By the Way—
- Beth Blaine -
HURSDAY turned out to be a very busy and pleasant day.
At 12:30 we started out by motor with the Jouett Shouses for
the opening race at Bowie. What a glorious day it was, the
air soft and balmy and the trees almost in bloom—in fact, we
saw one dogwood tree entirely out!
There were two cars trailing each other and with us was
Mrs. Higginson Rogers in a most becoming tweed tailleur with
a rose colored jacket and a gray blue skirt and Mrs. Shouse,
who wore a very good looking red and black checked costume.
We stopped along the way for a delicious picnic lunch and
thoroughly enjoyed Nina Rogers’ contribution of iced
champagne!
Bowie was packed with a tremendous throng of race enthusi
asts. The Shouses did not have any horses running that day.
However, that did not seem to dim our excitement. Mathews Dick
joined us and many other friends from Washington.
We motored back to the city in the twilight of the lovely Spring
day in time to drop in on the Walter Edges, who leave today for
California, and from there will go to Honolulu. They will be away
about six weeks. This was a farewell cocktail party and we arrived
to find the beautiful drawing room filled with congenial people
laughing and talking. Marion Trumbull was pouring tea and
sitting beside her was Mrs. Dwight Davis, who was wearing the
loveliest print frock with a black background with butterflies,
large and small, in gay colors, scattered all over. Mrs. Edward
Reed was sporting the most becoming blue and black twisted
turban and a sumptuous silver fox cape. Mrs. Richard Wiggles
worth and Mrs. Harold Sims were enveloped in beautiful silver
fox capes also.
We saw Mr. and Mrs ueorge uarreu, Mrs. nooeri now nacon
Mrs. Pearsons Rust, Mrs. Emory Sands, Mr. and Mrs. Emmons
Smith, all looking like the spirit of Spring. The Alexander Walkers
of Honolulu, the Herman Phlegers of San Francisco, Mrs. Ingalls
Sard and Pendleton Turner came in late.
We ate our fill, and more besides, of delicious iced caviar
and wonderful hot biscuits with Virginia ham. for the excite
ment of the races had made us ravenous. The Edges have
spent so little time in Washington this Winter we hope when
they return in May they will plan to stay here for more than
a few days!
From the Edges we rushed home to dress for an 8 o'clock dinner
with Kemper Simpson, to which we arrived late, due to our taxi
driver! Often in this city one hails a taxi and finds that the driver
is “an old friend.” and that night was no exception. The driver be
came so fascinated telling us about his brother who had won five
out of seven races that afternoon at Bowie that we suddenly found
we had driven blocks past Dr. Simpson’s house!
Speaking of the Simpson house, it is just filled with rare paint
ings and sketches, for Kemper is a collector and knows what he
i is about. To the right are Gainsborough and Lawrence sketches,
to the left paintings by Degas and Haas, a most interesting Goya
over the mantle and Derain is represented in the collection. So
now we know' what Kemper is doing when he takes a quick trip up
to New York!
* * * *
BABIES, and more babies' Again we make an announce
ment of a birth. News has reached us that Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Grimes are being congratulated upon the birth of a
daughter, born last week in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Grimes
are well known in Washington and we know that their friends
in this city w'ill be glad to hear this piece of neics. Mrs. Grimes
before her marriage was Louise Ireland.
^ jR. AND MRS. SNOWDEN FAHNESTOCK are coming to Wash
| ington for a week’s visit with Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock the end
of the month. During their visit they will give a small dinner
dance at 1925 F street. Though the date has been set for Thursday
evening. April 29. the invitations are not out yet. That is a party
to look forward to, for by the end of the month the garden at 1925
F will be in perfect shape and every small dance given there in
the Spring and Summer is a success.
* * * *
LA®T night every one who could make it was on hand to attend
the last of the Friday Sulgrave Supper Club dances. A large
sign, at the entrance, greeted the eye “Goodbve until November.”
Another sign asked co-operation not to make it a flop as the
occasion was dedicated to the Easter bunny hop. And nop they
did, and with Meyer Davis in person, the orchestra played until
4 o'clock, instead of the usual 2:30.”
”Free drinks” were the order of the evening, and cham
pagne floiced pleasantly. Strange but true, milk seemed
more priceless than wine, for every sicain who went in search
of a glass for his lady fair discovered that he had to dig into
his pocket for the required sum.
Mrs. John R. Williams xvas at her accustomed table by the door
and seated at her right was Miss Mabel Boardman. As we said
before, every one was there, it was a record attendance for the
year, with some 350 persons present. Now that this series is over.
Washington will face a let-down after six months spent in pleasant
anticipation and general get-togethers, which occurred every other
Friday night. However, we can only thank the committee and
originators of these unique dances which afford so much pleasure,
adding “Novmeber can’t come soon enough! !”
