Washington society is beginnil

Washington society is beginning
to get into the usual swivet Of excite
ment that precedes a visit from the
worlds most famous couple. His
Royal Highness. the Duke Of Wind
sor, and his chic Duchess minus
most of her jewels-will sail from
England on the Queen Elizabeth
this coming Wednesday and some
time after landing in New York will
come down to washington. Accord
ing to current information, they will
be the guests of the British Ambas-
sador, Lord Inverchapel, but just
how long they will be in town Is not
yet known. They are expected,
however, to be here at least four or
five days. There will be some small,
enviable parties given at that time.
The most amusing thing that's
happened in this town for a long
time happened, of course, to Louise
Heiberg, one of the most amusing
people in all washington and near
by Maryland and Virginia. She and
her handsome husband ALT went to
Minneapolis very recently for the
Goth birthday of his mother and the
first reunion in 81 years of all 16 Of
her children, of which ALI is the
youngest. There are eight sons and
eight daughters.
It seems that Louise has always
been crazy for talking parrot, and
while in Minneapolis found one that
Immediately took her fancy. When
he noticed his wife's interest in the
bird, ALI slipped back to the store
later, purchased same and had it

shipped to washington as surprise.
It might be well to mention here
that the storekeeper had no notion
that Mrs. Heiberg was the former
wife Of Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
When the package arrived, Louise
couldn't have been more excited ana
she and her husband opened 1t to-
gether. It was surprise, all right,
and bit Of a shock to hear the first
words the parrot uttered. He said
them very distinctly and unmistak-
ably then, and he is still repeating
Macarthur, Macarthur" They're
too fond of it, she says, to wiring Its
neck. In addition to this constant
display of tact, the 20-year-old bird
also speaks Norwegian with fluency
and mimics Mrs. HIS telephone con-
versations. A "Haw, l1sw, haw, oh,
mol" is apt to come out at any time.
Before they left this past week
for New York and Long Island, the
Andre van Wagenbergs gave q fare
well party that gives one nice
slant on cosmopolitan Washington.
Andre; who was here with the
Dutch Economic Mission, has gone
up to the big city to be vice presi-
dent and director. of the Foreign
Advisory Service Corp. This is a
new idea that has been started to
rroyoote econorr1ic and commercial
relations between America and
Europe. Offices are also being OPP

gomery where her daughter was
reared. When Mrs. Ligon is away,
the place is kept immaculate by her

Katie. Both have been a part Of the
household as long, as Mrs. Foley
can remember.
Mrs. Foley has a beautiful view
of the 4lome in her drawing room
here.
She also has numerous pictures of
the important events In her chill
