man who led the movement which
resulted In the bloodless abolition
Of slavery In Brazil In 1888, and
was subsequently his country's first
envoy Of ambassadorial rank to
the United States, Miss Nabuco
has twice been the recipient Of
awards from the Brazilian Acad-
emy Of Letters. She is the first
of her countrywomen to be SO sig
nally honored.
Her first book. the Life Of Joa-
quinn Nabuco," Is a 600-page biog-
raphy OF her father. who with our
own Elihu Root. was one Of the
staunchest advocates of Pan Amer
icanism when it was but a theory.
An Authoritative History.
After 20 years this volume still
continues to be one Of the most
authoritative and widely quoted
historical accounts of the political
movement headed by Joaquin Ma
buco In behalf Of the common
people In opposition to the tenets
OF his own class. The Republic Of
Brazil. which came into being In
1889, was It's aftermath.
In 1929 Brazil's Academy Of Let
ters bestowed upon Miss Nabuco
its highly priced Erudition Award
for her authorship Of the biogra-
ply Of her father. which has gone
into three editions in Brazil, an
unusual occurrence In q country
where subsequent editions Of any
publication are the exception
rather than the rule. She has
subsequently briefed and edited
the volume into a popular chill
dren's edition widely used In Bra
lillian schools.
This last year Ronald Hilton.
director Of Hispanic American
Studies and professor Of romance
languages at Stanford Univer-
sity, translated Miss Nabuco's BIZ
ography Of her father into English
under the auspices of Stanford
Uniyersity's Hispanic American
Studies Program. The Stanford
Press refers to the Life of Joa-
quinn Nabuco" In its English edi-
tion as a real contribution to
inter American understanding,
Too little Is known in the United
States about Brazil's culture and
civilization, although that country
was our principal ally in Latin
America during World War II. A
similar translation Of the volume
has been made into Spanish by
Gilberto Sanchez-Lustrino, which
is being favorably received in
Spanish-speaking countries.
Miss Nabuco is likewise one OF
her country's outstanding novel;
lists. Her first novel, "A Success
sora" (The Successor). published
In 1884. Is now in its fourth Bra
lillian edition. in addition to being
widely read In Spanish countries.

AS forecast in The Star long
ago, the United Nations stamps
are to be manufactured abroad.
The contract has been awarded
Ito. j. Enchede & Sons, HARLEM.
Holland. and Thomas de la Rue
& Co., Ltd, London, England.
Thus it seems that there may be
two varieties of each separate
stamp, and collectors desiring
complete representation in their
albums will be obliged to buy both
sets.
It has been announced that the
II regular postage labels will be
~ by 33mm in size and the four
airmails 81 by 40mn. The stamps
viii be produced in sheets Of so
and all are to be steel engraved.
IT has not been decided whether
plate numbers will be used.
Two designs have been chosen
for the airmail stickers. The first
Iof these is the work of Ole Ha-
mann. a Dane, and features an
lairplane and a gull. It will be used
on the 6 and 10-cent adhesives.
The second airpost also is the
Icreation of a Dane-Olav Mathie-
sen by name. It includes a flight
of swallows and the in. emblem
and will appear on the Is and Is
cent airmail denominations.

Only million copies Of the 81
stamp have been ordered, so that
only ! million complete sets Of the
rs U. N. stickers will exist. The
contracts call for delivery Of the
regular postage issues by Septem-
ber Is and the airpost adhesives
lby October Is.

Prominent as Woman Of Letters

thinks she can never win her hus-
bands love and suffers great emo

still act on the dead woman's
orders and resent the second wife.

years before Daphne Du Maurier's

peared on English and American
bookstands in 1898.
Novel Wins Award.
Flame and Ashes" Miss Ma
buco'S last novel received the
Coelh Neto award from the Bra
lillian Academy Of Letters as the
best novel published in her coun-
try in 1948. Thus, this South
American author becomes the first
of her countrywomen to receive
an award from the Brazilian
Academy of Letters for both a
biography and q novel.
Out OF her telling of Bible sto-
ries to her own nieces and neph-
leWs when they were little, and
subsequently to her Sunday School
pupils evolved her Stories for
the First Communion" which are
very popular with children.
Miss Nabucco has lectured FREE
quenlty in Brazil. sometimes un-
der the auspices of her govern
ment, notably on Women and
Education. previous to the crea-
tion of Brizil's cabinet post OF
education in 1886. She spoke
recently before the Washington
Club. when she emphasized the
strides her countrywomen are
making in coming out OF their
traditional seclusion into the pro-
fessional world, particularly since
World War III.
They have had the vote since
1890, and now are electing them
selves to our Parliament" she
told me.
She remembers, however, when
even the "shop girls" were men in
all the departments given over
to the sale of women's clothes.
This talented Brazilian woman
still continues her writing in the
midst Of this city's social whirl.
She Is at present at work on
another novel. that also is psyche
logical study.

II like people and I like WASH
ington and the opportunity I have
to become acquainted with those
who come to its midst from every
part of the United States and
from every country in the world, y
she said very earnestly. Nowhere
that I have been miss Nabuco
was educated in France, England
and the United States do older
women have the opportunities to
still enjoy life that they do here, y
she commented. "They are not
laid upon the shelf in any way,
but are still factors as hostesses
as leaders in civic movements and
apparently in any other fields they
may elect. The traditional grand
mother OF my country is certainly
non-existent for the most part in
the United States. Everywhere she
seems to be having just as excit-
ing and almost as active time ais
her grandchildren, and in MANY
instances she seems to live longer
than grandfather, because the
high tension of business life In
this country appears to take a
high toll Of its middle men. "
This theme Miss Nabuco has
elaborated upon with other OBJ
servations on life in the United
States In the articles she fire.
