The Spanish Ambassador and
Sonora de Lequerica gave small
dinner party last evening in their
embassy on Sixteenth street. The
honor guest was Mrs. Mccormack,
wife of Representative John w.
Mccormack of Massachusetts,, Ma
jority Leader of the House. who
recently was presented the award
of Ribbon and Cross of Isabella.
Representative Mccormack shared
honors with her and the guests
numbered Is.
The embassy is a delightful spot
In summer with its air-cooled
drawing room and the charming
patio with the tinkling fountain
in the center. The house was built
many years ago by the late Mrs.
John B. Henderson with the hope
and expectation Of selling it to-
the Government for the home for
the Vice President. 1t was at the
time of the illness Of President
Woodrow Wilson when Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Thomas Riley Mar
shall acted as hosts to heads OF
foreign governments visiting here
in those years. The state enter
tanning for these dignitaries was
done in the home of the late Mrs.
Thomas F. Walsh on Massachu-
sets avenue and one extremely
large reception was given in the
Library of Congress when the
Prince of Wales, now the Duke of
Windsor, was the honor guest.
But Vice President Marshall
was not enthusiastic over the
project feeling that few, if any,
ever elected to the Vice Presidency
would have private means enough
to maintain such an establish
ment and that no Vice President
would need such a house except
in an emergency.
The Philippine Ambassador. Mr..
JowaQuin M. Elizalde, gave a
cocktail party yesterday afternoon
honoring the Undersecretary of
Foreign Affairs of the Philippines
and Mrs. Felino Neri, who are
here for several days. The 200
guests were received by the Am
bassador and presented to the
honor guests and in the company
were heads of diplomatic mis-
sions, members of both Houses of
Congress and officials Of the State
Department.
The Undersecretary and Mrs.
Neri will be guests Of honor at
dinner this evening given by the
Minister and Mrs. Melquiades J.
Gamboa in their home on Mac

DEAR MISS DIX: find my
self in a most unhappy situation
and I am asking you for counsel.
I am a young widow with a child.
and. have managed to make my
self fairly secure in the business
world. had been keeping company
with a man who has also been
fairly successful financially. We
both appreciate the nicer things in
life, such as entertainment,
clothes, hobbies, etc. Our families
are not the type that would get
along together and we are Of
different religious beliefs.
My friend does not dislike my
child, but has never shown signs
of affection towards her. He as
sures me that the differences in
religion and family background
are of no consequence in our case
and that he loves me for myself
alone. I believed I loved him, but
hesitated over marriage. afraid ii
might not be a success. We quar-
relied over my indecision and part
ed
Since then, have met another
man who has asked me to marry
him. He is charming to my baby,
our families get along well to-
gether and he Is more settled in
his ways. I think he would be a
fine foster father to my child. In
the past two months I have oc-
casionally met my former boy
friend and he has called me. ask
ing me to forget our quarrel and
go back together again. I believe
I still love him, but am assailed
with doubt as to whether or not
I should accept the man who likes
my child and seems a better mat
Irimonial prospect. or go back to
the one I love. L. P.
Answer: With so many doubts
in the atmosphere. I don't think
either suitor is the man for you.
T could certainly never advise you,
or anyone else, to marry q man
you don't love-which would seem
to eliminate suitor No. 2.
And for any young mother with
a child to contemplate marriage
to a man who is not whole-he
edly fond of her baby is to lay the
groundwork for a miserable fu-
ture. This point alone would
make me very weary of suitor No,
/. and in conjunction with all
the other vital matters on which
you don't agree makes him indeed
a poor prospect as a husband for
you. At this point, either mar
riage would be disastrous, and
you'd be better off continuing as
you are. making your own way,
supporting your child and being
answerable to no one.
Your love for the first young
man doesn't seem too strong: per-

Emily
Post

A reader asks: How can one
repay hosts when it is not possible
to offer them any money? These
are relatives-in-law who have in
vited us to spend week with
them on our way to the coast"
Return their hospitality some
time when they come your way.
Give them a cordial invitation to
stay with you if they ever come
out to the coast.
Bride and Groom Receiving
Dear Mrs. Post: May the we'd
ding principals receive outside the
church before continuing on to
the reception? I thought this
should be done in the vestibule
but was told that your advice says
outside the church. Only a few
people are going to the reception.
Answer: This is done only when
none but the family and most
intimate friends are invited to the
reception, and when many good
friends have to be left out. They
stand only for a short time in
the vestibule If there is room.
otherwise outside if it Is beau
tiful day.
September Wedding
Dear Mrs. Post: Would mid
September be too late for the
men in the wedding to wear white
dinner jackets.
Answer: Not in a warm climate.
Announce Own Wedding
Dear Mrs. Post: I don't live at
home and because I am marrying
out of my church my parents
refuse to have anything to do
with my wedding. I don't suppose
I could send invitations or even
announcements with their names
at the top under these conditions.
How else can they be worded:
Answer: Announce it yourselves:
Miss Mary Jones

Mr.. John Henry Smith
have the honor to announce
their marriage, etc.

Field Reps Are HSA
To Most Tar Heels

To many North Carolinians,
Hospital Saving Association is
not the Chapel Hill home office,
nerve center of HSA operations.
Blue Cross-Blue Shield is per-
haps best personified by the
friendly field representatives
who periodically visit each local
community.
These all-important blue
Cross ladies'" and "Blue Cross
men" operate out Of nine dis
trict Offices under the direction
of their district supervisors.
They are the link between the
Associations far-fung member
ship in this vast state and those
who guide their Plan.
No sunshine salesmen, these.
Representatives and supervisors
alike are well acquainted with
freezing rain, muddy roads,
summer heat, long hours and
aching feet! From the depths
of a mine to the mountain-top
dwelling, from the fisherman's
boat to the Office workers desk,
the field men and women of the
Association carry the Blue
Cross-Blue Shield message. No
wonder they are respected by
farmer and mill hand, housewife
and business man.
UnAagging in interest and
tireless in effort, they are i'm
portant members Of the better
health team which is striving
to provide the best protection
at the lowest cost to all the peO-
pie of this state.

Jobs for Student
Wives Play Vital
Part in Town Life

Hospital Saving Association
has become an important part
of Chapel Hill life. For ex-
ample, of the 1872 people en-
ployed in Hospital Savings
home Office, 30%a of them are
students wives.
These girls, who work in or
der to assist their husbands
through UNC, come from all
parts of the country and with
diverse backgrounds. One is a
former WAC, another a phar-
macist. They have migrated
from New York, California and
even New Zealand.
In providing employment for
these young women, Hospital
Saving has been of great value
in the student self-help program.
Many of the students, even
those with the CT allowance,
would not be able to continue
in school were their wives not
working. Hospital Saving AS
sociation has, in this way, ans
wered a real need.
One result of this employment
of student wives is an unusually
high turnover in labor. The
girls leave after a few years,
as soon as their husbands grad
uate. But HSA's personnel di-
rector, Ray Knight, looks at
the situation realistically and
realizes that the place Hospital
Saving is filling in the commun-
ity compensates for this con-
stant turnover.
However, it is not only stu
dents wives who are receiving
assistance. Some of the en-
ployees are going to school
themselves. Johnny Black, Su-
pervisor of the Tabulating Dept,
worked at HSA and attended
UNC for years. He made ar

New Building Promises Better
Service to Blue Cross.Blue
Shield Members ThroushoutN C..

The move of Hospital Saving
Association into it's new home
on West Franklin Street marks
the fulfllment of a dream Of
many years standing, according
to E. B. Crawford, executive
vice-president of North Caro-
lina's only Blue Cross-Blue
Shield Plan.
We've come a long way"
C m m n tie d Mr.. Crawford,
from the tiny Office on the top
floor of the old house which now
serves as Chapel Hills Public
Health Department, and the
four person staff that began en-
rolling members in 1885. Our
groups have swelled from the
pioneering Charlotte Teachers
Group to over 5000 today. Mem
bership rolls have expanded
from $4,000 by the end of 1886
to some 100000 by mid-1951.
District Offices have multiplied
to today's total of nine serving
the state from strategic points.
And most important of ALL"
the Association official said, "as
membership has expanded, the
value of Blue Cross-Blue Shield
benefits has been steadily in
creased to keep pace with mod
ern medical advances"
AS both membership and serv-
ice increased, Crawford pointed
out, more people had to be hired
to handle the workload, both in
the home office and in the field.
Result: a succession of head
quarters in Chapel Hill were
outgrown.
For long time now," he
continued, physical accomoda-
tions for the home office staff

Chapel Hill Woman
Holds HSA Record

A "One-night stand" turned
out to be a pretty extensive run
for Mrs. Thurman Partin in
Chapel Hill.
One day in January 1886, her
phone rang. It was plea for
assistance from Mr.. Felix Gri-
sette, executive director of the
three-man office of Hospital
Saving Association. The office
had only been open one month,
work had piled up and he need
ed good typist to help out for
an evening.
Mrs. Partin accepted the plea.
A one-evening job wasn't much,
but she would earn a few extra
dollars. Her husband had suf-
fered a back injury and she
wanted to help with expenses,
Fifteen years later the baby
organization has grown to be
the Association we know today,
with numerous branches and a
brand new building and the
employee who has worked for

The story behind that reads
