Mrs. Karl Gruber. wife Of the
new Austrian Ambassador, en-
tertained at tea very informally
yesterday in her handsome en-
bassy on Massachusetts, avenue.
Her guests were limited to wom-
en- news writer's and broadcast
erS and she was assisted by wives
of members of the embassy
staff including the wife Of the
new counselor, DR.. Ernst Schiller,
who has been here only a few
weeks.
Mrs. Gruber greeted her guests
in the charming drawing room
across the front of the house.
She is tall, very slender and
graceful, and wore a frock Of
organza in wide checks and mar
row stripes Of black and old gold,
very becoming to her very dark
brown hair and deep brown eyes.
She wears her hair in a part
quite low on the right side and
drawn into a low knot at the
back. Her hair is soft and fine
and without permanent"
wave. About her neck she wore
a narrow band of gold from
which hung a gold four-leaf
clover, "a charm from my
grandfather's watch chain," she
said.
