Are Warmly Greeted.

well after 7 o'clock for conversation
with others recently returned from
brief vacations or newcomers to the
Official or diplomatic ranks. The Vice
President and Mrs. Henry A. Wal
lace and Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of
the Secretary of State, were warmly
greeted by their scores of personal
friends among the Latin Americans

Wallace looked particularly pretty
yesterday in black, the daintily en-
broidered batiste collar Frightening
the severity of the black, and her
sailor hat having a bird on the
crown. She was making headWay in
her Spanish, which she recently
started to study, the Vice President
having mastered the language some
time ago.
Mrs. Hull, stately and gracious,
also wore black, the lapels on her
bodice of white and her becoming
black hat had moderately wide
brim. Mrs. Henry L. Stimson, wife
of the Secretary of War, and Mrs.
Jesse Jones, wife of the Secretary
of Commerce, we're others in the
cabinet circle who attended. Mrs.
Stimson wore her favorite wine

white hair, and Mrs. Jones was in
black, the light blue trimming on
her hat relieving the black.
