DR.. and Nine. Pessoa took their
stand with Mr.. and Mrs. Pork at the
! entrance of the Hall of the Americas
/ to receive the guests; and later in the
| evening they made a tour Of the rooms
with their hosts. stopping frequently

thread. The girdle and a narrow
panel train were fashioned of the
cloth of gold and her hair was
bound with a wide fillet of cloth Of
gold edged with brilliants. A single
gay yellow lily was caught at the
waist line.
In view OF the fact that Nine.
Pessoa has been spending several
weeks in Paris and doubtless
purchasing the trousseau which she
will wear as First Lady of Brazil,
There was more than a little interest
in her gown. In fact, not a few Of
the guests were guilty of staring.

tremendously interested in what is
going on about him and the person
he chances TO be talking TO.
Pretty little Miss PessOa wore the
simplest of pink satin frocks yelled
in blue gray chiffon and depending
upon a girdle of bright COlored flowers

and watermelon pink-for a touch of
originality Mrs. Folks gown was Of
soft ivory satin gracefully draped,
with shoulder bands of jet. Mrs. Mar

brocaded in gold and trimmed in gold
colored tulle.
For once it appeared that the digni-
taries Jared rather less well than
those below the salt" as DR.. and
Nine. Pessoa. Mr.. and Mrs. Polk. ana
