as hosts.
1t served to bring together prac
tically all of the officials, diplomats
and other representatives of society
in town. And there were many
more Of all sets than one would
have believed except for the seeing
The reception began promptly al
10 O'Clock, with the receiving
party standing as usual at The
entrance to the Hall of the Amer
icas on the upper floor. At the
head of the line was the Minister
who introduced the guests to Mrs
Kellogg, who, in turn, passed them
on to the Secretary OF State, anc
he to Nine. James Freyre and Sc
on down the line until Ramon
Pando, Bolivian Consul General in
New York, Senorita Yolanda
Jaimes Freyre and Victor Jaimes
Freyre. daughter and son of the
hosts, and Captain Rivera, former
w military attache OF the legation
here, had been greeted.
Mrs. Kellogg was very lovely In
a cool gown of blush gray chiffon,
made on straight lines and elabo-
rateIy embroidered in crystal beads
She carried a large fan OF ccque
feathers, which she used frequently
while standing in the receiving line.
Nine. Freyre was handsome In
a gown of black lace made over
q purplish georgette slip. A laven-
dar-tinted flower at the waist-line
completed the costume.
The slender little daughter OF the
hosts was a vivacious sprite in white
chiffon embroidered in crystals and
caught at the left shoulder with
a white flower. Her frock was
made very simply and was becom-
inRly short. She and her attrac-
tive young brother seemed to be
very muchs EN- rapport"
At IL o'clock an orchestra played
ssThe Star-Spangled Banner after
which Bolivia's national anthem was
played, which marked the conclu-
sion of the formal reception. Then
the dancing began to syncopation
furnished by two colored orchestras
stationed at the south end OF the
hall, which played alternately.
Having a coIored orchestra was
an innovation in Pan-American
parties Some dancers were enthu-
siastic about the snap and jazz
Of the orchestras and others were
not so sure. However, the floor
was filled with dancers until well
into this morning.
A buffet supper was served
throughout the evening in the sec
ton, usually reserved for distin-
guished guests, at the north end of
the hall. The service table was
adorned with q huge basket Of hol-
lyhocks in the center.
Summer Pan-AmeEfcan
Parties Please Girls
Such functions in summer are
tremendously satisfactory to the
girls, who have chosen to vacation
in Washington; for every girl can
have all the beaux she wishes and
then some extra. Groups of good
looking. bachelor diplomats, who
have been left behind to man the
embassies and legations while the
chiefs seek refreshment in cooler
chimes. were conspicuous last eve
ring by their numbers. And their
wistful gaZes when a sought-for
partner was not theirs
AZ far as Washington society Is
concerned the theory, Of compensa-
ton certainly applies in the strug-
giles the South American countries
bad to achieve their indeI.endence.
Practically every one of them has
a sort of Fourth of July to cele-
brate. which usually means one
OF those fascinating functions at
the Pan-American.
The Spanish ambassador, Senior
Riano. just missed being at the re-
ception by having left Washington
: few hours earlier for Fillmore,
N. c., where he viii visit Mrs
UonAArhiIf
It did not seem inapprop late that
Ambassador Riano was absent, for
while he is a nice, likable man, and
while there can be little national
bitterness at this date between the
two countries-stiI1 little Bolivia, as
we'll as the other South American
countries, have their celebrations
to a large extent, because Spain
was generally objectionable.
Some Among
those Present
The Argentine Ambassador and
Nine. Pueyrredon and their three
charming older daughters were
there. The Pueyrredons AMI the
Freyres are the best Of friends. The
latter have spent much tirne i'll
Argentina where they kew the
Pueyrredon family long before com
ing to Washington.
Then there appeared for the first
time at an official function In
Washington the new Minister OF
Egypt and Mime. Samy. The most
brilliant spot of color in the as
semblage was the red fez on the
Egyptian minister's head. He and
his lovely wife spent much OF TIE
evening in conversation with the
Charge d'Affaires of Persia and
Nine. Kazemi-the latter looking
really beautiful.
Another outstanding guest WAS Tho
former minister Of the Dominican
republic, Francisco Peynado, who is
In town for a few days, haVine
come down from New York. He
so IL Is reported, has the distinction
Of being the first defeated candidat.
for the presidency in his country
who congratulated his successful
opponent on winning the office. Thii
happened recently. So, Ii seems tn,
good sport" idea has gone far.
Doctor Marinovitch. of the lega
ton OF the Serbs, Croats, and Slo
venes, was there, too. He is Away
an outstanding figure at any func
ton. 1t was good to see hin
dancing last evening. Certainly h.
has stood on the sidelines OF bal
rooms in Washington long enough
