dence. The place is situated on a
high elevation, surrounded by slop-
ing lawns and many trees with a
little stream running through the
grounds. No hum of traffic can be
heard and this makes it difficult to
realize that only a comparatively
short distance away is the heart of
Washington. Age-old lockwood rise
majestically on each side of the
house. The setting truly is enchant-
ing and ones fancy turns to how de-
lightful it must be in summer
time.
There were several guests yester-
day who remembered the history of
the place-recalled that it was a
fortress back in Civil War days.

mantle and tables about the room.
The Embassy needs no lavish floral
display to enhance its beauty. 1t is
charming just as it is and yester-

blossoms around. There were a

Peruuiaus Gracious Hosts
1t Reception Yesterday
By Margaref Hart
Society Editor.

"This is such a friendly party"
remarked one of the guests at the
Peruvian Embassy yesterday. And
this really expressed the opinion Of
every one at the reception given by
the Charge d'Affaires Of Peru and
Sonora de Fernandez-Davila.
The function was planned in honor
of the Peruvian Senator Alberto
Ulloa, but illness prevented him from
coming to the Capital from New
York for the event.
Even from the minute you entered
the great stone-columned entrance
OF the residence of 3001 Garrison
street one felt the warm hospitality
that glowed inside the lovely house.
Parking was so easy-helpful at
tendants saw to that. When the
door opened guests we're greeted
with a smile and members of the
Embassy staff and their wives were
graciously seeing that all present
were having an enjoyable time.

chased the property on Garrison
street about two years ago from

Widow of Italian
Composer Visitor
By Libby Manure

Washington is famed for its large
receptions and dinners, but some
of its most interesting parties are
the smaller and more intimate ones,
such as the Italian Ambassador and
Signora Tarchiani gave yesterday
at the Embassy in honor OF Signora
Ottornino Respighi, widow of the
famous italian composer. Earlier
In the day Signora Respighi had
presented the original manuscript
OF her husbands "Fontane de Roma"
to the Library of Congress, and she
had with her a photostatic copy Of
the manuscript.
The Ambassador and Signora
Tarchiani received in the library,
and on hand to help greet the
guests were their twin daughters,
Miss Letizia Tarchiani and Miss
Dora Tarchiani. Two famous pa
irons of music, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge and Mrs. Matthew
John Whittall, were there, and also
Col. and Mrs. James Pomeroy Hen
drick, Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Cox and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter c. Bowling.
Guests gathered in the large
drawing room to hear Mr.. Elio
Gianturco play Respighi's "Fontane
di Roma" along with several other
lovely compositions by the same
artist. The room, which was dis
tinctly Italian, made a beautiful
setting for the music. Signora Tar
chiani explained the huge emblem
over the fireplace as something
which she thought was most likely
taken from the prov of some ship
at the time of the Doges in Venice.
There was a lovely firescreen of
Italian ferro battuto, and lamp
shades made from old parchment
marked with cantofermo.
The most interesting object in the
room was the one and only orig
inal portrait of Christopher Column
bus, painted by Ghirlandaio.
Pretty Countess Pignatti was
there in beautiful hand-painted
silk print, and Signora de Stefano.
