VENEZUELAN AMBASSADOR DAUGHTER, 18
 DREAMS UP" SMART DRESSES FOR HERSELF
Easily Bored, She Keeps Herself Busy
c . 6
By ELEANOR RAGsDALE

By ELEANOR RAGsDALE (NEA Service Stan COFrespOndent)
 Washington. -senorita Maria Ter esq Escalante is o Good Neighbor anybody'd like to know. She's the daughter of the Venezuelan ambas- sador to Washington, Dr. Don Diogenas Escalante, and is an 1S- year-old combination of schoolgirl giggles and Parisian sophistication. Not long ago she was Queen Nicotina at the LaPlata, Maryland, tobacco festival.
 As she sprawls out on the lush embassy carpet, slashing satins and brocades into intriguing shapes for evening dresses of her own design, she looks like Q slender child who has just put her hair up for fun.
 The fact that she uses no pat terms or forms in her dressmaking -only a million pins-further heightens the illusion that she's just playing paper-dolls.
 HER DAY IS FULL
 OF ACTIVITY
 Then she gets self-conscious, murmurs severely to herself, "Mais, je suis idoite," and becomes the poised, serious, young lady who re- ceived most of her education in France, and knows lot about chem istry.
 In this reserved and dignifed mood Senorita Escalante gives you some glimpses into her daily S:30

to work as apprentice laboratory technician in a local hospital.
 'Tts 50 bad for the hands, though" l" she sighs ruefullys gazing down at her tapering fingers, devoid of nail lacquer. And with her Spanish French accent somewhat blurred by boredom; she adds, "An' no leep- steeck at the hospeetal either-eet always comes of on the pipettes."
 Then the senorita runs upstairs to slip into some of the smart dresses she has "dreamed up" for herself. Incidentally, she admits that although she does the drawing, cutting and pinning for her origi- nals, she lets her Industrious maid do most of the sewing. She is quick to assure you, however, that she knows very well how to make Q l1la- chine go. "But I seemply don' have the time."
 STUDIES FASHION DESIGN, COMMERCIAL ART
 Tn addition to her strenuous daily hospital duty, she keeps on with classes in fashion design and con- nercial art at Washington studio.
 Finally, engaging much of her leisure are ofilcial functions at the white and chromium embassy Washingtons most modern diplo- matic residence.
 Gliding about among distinguished guests at receptions and dinners, chic Maria Teresa makes Q charm ing guide aS she shows visitors the colcrful murals and native Venezue- Ian paneling which adorn the ern- bassy.
