Dances Are Proving Popular;
Dinners Precede the Events
First of Current Series of Three
Given Last Night at Sulgrave Club
Numerous prominent hostesses are carrying on through these war
days and continue to arrange small and early parties. A series of three
dances has been arranged by a group of leading matrons and maids in
resident circles, the first of them given last evening. Those arranging
the series have kept the number attending rather small and will have
no supper, but very light refreshments.
The series is somewhat similar to a number of “small and early”
dances which were arranged many years ago at Rauschers’, then the
fashionable place for subscription dances and large balls. The dances
years ago were frequently referred to by those not included in the invita
tions to subscribe as the “poor and hungry.”
The first of this current series was given last evening at the Sulgrave
Club and a number or dinner parties
preceded. The dancing began at 9
and continued until 1 o’clock. There
was no formal receiving line, but
those who arranged the dances were
never far from the head of the stairs
to greet the subscribers as they ar
rived.
Members of the committee include
Mrs. George Angus Garrett, Mrs.
John Cabot, Mrs. Reeve Lewis, jr.;
Mrs. Norman C. Keith, Miss Anne
Boardman and Miss Eleanor Flood.
Miss Flood is acting as secretary of
the series.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Stu.vvesant Pierre
pont, jr., entertained at dinner
before the dance and Mr. and Mrs.
Keith also had guests dining with
them and went with them to the
dance. Others who entertained be
fore the dance were Mr. and Mrs
Laurence M. Lombard, Ensign and
Mrs. Harry Stimson, Mrs. Henry D.
Flood and Mrs. Lionel Atwill.
The second of this series, which
bids fair to be one of the very popu
lar small and informal affairs of
the spring season, will be held in
the Sulgrave Club Friday evening
April 16 and the third Friday eve
ning, April 30.
Another dance was given last eve
ning, which was the second in a
series at the 1925 F Street Club, ar
ranged by a group of well known
and popular hostesses of the Capital.
The Minister of Social Welfare
and Labor in the Eucador cabinet,
Dr. Leopold Chavez, is in Washing
ton for a week and is staying at
the Mayflower. Dr. Chavez will be
entertained by officials of the State
Department and probably will dine
and lunch informally with the
Ecuador Ambassador, Capt. Eloy
Colon Alfaro during his stay here.
Dr. Chavez will make a tour of
this country for visits of inspection
to various hospitals and clinics and
will confer with officials for social
security. The visitor has been
prominent in Ecuador for the past
25 years, devoting his time to edu
cation until he took his place in the
cabinet of President Carlos Arroyo
del Rio.

There were 10 Gray Ladies in

Whatever it was the Gray Ladies

As Christmas drew near it was
the Gray Ladies who arranged
