Three sitting rooms in one small house seems to us very luxurious and
:ertainly very practical when you are entertaining at a buffet, supper as
he Hohenlohes did the other evening in their Georgetown house. For
he usual trouble with buffet suppers is that once having selected yourself
a tempting plate of supper you never can find
a comfortable spot in which to sit and eat
it! This situation, thanks to the Hohenlohes’
superfluity of sitting rooms, was avoided and
every one spread themselves out to enjoy
a really comfortable and leisurely supper.
One of the prettiest gowns at the party
was the gray velvet picture dress with high
back and short puffed sleeves worn by young
Mrs. Edward B. McLean, jr., which was
incidentally a perfect foil for her lovely tur
quoise jewelry. The hostess, Princess Hohen
lohe, wore striped taffeta with aquamarine
earrings and brooch and her hair “done up”
in a new and very becoming fashion. Three
of the prettiest women at the party wore
bright red, Mrs. Anthony Rumbold, Mrs.
Phillips H. Clarke and Peggy Townsend.
After dinner Peggy Townsend gave every
one a lesson in the Congo which she does to
perfection. Dr. Roberto Mendoza was so
adept m learning tne dance mat every one
. E*w*r?7 Mc ,r# accused him of having known it all along,
which he undoubtedly did!
Other guests included, Mary Wankowicz, the pink cheeked daughter
if the Counselor of the Polish Emoassy and Mme. Wankowicz; the Polish
imbassador, Count Jerzy Potocki, who dropped in after dinner; Mr. and
Irs. Harold Hinton, Eva in black moire with a smart black jacket beaded
o coral and turquoise; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Yost, the latter lovely in black
ace with cherry colored ribbons on the flounces of the wide skirt; Jose
>asa, Pendleton Hogan, Jack Segar, John Foster, Robert Coe, the new
lounselor of the Polish Embassy, Michal Kwapiszewski; Count and
Jountess Jerzy Lasocki, and Helen de Limur, the attractive daughter of
Jount and Countess Andre de Limur of the French Embassy.

As always when one of the Three Dances takes place on a
Saturday night there is a general influx of attractive out-of-towners
for the event. This past Saturday, the third and last of the Three
Dances took place at the Sulgrave Club with many dinners preced
ing it—Audrey Campbell's, Junior McConihe's—he came down from
New York with a group of friends and entertained at the home of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm S. McConihe; Mrs. Joseph
Leiter’s, Mr. and Mrs. James Clement Dunns', Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Burling, jr.’s; the Counselor of the Netherlands Legation and
Countess van Rechteren Limpurgs’, Harry Covington's, and Mrs.
Ffoulke Dewey's large dinner party which arrived at the datice very
late due to the fact that they had attended the premiere of “Gone
With The Wind.”
The Charley Denbys, jr.; the Curtis Munsons of Chicago, Mar
garet Case, Comdr. and Mrs. Jerauld Wright, now stationed in
Annapolis, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adsit Bull of New York w’ere
a few' of the interesting visitors.
Yesterday Nancy Leiter gave a large luncheon for the younger
set and Saturday afternoon Mary Louise Marsh gave a small cock
tail party. On Sunday there was Admiral and Mrs. George T. Pet
tengill's tea for Margaret Case and down in Warrenton the North
Wales Club was the scene of a gay coasting party.
AND
BY THE WAY
We have just heard a most amusing story from an ex-New York
Ongressman, who swears it is entirely true. It seems that one morning
■hile sitting in his office a rather strange looking lady appeared in a
iding habit of sorts, unsmartly complemented with a red beret and long
ubber boots. The lady announced that she was from New York State
nd had come to her Congressman to complain of the treatment she and
Darling” had received in Washington. Upon inquiry it developed that
Darling” was her horse. They had, she said, walked all the way from
