Mime. Popovic was hostess at
tea yesterday afternoon and will
entertain again this afternoon
from 4 to 6 o'clock when her
guests were and will be wives of
members Of Congress. The en-
bassy is not large enough to en-
tertain them all at one party so
it was necessary to have the two
feteS.
The hostess received alone yes
terday as she will this afternoon
and the wives of members of the
embassy staff assisted her. Tea
and hot chocolate with dainty
sandwiches and cakes were served
from the attractively appointed
table in the dining room.
During the afternoon a brief
motion picture in technicolor was
shown and will be repeated today

on the Dalmatian Coast. Also in
the drawing room there was an
exhibit Of Yugoslav handicraft
and art which will be on view
again this afternoon.
