Miss Beatrice Patton, daughter of Lieut. Smart Society in General and the Z, Horsey Z Set in Particular, At Bradley Farms Show The National Capital Horse Show got under way yesterday morning with brilliant sunshine and a record crowd out for the opening. Everything pointed to a perfect day until three o'clock or so, when the storm broke, and everyone ran for cover. The events scheduled for the first day were of unusual interest, green and working hunters, bridle paths, and a ladies’ saddle classes being featured. The clubhouse at Bradley Farms, where the annual Spring Show is staged, presented a most attractive appearance, the shutters painted a bright apple green, with snowy curtains at the windows, in delightful contrast to the rough gray stone walls. Inside, a dining room on the second floor was reserved for the Judges, and it was here some of the prominent exhibitors joined them, to chat over the entries and awards made up to that time. Junior League girls, debutantes, and post-debs served as waitresses, wearing green smocks which were vastly becoming, and they were as busy as bees, aiding those who formed a long pie in the cafeteria on the first floor, where a most appetizing array of cold meats, salads, desserts, iced tea and coffee, and other dainties were to be had for the buying. May I add here, that the prices were very moderate and the food delicious. The terrace overlooking the show ring at the back of the house was filled with gay groups, lunching under a green and white canopy, and prominent among those glimpsed there were Mrs. Edward Everett Gann. Who was with Lieut. Col. and Mrs. M. Robert Guggenheim, as was the financial counselor of the Rumanian Legation and Mme. Boncesco, and others. Mrs. Guggenheim was in riding togs, a tan coat with a soft felt hat, and breeches of a lighter shade, and a blue tie. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Counselman, who took a red at the Show during the morning with “Yellow Girl,” were lunching with friends, and later they entertained guests in their box. Mrs. Counselman wore a two-piece Navy blue suit with touches of white at the neckline, and a small blue turban. Lunch Under Trees The second secretary of the Chilean Embassy, Senor Don Mario Rodriquez, was glimpsed lunching, as was Mrs. John Hay Whitney, who wore a blue sports shirt, tan riding breeches, and highly-polished tan boots. The River Road leading to Bradley Farms was lined with dogwood and fruit trees in bloom, and the old apple orchard, near the house where many chose to eat their picnic lunches, was a mass of bloom. Two little white houses, with green blinds and window boxes, filled with red geraniums, proved to be popular centers. Beer and hot dogs were served in one, and the other was converted into a novelty shop, with everything from glass cocktail sets to pin cushions on sale. Gaily-striped tents housed displays of motor cars and ice boxes, just what relation these have to the Horse Show I don’t know but they are there. The grandstand, with its double tier of boxes was filled with smart folk. Among them was Miss Julia. B. Whiting, very much excited over the afternoon show, in which her famous “gray” was to jump. She was attired in dark blue, with a hat to match trimmed with quilled ribbon. Mrs. Tom Bones was in a box with five friends, and she wore a flowered print with a broad-brimmed hat adorned with field flowers. The Judges' stand was hung with red and white bunting, and red flags with white lettering waved in the breeze over the stables in the hollow below the ring. An old farm wagon, drawn up under the trees, and laden with flowers, proved a picturesque "stall". Green-clad Junior League girls, perched on its wheels and seat, did a land office business in disposing of their fragrant wares and a coop full of little hunting dogs proved a great lure for the dog fanciers. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained at lunch today at the White House. Their guests were the Ambassador to Mexico, Mr. Josephus Daniels; the former Ambassador to Turkey and Mrs. Abram I. Elkus, Mr. and Mrs. Reinaid Werrenrath, Mrs. Thomas R. Shipp, Mr. Adams, of Boston; Mrs. Curtis B. Dall, Mrs. Melvina Scheider, and Mr. Marvin. They will entertain at a small dinner this evening when their guests will be entertained at a dinner. guests will include the famous English author, Mr. H. G. Wells. This afternoon Mrs. Roosevelt will have as her guests at tea the Ambassador of Brazil and Mme. de Lima e Silva and the Ambassador of Spain and Senora de Cardenas. Both of these envoys are leaving Washington shortly for new posts. Mme. De Mar, of New York, will arrive at the White House this afternoon to be the guest of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Lady Lindsay, wife of the Ambassador of Great Britain, has gone to New York for a stay of several days. Back in Capital The Ambassador of Poland, Mr. Stanislaw Patek, returned to the Capital yesterday from Havana, where he went three weeks ago to present his credentials as Minister to Cuba. The Secretary of the Embassy and Mme. Moscicka have also returned to Washington coming from Chicago, where they spent the past ten days. The Ambassador of France and Mme. de Laboulaye, have issued invitations for a dinner which will be followed by dancing on Monday, May 21, at the embassy in honor of the officers and midshipmen aboard the French training ship Jeane d’Arc. Legation Dinner For Diplomat The Ambassador of Peru, Senor Don Manuel de Freyre y Santander, attended the dinner given last evening by the Minister of Czechoslovakia and Mme.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1934 What a reception Reinaid were at the Department of State Club party for the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hull, night before last, when he sang a program of songs ranging from Kipling’s “Gunga Din” with Spross’ music, to Handel’s “Dank Sei Dir.” His rendition of a favorite of Mr. Hull, “Lone Dog,” was enthusiastically received, and “The Road to Mandalay,” sung especially for Associate Justice Oscar R. Luhring, who was present with his pretty wife, fairly “brought down the house.” The Undersecretary of State and his charming wife arriving at one of the outstanding evening events of the week, the latter attired in a perfectly ravishing costume, consisting of a pale rose color lace and chiffon gown, with an unlined coat of cherry red taffeta, made on long flaring lines, with a slight train, and the sleeves very full at the top and tapering down to the wrists. Mrs. Lewis W. Douglas, wife of the Director of the Budget, has shown marked executive ability in disposing of 50 boxes for the Horse Show at Bradley Farms, which will extend over tomorrow. Her list of rentals, headed by Sir Ronald Lindsay, includes the names of four more ambassadors, several Ministers, Members of Congress, such leaders in the “horsey” world as Mr. and Mrs. John Hay Whitney, Admiral and Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, and Col. and Mrs. M. Robert Guggenheim, and many smart residents who like to “look on.” Don't forget, you can't go to the Horse Show in a taxi without a Maryland license on it—and for those who don't know it, you have to continue out Wisconsin Avenue to Willard Avenue, before you can go over to the River Road, this latter highway being torn up from Wisconsin Avenue to that point. Baroness von Pagenhardt was glimpsed at the Italian Embassy musicale in a new “cartwheel” hat, so big it was hard to find her under it. She is all excited over her lovely new home, which is nearing completion, daily, now, from the vantage point of the garden, where she is spending many happy hours superintending the planting of trees, shrubs, and flowers. Three charming young Romanian girls, Vilma Andras, Victoria Ceanga, and Helen Popa, came all the way from Detroit to attend the reception given Wednesday by the Romanian Minister, Dr. Davila, and how thrilled they were to see all the famous personages who paid their respects to him, in celebration of his country’s National Fete Day. Prominent among the passengers debarking on the Champlain yesterday in New York for Capt. and Mrs. Ralph Walker McDowell, with Miss Beatrice Phillips, daughter of the Undersecretary of State and Mrs. William Phillips, were two of the many prominent Junior Leaguers present who did a rushing business with their cigarette sale. Mrs. William and is watching its progress were Dr. and Mrs. Robert Levy, Mrs. Levy is the daughter of the United States Ambassador to France and Mrs. Jesse Isidor Straus, and with her husband has spent several weeks abroad.
