Child Center

Villa Rosa, the charming home

held its final open house last Sun
day, and now the museum, which
has been the center of education
and culture for all children seeking
the advantages of sound founda-

Since taking over Villa Rosa a

giving instructions as well as pleas
ure to about a thousand children a
year, the classes being free of charge
and covering everything from the
fine arts to farming.
These children who have received
so much from the museum have
conceived the idea of seeking funds
to purchase home in which the
work that has been so helpful to
them can be continued for them
selves and children of the future.
In response to the plea of the
children a Committee of One Hun

Children's Museum of Washington
has been named.

-
A mammoth reception of prewar
proportions was given at the French
Embassy yesterday afternoon and
early evening by Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, President Of the provisional
government of the French Republic.
The reception was the climax of
the festivities given during the visit
of the distinguished French official,
who will leave this morning for
New York on the first lap of his
tour of cities in this country.
The reception was reminiscent OF
such parties before the war, the
guests numbering 1000 or 1900 The
hours for the reception were to 7
o'clock and by the stroke of S at
least half hundred guests had been
received. BY $50 o'clock there were
two double lines of guests yet to be
received, the lines extending in both
directions from the door of the En-
bassy to the gates of the driveway
on Kalorama road.
The guests included, members Of
the cabinet, the Senate and the
House as we'll as heads of other
Federal agencies, high ranking Off
GERS OF the armed forces, the heads
of diplomatic missions and leaders
In the several groups which were
established for the aid of French
people after the invasion of their
homeland.
The occasion was one of real Joy
in the realization that friendship
Of France and the United States
had held through the very trying
years of the invasion and the liberia
ton. Also that again French off,
cials are established in the En-
bassy here.
Particularly happy over the fact
that France again belongs to the
French people and talking about re-
turning shortly to their homes in
that country were Mrs. Paul H.
Bartlett and Mrs. Robert H. Dun

lives in France and each has been
fortunate in that her place has saf-
fered little destruction. One has
lost her wine cellar and the other
all her linens with the exception of
one bath towel, one bath mat and
one face towel There were scores
of others equally happy over the re-
turn of France to her own people
and over the entertainment here
of the chief executive. who is work
ing hard to bring order out of chaos.
Tall, erect with more smiles than
year ago, Gen. de Gaulle greeted
his guests yesterday wearing the
khaki uniform of the French
Army of which he is so proud.
Others in the line were in conven-
tional afternoon attire for civilians,
Nine. Bonnet adding the only color
in her bright and very becoming
gown of yellow. The dress was
street length and had v neck
line which was outlined in leaves
embroidered in gold, the design dec
Grating the shoulders and down the
tops of the short sleeves.
The line was formed in front
of the French windows in the
small library overlooking the lawn
which Is edged with tall trees.
Standing beside the host was his
Minister of Foreign Affairs. M.
Georges Bidault, with the Ambas-
sador, M. Henri Bonnet, Nine. Bon

line from time to time through the
