Mrs. Edward D. M. Hopkins is a
lady who knows Red Cross work in
more than one country. Before
her husband "a group captain In
the RAF was ordered to Washing
ton she served in the Canadian Red
Cross Hospital just outside Lon
don. Her job was a Visitor" or
what is the equivalent of our Red
Cross Gray Ladies. When she ar
rived in this country she didn't
know that her stay would prolong
itself to two and a half years, but
she is young woman who doesn't
believe in wasting any time, so she
volunteered to the Red Cross and
also to the Office of Civilian De-
tense. She took the staff assistance
course of the Red Cross and was
soon put In charge of the library
at one of the local recreational CEN
tiers. The OCD put her to work on
some of their radio programs, tell
ing her experiences in the London
blitz or of some of the work she
did in the Canadian hospital. Her
speaking voice is charming and she
went over with a bang. Now she
has given that up and is just con-
centrating on her library Red Cross
work. She expects to go back to
London shortly and when she does
she hopes to find some volunteer
work that will combine her British
and American Red Cross expert
ences. Two and half days a week
Mrs. Hopkins works at the library
and one day week in the Red
Cross sales shop, where she helps
Mrs. Van Fossan.
She and her husband live in a
small, attractively furnished apart
ment on Cathedral avenue and she
does all the cooking. She has
learned more things to do to a cab
bage, she says! And she can harry
wait to get back to England and
show all her friends. She thinks
American cooking is wonderful and
she is full of new ideas that she
has picked up here. She loves cook
ing with curry, too, and she and her
husband have small supper parties
in their little apartment and Mrs
Hopkins herself cooks every mouth
full.
She sounded so gay and CHEEKY
and completely at home in America
homesick for her native Wales

By Marearef Hart.
Society Editor.

His Britannia Majesty's Ambas-
sador, Viscount Halifax, took time
out yesterday from a busy day at
his desk at the Embassy to be the
godfather of tiny American born
Britisher. Later he attended a re-
ception in celebration of the occa-
sion.
The Ambassadors godson is three
week-old David Alexander Somer-
vile Lockhart, son of the First Sec
rotary of the British Embassy and
Mrs. j. G. Lockhart. Maj. Lockhart
Is private secretary to the Ambas-
sador.
The christening of baby David
took place in the private chapel of
the papal delegate in the Apostolic
LEGATION on Massachusetts, avenue
and his excellency, the Most Rev.
Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, off,
ciated at o'clock.
The little boy was dressed for
the ceremony in the christening
robe worn by his great-grandfather
Mr.. Edmondstoune Cranstoun. The
dress OF sheer muslin and rare old
Ayrshire embroidery was sent from
Scotland for the occasion.
Maj. and Mrs. Lockhart chose an
American to be the godmother for
their son. Mrs. George Scriven, an
old friend of close friends of theirs
and who was one of their first
friends in this country, has this
honor.
Maj. A. j. E. Gordon, M. c. of
the Grenadier Guards, brother of
Mrs. Lockhart, is another godfather
for the child. He was unable TO be
here for the ceremony as he now is
serving in Italy with the British 9th

London publisher, is the other god
father for the baby.
Present at the impressive cere-
monies in the chapel were other
members of the Embassy staff and
number of American friends of
the baby's parents. Later the COM
pany went to the home Of Maj. and
Mrs. Lockhart on Woodley place
for the reception In honor of the
baptism.
The party was marked with IN
formality and in keeping with the
times. Following the age-old Eng
lish custom there was a christening
cake which was cut during the
afternoon.
The retiring Bolivian Ambassa-
dor and Sonora de Guachalla have

ing the mixed pleasure and sadness
of farewell fetes with firing and
laborious work of packing of per-
sonal belongings. They plan to
leave the Capital Saturday en- route
to their homeland, but In the last
few days that remain they are being
constantly entertained. They have
a very wide circle Of friends in
Washington, the Ambassador having
served his country as Minister from
October, 1896, until the legation was
raised to an embassy and he be-
came the first Ambassador in March,
1912
