called the charges ''baseless,"
But the British government, re-
porting the Chinese turned down

said the Reds insisted the evidence

The British acted as go-betweens
because this country does not rec

quently combined.
Also Hard Work
But, Sonora de Mora warns,
while it is a rewarding and
glamorous life, it also involves
q lot of hard work.
1.-THE job of an Ambassadors
wife has no fixed hours; there
is no time when one is not
working" she said.
People judge a country
often by. its diplomatic repre-
sentatives. A diplomats wife

process of having a copy made.
Here I just walk into a store
and walk out with a new dress

Many Languages
Another important asset for
a diplomats wife Is knowledge
of languages. Sonora de Mora
speaks French and English,
as well as her native Spanish.
and has some knowledge Of
italian and Portuguese.
So you see, behind the raz-
zle-dazzle facade, a great deal
of study and energy is ex-
pended. And the results and
rewards are infinitely desir-
able.
To represent ones country
abroad is a great honor and
to do it as well as Sonora de

husband has represented his
country here for over eight
years: He was originally named
Ambassador to the Organiza-
ton Of American States and in
1916 took over his present
position.
During her long stay here
Sonora de Mora has learned to
organize her time well, She
begins the day very early,
waves her husband off to work
and then confers with her
butler, maid and cook about
the days plans. She tells them
what guests are expected for
each meal and what the menus
will be. Then she telephones
her favorite market and orders
the food herself.

II always do my own mar
keting and shopping. In fact.

prefer to drive myself" she

Sonora de Mora has a bright
red car with a red and black
interior and red upholstery
