‘SOCIETY. " New Argentine Envoy v Represents Nation's . High-Type Publicists Dr. Pueyrredon Descendant | of Noted Family—Attains Exalted Rank by Way of Professional Chair. The ambassador from Argentina, Who presented his credentials to President Coolidge Monday, and who ‘Wwas received with a particularly felieltous speech, represents the lofty type of publicist, which the mighty Tepublic of the southern hemisphere | invariably has sent to.Washington. | or, By one of those happy coincidences, frequently noted in international velations, the ambassador comes of the same family as Gen. Juan Martin | Pueyrredon, who, a little more than | & century ago, was the civil head of the Argentinlan nation, which had| broken the fetters which bound it to! Spain. It was in this capacity that Gen. Pueyrredon opened relations be- tween his country and the United States and the ambassador felt par-| ticularly gratified when President | Coolidge alluded to the long and! friendly intercourse which the two re- publics_had maintained ever since. Dr. Pubyrredon is another illus: ! trioue example of the ttatesman and | diplomat who has attained his exalted | rank by way of a professional chair. He had devoted his eminent talents exclusively to teaching in the Law ! Colloge of the National University at ! Buenos Alres, and to a somewhat re- | stricted practice of law. He accepted | ~ bis first public office in 1910 and since | then his ascent into the highest posts | in the honor. and confidence of his | eountry has been almost meteoric. He, like Senora Pueyrredon, is a native of Buenos Aires, but in many respects he is a citizen of the worid, for he has traveled continuously in various countries of Europe and of the new [ world. The ambaseador was married about twenty-three s 2ccompanied to_ W is wife and six children. Eight chil- dren make up his family, but two daughters are married and remain in Buenos Aires. Though both are young, as years go in ambassadorial | housefiolds, Dr. and Senora Puevrre- | | don can_boast not only a delightful €roup of children, the voungest just nine, but an interesting littlc circle of grandchildren. Married While Professor. ! Senora Pucyrredon was before her marriage Miss Julicta Meyans, and her wedding occurred in the Argen- tinian capital while her husband held a modest post in the National Uni- versity. There are two daughters who have already bcen presented lul society, Miss Julla Helena Pueyr- don and Miss Raqueta Pueyrredon, #nd when the necessary amenities * pertaining to the arrival of an am- n dispensed Senora turn her attention to the fotes in which the younger set is concerncd. Mise Julia Pueyrredon | made her t a year a and her sister was presented last winter, so that the latter will come under the caption of a debutante of this season and will no doubt join their ranks and receive her meed of attention durmz:! the Euster season. i The vounger children, 2 - | gelica, who is fourtcen, and Martha, who is nine, will be placed in Horace is at nd the small- opportunity to ambassadeor is d lici- | shington. shall have | nce to participate in alll American games. and to imbibe American ideal in this tleld. To Move Embassy. One of the first social activities of| a and Senora Pueyrredon will ception to the diplomatic corps. and _they have been using every available moment making the usual cails on their seniors and on the mul- titude of American officials. It is probable that they will remove from the Hotel Hamilton tomorrow or Tuesday to the embassy and that this opening wedge into the strenuous life | of a diplomat In Washington will cur about the middle of the week. Dr. Pueyrredon takes an unusually democratic view of his obligations toward the members of the corps, for nearly all incoming are content to call only on their col- leagues in their lLimited circle and on such ministers as are within their <phere of influence, as the term goes. But the Argentinian ambassador has been callng on all ministers already residence bere. Yet, since he would naturally show this attention to all Latin America, his task to in- clude the few others not Latin was not so difficult as it would appear. Another very pleasant dutv which %o new ambassador will perform this soring will be to superintend the ¢ srection of the statue to San Martin. the national hero who commanded the armies which freed not only the Argentinian country but also three other. South American nations. This statue was voted by the congress of Argentina and has been accepted by the American Congress and, it is ex- pected, will be ready to erect some time In May or June of this year.
