Interesting Addition to Diplomatic Set
Ne1V chilean Embassy Secretary
Is Sixth Rodriguez in Corps
BY Katharine Brooks.

The diplomatic corps will have
another Rodriguez when the newly
appointed secretary of the Chilean
Embassy, Senor Ramon Rodriguez
Reviera, arrives shortly after the
middle of December. The corps
already boasts four, although the
attache of the Brazilian Embassy,
Senior Henrique Rodrigues Vale,
srells his name with an s instead
OF z. The counselor OF the Chilean
Embassy, Senor Don Mario Rodri-
guez, was expecting to leave this
post for duty in his foreign office
before the first Of the year and
he and Sonora de Rodriguez were
ready to pack when orders came to
await the arrival of his successor
who has yet to be named. So
Washington will enjoy having them
here for time longer. Senor Rod
riguez has not had duty at the for
eign Office for 13 years so he prob
ably will be back there early next
year. The many friends of Senor
and Sonora de Rodriguez, the lat
Wa AoiA AAASlAS INAAoo 4SAol JOl AC dulld1l,
daughter of Mrs. Fitzhugh Talman
and the late Mr.. Talman Of WASH
ington, will have ample opportunity
to bid them au revoir at various in
formal fetes before they really
leave.
The newly appointed secretary Of
the Chilean Embassy, although a
Rodriguez, is not related to the
counselor. He will bring with him
to Washington his bride, the for
mer Senorita Eliana Chadwick Or
tuzar, who is the daughter Of Senor
Alberto Chadwick Ortuzar and Sem
ora de Ortuzar Of Santiago. Their
wedding took place in Santiago Oc-
tober 81 and the bride is descended
from British families who went to
Chile and settled in the northern
section of the country and from one
of these ancestors came the name
of Chadwick.

and a full skirt which ended in a
long train. Her tulle veil, which
extended to the end of her train
was held in place with a coronet OF
orange blossoms, and she carried a
bouquet of bouvardia and white
roses.
Her four attendants, the Misses
Ann-Carline and Cynthia Borden
Miss Ann Sacks, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George Sacks of Chevy
Chase, and Miss Leila Roig of New
York, wore gowns of blue velveteen
made exactly like that of the bride
and wreaths of leaves of matching
blue velveteen. Their bouquets were
of American Beauty roses.
Mr.. Frank Knowlton of Milton
Mass, served as best man for his
brother and the ushers were, an

Of physical examinations given prior
to their entrance into the various
health programs, are any criterion,
Miss Richards says. then American
women are 80 per cent more health
conscious this year even than they
were last because already over 5000
young women have taken the ex-
aminations in 1943 as against 1000
at this time last year.
A good many of the buster war
workers find that the wonderful
massage department and the sola-
rum treatments are more beneficial
and relaxing when they are tired
than the exercises, Miss Richards
told us.

about all this extra influx?" we

summer program completely around

fourth went into nurses training We
have started our new winter pro-
gram with new guards, new Office

larger but things seem to be running

because the public has grown more

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Were you ever terribly fright

vas caught in a wire rattrap in
Farmer Browns corncrib. He was
caught-there was no doubt about
it! His sharp teeth were Of no use
at all on those hard wires. He
could look out between them, but he
couldn't get out. He was too fright
ened to think. His heart pounded
against his sides until it hurt. He
forgot all about that queer food he
had so wanted to taste and which
was right before him now. Indeed,
he felt as II he never, never would
want to eat again. What was going
to happen to him now? What
would Farmer Browns boy do to
him when he found him there?

the wood Is used for mine props,

uses too numerous to mention.
Still, the blue spruce is best known
as an ornamental tree, and it is so
used in Europe. A tree that will live
to be over 500 years old becomes q
landmark. It will continue to live
and beautify the landscape for many
generations, and for this reason blue
spruce has been selected for city
parks and large estates.
Because Of the number OF trees
needed during this critical time, 1t
Is our privilege to plant as many rs

to learn what trees we should plant

Only If a long spade could be set

spades could be ruffed three times,

the nine and one other trump than
that the nine would drop singleton
Therefore, South decided to play
West for the nine Of hearts.

therefore, South led the spade to
dummys ace, ruffed a low spade
with the jack of trump, then
led the four Of hearts. West
played the six and dummy finessed
with the eight. Declarer then
ruffed another spade with an honor
and led the five Of trump to dunn
