Mrs. Davidson joined the League
of Women Voters In Portland and
served as economics chairman for
two years. During that time the
league took leading part in break
ing strike called by the milk in
dustry against the prevailing price
ceilings. She also was member of
the Urban League and frequently
spoke over the radio in its behalf.
She has resumed her work with
the League of Women Voters since
she came to Washington. She be-
longs to the committees on eco
nomics and minorities and is league
representative in thexC Committee on
Consumer Protection which cur
rently is seeking to hold down meat
prices in Washington.
Not all Of her spare time goes
into outside activities. The David
sons recently purchased a house in
Georgetown and are redecorating 1t
themselves. THEY have painted the
downstairs hall. the second floor
living room and now are halfway
UP the stairway to the fourth floor.
They also are putting In fiagstones
in the small garden back Of the
house. Mrs. Davidson says it's lots
Of fun.
She likes to sew, too. She started
making her own clothes when she
was 2 and kept II up until her
children came along! Now she'd
rather sew for them. Suits and
coats are her speciality.
How does she find time for so
many activities2 Mrs. Davidson
says she would never be able to
manage without the assistance Of
the attractive Indian student, Anne
Bowechop, who makes her home
with them. Anne is taking Sec
retarial course with q view to going
into the Indian service of the IN
terror Department and the David
sons are much interested in fur
thering her plans.
Living in Washington has given
Mrs. Davidson an opportunity to see
something Of her grandfather, Mr..
Henri Gueydan, who has just re-
tired as Spanish instructor In the
orientation and instruction branch
Of the War Department. Mr.. Guey-
dan Is cosmopolitan figure. A
native Of France, he has spent most
of his life in Guatemala, where Mrs.
Davidson's mother was born, and in
Louisiana.
He was living in New Orleans
when World War II broke out, and
he was determined to have a war
job. So he came to Washington
and started teaching Spanish to
Army officers.
The other day Mrs. Davidson was
IN the group that went over to the
Pentagon to see him awarded
medal and citation for meritorious
civilian service during the war

Selma Iaavdat
Becomes Bride
Of AHache
Iraq Legation
Party Honors
Young Couple
By Katherine NJ. Brooks

The wedding reception last eve
ming for Miss Selma Jawdat and
Mr.. Adnan Pachachi was q min
Cling of the customs of the west
and the middle east. The bride IS
the daughter Of the Iraq Minister
and Mrs. Ali Jawdat and the bride-
groom is an Attache of the Iraq
Legation. Their betrothal took place
last July, when the Minister and
Nine. Jawdat were hosts at small
reception at the Legation following
the customary formal ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Muzahim Pachachi
of Bagdad, parents of the BRIDE
groom, were unable to make the long
trip here for the wedding reception
last evening. III
The betrothal ceremony in Iraq
is as binding as the marriage cere-
mony in this country, but the couple
is not recognized as Mr.. and Mrs.
in their community until after the
festivities, such as last evening,
which mark their marriage.
The Minister and Mrs. Jawdat
received their two hundred or more
guests last evening and had receiy-
ing with them their daughter and
her bridegroom. The bride wore an
unusual costume of exquisite off,
white China silk. The material is
very fine and transparent and has
q delicate satin thread woven in
dainty figures. The bodice lis long
and nodded to her figure with low
round neck line and very short
sleeves. A tiara of the material
with small clusters of orange bios
SONS at each side held her veil,
which also is of the material. The
veil was caught in across the back
at the low waistline of the gown,
and when it is not worn as a veil
1t will fall into a very short train at
the back. The dress has no trim
ming, the beauty of the material
and its delicate figure being sufi-
cient. About her neck she wore q
double string of pearls.
White FIo,cers Used
The Legation had no additional
decoration except the white bios
SONS in the tall and the low vases
about the rooms and in the center
of the buffet table in the dining
room. There was the white iced
cake, traditional in this country,
which the bride cut, but there also
were many delectable dishes of the
middle eastern countries. The rice
came in for much attention from
the guests. 1t was sent from Iraq,
having been grown in the southern
portion of that country. It is of q
particularly delicate texture and
has delicious aromatic odor and
taste. Usually the rice is cooked
with tomatoes or fruits but yester-
day 1t was served alone and the
other UNUSUAL refreshments en-
hanced its deliciousness. !
Toasts were drunk to the future
of the bride and bridegroom and
their health and happiness. Guests
included the heads Of diplomatic
missions from the middle eastern
countries, and officials of the State
Department. In addition Iraq Con-
suls in principal cities of the east
and middle east were invited with
q number of friends of the bride
and bridegroom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pachachi will have
fortnight's wedding trip and after
December ! they will be at home
at 2901 Eighteenth street. where
they have taken an apartment.

LoAdons Host,
At Reception
In Embassy
Foreign Guest
Well Known
In This City

There were few invited to the
Netherlands Embassy yesterday who
failed to accept the invitation of the
Ambassador and Mrs. Alex Loudon
Parties at the Embassy always are
delightful and the guest of honor
yesterday is an old favorite in Wash
ington. The cards were issued te
meet the Netherlands Minister o,
Foreign Affairs. Baron van Boetze-
laer, who came for the fete from
New York where he is attending the
United Nations.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Loudor
also returned from those meetings
reaching Washington yesterday
morning to complete arrangement
for the reception. Baron Won Boet-
zelaer has been here since the
middle of the week and is expected
to go back to New York today. He
plans to sail the latter part of the
month to join Baroness van Boetze-
laer in The Hague.
Standing in the charming drawing
room the Ambassador and Mrs. Loud
on greeted their nearly three hum
dred guests. Baron van Boetzelaei
received a warm welcome yesterday
from members of the cabinet, the
Supreme Court, and the Foreign
Relations and Foreign Affairs Com
mittees of the Congress.
Also invited yesterday were chiefs
OF diplomatic missions as well as
heads Of the joint staffs and Far
Eastern Commissions. In addition
the company included number of
the good friends of the baron and
his very attractive baroness in resi-
dent circles.
Baroness Won Boetzelaer, like Mrs.
Loudon, is a native of the United
States and the baroness has the
distinction of being the only Amer
ican to be selected as a lady in
waiting to a reigning queen. Her
Majesty Wilhelmina, Queen Of the
Netherlands chose her when she
came to this country after the In
vaSion of her homeland.
