The Mexican Ambassador and
Mrs. Espinosa de los Monteros gave
q brilliant reception early last eve

the Treasury of Mexico and Mrs.
Eduardo Suarez. The 300 or more
guests were asked from to g.
o'clock and the beauty of the hand

SONS. The hosts and their guests
of honor received just inside the
door of the small drawing room at
the head of the stairs, Mrs. Espinosa
and Mrs. Suarez both wearing floor
length frocks and shoulder bou-
quets.
The company was predominantly
from financial circles, including
officials of the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund, as
well as those from the Federal
Treasury Department and the Ex-
port-Import Bank and the Board of
the Federal Reserve Bank.
Chiefs of diplomatic missions in

Arrangements for the party car
ried out the usual plans at these
fetes. A long buffet table was laid
in the center of the dining room
where murals depict life in Mexico.
The customary delicacies to be
found at the cocktail hour were
there and in addition there were
delectable quesidillas, tasty bits
served like our familiar hors d'oeu-
vres. There was also the more
substantial torte moctezuma. Both
dishes have bases of corn meal, the
former being small bits of the dough
filed with various meats and drop
ped in hot deep fat. The torte
moctezumas are like tarts of thin
corn meal dough filled with differ
ent kinds of meat well seasoned with
q dash Of chilli.
E In the aviary the bar was set up
and here refreshing drinks were
served. This proved one of the
very popular spots during the re-
ception.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Espi-
nosa, although they have been here
lesssthan year, have made very
wide circle of friends and their
parties are among the very popular
events on the Capital social sched-
ule. Guests fingered well after 8
o'clock to enjoy the hospitality of
their hosts.
