companied to Washington by Sen
ora de Gonzalez Resille and their
2-year-old son, Antonio, jr. Tenn
porarlly they are staying at the
Fairfax while hunting a suitable
house. Sonora de Gonzalez Reville,
like Sonora de Morrice, is a native of
Panama but speaks English fiuently
and will take her place among the
popular young matrons of that cir
Gle.
The South African Minister and
Mrs. Ralph William Close are stay
ing in their attractive legation op-
posite the British Embassy through
the summer. 1t has been their Gus
tom since the war to spend the
very hot months at the Chevy Chase
Club, but this year-transportation
being what it iS-they had to forego
even that. RumorS of the visit of
their Premier, Marshal Jan Chris
tan Smuts to Washington continue,
but until he safely arrives on these
shores there probably will be no
official announcement. When he
does come-and it is hoped the visit
will be in September-the popular
Minister and Mrs. Close will en-
tertain in his honor at their lega-
ton.
The Minister and Mrs. Close had
q visit from their daughter, Mrs
Tom Mann of England, a very short
time before war began and she
made many friends in this Capital
during that stay. Since the war
Mrs. Mann has organized and had
charge of large group of wives
OF British naval officers who have
been knitting for the men in the
British service. Mrs. Mann has had
charge of getting the wool supplies
from London for the knitters. She
recently gave up this work to take
a much needed vacation and wrote
her parents that she had spent
quiet little time in Edinburgh and
Northern Scotland. Neither the
Minister nor Mrs. Close knows
whether she has resumed this work
or taken up another part of the
war effort. Comdr Mann, who is
with the Royal Navy now, is on
duty in England.
