kept secret for some time.
The Prime Minister of New Zea-
land, Mr.. Peter Fraser, may be the
first to get here, although he un-
doubtedly will not come until the
Minister, Mr.. Walter Nash, gets back
from London. The Minister has
been in England for some time, and
when he left he only planned to be
away three or four weeks, but no
word Of his plans to reach the Cap
ital has been given. The Minister
and Mrs. Nash were detained in
New Zealand for two months or
more last year when they were
home on vacation because of the
illness of Mr.. Fraser and the trip
here will add to his complete re-
cuperation.
The Minister and Mrs. Nash,
being popular with the many circles
of Washington society, probably will
give a large. afternoon reception in
their attractive Legation for Mr..
Fraser. Their guests probably will
include ladies, the receptions at en-
bassies and legations for these dis
tinguished foreigners usually be-
ing the only entertainment not
exclusively for men on their So
cial schedules. The co-ordinator of
Inter- american Affairs and Mrs.
Nelson A. Rockefeller also have in
cluded the ladies when they have
given lunch parties for the visitors
from our southern neighbor repub-
lies.
The Prime Minister ef the other
commonwealth who is coming is
Mr.. John Curtin of Australia, who
also is expected this month, but
when still is not told. He, too, will
be honor guest at reception in
his Legation which the Minister and
Lady Dixon will give. They are
equally popular in Washington as
the Nashes, their Legation like that
of New Zealand being a very popu-
lar spot.
The Secretary of State, Mr.. Cor
dell Hull, will entertain each visitor
and will follow his custom of giving
dinner party for gentlemen, only
at the Carlton. There probably will
be other parties for these distin-
guished visitors, but their schedule
awaits their arrival

Mrs. Frederick Brooke. A gra-
cious lady, bright eyed, dynamic
and charming, Mrs. Brooke
knows Washington like a book.
AS Texas" Bates she made her
debut in the Nations Capital just
as her own mother, Carolyn
Morgan McCorkle, did before her
and the tradition of the popu-
larity of those two lovely ladies
was continued when Mrs.
Brooke's daughter, Frances Nc
Kee Stone, likewise made her
debut here :.
Both Mrs. Brooke and her
mother, the late Mrs. Bates, were
presented to Queen Victoria
both were frequent visitors at the
White House through more than
one administration =.
Equally at home in Girl Scout
work, on the board of a hospital
or on any of the numerous Dis
trict committees which she has
served many times, as she is in
the drawing rooms of official and
residential Washington, Mrs.
Brooke's friends are countless.
Because of her continued inter-
est in Scout work over the last
thirty years Mrs. Brooke was
asked to help in the organization
of the American Youth Hostel
headquarters here when the
movement was first brought, over
from England and the National
Girl Scout organization became
sponsor. She represents China
in the United Nations War Re-
lief, Inc, which recently opened
new headquarters in the old
home of the late Justice Holmes
here, and is a member of the
Board of Directors of the Chill

its most enthusiastic workers. She
is a member of the Georgetown
branch Of OCD, chairman of the
Awards Committee of the Civil

Of the Victory Garden Commit
tee, which is one of her first
loves, since she was very active
in war gardens in the last war.

Mrs. Gaftney Sets
Pace in District
Seal Campaign
By Catherine Hamblev

With the Easter seal sale CAM
paign for the benefit of the District
Society for Crippled Children going
full tilt, attention is focused on the
guiding light of the society, the
executive secretary, Mrs. Jewel
Gaffney, who personally has mailed
the 100000 envelopes of seals from
which 1t is hoped to raise $4,000 to
carry out a project of a Community
Curative Workshop. The fund will
aid in rehabilitating service vet
Grams ineligible for the Government
program, and all who need ortho-
pedic and physiatherapy care.
Interviewed recently at the
society's headquarters, 1722 New
Hampshire avenue NV, she ex-
planned that the District needs q
place where veterans and both rich
and poor civilians can, go for treat
ment of this kind.
The speaker, who Is a graduate
nurse, described the success of the
cerebral palsy clinic which was
financed by last years drive and is
held once a month, with DR.. Win
throp Phelps, authority on \ the
malady, as consultant. She told of
hopes for nursery school and a
badly needed children's convalescent
home for youngsters from homes
where improvement would be out of
the question.
She's excited about this work in
spite of her calm, New England
exterior which bellies the fact that
Mrs. Gaffney finds life very anus
ing and interesting. During the last
war, while she was doing Red Cross
nursing in Washington she became
more than ever stimulated" by
nursing influenza patients in the
epidemic. Her father had opposed
her desire to study nursing but, de-
Gliding "you must do what you want
to be happy, and happiness is the
yardstick Of success" she became a
health educator with the Boston
tuberculosis Association in spite OF
her fathers opposition. There she
was responsible for bringing down
the mortality rate among Negroes In
the tenement districts of Boston.
Instead Of taking "a soap box
attitude towards the Negroes, Mrs
Ganney chose to 60 out and clear
up alleys and yards with them
