Commodore Brodeur came to
Washington from British Columbia
where he was commanding officer
of the Pacific fleet and in Victoria,
British Columbia. where he and his
family lived they made many
friends. Commodore Brodeur being
the senior naval officer there. much
of the official entertaining fell TO

popular hostess. She is a native
of Bradford in Yorkshire, England.

Brodeur was a widow for some years
before her marriage to the Canadian

other sons in the family, one with
the Royal Canadian Air Force and

before returning to his studies in
Canada.
Mrs. Brodeur has other accom-
plishments than that of a charming
hostess. She is gifted with a beau
tlful voice and plays the piano. These
gifts, however, she uses only for her
own pleasure and that of her family.

Canadian Army officer she was Miss
Sally Lang, her father being

Thatcher School in California. Col
and Mrs. LetSon propose to take
house in Washington, but are re-
naming at the Shoreham until they
find one TO their liking.
