French Ambassador to- the
United Nations and Nine.
Herve Alphand come to WASH
ington as Paris has been pre-
dieting for weeks, here IS a
brief picture of the Alphands.
She is an attractive blond
with tremendous charm and
considerable chic. She can sing
and play the guitar so well that
she did both of those things at
the st. Regis and at the Blue
Angel in New York during the
war when her husband was
working with the Free French.
For a while before that she
worked with Helle Bonnet in
her New York hat shop It's
not surprising that she and
her husband give marvellous
parties.
Herve Alphand not only tells
amusing stories, but he is as
good an imitator as Bob
Lovett. A gay person with a
brilliant mind, he longed for
the impossible in his tender
teens. Il would like to be an
ambassador but / would like
to live in Paris" In 1913 when
NATO was formed, he did Just
that. He became the French
Ambassador to NATO.
A topnotch economist and
financier, he became financial
adviser to the Turkish govern
ment at the age of 80. When
he was met by a Turkish Of
fetal upon his arrival there,
ne said, Il am Alphand."
Yes" said the Turk, but
