Two Parties Yesterday Afternoon ... .
IV'ife of French Ambassador
Entertains for Food Donors
Bv Betfv Beale
There was a party at the French
Embassy yesterday afternoon for
those persons in Washington who
most deserve the gratitude of a
starving nation. Mme. Bonnet re
ceived from 5 until 7 in the simple
but exquisite elegance of the fre
quently termed “most beautiful em
bassy in Washington.” Her guests
represented the various groups in
the Capital who have worked on
the Food For France project, from
the wife of Associate Justice Stan
ley Reed and the wife of the Com
mandant of the Marine Corps, Mrs.
A. A. Vandegrift, on down to a
group of boys and girls from Wood
row Wilson School, who also packed
scores of boxes of food.
The wife of the French Ambassa
dor, who wore a smart brown and
black and white print dress, re
ceived her guests in the spacious
hall at the entrance to the bright,
large, high-ceilinged dining room.
Here Mrs. Janos de Bekessy took
over, mingling with every one and
Introducing future friends of simi
lar interests. This attractive blond
woman, who yesterday wore a linen
suit the color of crushed straw
berries and a hat of pink tulle roses,
has been the guiding genius (she
looks more like a guiding angel) of
. the Food for France project. Under
her able leadership 14,000 boxes of
food have already been shipped to
France and the project will carry on
until the end of this month.
The Beime Lays, an attractive
couple who will be leaving Wash
ington soon, were there. He is
author of “I've Had It,” the ex
citing story of his experiences with
the French resistance movement,
which began when he and his co
pilot had to bail out of their bomber
over France. Mrs. Lay is a good
looking, brunet Virginian with lots
of natural charm, who still wonders
at the courage of the French who
sheltered her husband, knowing it
would mean disaster for themselves
and their children if discovered.
Mrs. Carleton Holdrege was also
present and Miss Carolyn Nash in
a chapeau of pink roses and a pretty
black dress with yoke of black eye
let. Pink roses also crowded the
brim of Mrs. Augustine Bennet’s
Gibson Girl hat, while Mrs. J. Wil
liam Fulbright wore a natural straw
trimmed in black flowers. Mrs. Ful
bright was accompanied by Mrs.
Benjamin Laney, the wife 'of the
Governor of Arkansas, and Mrs.'
W. H. Sadler. Other guests were
Mrs. Wade Hampton Haislip, one!
of the most agreeable and gracious!
women in Washington, and distin
guished Mrs. J. M. Holton, head
mistress of Holton-Arms School,
which has packed and sent to
France 250 boxes of food. Pretty
Mme. Jean-Claude Winckler and
Mile. Janine Brossin de Saint-Didier
poured tea.
In the midst of all this feminine
charm there were a few other men
present. Mr. Edgar Morris was
there and talked to Mme. Leon
Blum with Mrs. de Bekessy acting
as interpreter; Mr. Benjamin Hill,
who represented the Sons of the
American Revolution; Mr. Clyde
Harrison, and Mr. Reginald Hudson
of the American Legion, Stanley
Church Depew Post No. 30. Mr.
Hudson chatted with the petite Mile.
Eveline Peyronnel, a member of the
Maquis, who has been speaking at
the different Legion posts. Accord
ing to the former, the entire Amer
ican Legion is in love with the
French mademoiselle. _
Portraits Shown at Party.
And at a nearby studio, several
well-known Capital figures looked
down from the walls at the group
having cocktails. The occasion was
the party given by Belgian artist
and Mme. Alfred Jonniaux to ex
hibit the recently completed por
traits of Secretary of State Mr.
James F. Byrnes, Associate Justice
Harold Burton, Undersecretary of
War Mr. Kenneth Royall and Mrs.
Royall, and Senator Chapman
Revercomb.
With the exception of Secretary
Byrnes, who is in Paris, and Mrs
Royall, who is ill at Walter Reed,
all originals of the paintings were
there. Of course. Mrs. Burton and
Mrs. Revercomb were on hand, too,
and others included Mr. Leander
McCormick-Goodhart, Mrs. Edward
Everett Gann, Dr. and Mrs. Dexter
Bullard, and Mr. and Mrs. Augustus
Eustis of Boston. Perhaps the port
rait that drew the most comment was
that of Mr. Byrnes. Wearing a navy
blue suit and navy blue tie, he has
been painted sitting at his desk,
leaning forward in a natural work
ing pose. In back of him is the
flag of the Secretary of State and
in one corner is the American flag.
Mr. Jonniaux was formerly court
painter to the King of Belgium, and
then painted in London under the
auspices of the Duke of Connaught.
In 1941 he came to this country
with former United States Ambas
sador to Spain, Mr. Alexander Wed
dell, and his portraits of both Mr.
and Mrs. Weddell are now in the
Richmond Museum of Arts.
