Brilliant Reception for President Elect of Brazil and
Nine. PessOa--Dnners Precede Fete
BY JEAN ELIOT.

r ACH fete at the Pan American
Building is loveIier than the
- last. And certainly the recep-
ton given there. last evening by the
Acting Secretary Of State and Mrs
Frank l.. Polk in honor Of the
President elect Of Brazil. DR.. Epitacio
Pessoa- and Nine. Pessoa was a hitting
tribute to the chief executive of our
great sister republic.
II wasn't a large party as Pan
American parties go. but il was
very brilliant event, and almost
everybody of Importance in official
Iife-ssvs- only those who are absent
overseas was present to do honor to
DR.. Pessoa and his charming wife
l. was also picturesque party. for
the gardens were strung with Jap
anese lanterns. quantities OF wee COL
ored lights were tucked away in the
shrubbery and electric bulbs hidden
away beneath the rim of the pool
threw into high relief the lilies float
ing on its waters and the brooding
Sad Indian" which is the presiding
genius Of the Aztec garden. Finally
il was a most enjoyable party. for
there was dancing in the Hall of the
Americas throughout the evening,
supper was served on the nroad ter
race overlooking the garden, and the
guests were privileged to wander dt
will through the box bordered paths.
Much regret was expressed at the
necessary absence Of President Will
son. for he long ago established the
precedent OF attending state functions
in honor OF visiting dignitaries, and
his presence adds a touch of pomp
and ceremony otherwise lacking.
However, the Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall were there. arriving early,
staying late. and mingling with the
guests in the friendliest and most in
formal fashion. The Secretary of the
Navy, and Mrs. Daniels were present,
likewise the Secretary Of Commerce.

be remedied or ameliorated."
