an entrance at 1853 Blagden avenue,
Mr.. and Mrs. Seal now are estab-
Nshed in their new home at BIG

The newly appointed Minister
speaks English fluently and no
doubt Nine. Liautaud also has a

probably will bring the younger
members Of their family with them
when they come next week. M.

homeland before assuming new
post either at the Foreign Office or
some other capital.
Several informal parties will be
arranged within the next 10 days
in honor of Senator Uriel Garcia
OF Cuzco, Peru, who is member
of the Upper House of the Peruvian
Congress. Senator Garcia is ex-
pected to arrive today and as he
has a very keen interest in the his
tory Of the Indian and his problems
he will spend much of his time at
the Library of Congress. However,
officials of the division of cultural
relations of the State Department
will give a luncheon in his honor
and his personal friends on the
Peruvian Embassy staff also will ar
range one or more fetes for him in
the next 10 days. All these parties
will be small and informal in keep
Ing with the times.
Another visitor whose stay in
Washington is the cause of several
informal parties is Mrs. Henry w.
Kaiser of Portland, Greg. Mrs.
Kaiser now spends much of her
time in New York, as Mr.. Kaiser
comes so frequently to Washington
and other Eastern cities for confer
ences on war production. Yester-
day Mrs. Barnet Mover asked sew
eral guests to meet her Informally
at luncheon at the Mayf1ower and
Nine. Soong, wife of the Prime Min
lister of China, DR.. T. v. Soong, was
the ranking guest. Others included
Mrs. William o. Douglas, wife Of
the Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and Mrs. James F.
Byrnes, wife of the director OF eco
nomic sterilization. Mrs. Douglas
was dressed in a tailored costume
with a wide rimmed, off-the-face
hat of tan. Countess van Rechteren
Limpurg, wife of the Counselor of
the Netherlands Legation, who also
was among the guests, was having
Q holiday from her duties as a
nurses aide and her work in con-
nection with the Netherlands relief
and the Community War Fund
drive. She gives eight hours a day
three times a week at the hospital
and what is left from her house
hold duties she deyotes to the other
two interests. Nine. Soong, wear
ing a severely plain Chinese gown
of green with tiny gold nailheads all
over the bodice and short sleeves,
had a deep red flower on top OF
her jet black hair, and her gloves
and pocketbook matched the flower.
Countess van Rechteren Limpurg
also had a large red pocketbook
matching the red on her hat, but
hers were bright red, which gave
color to her smartly tailored suit.
Mrs. Byrnes was dressed in brown
with which she wore an interesting
silver necklace, and Mrs. Bruce
Smith. who sat next her, wore black
with a flower hat of yellow and
black.
Mrs. Kaiser, who will be here
through this week, chose a costume
of taupe crepe trimmed with
touches of velvet in the same shade
and a matching hat. She told OF
the launching of the first victory
ship, which was the first vessel she
cav 20 down the ways. She also
related that in place of the several
dozens of roses of large clusters OF
orchids which formerly were given
to sponsors of ships, bouquets made
of Defense stamps are now pre-
sented. These-if they are large
enough-can be very expensive. but
the money goes into the war effort
Of the Governemnt and the one
who christens the ship has a last
Ing bouquet Of considerable value.
The favorite stamps for these bou-
cuets is the red Decent stamp, the
flowers" placed in holder and
tied with red, white and blue rib
hons, making a very worthwhile
