Venezuelan
EmbassyFete
Is Brilliant
Envoy and Wife
Hosts to Their
Chief Executive
By Margaret Hart Candy
Society Editor

Official and diplomatic society
flocked to the imposing modernistic
Venezuelan Embassy yesterday to
meet distinguished foreign Presi-
dent and his charming wife. For
a reception at an Embassy for a
high dignitary from afar always is
a very pleasant must on the calendar
of capitalites. They know in ad-
vance that the event will be the
tops in hospitality.
This definitely was true of the re-
ception given by the Venezuelan
Ambassador and Sonora de Car
nevali in honor of their President
and Sonora de Gallegos.
One of the most brilliant func-
tions seen in Washington for some
time, the event sparkled with gay
ETY.. AS guests mingled, engaging in
animated conversation or partaking
of the delicious refreshments, there
could be no doubt that all present
were having a happy time.
Flag Over Embassy
The red, yellow and blue flag of
the South American republic tlut-
tered over the entrance of the En-
bassy on Massachusetts, avenue. In
doors a profusion of summer bios
SONS matched the colors OF the
Venezuelan national emblem.
Flowers rose from graceful silver
vases on the buffets, one in the din
ing room, the others in small ad-
Joining salons. The food was lavish.
Champagne corks popped through
out the party as guests drank to the
health of the visiting President, to
the hosts, to the continued pros
perity of Venezuela, and then to
everything in general.
Arrangements were made for the
guests to enjoy the beautiful gar
dens of the Embassy. The roses
there now are at their loveliest and
the bright little petunias bordering
the velvety lawn and the playing
fountains all help to make it a very
charming place to be.
The President and Sonora de
Gallegos stood with their hosts in
the drawing room on the left of the
foyer to receive.
Over 1000 Guests
The guests! Twelve hundred
goid-crested invitations were sent
out for this momentouS occasion.
Judging from the huge throng,
there seemed to be few who did
not present the card of admission
at the great door of the Embassy.
All the heads of foreign missions
were invited, members of the cab
met of this country. State Depart
ment officials, as well as top-ranking
Army and Navy officers. The wives
of the diplomats and officials, of
course, were included, and there was
a large representation of resident
society present.
Many of those attending the gala
reception earlier had been present
at the opening of an exhibition OF
paintings by the Venezuelan artist,
Hector Poleo, at the Library of
Congress.
President Gallegos officially opened
the display of the interesting works
by his countryman.
