DEAR SUSAN:

DEAR SUSAN:
Washington has been visited by so
many missions since the United
states entered the war a year ago
asst spring that the matter Of their
entertainment has been somewhat
.tandardized. On their arrival the
members of the mission are greeted
~ an official escort. usually headed
ny the Secretary of State, and arc
conveyed at once to the commodious
Iuarters reserved for them. Next
cay they make their official call upon
the Secretary of State and are pre-
5ented by him to the President, who
usually receives them in the Blue
Room. hallowed by so many historic
meetings.
Then begins the round of enter
aiming with q dinner at the White
House usually occupying a prominent
place on the social program 1t is
according to Hoyle for the Secretary
Of State to give two functions. one
dinner and the other reception or
garden party in the Pan-AmeriCan
Union building. Sometimes ladies
are included among the guests at the
White Housean at the Secretary OF
States dinner. and sometimes they
are stag affairs; but ladies almost
always grace the larger functions by
their presence.
Thus auspiciously launched, the
mission is taken down the line by
official society, Cabinet members and
other notables giving dinners and
luncheons- in their honor, and usU-
ally a number Of unofficial folk are

hostesses. They are likely to be per-
sons who at one time or another have
had some diplomatic connection with
the country represented by the mis-
sion or who have previously lived
among the people.
