Polo Match Today Heads Series of Benefits Which Will Draw Social Set

Interesting Fashion Show and Motion Picture Premier Also Scheduled for War Relief

By MARGARET HART, Society Editor.

Today is the day for the brilliant and exciting polo match to be

staged on beautiful Potomac Park's polo field. Twofold interest centers around the affair for not only will the spectators be witnessing the first game in the history of polo in which all-star players will be on

one field together they also will be fulfilling a desire—to aid war-torn

Britain. For every penny raised by the match will go to the fund being raised for mobile canteens and mobile surgical units in England. The

Foxcroft Unit in London, composed of graduates from Miss Charlotte Noland's school, all of whom are married to Englishmen, and who

are working among the suffering and destitute in England, will receive

the money realized by the game which is sponsored by the Foxcroft

Alumnae members here and through the Bundles for Britain Committee.

Success is Assured

By Work of Hostesses.

Leading hostesses in the capital have been working like beavers

for days to assure success to the worthy benefit and Washington has

become no little polo conscious so widespread has been the heralding of

the match. The audience won’t be composed of high-ranking officers

of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, diplomats officials and social

leaders alone. There are 10.000 seats, room for every one, whether It

Diplomats And Their Activities

Regret Expressed Over Retirement Of Chilean Envoy

Much regret is felt at the retire- ment of the Chilean Ambassador and Senora de Cabero, who will leave Washington November 6 for their native land. No official an-

nouncement has been made as to

his successor and after his depar- ture the Counselor of the Embassy, Senor Don Guillermo Gazitua. will be Charge d’Affaires until the ar-

rival of a new Ambassador. The retiring Ambassador and

Senora de Cabero have made many friends during their comparatively short time at this Capital, the Am- bassador having presented his cre-

dentials In May of last year.

the luncheon hour, .with the mem-

showers of lilies of the valley around a center of orchids.

Secretary .and Mrs. Stimson Will Receive for Heads Of War Department

Newspaper Women’s Club to Give Tea for New Cabinet Members; Black and White Ball Plans

Autumn has come to social Washington, as a tang comes in the air and color in the trees, and dates for parties are set and more than one of the annual fetes are planned again. One of the delightful parties of the early autumn will be the reception Saturday afternoon for which the new Secretary of War and Mrs. Henry L. Stimson have issued invita- tions in honor of the Chief of Staff. U. S. A and Mrs. George C. Marshall and the chiefs of divisions of the War Department and their families. The reception will be held at Woodley, the charming old home of the Sec- retary and Mrs. Stimson on Cathedral avenue. The return to Wash- ington of Secretary and Mrs. Stimson was welcome news to their wide circle of friends here for they were members of another cabinet when the Secretary held the portfolio of the State Department and their visits here since that time have been all too infrequent. Newspaper Women’s Club Will Give Cabinet Tea.

Mrs. Stimson will stand beside Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the Secre- tary of State, at the tea tomorrow which the Newspaper Women s Club will give in honor of the new members of the cabinet. The tea is an annual event for these newspaper women for each autumn they open their season with a party for the members of the President s official family. This year the event has the added interest of being the first time the new members of this group have been in a receiving line since assuming their new posts. Mrs. Hull as the ranking hostess among the associate members of the club will receive with the president and other officers of the- group. The Secretary of War will join the party late if affairs of the department permit and others who will receive will be the Attorney General and Mrs. Robert H. Jack- son, the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Claude R. Wickard, and the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Jesse H. Jones. Wives of former members of the cabinet, who are associate members of the club, so- ciety editors of the local papers and former society editors will be among the assistants. Mrs. Dunlap to Resume Black and White Ball.

Mrs. William Laird Dunlop, Jr.,! has decided to resume her Black and White Ball for the debutantes this season—which is good news to the younger set, especially, as for the past eleven years this has been an

outstanding event of the debutante season. The ball will be held No- vember 18 at the ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel, and will be the tenth Black and White Ball to be held in Washington. Last year Mrs. Dunlop did not give the ball, owing to an illness from which she was a

long time in recovering, but the memory of the last ball she gave still lingers.

Each year Mrs. Dunlop selects an outstanding debutante of the season to head the receiving line of debu- tantes—and at her last ball Miss j Eleanor Roosevelt, niece and name- j (Continued on Page D-3, Column 4.) l
