The Minister of Panama's For
eign Affairs, DR.. Carlos N. Brin,
greeted many old friends yester-
day when he received with his
hosts, the Panama Ambassador
and Sonora de Herbruger. The
Foreign Minister served in Wash
ington for nearly two years as
ambassador and with his attrac-
tive wife made a wide circle of
personal friends as we'll as added
to those of their Isthmus Republic.
1t was a disappointment that she
did not accompany him at this
time.
The Ambassador and Sonora de
Herbruger invited several hundred
guests from the many circles of
Capital society from to 8 O'Clock
yesterday. 1t was an ideal day for
a party at the Panama Embassy
with its terrace and lawn success
fully screened by tall, age-old
trees. The hosts and their honor
guest greeted callers in the draw
ing room, Sonora de Herbruger
wearing a graceful gown of beige
satin, with matching tulle scarf.
Flowers were everything about the
rooms, mostly in autumn colorS
blending with the leaves on the
trees outside. The lavish buffet
was set up in the dining room
while in the library there was a
bar and another on the terrace.
The popular spot was the terrace.
Foreign Minister Brin is a grad
uate of the Medical School at
George Washington University
and among the guests yesterday
were the president of the univer-
sity and Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin.
They were among the later ar
rivals as DR.. Marvin returned only
a few hours before from Chicago
and Mrs. Marvin has been home
a few days from trip to the West
Coast on business as president of
the League of American Pen
Women.
Friends of the honor guests in
the medical profession in WASH

Charles Stanley White, DR.. and
Mrs. Charles McEnerney and DR..
and Mrs. Tomas Cajigas.
