Monday night for the Belgian

There were some toaStS at the
end of dinner. The AmbaSsa-
dor toasted his honor guest
and the Foreign Minister re-
taliated with a few remarks as
to how he had always wanted
the Belgian foreign service
officers to be married and he
was so glad that Ambassador
Silvercruys had finally taken
the hint.
Mr.. Van iceland only had
to travel from New York for
the occasion. He is currently
attending the U. N. General
Assembly as head of his coun-
try's delegation.
BY the way, Baron Silver
cruyS and his bride now know
how the closely guarded secret
of their marriage leaked out
several days before the we'd
ding day. Seems that the
florist inadvertently let the
cat out of the bag. Wonder
why people ever think they
can keep a secret in this best
covered town in the world,
anyhow?
Instead of a recession around
the corner, prosperity would
seem to be with us. The

Pan American Union Best for Huge White lie Receptions

to be used for all such big and
important parties in Wash

It was even hinted the other
evening that it might be avail
able for such receptions as the
Greek King and Queen will
give, for instance, if asked for,
but most people think it is
limited to use by Latin -Ameri-
can countries only. There is
certainly no other public place
in Washington with crystal
chandeliers, a beautiful dance
floor, lighted fountain, a huge
terrace and gardens that will
accommodate 1,500 people.
This oficial-filled city really
needs something the size of the
Palace of Versailles to accom-
modate its hundreds of big
wigs but, failing that, it would
be easier to add improvements
to the Pan American Union
that transport Louis XIV'S for

That fun reception that
rumba-ed until 2 in the morn

day for women reporters that
no man could have stood. At the
