In the Capital
Minister and Mme. Bilmanis
Give Reception to Mark
Latvian Independence
Twenty years of Latvian independence was fittingly celebrated yester
day afternoon in the Latvian Legation when the Minister from that coun
try and Mme. Bilmanis gave a reception. The party was more colorful than
similar celebrations at Embassies and Legations. The hostess and her
assistants were dressed in the gay costumes of their native land. The very
full skirts were ankle length or perhaps a bit shorter, and the white blouses
heavily embroidered in red. Their headdresses, not unlike the kikoshnik of
old Russia, were gold studded with pearls and about their necks were heavy
gold chains and ornaments.
Receiving with the Minister and Mme. Bilmanis in the drawing
room were Mme. Smits, wife of the Secretary of the Legation, and Mrs.
* Kasak of Minnesota, house guest of the hosts. M. Smits, secretary of the
.ccation, spent the afternoon “circulating" in an effort to see that each
of the guests was amply served with liquid suitable for toasts to the con
inued independence and prosperity of the republic, and had tasted of the
quantities of dainties typical of the land of Latvia.
Red and white roses and red and white carnations with quantities of
hrysanthemums were in vases and bowls about the rooms to carry out
he national colors of Latvia and the long table where tea was served in
he dining room was lighted with red candles in silver candelabra.
The guests numbered several hundred and included diplomats ac
rcditcd to this post, officials of the Federal Government as well as a
^odly number of Capital residents.

Thr younger generation took over the 1925 F Street Club yesterday
afternoon, pushing their elders back into the corners of the decorated
-alons. Mrs. Charles Tilghman was presenting her daughter, Miss Cath
erine Holloway Tilghman, to Washington society at a tea dance. While
parents took tea or drinks, debutantes and post-debutantes danced
gaily with flocks of young men. Elsie Hill, whose mother. Mrs. Hiram
Bingham, and older sister. Mrs. Phillips Clarke, were both there to keep
affectionate eyes on her, was an outstanding belle. It was easy to tell
that an important party was under way from the outside, as one watched
the policemen trying to unthread the traffic that blocked F street.
* * * *
Also yesterday afternoon Mrs. Benjamin Thaw had gathered
together a handful of friends to say Good-by" before leaving for
Connecticut on Tuesday. Connie, very chic in a severe purple gown,
told us that she will be away until January. She will stay with
Mrs. Elliott Comstock, at Old Lyme. Conn., while supervising im
provements on her own house, and hopes to move in in time for
Christmas. Mrs. Comstock has been visiting admiral and Mrs.
George Pettengill here for the past week, and was guest of honor
at their dinner last night.
Other friends at Mrs. Thaw's were Mrs. Pearson Rust. Lady
Lewis. Mr. and Mrs. Jouett Shouse, Ralph Snowden Hill, the As
ms! ant Secretary of the Interior, Oscar L. Chapman; Dr. Roberto
Mendoza and Kemper Simpson.
* * * *
The i line passed so quickly that we had to rush home to change for
,• dinner at the Samuel Beachs' house on Twenty-fourth street. Kempy and
Sam have just redecorated and refurnished their drawdng room with
-the most pleasing and charming results, for it is one of the loveliest
jjoorns in town.
The furniture, which all belonged to Kempy’s grandparents, is Vic
torian, and is upholstered in soft pinkish beige satin, turquoise blue velvet
and heavenly beige and turquoise blue-striped teatin. The walls are painted
pale gray, the hanging are heavy silk taffeta in the same turquoise blue
as the furniture and there are several fine old landscapes and antique
gilt mirrors.
Mrs. Beach looked very well in a gold satin gown, and Mrs. Reber
Littlehfiles, who came with her good-looking husband, was also in satin,
her frock all white. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Carusi were there, the latter
in a cream-colored gown which admirably set off Vier fair skin and dark
hair. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Scott and Tinsley Garnett completed the
party. Kay Scott looked very sweet and pretty in a frock of powder blue
Crepe with a silver and blue jacket.

The Administration gave its official blessing last night to the
Lambeth Walk. Up to that point, youngsters who were faithfully
following the instructions they received from London felt they were
•» bootlegging a new form of ballroom dancing. But last night, at
the Sulgrave Club. Col. E. M. Watson, who is President Roosevelt's
military aide in official life, was leading the enthusiasts of the Fri
day Supper Club in their attempts to imitate the East Side of Lon
don.
With this official blessing, the dancers relaxed even under the
gaze of "Ma" Williams. Mrs. F. J. A. Coleby, wife of the Assistant
Naval Attache to the British Embassy, let herself go in a big way,
although she has probably never been closer to Lambeth than the
Westminster Bridge. Benjamin Plunket, attache to the Embassy,
was another who permitted himself to join in his country's latest
form of recreation.
The example was by no means lost on the natives. Mrs. Carroll
Morgan trod a merry measure. C. Griffith Warfield, Washington’s No.
1 dancing man, led protesting but delighted buds to the floor (one at a
time, of course!. Nancy Leiter was one of those who felt that "Griff” could
instruct her in the mazes of the not too complicated version of the Lam
beth Walk current at the Sulgrave Club.
The orchestra felt it had a good thing and kept the music going until
the last of the Lambeth Walkers (not to be confused with the Eastern
Shore branch of the family.) completely lost breath.
There had been some concern on the part of the committee that the
second of the series of the supper dances would not draw out as large and
representative a gathering as did the first one two weeks ago, but their
apprehensions were ill-founded. It is hard to imagine that the Sulgrave
Club could accommodate a larger or more appreciative gathering.
