Colonial figurines holding bouquets of narcissus and scarlet rosebuds with blue iris flanked the mound of red roses that centered th* table—which later proved to be composed of corsages for the guests femme. Present for the fun that evening were Mr. and Mrs. Grady Cowper Andrews, re cently returned from North Caro lina;'Mrs. Sallie Presley, Mr. and Mrs. '‘Jim" Gettys and the newest additions to the Tar Heel Colony— the very personably Thomas An derson Brays, who are already es tablished in a oozy apartment out Chevy Chase way—and the Ray Harmons, just back from Miami. Gold-braid story of the last of the alphabet teas Mrs. Truman has been giving this season was Gen eral Crawford talking to General Crawford. You see both generals have the same name and both of them are Brigadiers. Mrs. James B. Crawford whose husband was Camp Danis’ first commanding gen eral and Mrs. A. R. Crawford, each of whwn has called North Caro lina ■‘home’’ at one time or the other during the past decade, got together—and talked about you know what—each other’s mail which has been in a tangle for sev eral years.

Another striking note by Mrs. Truman, at her waist. Thus, this quiet, friendly and unassuming White House hostess is becoming a “style-setter!” Mrs. Kenneth C. Royall, wife of the Undersecretary of War, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. L. C. Best who is visiting at the Royall menage, were among the guests present and so were Mrs. May Thompson Evans, Mrs. Leslie Biffle and Mrs. T. Lamar Caudle. Youth cares little for rank. And vnen the younger—and feminine— members of North Carolina’s Wash ington Coloney go all out in praise of Margaret Truman, it’s a sincere, bentiine tribute to the First Daugh . °i °ur Land.

Here again - were a pleasant sprinkling of North 1 £aro?ina belles—with attractive ■ Edwina Pau Wadden, being rushed i simply off her feet. And, here again, Margaret Truman gained in i popularity, for not only is she a lovely person, iui she is an expert dancer and loves it. Embassy Party A young party with a diplomatic flavor and a handsome military stag line took place at the French Embassy when the Ambassador and Mme. Bonnet entertained in honor of the President’s Daughter. Daughters (with here and there a niece) of diplomats, cabinet mem bers, Senators and Representatives composed the feminine contingent of this very exclusive affair, while the men invited were from Walter Reed, Forest Glenn and Betbesda hospitals. The war heroes arrived en masse and with dinner over, dancing began at 9:30. Evelyn Tyner, accompanied by the string bass and drums kept music in the sir. But the vivacious and clever Sallie Bailey, one of the few girls from the state to receive one of the coveted gold-crested invitations to the event, had to brush up a little on her languages in order to decline for there were very im portant happenings that kept her at Sweet Briar, where she is a student this winter. Unless plans are changed drastically, Sallie will "be in Washington for a brief visit to her parents, Senator and Mrs. Bailey, next week, while her sister, Miss Edith Bailey Junior at Duke university, will come up for the Pretty Nell Hackney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hackney, was among the guests of Miss Jean Miles when she entertained at luncheon at the Statler Hotel today, in honor of her former Gunston classmate, Miss Margaret Truman, and Edwina Wadden was among the guests at the luncheon when Mrs. Thomas Turner, wife of Comdr. Turner entertained for Miss Truman at the Sulgrave club. Pointing up the entertaining next week will be the large reception and tea dance that will be given by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Anthony Wadden in honor of their daughter, Miss Edwina Pou Wadden, name sake of her distinguished grand father, Representative Edwin W. Pou, Dean of the House of Repres. entatives at the time of his death. The function which will take place Wedneslay afternoon in the spa cious and beautifully decorated Congressional club is to supple ment the luncheon which due to postwar restrictions was limited to a small number of guests and at wmcn ivnss waaaen maae ner debut during the Christmas sea son. On this occasion, Mr. and Mrs. Wadden will introduce their beau tiful daughter to their older friends, and also to many of the younger set. Several heads of the Embassies have accepted the in vitation to accompany their child ren and the stag line from all in dications will be the largest in Washington since the war, promises ' to include all of the town’s most eligible and delightful bachelors. Close friends of Mrs. Wadden s who will pour tea during the after noon will include Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stone, wife of the Chief Justice; Mrs. Robert Jackson and Mrs. Harold Burton, wives of Jus tices of the Supreme Court, Mrs. Kenneth C. Royall, wife of the Undersecretary of War and Mme. Wei, wife of the Ambassador from China. Mrs. John K.

On Sunday evening the Indian Agent General and Lady Bajpai were hosts at one of their small and interesting dinners, with the hand, some Undersecretary and Mrs. Royall in the group of guests that included the Swiss Minister and Mme. Bruggmann, Justice and Mrs. Felix Frankfurter and Field Marshal Sir Henry Maitland Wil son and Lady Wilson. The much - feted Mrs. Royall was entertained again Wednesday after noon at a tea given by Mrs. Robert Patterson, at the Patterson home on Thirty-third Street. Sharing honors at this party, which was strictly feminine, was Mrs. Howard C. Petersen, wife of the Assistant Secretary of War. The house was literally blooming with spring flowers—tulips, jonquils, sweet-peas forget-me-nots and then, of course, there were those on milady’s hat! Mrs. Royall’s gown was of mauve lace, blending splendidly with the red floor-length crepe worn by the hostess. And sharing the interest with her daughter, was Mrs. L. P. Best of Warsaw, who took her turn at the tea table behind the magni ficent silver urn. PHI DELTA DELTAS Phi Delta Deltas, international women’s legal fraternity, have the most interesting in-gatherings ever so often, usually to rally around some outstanding member, already far up the ladder of success. Tues. day they honored Judge Carrick Buck, first woman on the circuit court of Hawaii, with a cocktail party in the Pan-American room 6f the Mayflower hotel. Chatting with Judge Faye Bentley of the District Juvenile court and Judge Marion Harron was North Caro lina’s favorite, Judge Lucy Howorth and Miss Louise Wilson, native North Carolinian.

I 123 Market St. Dial 5189 ; Tidy Bride Wins Parents Approval BY ALICIA HART You bet it’s tough, beginning married life in one room- Ditto oeginning it in a house already filled with your husband’s or your own family. But the point of our piece is: will vou emerge from this trying experience a more or a less be loved girl? Your chances of being more be loved rest in great measure upon :idy habits. Neither your husband nor your relatives, for instance, will like stumbling over kicked off shoes or sitting on hats left or chairs. Any person hates to have a crushed pocketbook on his con science, toe. A man hates a litter of sloughed off clothes. His eyes is more thar apt to be offended by an array o! jncapped cosmetics, messy tissues, soiled cotton, a brushful of tangles. He is not the great, big man whom you admire, if he isn’t allergic tc spilled powder, particularly if :1 spills on his clothes. Keep toiletries tucked away. Ditto clothes. The smaller the space, 'he busier you’ll have to be picking up after yourself. Even in a one-room bide-a-wee, a girl can keep her beauty secrets a secret—take her make-up off in the bathtub, bandage her pin-up curls with a swoosh of net. r~ Margaret Sutton, Sidney French Wed JASPER, Feb. 23. — Miss Mar garet Sutton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Sutton of Asbury and Sidney French of the U.
