Houten will hide their colored eggs
land hunt them later just as the
American children do. Little Peter,
who is only two and a half and his
brother, Dirk Jan, are too young to
remember any other Easter except
the American way of observing it.
And so Dirk Jan and little Peter
and Emmy Hroenveld, a little girl
who lives with che Secretary and
Nine. van Houten, are celebrating
with both American and Dutch
games their second Easter in this
country.
DR. and Mrs. Van Houten will
have dinner party this afternoon,
but only for the members of their
own household, and Nine. Van
Houten will serve the ham and white
beans and salad that form the Dutch
Easter dinner with the bread that
she baked last Thursday in prep
aration for today's dinner.
In Chevy Chase another little
family of children in a strange coun-
try are celebrating Easter in the
manner of their own country. They
are Antoinette, Jean Louis and John
Pierre Chautemps, the children of
the former Premier of France and
Nine. ChautempS. They will have
colored eggs and rabbits this morn
ing, but there will be no guests at
their party, since the children are
eargerly awaiting the arrival this
afternoon of their elder sister Gisele,
now Sonora Guirola.
Sonora Guirola went to Guate-
mala soon after her marriage last
fall and this is her first visit home.
A typical American Easter party
for children will be held tomorrow
on the lawn of Mr.. and Mrs. J. c..
Dulin, jr, in Friendship Heights.
The egg-rolling party at the Dulin
home has been given for so many
years that it is now one of the ira
ditions of the community. 1t was
first planned when their own daugh-
ter, Jean Dulin, was little girl and
this years party is doubly interest
ing because the former Jean Dulin,
now Mrs. Grant Heston, came back
from Honolulu last week and will be
here to help her father and mother
with the party.
There are quite a number of Wis
itors in the Bethesda communities
who have come here to spend the
Easter season.
Lit. Comdr. Carl AslakSon and Mrs.
AslakSon have 1t ASlakson'S father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. F. Theo-
dore Aslakson of Philadelphia, as
their weekend guests. 1t. Aslakson
and Mrs. Aslakson are back again
in their home in Bethesda after an
absence of several months which
they spent in South America. Just
before they came back to the States,
1t. Comdr. and Mrs. Aslakson were
in Huancayo, Peru, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul G. Ledig are now living
and they took a trip with Mr.. Ledig
into the Amazon jungles.
Mrs. Ledig and Mrs. Aslakson
were classmates in college and were
closely associated in work with
young people when both families
lived in Bethesda.
