Varied Parties
Mexican Fete
Brilliant Affair
By Margaret Hart,
Society Editor,

1t is very unusual in Washington
to find many men attending after
noon social functions. 1t also is
unusual during wartime to find a
festivity so lavish and so delight
fully informal with so many digni-
taries present. But this was the
case at the brilliant reception given
yesterday by Senor Rodolfo M. Fer
nandez. For all of the $50 guests
were men-no ladies were invited
and seldom even during peacetime
has a party been recorded as being
so elaborate in every detail.
Senor Fernandez is the Wash
ington representative of the Petro-
leos Mexicanos (government-own
petroleum companies of Mexico). In
planning his entertainment he gave
every thought to treating his guests
to few hours" in his native land.
The atmosphere in the east room of
the Mayf1ower Hotel, where the fete
was staged, was typically Mexican
Flags of Mexico were prominent

the elaborate buffet picked up the
colorS of the national emblem of our
neighboring republic. Tasty and in
triguing Mexican dishes were served
along with native beverages. Dancers
in colorful Mexican costumes per-
formed to the syncopated rhythm
of the romantic country Later
Mexican songs resounded ins the
room and the fascinating strumming
of many guitars could be heard as.
the strolling musicians in bright
serapes and gold and silver spangled
somberos made their appearances.
A novel feature of the occasion
was the handsome gifts received by
about so very pleased gentlemen.
Upon arriving at the party each
guest was presented with num-
ber and at the close of the event
the lucky numbers were announced.
The tokens included beautiful
leather articles and objects of beaten
silver studded with precious stones.
Included among the gifts were many
other articles for which picturesque
Mexico is noted. Senor Fernandez
had these presents sent from his
homeland and the lucky gentlemen
who left the affair with one of these
articles carried with them some of
Mexico's best hapdicraft.
There was no formal reception
line, but assisting in welcoming the
company were Senor Rafael Ortiz
Mena and Senor Roberto Martinez
Faires, Cleveland and New York
representatives, respectively, of Pc
troleos Mexicanos. Senor Fernandez
is Petroleum Attache of the Mexican
Embassy, and his colleagues there
were at the fete. In the absence of
the Ambassador, Senor DR.. Don
Francisco Castillo Najera, who is in
England, the Minister Counselor,
Senor Don Rafael de la Colina,
Acting Charge d'Affaires, also as
sisted the host. The guests in

Administration for War, the War

Diplomatic Changes !.
Several Deans
In Fe1U Months
By Katharine M. Brooks

The dean of the diplomatic corps,
a post that is acquired by length Of
service at this Capital, has changed
rapidly since the spring. The sudden :
death of two Ambassadors, Senior
Don Manuel de Freyre y Santander
from Peru in May and M. Mehmet
Munir Ertegun from Turkey early
last month, brought the popular
Belgian Ambassador, Count Robert
van der Straten-Ponthoz, to head
the list. The dean again will change
when the Count retires next month
and DR.. Francisco Castillo Najera,
Ambassador from our nearest south
ern neighbor, Mexico, will be ths
dean. Ambassador Castillo Najera
now is in London and no time is set
for his return. His family, Sonora
de Castillo Najera with their son
and daughter-in-law, their son-in-
law and daughter, and their niece,
Maj. Francisco Castillo Najera D and
Sonora de Castillo Najera and Capt.
Manuel Castro and Sonora de
Castro, and Senorita Ofelia Davila,
returned early this month to their
Mexican homes and will remain
there until after the holidays. The
I last Mexican Ambassador to reach
the post of dean was DR.. Manuel G.
Teller, who was dean in 1881.
The changes that have come
among the ambassadors in WASH
ington have been very many in the
past few months and by the first Of
the year there will be at least six
newcomers in that group. OF these
two have arrived here but as yet
have not been received by the Presi-
dent, Senior Victor Andrade from
Bolivia and Senor Eugenio Silva
Pena from Guatemala.
Senor Andrade has been here only
short time and will be joined this
week by Sonora de Andrade and
their children, Ana. Maria, Lupita
and Mario. The newly appointed
Ambassador from Guatemala, Senior
Silva-Pena, has come from his
homeland to succeed DR.. Adrian
Recinos, who now is a candidate for
President Of their country. The
elections will take place today.
Senor Silva-Pena was a delegate to
the boundary commission in WASH
ington In 1881, so that he Is no
stranger in the Capital. He was
secretary of the Guatemala legation
lin Paris in 1928 and for the past
IA years has been a practicing at
torney in Guatemala City,
The retiring El Salvador Ambas-
sador, DR.. Don Hector David Castro
hopes to join his family in their
Central American home in time for
Christmas. Sonora de Castro with
her two daughters, Senorita Elena
Alicia Castro and Senorita Maria
Teresa Castro, will leave tomorrow
for their homeward journey. Senor
and Sonora de Castro have been in
washington since August, 1884, when
he came as Minister from his gov
Iernment, his promotion to Ambas-
sador coming when all the remaining
Legations of Latin American repub-
lies were raised to embassies.
Sonora de Copello, widow Of the
Dominican Ambassador, with their
daughters, the Senoritas Copello,
expect to be home in time for
Christmas, which in Latin American
countries is more of religious fes-
tival than the season is In this
country.

A committee, headed by Anthony
Roondos, plans to start immediate

Greek War Relief according to
an announcement made yesterday.
Anyone having discarded cloth

ond and Orange streets.
The committee in charge Of the
clothing collection is comprised Of
Mrs. Roondos, Pete Conpos, Pete
BALLADS, Pete Potalas, and Anthony
Saffo.
The committee points out that
clothing has reached Greece. Com
plete clothing outfits and shoes for

ties, had been partially or complete
ly destroyed and more than 100000
persons-one tenth the population
of Greece. - had been rendered
homeless and utterly destitute.
During the past IL months ap'
proximately five million garments
have been shipped to the New York

Distribution Of the clothing stocks
is supervised by a joint commits
