By the Way— ~— Beth Blaine - JUST before sunset yesterday we arrived at the French Embassy to have tea with their excellencies, the French Ambassador and Mme. Bonnet. As always when we enter that lovely house, memories spring up o1 by-gone days. It was so interesting to see the changes that have been made in the past year. They are excellent improvements. Enlarging the drawing room has made it so much brighter and the dining room has been en larged in the same way. Mme. Bonnet received her guests on the large circular terrace which juts into the garden, a part of Rock Creek Park.. One has the impression of being miles away in the country, and it Is with distinct surprise that from a certain spot through the trees one catches a glimpse of the Connecticut Avenue Bridge, and by listen ing intently the steady low hum of distant traffic can be heard. Mme. Bonnet is so pretty, with that eager, vivacious manner which makes French women so attractive. His excellency is most amusing. Though his English is not as fluent as Mme. Bonnet’s, he is learning rapidly. The other Sunday we were tremendously amused—only eight of us were lunching with Celeste Crosby Miller at her lovely house in Warrenton. The Ambassador was silent for a few moments in deep thought—suddenly we heard him murmuring crazee — crizee —“crazy.” Mme. Bonnet, who has a delicious sense of humor, said “Oh. do not pay any attention, he is learning to say that word properly as a very pretty young friend of ours exclaimed at a recent party that ‘she was crazy about him!’” It was beautiful on the terrace with the sun setting and the flowers taking on almost an iridescent glow. There we saw Mina Legare win the prize for hats—we were very bad losers, some of us, but we all conceded that her hat was probably the "goofiest”! Now don t misunderstand, it was a lovely hat and vastly becoming to Mina, but it was a typical 1937 Spring creation and the very last word. It consists of bands of deep yellow and black straw shaped like a cone, with a visor and a pert quill through one side. The touch that defeated all the other hats and made them hang their brims in shame was the saucy little band which went under Mina’s chin and tied in a neat little bow. Mrs. Jack Newbold almost won the hat contest. Ferry Heath remarked to her, “Now I know, Kitty, w’hy hats are sometimes referred to as a ‘lid.’ ” Kitty’s was a coarse straw “flat lid” set up in the back on a blue grosgrain ribbon. % A most attractive young Frenchwoman—I am. sorry I did not learn her name—held honors at the beginning of the afternoon with a henna-colored “lid” barely covering the top of her head. In the center it sprouted a bunch of flowers znd on the back of her head, holding in her curls, the “lid” suddenly developed a “bib”! I think she was awarded second prize. Two lovely ambassadresses, Mme. Espil and Donna Matilde Suvich, wore very becoming and conservative hats. Mr. and Mrs. McGrath came up from Warrenton. Mrs. Mc Grath is beautiful, with large, dark eyes. Her husband confided 1 thaAt“ey had. Just returned from Paris and his wife had bought j eight hats which she has not had the “courage” to wear!
