Whitney's largesse went on, from 4:30 to 7 o'clock, and Mrs, Cafritz's from 6 to 8 o'clock—so the organizational problem was not too

brought a pair of Chinese blue satin pillow covers, embroidered in dragons, and lots of the other: guests sent flowers. From the Whitneys' party, Mme. Koo scurried over to pour tea with rum for the Cafritz party. Among the other guests who went from one party to the other were the Secretary of the Army, Kenneth Royall, and his pretty, southern belle (North Carolina) wife; the quiet, dignified dean of the diplomatic corps, Ambassador Wilhelm Munthe de Morgenstierne, of Norway, and Mme, Munthe de Morgenstierne; and the cop-per-wealthy M. Robert Guggenheim,

Elise Morrow with his young wife. i The Cafritz house is one of the sights of Washington. It has { Egyptian murals in the drawing room, linoleum murals in the { basement playroom, neon lights, a lucite stairway and the best view in the capital. It was further decorated for the party with

the Air Force brass, of course, not to mentign Army Chief of Staff i and Mrs. Omar Bradley. Mrs. Marnie Clifford, the beautiful blond 1% wife of the beautiful blond presidential assistant, Clark Clifford, ! came to the party disguised as a leopard, with a leopard-printed silk skirt and a leopard halo in her hair. Mrs. Whitney got Supreme Court Justice and Mrs. Stanley Reed, but Mrs. Cafritz topped her with not only Justice and Mrs. Harold Burton, but also Mrs. Fred Vinson, wife of the Chief ’ Justice-——and pouring tea, at that. On the other hand, while Mrs, Cafritz entertained Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Sohn W. Snyder ‘and Washington's leading banker, pink-cheeked Robert V. Fleming, Mrs. Whitney rounded up the president of the World Bank, John J. McCloy, and the handsomest Cabinet member, Stuart Symington, Secretary of the Air Force. : - The capital was also edified this week with a party at the Argentine Embassy. Parties are given in Washington in honor

of everything from the unveiling of the hostess’ portrait to the |

birthday of a horse, but we were called upon to believe the other day that there was cause for celebration of the fact that it was the third anniversary of the liberation from prison of Juan D. Peron, the dictator president of Argentina. At any rate, the Argentine ambassador here, a bachelor by name of Jeronimo Remorino, entertained at his'embassy on the third anniversary of this victory for democracy.

Honduras Ambassador Does Duty as Doorman

Next to Ambassador Munthe de Morgenstierne of Norway, the ambassador with the longest diplomatic service in Washi ton is Julian Caceres, ambassador of Honduras, who is so _thor-woughly-on-the. plump side.that. he. is. known as the Mr. Five-by-Five of the diplomatic corps. Mr. Caceres. is a cheerful, popurar man who has unfortunately been in ill health r tly and has been directed by his doctor to take it easy. A d i. has to go to parties, though, even if he must spare himself a bit. So there was the ambassador of Honduras at a reception the other day, ..With most of the guests clustered about a bar in the basement, while he was stranded a floor abovein the drawitig room.” Finally, Senor Caceres. approached the maid who was admitting guests at the front door. leading into the drawing room. “Listen,” he said, «make a nice democratic arrangement. . You go down to the bar and bring me a cocktail, and I will attend the door while you are gone.” Subsequent guests were startled, to say thé least, to discover that the man they thought at first glance to be the butler was actually thé ambassador himself, thirstily w aiting fo for the maid to return.

Nov. 21 Is Set for Ceremony

THE ENGAGEMENT of Miss Irene Saunders to Capt. L. M. Ludwig, United States Army, is announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. U. Saunders of Logan, W. Va. Miss Saunders is of Indianapolis, living at 3016 Meredith St. Capt. Ludwig is the son of Mrs. A. M. Ludwig, Columbus, O. A ‘military. ceremony is planned by the couple. They will exchange vows at 2 o'clock the afternoon of Sunday, Nov.

21, in the Ft. Benjamin Harrison Chapel. : Capt. Ludwig is on duty in the Federal building here as unit instructor for the Organized Reserve Corps.
