* ■ i Parties Being Given Daily In Honor of Mrs. Partridge By Betty Beale Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Partridge must be the most feted woman in Washington. If there were any more parties in her honor, it is con ceivable that she would never get off to San Francisco to become the bride on June 7 of Mr. John Lyman. As it is she has had to say “NO” to all prospective party plans for the three days prior to her departure on the 29th. . The entertaining has been going on for some time, but just for the record one may as well begin last Thursday with the small and highly amusing dinner given by the Sherman Trowbridges. During dinner the host made a speech in the form of a long, delicious poem a la A. A. Milne, and after dinner Mrs. Partridge was presented with a basketful of gifts HscioncH tr. hpln her aet to Cali-^ fomia, each gift wrapped separately and bearing a typewritten witticism. Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Slocum Kingsbury and Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard Van Arkle gave a buffet supper for her in the Kingsburys’ enchanting garden on Thirtieth street. Guests sat amidst full blooming flowers and played violins and lutes and sang to their heart's content. There were at least 20 for supper with others coming in later for the musical session. Saturday evening a small family group dined at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Phillips. The latter is the bride-elect's sister, and down from Poughkeepsie for just the one day was her brother, Mr. Ernest Acker. Yesterday there was another big, gay affair. Heading toward Middle burg between 1 and 2 o’clock with visions of delectable roast meat be fore them, were some 30 friends of the bride-to-be. Mr. and Mrs. Eu gene Hinkle staged a barbecue on 4n nnnnirv in honor of Mrs. Partridge and the fun lasted until sundown. The Hinkles are down temporarily from Montreal where he is stationed as a foreign service officer. This afternoon Mrs. Swagger Sherley will entertain at tea for the former Miss Mary Elizabeth Acker, and on Wednesday the Theodore Dominicks will give a cocktail party for her. The follow ing day Mrs. Rudyerd Boulton will be hostess at a supper, and on Fri day Mrs. Joseph Jones will enter tain at a luncheon for her after ' which the guests will go to the lec ture to be given by T. S. Eliot. Perhaps the piece de resistance of all the parties will take place Saturday evening, May 24. After a supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Meade Fletcher, Mr. and Mrs. Corrin Strong will give a small dance. "The Mary Elizabeth Waltz,” they call it, and it will be held at their home on Thirty-second street. There will be dancing on the terrace in the garden under artificial moons. Mr. and Mrs. Strong missed the barbecue yester day, by the way, because they are down at Norfolk to see what can be done to salvage their yacht, Nirada. Loaned to the Navy during the war, it was rammed in a fog and sunk. Next Sunday the Frank Good wins will be hosts at cocktails and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gates will be hosts at a supper, both parties to honor Mrs. Partridge. After that she says that she will go into re tirement to do some packing. When she arrives in San Francisco the gayety will start all over again. She will be there June 1st and for one week before their marriage, her fiance’s' friends will give them a party whirl. They will have a small church wedding followed by a reception in the famous Mark Hopkins Hotel, in a room overlooking Knob Hill.
