Entertaining Over the Week End
Guggenheims Hosts at Party
For the Lewis MacCrackens
By Betty Beale
There was a cocktail party yes
terday at Firenze, gorgeous home
of Col. and Mrs. M. Robert Gug
genheim. They entertained in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis MacCracken
whose wedding in September stirred
up considerable excitement in the
party field. Now the newlyweds are
happily ensconced in their Con
necticut avenue apartment.
This was a young people’s affair,
friends of the guests of honor, with
a few of their parents, who are also
friends of the host, included. The
50 or 60 present gathered in the
ereat hall and in the paneled dining
room that is entirely done in a deep
rich red and yesterday was deco
rated with chrysanthemums in fall
colors. A few wandered onto the
adjoining terrace that looks out over
the broad sweeping lawn and trees
beyond. It is always such a sur
prise to guests at Firenze that it sits
right in town but has all the ap
pearance of a vast estate in the
country.
Mr. and Mrs. William MacCracken
were there, of course, but not their
daughter-in-law’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Francis Whitten. The latter
are at their home in White Sulphur
Springs and have as their house
guests this week end Mr. and Mrs.
James Hale Steinman.
Miss Bella Hagner and her mother,
Mrs. Randall Hagner, were there,
the former apparently entirely re
covered from her recent bad fall
from a horse. Mr. Raymond Haze
broek, Miss Rosalind Rust, Messrs,
Robert and Berkeley Simmons, Mr.
and Mrs. Conway Hunt, Mr. and
Mrs. John Caswell, Mr. and Mrs,
James H. Gilman and their daugh
ter, Gloria, Mr. and Mrs. Alf Hei
berg, Mr. and Mrs. Richard H,
Hutchison, senior and junior, and
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Boland were
also on this list of guests.
Others who dropped by sometime
between 5:30 and 7:30 o'clock were
former Austrian Minister and Mme.
Prochnik, their son Edgar procnnnc
squiring Miss Jane Vickers, Mrs.
McCeney Werlich and her son,
Robert Werlich, Miss Dolly Corbin,
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Dickey, Miss
Nancy Bickelhaupt, the Edward I.
Williams, Jr's., Mr. and Mrs. Kurt
Hetzel, Miss Marcia O'Brien, the
; Misses Marion and Laura May Nor
ris and Mr. Charles Carroll Morgan,
Jr.
The week-end chalked up still
more gayety at the hors d'oeuvres
hour. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shiner had
a small and congenial gathering in
j their new house in Georgetown.
; English basement style, it is charm
ingly decorated throughout.
Mrs. Daniel W. Bell was there
chatting with Mrs. Clark Woodward
while Rear Admiral Woodward and
Mr. Bell asked Mr. Edward Tomlin
son about his book that is fresh off
! the press and causing comment,
j‘‘Battle for the Hemisphere.” Mrs.
Grace Llewellyn held an interested
audience with her stories about
some of the problems of the Japa
nese war trials. She was the only
woman lawyer to take part in the
trials. And stopping by a little on
the late side were Miss Marianna
Evans escorted by Mr. James Clark.
Hostess at two parties in two days
was Mrs. Ellen Woodward, director
of the Office International Relations
in the Federal Security Agency.
Yesterday she entertained for Col.
and Mrs. Hugh Miller who will leave
shortly for their home in Southern
California. Col. Miller is driving his
wife to the West coast, but will re
turn here to wind up his affairs be
fore Joining her later. Mrs. Miller
is the former Izetta Jewel, the
actress.
On Saturday Mrs. Woodward gave
a tea for the United Nations Fellows
who have come to this country from
various foreign lands to study in the
field of social welfare. Officials
from the Federal- Security Agency
were among those at this 4 to 6
affair.
