stream. The latter snake is relative
of the rattle snake.

Prospective changes in ambassa-
dorial posts in the Capital are a
source of never-failing interest
here. Argentine Ambassador Jero-
nimo Remorino, who has been the
subject of much speculation in re-
cent months, stopped in Washing
ton last week en- route to Switzer-
land long enough to cause more
speculation. He himself limited
that he may succeed Jose Arce as
Argentine Ambassador to the
United Nations. Arce has already
resigned Since the U. N. post is a
full time job, it doesn't seem likely
that Ambassador Remorino will
remain in Washington where he
has held two jobs, Ambassador to
the United States and Ambassador
to the o. A. s. Judging from his
own remarks and a rumor or two,
he may resign from the two here
and go to New York.

send wedding gift in answer to
a wedding invitation? I've always
thought it was a must but I'ni
beginning to think differently oS
certain people would hardly send
invitations so freely. For ex1
ample, I've just received an in1
vitation to the wedding of a son
of a childhood friend. I saw tho

haven't seen his mother for years
and the bride is a complete
stranger. Also, the invitation
comes from a distant town; we
couldn't possibly be expected to
go. Would your ANSWER be the
same if a reception card we're
enclosed?"
Sending present is question
determined by individual feeling.
But you naturally send one more
often when invited to the recep-
ton than you do when invited
to the church only. ]

it be proper for me to go? Would

would be best to talk with her over
