was Minister to Iran, and tn.
Iranians viii never forget them
The members of the Embassy herr
say that the name of Dreyfus j:
like a light from heaven for the
poor people of their country. The
wonderful things this couple did fol-
the Iranians created real affection
for America. Mrs. Dreyfus, looked
upon as an angel, constantly took
food and medical supplies to the
slum areas where no one but docs
tors ventured. Warned not to do
this because of the danger of con-
tracing a disease, she answered
that she had no children to infect
and she had to help even if it
meant getting sick. There's a
Grace Dreyfus charitable founda-
ton now in Teheran. Here are two
diplomats who point the way to
the only path of world peace.
Ambassador Dreyfus, by the way,
a native of Santa Barbara, is a
career man. This fact brought to
mind the question-how many
United States ENJOYS are career
men and how many political ap-
pointees? It seems that well over
so per cent of the IS Qrdia will
make 66) chiefs of mission are
trained diplomats.
Capital cave dwellers are about
to boast bulging biceps from bowl
ing. If exercise is strengthening,
that is, This business of knocking
down the pins as fast as they're
set up is becoming very exclusive
Out at the Chevy Chase Club four
nights a week and certain after
Moons, Washington socialites meet,
but not in the ballroom-in the
alleys. There are four of them.
The whole thing couldn't be done
in a pleasanter manner. Not only
is a cooling beverage available at
the clap of the hands, but no club
member, outside of the particular
group that has taken over for the
evening, can barge in and bowl.
After two hours of exercise there's
an occasional adjournment to some
ones home for nightcap, but more
often there's made dash home for
q good nights sleep.
On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednes-
days or Fridays, you are apt to find
some of the following in vigorous
pursuit of greater skill: The William
Flathers, the Bob Steads, Adelaide
and Carroll Morgan, the Gregory
Princes, Ginger and Landra Platt,
the Donald De Veaus, the Dick john
sons, Madge and John Lewis Smith,
the James B. Platt, jr.'s, and the
young Bill Fathers. On Tuesday
afternoons women who spend the
summer months on the tennis
courts or links, take over. They in
clude Mrs. Hugh Nicolson, Jane
White, Mrs. John Kenney, Kitty
Walker and Pat Eaton. And SO on
until spring when the outdoors
beckons.
A shot In the arm for women, who
have to outshine nearly all men
mentally in order to be recognized
at all, is the news CT a brand-new
appointment. The Cultural Attache
of the Chilean Embassy, Sonora
Carmen Vial de Senoret, has just
6een notified by the President Of
Chile that she has been appointed
Minister to the Netherlands, the
first woman in Chilean history to
have nipotentiary powers.
Sonora de Senoret is only 38, att
tractive and the widow of the for
mer Chilean Ambassador to Great
Britain. She first came here in
1912, then went to Boston where
she was Consul until 1945. While
up there she acquired an A. B..
degree in economies from Radcliffe,
no easy feat with a full-time job.1
She has son, aged 16, who will
finish at Milton Academy before
joining her in Holland The only
other women IN the Chilean dipio-l
