AHonso's S Portruif
Hangs in Embassy

Argentina and Ambassador
Chiriboga Of Ecuador.
As Mr.. Bergen began the
show. which was heard around
the world through the facilities
Of the Voice Of America, he
described the setting Of the
Spanish Embassy and the room
from which he was broadcast
ing which he said. 'has more
good paintings. foot for foot,
than any foreign soil I've ever
been on"
And during the course Of
his radio conversation with
Mr.. Bergen, the Ambassador
described his family's first days
here.
"We have been sightseeing
in Washington, visiting the
monuments all lighted up at
night. My two boys with us,
who are IL and IA and speak
no English. have been taking
lessons by phonograph. They
wear earphones and English is
fed into their heads. I guess
you might say they're being
electronically BRAIN washed"
The Ambassador later ex-
changed jokes with Charlie
Mccarthy. as did his 16-year
old daughter Mercedes, who
displayed as much poise and
stage presence as a profess
sional, and looked lovely in q
black evening dress with wide
white satin bands over the
shoulders.
Bolencioeo Gown
For her social and radio
debut. the Ambassadors wife
wore a white satin Balenciaga
gown with a full skirt and
cummerbund trimmed with
ruby colored sequins. Her
matching stole was lined with
the same ruby color in satin.
And her jewels. which were in
herited from her mother, con-
sisted Of a diamond necklace
and two diamond and ruby
clips.
Preceding the broadcast,
guests helped themselves to
dinner from a large buffet and
ate of dazzling silver plates.
And after the show dessert
was served while guests lis
tened to a concert given by
Senor Regime Sainz de la
Maza. the famous guitarist
who came down from New
York where he had just given
a concert at Town Hall.

For the first time In about
20 years large portraits Of the
late King Alfonso XIII, the
last king of Spain and his wife,
Victoria Eugene, are once
more to be seen at the Span
ish Embassy.
Last night, at q black tie
dinner for about go people. the
new Spanish Ambassador Don
Jose Maria de Areilza and his
wife the Countess of Motrico,
gave their first party since
their arrival here two weeks
ago, and many Of the guests
specHlated ais to the signifi-
canoe Of the portraits.
With all the recent talk
about the possibility Of the
restoration of the Spanish
Monarchy, 1t was only natural
that the Ambassador should
be queried on this point.
There is really no political
significance to the re-appear-
ance OF the portraits, /" the Am
bassador replied. "They were
removed just after the revolu-~
ton and put down in the base
ment and people forgot about
them. After all, this -is part
Of SPANS heritage. One can
not deny history. And they
are painted by Sotomayor, now
director Of the Prado Museum
and formerly the court
painter"
Another Find
The Ambassador pointed
with great pride to another
find" in the basement. Now
hanging over the mantelpiece
between the two portraits is
the coat of arms Of the first
Spanish mission to the United
States in Philadelphia during
the days Of the American Re-
volution.
The Areilzas' social debut
was not just an ordinary en-
bassy party. for guests had the
added entertainment Of watch
ing the Edgar Bergen radio
show broadcast directly from
the Embassy.
This hour-long show is the
first in a series being planned
by the famous performer which
will originate in the various
embassies in town.
Last nights guests had q
chance to watch their host and
hostess and their eldest daugh-
ter. Mercedes. appear on the
program and they displayed all
the showmanship for which
Spaniards are famous.

flew back to the stables and
have not come out since"
"Come see!" cried the elves.
They took Tom down to the

stood in their stalls. Their heads
dropped and their eyes were
filled with fear and shame. They
| did not look at all like the proud

They raced to the balloon shop

There were barrels and barrels
of them packed for Christmas

was the use of saving them for
Christmas if there wasn't going
