Ambassador. Nine. Troyanovsky
We were sitting at lunch
con in the big sunshiny dining
room at the Embassy, talking
about the feeling of the Japanese
for color and sentiment and their
pleasant habit of giving presents,
when a butler bore in a beautiful,
festive cake. A cake iced with
pale pink and blue. Decorated
with a wreath of pink roses and
inscribed, in pink icing:
Greetings from Teruhisa."
While we admired the cake,
Madame Saito explained its
Significance. Always in Japan it
is the custom to call on a new born
baby Immediately after it enters
this world and leave present.
Also it is the custom for the baby
to promptly send presents to the
friends who have remembered
him.
Teruhisa, kicking up his pink
heels at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Otoshiro Kuroda,
probably didn't bake the cake.
He's less than a month old. But
he undoubtedly selected the colors
baby blue and pink.
Nine. Saito plays Nah Jong at
least once a week. Among her
partners are usually Nine. Erie
gun, wife of the Turkish Am
bassador, and Nine. Troyanovsky,
wife Of the Soviet Ambassador.
Nine. TroyanoVsky, by the way,
has an exquisite Nah Jong set.
It is of carved ivory and veyy
old.
Nine. Fulvio Suvich, wife of
the Italian Ambassador, is best
described as a "mondaine." You
can't translate the word into
English very well.
But it means handsome, we'll
dressed, poised, interested in
music, the theater, housekeeping,
party-giving, public life-a woman
who knows what is going on in
the world and keeps a little
ahead of the procession.
The italian Ambassador and
Nine. Suvich have two children.
And to them the embassy doesn't
seem overly large.
Nurseries, outfitted with gov
ernesses and toys, take up more
room than did the dogs Of the
previous Ambassador, Augusta
RoSso.
Official Washington is much
pleased that the Turkish Am
bassador Ertegun is not leaving
for The Hague. There was
possibility a few weeks ago that
he would go to Holland to sit
in the World Court. But it is
now certain that he will remain
here.
Little Selma Ertegun is back
at the Cathedral School where,
having daughters Of our own, we
grieve to report, she leads all OF
her classes.
Note from the lovely Eleanor
Tydings tells Of the fun of cam
paigning with ones husband. She
writes:
1--WE are now in Ohio, and we
are going on to Indiana. Last
week / ran back home to Oak
ingtOn at Havre de Grace for a
rest. / assure you it takes ply
steal stamina to carry on cam
paign.
But it's so exciting and in
spring to have even a small
part in this big job that don't
mind the extra effort. Willard
is having such a good time that
he's actually gaining weight"
Senator Tydings and his wife
are a refreshing pair of cam
paigners. Mrs. TydingS always
locks pretty, smiles easily and says
the gracious thing, as if she meant
it, which she does.
Nine. Rajamitri, the beautiful
wife of the Siamese Minister, says
the only question Of foreigners
that makes her cross is, do
al. the people in Bangkok ride on
elephants?"
]. E. Mollison, the British flier
who is about to be divorced from
his aviatrix wife. Amy MolliSon,
told some friends in Wilmington
last weekend that many filters out
to make a long-diStance record
across the ocean or on some SINH
lar hop get just as tight as pos
sible. Thus elated, they are not
conscious Of the dangers. In fact,
they don't care what happens to
them.
