Summer for Society (Continued from page 27) Lodge. Cesar Romero and Joel McCrea and equestriennes like Irene Ware, Adrienne Ames. Mrs. Walter King and Mrs. Charles Laughton were invited. The first part of the party was a well planned English hunt over the Bel-Air bridle paths and thickets. Back to Binnie's lovely new English type home came the hunters with appetites whetted, but there was never a sign of a cocktail. Instead there was a mouth-watering array of English foods and Binnie was soon pouring tea. Food was arranged much like our American buffet luncheon, but it was ever so much more fun feeling that here at last was a perfectly appointed English high tea right in our little Hollywood. Dinner at Merle Oberon's VITITH Mickey Balcon in town, ** Binnie Barnes having that high tea and Merle Oberon entertaining at those charming, intimate dinners it seems the English have a monopoly on the Hollywood social life this month. Those dinners at Merle's rarely include more than eight people, but they are glamorous and shimmery like the exotic star herself. She has taken a lovely beach home in Santa Monica and in it of a dinner hour you'll find the Countess di Frasso, Constance Collier, Rowland Brown — and most often David Nivens. There seems to be a very definite romance between Merle and David whose parents are of the Scottish nobility. They were "very good friends" in London and insist that is all they are here, but it all looks highly romantic. Incidentally Merle Oberon's autograph has become one of the most prized among the gatherers of such about this town and recently her dinner was interrupted by some kiddies who heard she had moved into the house and walked blocks and blocks to get the signature. Merle not only gave it graciously, but the lads went trudging back with cake as well as autographs. Over at Dolores Del Rio's QUITE the grandest of the season's tennis parties was the modernistic affair conjured by Dolores Del Rio and her husband, Cedric Gibbons. Dolores greeted her guests early in the afternoon wearing a white linen sports dress, looking so cool and well turned out that we could scarcely believe it when Cedric assured us Dolores had already whizzed through a set of tennis that morning. Gloria Swanson was there with Herbert Marshall. She was wearing a sports frock of white pean d'ange, which is a sort of a dull finished boucle, with a three-quarter swagger coat of jade and one of those tiny, white, slightly brimmed hats that nobody can do such justice to as the svelte Gloria. While the husbands, including Irving Thalberg, Joel McCrea and Freddy March, betook themselves to the courts the ladies retreated to that amazing garden pavilion of the Gibbonses which modernistically has a compass inlaid on the floor. Dolores poured the cocktails assisted by her very close friend, Lili Damita. Dorothy Jordan confided for the first time that she plans to make an early comeback in pictures. She's a mother now, but thinks her youngster will be able to get along without her now and Out of yo« SCT""g basket come level, wi useful thtugs. / IF you like to sew, these diagram patterns will bring you many new things.

Y. then while she returns to work After everyone had a refreshing dip in the pool a buffet supper was served in the pavilion. This time Dolores appeared as if by magic in white crepe hostess pajamas with a crimson sash and ruby earrings, holding up her reputation as Hollywood's most distinctively dressed lady. Just "Plane" Talk TX/'HEN Harvey Stephens goes traveling it's by plane; when he relaxes he creates model airplanes in his workshop, and when he reads it's about the latest gadgets for gliders or such, so when the Stephenses go social you can jolly well bank on it the motiff will have two winks and a propeller. At one of their small, informal dinner parties, Bee, Harvey's vivacious little wife, thought she'd rib Harvey a bit about his hobby. Everyone was instructed to keep pressing the most insane questions about them on Harvey. When the guests arrived the house was decked from top to bottom with planes. The table motiff was strictly up in the air. Louise Henry started the ribbing off by asking Harvey what the speed limit was in the air-lanes. Maureen O'Sullivan wanted to know if it made any difference which way the propellor spun. Harvey was very patient until Cesar Romeo asked, "Is it true that when a person orders his 'eggs over' for lunch on a transcontinental plane that the plane loops?" Tennis With Torres You know what they did to contract bridge as soon as we thought we had mastered it — and now Raquel Torres had up and done the same thing to tennis. Of a Sunday afternoon all the tennis enthusiasts flock to the lovely home of Raquel and her husband, Stephen Ames, and now those ingenious racketeers have completely gummed up our comprehension of the game. The counting and the color of the balls is the thing they've changed and a scorekeeper must be there all the time to keep track of the points. A red ball must be served first. If it is no good a blue ball is served — but the penalty for missing on the first ball means that every point scored by the server is reduced to a half point until he serves again. The counting is 1. 2. 3. 4, Game! Raquel is such a good player she never has to resort to the blue ball and Rochelle Hudson is an even match for her. However, W. C. Fields says he'll stick to juggling balls on the side of the court. Did you know that Raquel has started the fad of pale blue lacquered fingernails? It's rather startling but attractive. Another rendezvous for tennis these hot summer days is the John Murdock Jrs. where you'll see George Murphy and his wife giving Cesar Romero with Sally Blane or Patricia Ellis a real workout. And, oh, yes. Garbo has switched from George Brent to John Gilbert for her tennis partner. Tom Sings tor His Supper "Johnny Downs has lost his suit and all is hurly-burly. While he searches near and searches far we'll starve with Miss Anne Shirley." It was Tom Brown's idea if you sing when you're hungry you'll forget the pangs, so while the younger set waited for Johnny Downs to find his dress (Please turn to page 68) NEW KIND OF dry rouge STAYS ON ALL DAY ... or all night!
