ISHBEL LIKES LONG SKIRTS
CHOCOLATE PREFERRED It is quite evident that Miss Ishbel MacDonald, is one of those who prefer long skirts, for her coats and afternoon frocks reach mid-way between her knee and ankle as a rule. For Mrs Dawes’s tea party at the' American Embassy (remarks a correspondent) she wore a long bln© coat, and hat pulled over her eyes to match, and was probably the only woman in the room with no fur either in the shape of a collar or a stole. Mrs Baldwin, who is starting her At Homes again, wore a sable coat. •Madame do Fleurian had a Persian lamb one. These coats are still very popular. The most delicate foaming hot chocolate, poured out of big tea urns, was preferred by nearly everyone .to tea at this party. Mrs Dawes had collected a number of friends to pour out for her at tea tables placed in the four corners of the ballroom, so that there' was no crush round a long buffet. Tablecloths with exquisite pieces of lace inset, which are Embassy treasures, were used on the tables.
