Monday the Dresden Boys
Choir began one of Ambassa-
dor Luther's hospitable after
moons with: "Oh, Say, Can You
See by Zee Dawn's Early Light"
For the past month the Soviet
Embassy has had weekly must
Gales. The Polish Ambassador
entertained guests last week
with brilliant songs by the
Polish soprano. Madame Brod-
naska. Then loaned its prima
donna to Ambassador Troya-
novSky for his concert the next
night.
At almost the same time
Madame Brodnaska was sing

the Soviet government.

threatening.

one of the sightseers said to
the other:
Gracious! This looks just
like Mrs. Roosevelt was having
one of her receptionS!"
The friend shifted a little
and said:

these people. They're so sort
Of simple looking"

Certainly it's a reception.
Just look there. That's Ger
tainly somebody really impOr-

A limousine, half as long as
the Department of Commerce,
drew up before the portico. A
footman sprang off the front
seat. Clicked his heels. Opened
the door. Bowed.
Out stepped little Mary Horn

Monitor.
The Misses de Hellebranth,
whose paintings are on exhibit

tomorrow at the Royal Hunga'
yian Legation.
/ Douglas Chandor is the grand
son of a distinguished Hun
garian. The Hungarian spell
ing of the name is "Sandor."
But the pronunciation is the
same as if the spelling were
"Chandor." A street in Buda-
pest is named for a famous
Count Sander.
