“Bussy” Howe looks prettier and happier than ever since the arrival
\/a aaca jr\/uAig uuu, vjcvi ge juuc&e nowe, jr.,
and after dinner the other night every one
flocked upstairs to take a peek at the latest
member of the family.
The Howes’ drawing room is one of the
most attractive in town, with lemon yellow
walls and plum and pink decorations—and
“Bussy” did it all herself, she told us.

At Mrs. Francis Whitten’s cock
tail party yesterday afternoon the
hostess not only looked the picture of
freshness and spring, in beige-colored
organdy, but her apartment at the
Mayflower was filled with forsythia
branches and pale yellow roses, which
blended perfectly with her gown. Just
back from several weeks in Miami
Beach, Fla., Mrs. Whitten looks and
says she feels “in the pink.”

A little later we dropped by Comdr. and Mrs. William Thomas’, over
In Georgetown, where the great success of the afternoon was the tiny new
Pekingese puppy Just born to the great pet of the Thomas household,
“Atasket.’’
Helen Thomas adores Pekingese and has a wry fine collection of
them—so numerous that as we were coming up the steps from the play
room to the drawing room floor we were stopped by a seemingly endless
parade of Pekingese—and one gentleman who had had two Martinis re
marked, “Those cocktails must have been stronger than I thought. Do you
see all those dogs?”
Admiral and Mrs. John H. Towers, Comdr. Jerauld Wiltse, whose
attractive wife is week-ending in Boston; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hinton.
Clarence Hewes, and Phyliss Walsh, who is the Thomas’ house guest, were

new ranch in Nevada, hopes to lease her Georgetown house, and Tommy
plans to summer here at one of the clubs or in a small apartment.

What with the Gridiron dinner and the blossoming of the famous
cherry trees Washington was filled to overflowing w’ith out-of-towners over
the past week end. One of the most attractive was Mrs. Natalie Van Vleck,
who came through en route back to New York from Palm Beach. Mrs.
Van Vleck is a portrait painter of considerable talent as well as a very
charming person. Her young daughter Nancy, who is just as dark as
her mother is blond, is considered one of the real beauties of New York.
