By the Way—
~Beth Blaine ——-————_
CONVERSATION these days just naturally turns to Summer plans,
especially on a day like yesterday when Summer, not Spring
was in the air. Feeling in the mood to take a trip, we wandered ud
Connecticut avenue in the sunlight and thought of blue waters and
ships and foreign ports and then put the matter out of our minds
as we entered the Mayflower for luncheon. The discussion at the
lunch table turned to Summer plans and again we thought of the
high seas, but another form of transportation was suggested to us
which we had not even thought of—the Hindenburg! And why not
perhaps we shall have a chance to write this column from the air
“somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean”!
Last night, dining with Herr and Frau Scholz of the Ger
man Embassy, again we heard much talk of comings and
goings. May 12 will see our friends Herr and Frau Struve set
ting sail. This is sad, for it is not just a Summer trip, but a
change in post for them. First they go to Paris, but only for
two days, and then on to Danzig, where Gustav will be sta
tioned. Frau Struve already has studied a great deal about
the country she is about to call home for a few years and is
most enthusiastic about it. The dinner last night was given
for them.
Toward the end of the month, though only a little more than
a fortnight away, M. and Mme. Saint of the French Embassy with
their two little daughters, set sail on leave for France, where they
will spend the Summer with M. Saint’s mother. We are glad to
know that that is only au revoir for a few months, though, to be
sure, we shall miss all those nice tennis games we enjoyed last
wimiiT ^ \h-em aI^ mint iulePs' which we taught them to
love. In fact, Mary Saint has learned to make them and says she
France?11 t0 S'Ve °ne t0 her mother'in"law and all her friends in
This morning at the crack of dawn Frau Scholz’s father
and sister arrived from Chicago, where they have spent sev
eral days. The dinner was in their honor also, but they could
not make it at the last moment. Herr von Schnitzler will re
main here only a day or so, but Fraulein von Schnitzler will
be in Washington until she and her sister leave for Germany
June 13. Herr Scholz will join them later in the Summer—he
cannot miss the big automobile race which takes place July
5 on Long Island. Incidentally, several racing cars are coming
over on the Hindenburg, arriving in America July 4, thouah
as we write this it hardly seems possible.
Mrs- Frank Heyward was most long-suffering
reading P,alms- One person asked her directly after dinner
to read their palm and she was not left alone all evening, and we
u ext]:imely good-best of all, she has made a
itis irftheham?161 anything unP!easant, no matter how apparent
Sc*]°*zes gave a delightful dinner, as all their parties are
and before the evening was over we had rolled back the rugs and
danced several Viennese waltzes, at which our host is a past master.
WELL. the first court is taking place in London today. Mrs.
Homer Cummings is there and we heard yesterday that Mrs.
Frederick Vernon Foster, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Ewing L
Davis, is being presented also. Mrs. Foster is a niece of Ambassador
at Large Norman H. Davis.
So far our friends have not been very good correspondents
but we are eagerly awaiting letters giving us first-hand news of
what is going on in London. Here’s hoping that a letter will arrive
socn and if there is any news of real interest, we shall print
there”[S S° ^a^ niay know what your friends are up to “over
AND
By the way—received several nice invitations in the mail today
one from the Rumanian Minister for a “small” tea Friday and’
another from Maj. and Mrs. John Thomason, who will be at'home
Saturday, May 15, from 5 to 7 at 4920 Indian lane.
Mme. d’Aulby Hostess
Mme. Maid a Fani d'Aulby was
hostess yesterday at tea, entertaining
at the Sulgrave Club. Mme. d'Aulby
was assisted in receiving by M.
D'Aulby and they stood in the great
hall at the head of the stairs. The
hostess wore a becoming gown of pale
blue organdy, starched to make the
skirt bouffant and the full sleeves
more puffed. With this she wore a
dubonnet hat, and slippers. Nearby
stood a delicate blue Mexican vase
filled with dubonnet snapdragons.
The tea table was laid in the dining
room and had a low silver bowl filled
with pink roses and forget-me-nots,
while on the buffet and serving table
were vases filled with pink snapdrag
ons and blue iris.
