Washington?The gayest and most
brilliant fiddling since Rome burn
ed continues in the capital. Comdr.
and Mrs. Charles Windsor were at
home last Sunday and nearly 200
people were there. Miss Peter Car
ter, society columnist of the Wash
ington Times-Herald ,says "every
body came and nobody went," and
she adds that she "had so much fun
and forgetfulness of time" at the
Windsors that when she came out
there was no taxicab available and
she had to walk home.
Miss Carter says she saw the Weld
ing Owens and "the senior Owen"
who is quoted as telling about 1h -
ing "at a turkey shoot at Mary Bail
ey's place in the country where De
fense Bonds were the attraction of
the day." Miss Carter writes that
the senior Owen "became so cnthu
siastic over the whole thing that he
had practically nothing in the way
of folding money to spend the next
day for luncheon."

Lady Bradford Leslie spent the

she had no definite plans to stop over
in the capital on a quick trip from
Florida to the North, she decided at
the last minute to do so. Lady Les

Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins is
quoted as saying "hopelessly" at a

"What are we to do? No feathers,
no brass, no carpets."
