important member of the family
was young Francisco Illescas,
8-year-old son of the hosts, who
enjoyed the party as much as any
of the guests.
Clad in a gray Eton-style suit,
he whisked from one room to an
other, stopping now and then to
sample a small cake or sandwich
from the buffet table. He was as
intrigued as any one with the
scooped-out loaves of bread, which
were filled with sandwiches and
decorated with red, blue and yellow
striped ribbon, representing the
Ecuadorean national colors. 1t was
difficult to pin the youngster down
to conversation, but one learned
that he attends the White Hall
Country School and likes drawing
better than anything else.
