By the Way—
——— Beth Blaine .
COMETIMES it seems a shame one's birthday does not come
more often than once a year. The reason for this rather
strange thought is the party which the George Howes gave Sat
urday night in celebration of Mrs. Howe's < known better as
Bussie) birthday anniversary. The party was such a howling
success, one would not mind maybe, adding the years a little
more often if "adding" could always be as much fun.
Bussie and George have taken the Stone House on Mount
Olive Farm, in Middleburg for the Summer and have quickly
become very popular members of the community there. It
was at Stone House that we gathered Saturday evening.
The night was breathtakingly beautiful, quite made to order
for any party and especially the kind the Howes gave. The
glorious full moon cast a magic spell through the trees and
shone on the fields of corn that come right up to the edge
of the lawn.
The driveway and trees around the house were strung with
Japanese lanterns and out on the lawn the tables, set for four,
were lighted by candles in silver holders. The hosts greeted their
guests at the foot of the steps leading into the house and then put
them into the hands of competent assistants—Eddie Burling and
Creighton Peet—who filled their glasses with delicious rum cock
tails.
The ladies added glamour to the evening by wearing
colorful print dresses or bright chiffons and we noticed that
black and white was a favorite combination, chosen by
Bussie whose dress was particularly lovely of black chiffon
with a jacket on which were appliqued white flowers. Mildred
Skinner wore a black arid white print as did Connie Burling
and Betty Iselin. and Margot Skinner looked very smart in a
white pique dress which showed off to perfection her mar
velous sunburn. Caroline White and Mrs. Grey Foster were
in gay prints while trances Rust chose one of those very
attractive new peasant linen dresses. Baroness D'Epresmenil.
the former Adeline Oxnard, had on a lovely white lace dress
with a pink rose at the waist whose long green stem formed
the belt and the entire costume just spelled gay Paree.
When we seated ourselves at the dinner tables. Bussie's com
petence came to the fore. A captain was appointed at each table
who saw to it that his companions were "fed.'' This is an ex
celent idea as it does away with the usual confusion of every one
gathering around the buffet at the same moment. Mrs. Howe is
famous for the delicious food served in her house, the making
of which she personally supervises and Saturday night's dinner
was par excellence.
While sipping our coffee, we looked around to see who .
the rest of our fellow guests were. Sam Spencer and his icife
Dora, together with Ben Thoron and Creighton Peet had
come down from Washington and were staying with the
Oliver Iselins; Leita Perkins wearing the most becoming
green and brown chiffon dress, was accompanied by her
house guests. Tony Balasy of the Hungarian Legation and
Philip Broadmead of the British Embassy; the Jim Skinners
had with them Betty Hardie and Philip Bourne while the
Eddie Burlings and Chauncey Parkers were stopping at Stone
House. The Harry Frosts, Arthur White, Jerry Webb. Basil
Hall. Baron D'Epresmenil, Henry Frost, Jack Skinner and
the Reggie Bishops were all there.
After dinner an orchestra lured every one into the house to
trip the light fantastic, but the moonlight and beauty of the
evening kept luring every one out into the garden between dances.
Before the evening was over a Virginia reel and a dancing con
test had taken place. The latter judged by Dora Spencer, Richard
D'Epresmenil and Philip Broadmead was won by Meg Bishop
and Eddie Burling.
Yesterday the assembled company lunched either at the
Iselins or the Halls, played tennis on Leita Perkin's and the
Iselin s courts and later swam in their respective pools. Thus
ended a really pleasant week end in late July in Middleburg, Va.
