Capital Capers—

* Irish Statesman With Eyes ‘Like Svengali’ Will Be Feted

By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Feb. 24—An Irish statesman who speaks English with a French accent and has eyes like Svengali, and a Virginia-born woman who is a member of *he British Parliament, will provide the capital with

However, she will be entertained extensively by, among others, Adm, and Mrs. Harold | Stark. ” ” ” RECENT PARTIES have offered more conclusive proof than ever that ostensible reasons for social life bear little relation to reality—it is the parties themselves.

The Egyptian Ambassador and Madame Abdul Rahim have done an excellent job of rescuing Egypt from the rather low estate it had fallen to here in Washington, They have done it by concentrating on exclusiveness and elegance, in considerable contrast to things as they were. Now it takes a real artist to crash their parties.

Lavish and Exotic

THE EGYPTIAN reception was like something out of a Cecil B. De Mille extravaganza, and more lavish and exotic than almost any held recently. Towering, dark skinned Nubians from the Sudan, done up in Wine colored and purple outfits, with fez-like hats on their heads, moved among the guests with food and drink. The Ambassador and his wife received, not in the drawing room or hall, but in a “private antiquities museum” which they have just added to the Embassy. They stood to receive in front of a 4000-year-old statue which looked most appropriate in the line. Madame Rahim wore diamonds, flowers girdled her waist like a belt, and she had gardenias at the neckline. {

Sheer rayon crepe with a pointed white pique collar, button tie at the neck, and elbow sleeves cuffed in the same pique will give a crisp, well groomed look. White pique pocket flaps are used to create skirt interest, White pique gilets, good to use for filling In low scoop necklines, can be trimmed with buttons and a stirf bow. Baretop chambrays or shining “polished” cottons in glorified styles for evening are converted to daytime use in a jiffy by the addition of a jacket, weskit, redingote or duster— excellent in white pique.

Most Hectic Time

RELAXING with a Manhattan and the evening paper before dinner is another bit of bliss that may have to be put away with your wedding gown. Unless you can afford a maid, or unless the man of the house arrives home much later than you do, that time is the most hectic time of the day for you.

Spanish Motif THE ROMANCE between the United States and Spain, finally legalized when we recognized Spain diplomatically last month, grows more intense all the time, The latest on this front was a luncheon given by Mrs. Owen’ Brewster, wife of the Senator from Maine, at the Mayflower. The guest of honor was Senora Lequerica, wife of the Spanish ambassador, and Mrs. Brewster outdid herself in rapturous salute to Spain with the menu. She ordered all possible food {fn the Spanish colors, yellow and red. The first course was a fruit cup, as yellow and red as possible, and the dessert was raspberry and lemon ice running together. The table was centered with yellow and red

tulips. Guests who shared in all this loveliness were Mrs. Walter George, wife of the Senator

from Georgia; Mrs, Karl Mundt, wife of the Senator from South Dakota; Mrs, Everett Dirksen, wife of the Senator from Illinois; Nellie Tayloe Ross, Director of the Mint; Baroness von Schoen, whose husband is-~ a former German diplomat, and Mrs. George Malone, wife of the Senator from Nevada.

Leave orange pinching and light gossip with the butcher to the happy housewife who has nothing but housekeeping to do.

Balanced Meals

KEEP YOUR meals, even for company fare, well balanced and easy to prepare. Gourmet dishes are delightful to serve, but they take time and painstaking preparation. You don’t want to spend your few leisure hours building rainbow parfaits and glazing rose leaves. Sunday should be a day of rest for everyone—even working wives. It is a day for swimming, skating, picnics in the woods, visiting good friends,

and entertaining undemanding guests. It should never become the day on which you do the week's ironing, wash your hair, or paint the kitchen furniture. Those tasks can -be sandwiched in during the week if you budget your time wisely. And if the time budget slips a little, and you do not accomplish in a week all you planned to accomplish, take it calmly. There are other weeks before you. Holding your job successfully, cooking palatable meals, and keeping house efficiently are very important. But what is more important is keeping yourself on even keel. Try not to become so solemn about your role of careerist-wife that you amuse, or, what is worse, bore

If you think it can, it is time to check up on your sense of proportion.
