Among the guests admiring Blake Ashburner’s collection of Baroque paintings at his holiday luncheon were three Washington doyennes--Gertrude d’Amecourt, Lolo Sarnoff and Françoise Ellis--who are all widely admired themselves for their charm and chic.
If you’re clearing out your closet to make room for inaugural togs, Heather Dawn Thompson urges you to make prom night magical for the girls of the Cheyenne River Reservation, a Lakota community in Eagle Butte, South Dakota.
Help provide happy memories of this big event in the girls’ lives by sending the things they need but have no money to buy: prom dresses (up to size 24), evening bags, shoes, jewelry and cosmetics. Send by February 23 to the Cheyenne River Youth Project.
