Outdoor parties hold the spotlight in the Capital, although a number
of other parties marked yesterday's social calendar.
The cool formal garden at Valley View Farm, home of the Special
Assistant to the Secretary of State and Mrs. Joseph E. Davies, was a
popular gathering place yesterday afternoon, when Mr. and Mrs. Davies
entertained with mint juleps and tea outdoors.
A stone stairway led from the beautiful drawing room of the mansion
down into the garden, and Mrs. Davies stood at the foot of these steps
to greet her guests. She was gowned in a handsome floor-length dress
of navy blue, with pleats of white chiffon in the skirt, and a wide-brim
navy color hat with a white eyelet embroidery crown.

and other spring blossoms, as well
as the beautiful silver services.
Juleps Are Theme

theme of another delightful party
of yesterday, when Miss Nancy Ord

brother and sister-in-law, Capt. and
Mrs. Godwin Orriway, jr., who have

ing on the walls at the side and end
of the garden, and peonies, poppies
and other brilliant blossoms stood
out against a background of green
ery.

L- Beth Rlnine- -
Mrs. Crosby Miller's picnic supper at her family's beautiful estate
(View Tree) near Warrenton the other day was loads of fun and was as
casual and informal as picnics should be. Guests were told to come any
time during the afternoon, so most of them arrived in time for cocktails
on the terrace overlooking the beautiful rolling green countryside. (View
Tree is supposed to be the highest point in the environs and the view
from the house and gardens is superb). The gentlemen contributed the
liquid refreshments and the ladies the more solid and substantial food.
Tables were set up in the garden, and every one was asked to help them
selves, which they did—and very ably, we thought.
For the more athletic guests there was a heated baseball game with
the two teams captained by Dr. Robert Moran and Donald Downes, re
spectively, and Mrs. Crosby Hornblow's young son acting as coach. Celeste
Miller never looked prettier, dressed in white sharkskin slacks and shirt
with a bright red bandana tied about her jet black hair. In fact, all the
ladies—in sports attire—looked unusually attractive.
Present were, in addition to the two sisters, Mr. and Mrs.
Marshall Exnicios, Mrs. Robert Moran, who by the way,
is one of the real beauties of the Capital; Mrs. Donald
Downes, Betty Byrne, who is in town for a visit with her great
friend, Mrs. Eldridge Jordan; Laurence Bungardeanu, Mrs. Sims
Snow and her two nieces, Mrs. William Mann and Betty Beale;
Ogden Hammond, jr.; the young Robert Knowltons, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Adams, Mrs. Scudder Doeg, the Agricultural Attache of
the Spanish Embassy and Senora de Echegaray, Mr. and Mrs. Mario
Rodriguez, and the Commercial Counselor of the Peruvian Embassy
and Senora de Chavez.
The same afternoon Mr. and Mrs. George Hamilton, jr., were en
tertaining in town—at a cocktail party—which took place in the garden
of their Wyoming avenue house.
Most of the women present wore print frocks with brimmed hats,
and with the lovely flowers all in bloom in the garden, the scene looked
very summery and attractive.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Clark came early, Ann in pale yellow frock
and hat, and other guests were Mr. and Mrs. William MacCracken,
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Chappell, Mr. and Mrs. George Maurice
Morris, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carroll Morgan—all the last four
ladies in printed dresses. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Hopkins, jr., she in navy blue chiffon w'ith a tiny snow white hat
that looked almost heart shaped; Dr and Mrs. Victor Alfaro, Mr.
and Mrs. Ashmead Fuller, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Saul.
There will be flocks of parties this week end, planned principally for
the debutantes with some of their parents' friends and the young
marrieds included. Mr. and Mrs. William Flather will present their
daughter, Georgianna, to society at a large tea to be given at their beauti
ful place, Windslope on Nebraska avenue, and before the last of the Wed
nesday supper dances tonight Mrs. Chase Donaldson is entertaining at
cocktails. Tomorrow afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Edward Finkenstaedt will
present their daughter Sita to their friends at a tea at the 1925 F Street
Club, and Maj. and Mrs. Horace Smith also are giving an afternoon
party for a few friends at their house on Massachusett avenue. Friday
Mr. and Mrs. James Clement Dunn are giving a tea for two debutantes—
their own pretty daughter Cynthia and Pauline Curtis, whose step father
and mother. Mr. and Mrs. John Gross, will give a dinner dance at the F
Street Club that night. Mrs. Kent Legare also will entertain at dinner before
the Gross party and on Saturday Mme. Espil will give a coming-out tea
for her daughter. Louise Stillwell, at the Argentine Embassy. That night
is the Warren Barbour dance for their daughter Elvsabeth preceded by
numerous dinners—among them that of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Carusi.
