famous statesman, Henry Clay,
gave the bride in marriage.
Her father had died.
The bride and her eight
bridesmaids, all classmates at
Miss English's fashionable
school and all in their early
teens, wore their first grownup
dresses at the wedding. The
Baron designed the dresses.
The tall, blond bride wore a
Russian dress, a diamond
coronet and a silver veil. The
Baron, a small gnome-like
man, was resplendent In the
uniform of the Russian I'm

Although the diplomatic
corps was small there were
problems of protocol at the
Bodisco wedding. They might
be difficult to solve today; even
by those wizards Of protocol

The three American chate-
LANES Of important embassies,
in this winter of 1955-1956, are
well endowed to meet all re-
quirements.
Backgrounds
Before her marriage Lady
Makins was Miss Alice Davis,
daughter of the diplomat and
statesman, Dwight F. Davis.
She has been conversant with
every facet of Washington
life since her early girlhood.
She maintains the embaSsy's
prestige in hospitality and en-
pertaining with charm and
dignity. She gives most gen.
erous support and service to
the projects the women Of
Washington are interested in.
Baroness Silvercruys. one Of
the most beautiful women in
the diplomatic circle, has a
distinct fair for entertaining.
Festivities at the embassy
linger IN the memories of those
invited. She knows her WASH
ington well, for her first hus-
band was the late Senator
Brien Mcmahon of Connect
cut.
Sonora de Berckemeyer is
also well schooled in the ways
of Washington. She was Miss
Claribel Rapp of California
before her marriage to the
Peruvian diplomat. She loves
her native State and pays fire.

American wives Of members
of the stats Of embassies
have important, often glamor-
GUS. supporting roles in the
diplomatic scene. An ambas-
sador's wife is apt to regard
the presence of an American
wife in the embassy circle as
q fortunate asset.
Enter Dan Cupid
The history of American
women in the diplomatic pic
ture reveals that Dan Cupid
has had more than a secon-
Diary influence on the happi-
ness and fortunes OF many
Washington bellies. Weddings
of Washington girls and diplo-
mats have been highlights Of
many social seasons.
The very first of these diplo-
matte weddings took place in
1849 when 16-year -old Harriet
Beall Williams, daughter Of
Brooke Williams Of George
town, was married to 59-year-
old Baron Alexander de Bod

American women have al
ways played stellar roles in the
diplomatic drama in Washing
ton. American wives of foreign
ambassadors are well cast for
their parts in the present hour
pageant of nations In our Ma
tional Capital.
A trio of leading ladies in.
cludes Lady Makins. wife Of
Sir Roger Makins. British AM
bassador; Baroness Silvercruys,
wife of Baron Robert Silver
rugs, Belgian Ambassador;
Sonora de Berckemeyer, wife
of Senior Don Fernando de
Berckemeyer, Peruvian Am
bassador. They all deserve ap-
plause and curtain calls as
embassy hoStesseS and engage
ing emissaries of the countries
their husbands represent.
Many golden pages of many
eras have been written in the
chronicles of embassies and
legations in Washington by
women who could claim the
United States as their BIRTH
place. They have also sparkled
in far flung corners of the
world and in court circles in
foreign capitals.
The American women in the
diplomatic corps in Washing
ton become interpreters of
American customs and usages
for the members of the corps.
They form a gracious liaison
between the women from many
lands and the women of WASH
tngton and the United States.
Versed in Diplomacy
Diplomatic hoStesses in these
days-in our world capital
must be well versed in the art
of diplomacy and the strictest
protocol. They must be we'll
informed in relation to the
customs and history, the objec-
tives and issues of their coun-
tries. Their duties are quite
unlike those Of the ladies of
the diplomatic corps of yester-
year.
Then their responsibilities
were confined. almost entirely,
to entertaining and being en-
tertained; paying and receiv-
ing diplomatic and official
calls.
Now they are called forth
to make comments or even de-
liver addresses. They join cam
paigns for educational and
philanthropic projects. They
must be constantly on the
alert to avoid an incident"
Most Of them are dedicated to
a common goal-to further

Ellsworth Bunker. president of

night his organization may be
called on for as much as IS mil
lion in aid to flood victims of
California. Oregon and Nevada.
Red Cross headquarters also
announced that Mr.. Bunker will
fly today to the West Coast TO
help speed rehabilitation efforts.
He will visit disaster headquar-
tiers in San Francisco and chap
tiers in fiood-torn areas.
Mr.. Bunker raised to 5000 his
estimate of the number of fam
lilies that may look to the Red
Cross for assistance. In a mes
sage to chapters across the coun-
try. he said the potential of IS
million in relief would be for
temporary mass care and the
far more costly long-term help. A"
Mr.. Bunker said aid programs
would include repair and rebuild
ing Of homes, providing furniture
and other necessities and assist

Lehman Scores
InsuranceDeIay

Senator Lehman. Democrat Of
New York, took the administra-
ton to task again last night for
delaying its recommendations on
a system of disaster insurance,
suggested by, the serious floods
in many parts Of the country
this year.
Senator Lehman said the Pres
ident pledged that these rec
concentrations would be given to
our committee Senate Banking
Committed during the month
of October. They have not been
received.
The New York Senator said he
hoped the various departments
would submit specific proposals
this week, adding. they are long
and inexcusably overdue"
Chairman Fulbright Of the
Banking Committee said recently
the writing of a disaster insur-
ance bill would be one of the
first jobs tackled by the commit
tee after Congress meets.
A subcommittee headed by
Senator Lehman held bearings in
November, based on the disas-
Itrous floods in New England and
the South following the hurri-
canes this year. More recently
large areas on the West Coast
have been subjected to loss of
life and heavy damage.
II hope We need no further
tragedies in any other part Of
the country to demonstrate the
urgent need for prompt and ex-
lpeditious action on the part of
the Federal Government--both
the Executive Branch and Con-
Igress." said Senator Lehman.
He called for disaster insur-
ance and a stepped, up program
Iof flood control public works.
But he advocated priority for the
disater insurance bill because of
the time it will take to buil6
flood control projects.
