The first entertainment to be.
given in the Iran legation in sew
eral years will be the reception
Friday afternoon for which the Min
lister has issued invitations. 1t is
unfortunate that Nine. Schayesteh
will not be here in time for the
party, which will celebrate the BIRTH
day anniversary of His Imperial
Majesty Ria Shah Pahlavi. How
ever, she will be welcomed when she
does come and no doubt the lega-

ture of M. Chatter Khan Djalal in
March, 1886, although the legation
was opened in January of last year

as Charge d'AffaireS. 1t was M.
Djalal who moved the legation to
the attractive house at 23l5 Massa-
chusettS avenue from the home of
Mrs. Isaac T. Mann on 18th street
at o where the legation had been
for year. DR.. Daftary remained
short time at this post, spending
some weeks of that period in Cuba
where he also was Trans Charge
d'Affaires. Since his departure the
second week in January, Mr.. H.
Hadjeb-Davallou, Secretary, has had
charge of the legation
Nine. Schayesteh has with her in
Florida her son, Ahmed, age 6, and
her baby daughter, born in Teheran
shortly before the family started on
the long journey to Washington.
