Wife of New Envoy
To Portugal Loved
Pointing Since Girl
By Isabelle Shelton

The last farewells have been
said. and at noon tomorrow the
M. Robert Guggenheims will
board the Italian liner Saturnia
in New York City ana sail direct
to Lisbon, Portugal, where the
copper magnate will present his
credentials as the new United
States Ambassador.
For Col. Guggenheim the as
signment represents the fulfill
ment of a long-held ambition.
AS for the Colonel's pretty,
blond. blue-eyed wife, Polly, the
idea that she might some day
preside as an Embassy hostess
was "the farthest thought from
my mind" as she was growing up.
Art-serious work at paint
ing in oils, particularly portraits
was the ambition since early
childhood of the former Re-
becca de Loatch Pollard. who
grew up in Norfolk, Va. One of
two children of Andrew w. Pol
lard, a successful real estate OPP
orator in the Norfolk area Che
was one of the developers of Vir-
ginia Beach,, she began taking
art lessons as young board
ing school student at Stuart Hall
in Staunton. Va.
Reel Name Rebecco
1t was during this period, Incl
dentally, that her schoolmates
gave her the nickname Polly, an
abbreviation of her last name,
which has chung to her ever
since. Her parents have always
called her Rebecca.
Young Polly" continued her
art work at the Comstock School,
a girls finishing school in New
York City, to which she trans
ferred when her father estab-
lished bond and mortgage firm
in New York.
Next came a year at the Grand
Central Art School in New York,
then four years at The School of
the Museum in Boston, a year
or so at the Leslie P. Thompson
Studio there, and then two years
of operating her own studio in
Boston.
Then 1t seems as though my
career ended" she said in an in
terview yesterday.
She was married to a Harvard
student. William B. Van Lennep.
who is now a teacher at Harvard.
They had a son, Richard, and
were divorced in 1887.
Her marriage to Col. Guggen-
helm took place the following
year in the salon of his 175-foot
luxury yacht, Firenze, off Miami
Beach, and they had leisurely
three-month cruise for a honey
moon.
Guggenheim gave the name
Firenze to the beautiful 35-room,
three-story mansion which they
subsequently bought in Wash

Liberian Ambassador Clarence
Lorenzo Simpson was host last
evening at a reception in the
Embassy at 1903 Sixteenth street
to celebrate the 106th ami
versary of his country's indie
pendence. The Ambassador re-
ceived alone, members of his
Embassy staff assisting through
the reception hours.
Guests numbered several hun
dred and invited were Vice
President and Mrs. Nixon, chiefs
of diplomatic missions, leaders
of both Houses of Congress, most
of whom were late in arriving
on account of the session; as
well as State Department officials
and officers of the various United
States Services.
An elaborate buffet was ar
ranged in the dining room
including both hot and cold
substantial foods. salads, hors
d'oeuvres of a very wide variety
as we'll as sherbet and ice
cream. And the liquid refresh
ment was equally varied.
New Minister Here
The first Minister from Laos,
Mr.. Ourst Souvannavong, who
presented his credentials ON
July IS, has moved into the
house at 1902 Klingle road. The
house is the former home of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
j. Happier and the new Minis
ter, establishing a new diplo-
matte mission here, will be
joined by Nine. Souvannavong
later in the year. Nine. Souvan-
navong is in France for the
summer.
The new legation staff is lin
tied to a First Secretary, Mr..
Suryadhay Inpeng, who with
Mime. Inpeng has been here for
some weeks. They have an
apartment at 2810 28th street
and are the proud parents o
a baby daughter born July %.
The only other aid at the new
legation is the Minister'S secre-
tary, Miss Florina Meloche, a
native of Canada who has served
very successfully at the French
embassy in a similar capacity.

Mrs. Cuggenheim Is Serious Student Of Art

to the first of March. Actually,
it's two separate plantations,
the larger of which $4,000 acres)
is devoted to "the shoot" Here
they shoot quail, dove, duck
and other wild fowl, and enter
tain a running stream, of house
guests.
It's all very efficiently or
ganized. New guests arrive each
Monday morning, return home
the following Sunday afternoon.
THAT leaves Robert and ne one
evening a week alone, before the
new guests arrive" Mrs. Guggen-
helm declared with a smile.
Since her marriage to Col.
Guggenheim she has added
shooting to her sporting &C
complishments. st have always
liked outdoor sports" she de-
clared.
II love to ride horseback, and
I used to sail my own little
boat "a 17-footer) in the boat
races off Long Island. I used to
like tennis too, although 1 don't
play very much any more"
She has fixed up an old barn
on the Firenze grounds into a
studio. and has been doing con-
siderable painting there, and
even more at Poca Sabo. At the
latter she has begun working away
from her favorite field of por-
traits, and has done mainly
landscapes of the surrounding
scenes.
She has exhibited her paint
ingS in several shows in Boston
and Washington, but never has
had a one-man Show-though
would love one" Any artist
would. She thinks maybe ''if I
work hard in Portugal I can
bring back enough paintings of
the local scenes for a one-man
SHOW" She won one award
honorable mention at an exhibit
at the Smithsonian for a por-
trait of Sonora Julio Huerte-
matte. the wife of a South
America diplomat.
What with her two magnifi-
cent establishments in this
country, the rented American
Embassy residence in Lisbon will
seem small by comparison. For
the past month she has been
busily porting over blueprints of
the residence, and trying to de-
eide what personal things to
bring along to supplement the
furnishings provided by the gov
eminent. Several original oil
paintings (not her own, but the
works of masters, several of
which are owned by Col. Gug-
genheim), are already on their
way overseas, along with small
tables and pieces of bric-a-brac.
None of the Colonel'S large
and exquisite collection of glass
ware-Early American, Irish
Waterford and Graeco-Roman-
is being shipped, because we are
afraid some pieces might be
broken" They will remain on
display at Firenze House, which
will be kept open by the servants
during the Guggenheims' service
overseas.
