BY Hope Ridings Miller

By Hope Rtdfn9S Miller
Genial, level-headed DR.. Winfred
Overholzer, superintendent of st.
Elizabeth's Hospital, loses his poise
in one situation. That is when some
stranger adds an extra Il" to his
first name, and makes it-Winifred
the feminine form. In other words
he's fed to the teeth with being
greeted in writing as Miss" or
Mrs" Recently, a correspondent
from California capped the climax
by addressing him, MY dear Mother
Superior"
Telling friends about it, DR.. Over
holzer observed, II know my first
name sounds rather feminine, but
I deny there's anything monastic
about it,"
Speaking of DR.. Overholzer, one
of his recent guests in Washington
was DR.. Fernand Collins, noted Bel
gian lawyer-professor-banker, who
visited him 10 years ago. Then, DR.
Overholzer was chief physician fol
a New England prison and DR.
Collins was studying the American
penal system in connection with his
legal training. Now, the Belgian is
professor of law at the University
Of Louvain, and is president of the
leading bank in Brussels where he
also conducts law practice.
An engaging man with a fund of
information on internationally in
teresting subjects, DR.. Collins was
center of attention at small dinner
given at the Shoreham the other
evening by CODY Fowler, Tampa
(Fla) lawyer. With justifiable pride
he mentioned in the course of con-
versation that his country was the
only one that had given the United
States more than value received or
lease-lend shipments.

There also will be a luncheon or a
dinner given by the Secretary of
State, Mr.. James F. Byrnes, now in
London and expected back before

The Ambassador and Sonora de
Mora and their daughters, the
Senoritas Mora, have been motor
ing in New England and Canada
and were in New York for several
days the first of the week. They are
returning to Washington this after
noon.
The Mexican Ambassador, Dr.
Francisco Castillo Najera came back
to Washington yesterday after a
brief visit in Mexico City and
brought with him the official news
that he will be the next Minister of
Foreign Affairs for his country. 1t
long has been rumored but there
was no official verif1cation until the
Ambassadors return. DR.. Castillo
Najera will leave Washington the
middle of next week, going first to
Los Angeles where he will attend
the very elaborate festivities being
planned for September Is and 16
by Mexican residents of that vi
cinity. The festivities will mark
the 135th anniversary of Mexican
independence and following the
events there the retiring Ambas-
sador will 90 on to Mexico City.
Sonora de Castillo Najera and her
children and grandchildren will
leave Washington the latter part of
next week to return to Mexico.
The Brazilian Ambassador, Senior
Carlos Martins, who was expected
to be back in Washington early this
month, will succeed DR.. Castillo Ma
jera as dean of the corps, having
served at this post longer than the
other ambassadors. The Ambas-
sador and Senhora de Martins and
their daughters are expected back
in Washington September 16.
The anniversary of Brazilian inde-
pendence is being celebrated today
and Brazilian residents of the Dis
trict, with members of the Embassy
staff, will be guests at a celebration
this afternoon. Senhora de Lobo,
wife of the Minister Counselor of the
Embassy, will be hostess. She will
entertain in her apartment on Wis
conSin avenue. The Minister Coun-
selor, who has been Charge DAT
faires since the Ambassador, Sem
nor Carlos Martins, went home last
month, also has returned to Rio de
Janeiro. Senior Lobo went home to
attend a conference of Pan-Ameri-
can ENJOYS being held there and
probably will not be back in the
Capital until the end of the month.
Until the arrival of the Ambassador
the First Secretary, Senior A. Bouli-
treau Fragoso, will be in charge of
the Embassy.
The Ambassador and Senhora de
Martins and their daughters were
expected to return last week, but have
postponed their arrival until the
