RUSSELL SARD gave a delightful tea yesterday afternoon in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Walker of Honolulu, and the Marquis Jacques de Veyrac, who has been in Honolulu for the past few years. He has been lighting, by the new reflected lighting system, most of the beautiful gardens of Honolulu including that of the Walter Dillingham's, which is world famous. The rooms ivere crowded with smart Washingtonians. We were so glad to see Mrs. John Gibbons, who has just returned from spending the Winter at Palm Beach, where she and Capt. Gibbons have bought a lovely new home. Mrs. John Dwight is in town for a short visit. She has been in Honolulu for the Winter and is about to start out on the North Cape cruise. Mrs. John Phillip Hill was looking smart in a brown outfit and Mrs. William McCracken in black and yellow poured tea and Mrs. Henry Roosevelt was at the opposite end of the tea table. Mrs. Emory Sands in a lovely flowered print was going on to Lady Lewis’ cocktail party, but we stayed on late chatting with friends and then dropped in at Evie and Chip Robert's—there was great excitement at the Roberts’ as out-of-town guests were arriv ing for the party tonight including the Joe Robinsons from At lanta. Mrs. Jim Farley, Jack and Lisa Kennedy from New York Jimmie Cromwell and Sol Rosenblatt—all old friends and we were so glad to see them. The Max Gardners and Charlie Michaelson all arrived just as we were leaving. They were dining informally in the Farley's apartment and were promising an “early” evening, especially Jimmie Cromwell, who had not been to bed early for about six nights! Some of the guests were talking about the Cromwell’s wonderful party for President Quezon of the Philippines, given a few nights before in New York—it must have been very fine, from all reports. AT LUNCHEON yesterday at Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins’ we learned that the John Caswells have taken the house at Blue mont. for this Summer, that the Brazilian Ambassador and Mme Aranha had last year. Betsy Mary de Sibour was at luncheon, too and full of plans for the gay week end ahead, which she and Blaise will spend with the Jack Hinckleys. Mrs. Jimmie Roosevelt was among Mrs. Robbin’s guests, also Mrs. "Paddy” Day, to whom we gave the verbal prize of being the last word in trimness, wearing the most beautifully cut and tailored tweed suit and perfectly polished brown shoes. * * * * AND MRS. BRINKLEY SMITHERS entertained yesterday, too. for Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Lamont, jr„ of New York and Darien. Conn. The Lamonts arrived two weeks ago and plan to make their home in Washington, specializing in some sort of machine which to all accounts seems indispensable to our Gov ernment. Diddy Smithers. in a bois de rose sport dress, looked utterly chic. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Marsten were present. Patsy in a smart blue and white ensemble. Sandy and Priscilla Liggett confessed to gardening as a pastime and any sunny afternoon will find them digging in the garden of their palatial habitat on Tracy place—the old Liggett home. During the Summer the Smithers will move out toward Rock Creek'Park. ik * * * 'Y'HE Swedish Minister and Mme. Bostrom have with them for the next six weeks their daughter. Fru Sixten Wollmar, from Stock holm, and her two adorable children. Ellis Wollmar, better known to Washington as Ellis Bostrom, made her debut here during the season of ’29 and ’30 and was one of the most attractive and vivacious debutantes of her season. With her shoulder-length bob of golden curls and her wonderful complexion, Ellis was a picture, and every one remembers that she gave up debutante frivolity in favor of secretarial work, acting as her father's aide. She met and married Sixten Wollmar in America, living for several years in Rye, N. Y. before returning to Sweden. Speaking of Sweden, in town for the next week is the son of the late Iket Clason, well-known Swedish architect, Gustaf Clason. Mr. Clason is lumself an architect of note attached to the Royal Board of Public Works at Stockholm. Finding English a difficult language to master, Mr. Clason confessed that he found “zero” and “aught” most unpronounceable on the telephone. He figured out, what he considered, an easy conclusion, and to date when on the phone he requests “North 1 ‘love’ 44”! All very well providing the astonished operator is a tennis enthusiast! Incidentally, the past history relative to the use of “love,” in tennis scoring, is most amusing. Tennis was first played at the Court of Versailles by Louis XIV. under the name of “Jeu des Pommes.” When scoring on the board “15 to 0” the zero was always a bit lopsided and was dubbed “Voeuf.” The ultimate end of “Voeuf” became “love” in the English language, and is now almost uni versally used. Bethesda Women To Have “Play Day” The Woman's Club of Bethesda. Md., will usher in May day with a "Play Day” at the home of Mrs. E. M. Willis, at 5510 Moorland lane, in Bethesda today. From 2 until 4 o’clock this after noon there will be cards, for which there will be prizes. At 4 o'clock there will be an old-fashioned May day celebration with all the traditional games and sports with which this day has been celebrated for centuries, and several more modern ones will be added. Grab bags, pony rides, a plant ex change, a white elephant market, an apron market and refreshment booths will turn the lawn into a semblance of the old English market place. For the safety of the children the street will be roped off and policed. It is hoped, if the weather is fair, to have dancing in the street in the evening. -• Annual Banquet. The Lookout Sundjy School Class of the Sherwood Presbyterian Church entertained at its annual banquet last evening in the garden house of the Dodge Hotel. Miss Grace L.
