Mrs. Russell-Ben nett whose cartwheel taffeta hat and black pleated sheer with touches of gold was most becoming. Mme. Nikola Perazic, in an ankle-length coat of broadtail trimmed with silver fox, joined the couch-sitters, and among those paying their respects to this chic triumvirate was the Yugoslav Minister, Mr. Fotitch; Dr. Rastko Petrovic and Nikky Perazic. Without exaggeration, Mme. Charles Lucet and Mme. Charles Saint were the belles of the afternoon, and when we say that we counted as many as seven officers and midship men dogging their footsteps, refusing to be sidetracked with presentations, we are not giving you the lie! The officers and midshipmen were the handsomest and most amusing group of men we have been fortunate to find together in a long time. Most of them are tall and blond, with clear-cut fea tures and blue eyes. One in particular, Lieut. Ferte, whose length of limb would rival Gary Cooper’s, seemed most attractive. The majority of the midshipmen are over 25 years of age; the French Navy grades its officers differently from our Navy. They enter the academy at 19 or older and by the time they graduate they hold the rank of a junior lieutenant. One in particular, Midshipman Roger, a tall, blond Breton, the possessor of “beaucoup d’esprit,’’ was most sympathetic, relative to our Middies, who enter at 16 and are so young that they are kept in for four years! However, a French midshipman, providing his grades are good, is entitled to as much leave as is thought advisable during his three years of training. , „ A , A cinema wmi a navai udc^iuuuu ucvci iauo «■ of “buddies,” who pal around together, and such was the combina tion presented by Jean-Guy de Vandiere de Vitrac, whose tallness and Adonis-like profile is as imposing as his name, and Iwes Lenough, whose round merry face and retrousse nose proclaimed him the humorous member of this duet. Asked how they liked America they answered without hesitation. “I like your post cards ... I like your records .. . those I no like, my friend he do... we like the color of your automobiles . . . and neither of us like inquisitive women!” Recovering from the last sally we managed to get on the subject of the American girl, and imagine our astonish ment when De Vandiere de Vitrac and Lenough announced they didn’t like the American girl! Why? “Bien, you see it’s this way, she eez all right, but we don’t like her boy friends!” In France a girl has one boy friend, but in America it’s plural! Further investi gation disclosed that these sailors greatly resent upon their return ! to their ship at 10 in the evening finding several “boy friends” ■ waiting on the dock to take their girl for a joy ride! Moving in and out of the brilliant throng we glimpsed Mrs. Claud Swanson, wife of the Secretary of the Navy; Gen. and Mrs. Dion Williams, Miss Evelyn Peyton Gordon, the naval attache of the Italian Embassy, who is just back from Cali fornia, and his charming wife, Marchesa di San’Orsola; the Counselor of the Cuban Embassy and Senora Baron, and many, many others. When Mme Bonnet, wife of the French Ambassador, returns from Charleston Sunday Washington will have a second chance i of remeeting these delightful officers at the reception which she and the Ambassador will give at the Embassy Monday afternoon, to which we have all been told to bring cards of admittance.
