Like most diplomatic wives,
Baroness de Gruben, wife of the
Counselor CT the Belgian Embassy
is twice as busy with volunteer war
work as she ever was with social
duties back in the CAV DAYS before
the war. The strikingly handsome
young baroness takes the serious
business of trying to help win the
war with almost as much ease as
she took the more pleasant duty of
attending dinners and dances and
gala afternoon receptions back in
peacetimes.
Two days week she serves at
Emergency Hospital as Red Gross
nurses aid She has regularly
helped Countess van der Straten-
Ponthoz, wife of the Belgian AM
bassador, with her packages for Bel
| gian prisoners of war, ana mere re-
Gently she was chosen to represent
Belgium as member of the United
Nations War Relief team working
for the Community War Fund.-
campaign, which will begin its drive
to raise S4850,000 October 16.
+ Baroness de Gruben's soliciting for
the Community War Fund will be
limited strictly to Belgians, js;t as
the other diplomatic ladies wiz each
confine her collections to members
of her own country.
Back in December of last year
Baroness de Gruben was chairman
of the Belgian group participating
in the United Nations War Relief
bazaar at the Statler Hotel. She
did a splendid job of it, too, just as
che did in the translating of foreign
publications on war and the arts of
camouf1age and air-raid protection
at the Library of Congress under the
auspices of the OCD.
She speaks fuently five languages,
English, French, German, Hungarian
and Italian. She was educated in a
French convent and with her Dip
lomatic husband has lived pretty
much all over the world. Before
coming to Washington Baron de
Gruben was chief of cabinet to
Prime Minister of Belgium Van
iceland. The De Grubens have
been ..en poste in Washington since
1885, 1t is their second home and
both adore it.

Cuba's President-elect, DR.. Ramon
Grau San Martin, has received q
warm welcome during his stay here
and his program has included a
round Of impressive and interesting
social events. Last evening a bril-
liant reception preceded by a formal

Washington today for New York,
where he will remain a few days
before departing for his native land.
The Ambassador and Sonora de
Concheso with the President ELECT

drawing room which occupies the
front of the imposing Embassy build
ing on upper Sixteenth street. The
Embassy was built before 1920 under
the guidance of the late DR.. Carlos
Manuel de Cepesdes who was min
lister here from July, 1914, to Decem-
Der, 1923. The plan of the building
followed the design of the home in
Rome of Sonora de Cespedes who
was a native Italian, Signorina
Laura Alesandri. The Minister and
his wife lived at 1929 Eighteenth

being built. The imposing entrance

carpet, but last evening was cooling

tah vases of bright-colored gladiol-

and in the reception rooms on the
floor above. Here and there low bowls
of roses were on tables and prepara-
tions were made for supper in the
garden. The garden is a compara-
lively modern acquisition to the
Embassy for the ground 20 years
ago was just deep terrace covered
with rich green grass. Now it is
used throughout the spring. sum-
mer and autumn, whenever the
weather permits and has been made
into delightful garden.
The dinner guests are of particu-
lar interest, including the dean of
the diplomatic corps, the Turkish
Ambassador and Nine. Ertegun, as
the only diplomats except those
from the Cuban Embassy. The
