The reception that followed
their wedding more than Is years
ago probably was much the same
as the party that Maj. Gen.
and Mrs. John A. Chapman Che is
chief Of the Australian Military
Mission gave yesterday to celebrate
their anniversary. The party was
gay, as theirs always are, and many
new faces appeared among the host
of familiar ones that invariably are
seen at their entertainments.
Mrs. Chapman said, We've al
ready had our silver anniversary, SO
it's not important to count any
more" In any event. the party was
one OF their best and did justice to
the occasion.
To turn back the pages of time a
little, there was a similarity of cir
cumstances surrounding the Chap
mans wedding 20-odd years ago
and those OF our American girls and
GIs today.
At the beginning of World War I,
the young girl who was born in
Patagonia was living in Brussels. A
short while later she moved to Lon
don, where she met the young
Australian officer whom she was to
marry.
The wedding was a large one. held
in st. Mary's Cathedral in Sydney,
and attended by countless friends
of the bridegroom's father, the late
Sir Austin Chapman, former Post
master General of Australia, Min
lister for Trade and Customs and
Minister for Defense. The young
couple lived in Sydney temporarily,
then moved about as the exigencies
of the service dictated.
The Chapmans have three grown
children. Their elder son, Austin,
named for his grandfather, Is serv-
ing his country in Japan; John
Austin, jr., Is freshman at Dunt-
room, Australia's top military acad-
emy, and only daughter Betty lives
with her parents in Washington.
Like her father and mother, she is
enjoying life in the Nations Capital,
