STAR, WASHINGTON, three months in the Philippine Islands. Rear Admiral Henry H. Hough and Mrs, Hough went to New York yester- day and are at the St. Regis to remain , | for several days. Homes of Diplomats House Ardent Throng Of Yule Advocates (Continued From First Page.) have heard of Santa Claus and they think highly of him and the hanging of the stockings is a rite they approve of and also of celebrating just as their small neighborhood friends do; and especially do they approve of the giving and receiving of gfzm At the home of the Chinese Minister and Mme, Sze little Betty and Alice watch the approach of the great Chris- tian feast with eager eyes. . They have lived in Washington'long enough to ap- preciate something of its meaning and they take the utmost joy in the various fancy parties which are given between Chrsitmas and New Year, and pass much of their leisure designing costumes for these events. Memorable Parties Given At Mexican Embassies. Senora de Tellez, wife of the Mexican Ambassador, and the children, Emilia, Manuel and Luis, have given some memorable parties in the past years. But about 10 days ago they entertained all the small members of the diplomatic corps at a juvenile play, later asking them to a gay party in the big ball- room of the embassy. So Senora de Tellez will not have her customary revel on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, December 28, this year, but the large circle of children in the families of the Ambassador’s staff will be entertained at a special party during the holidays. In another ambassadorial home, the Chilean, are two little girls who will spend their second Christmas in Wash- ington, Luz and Violette Davila, and they have entirely revised their. ideas of celebrating the Christ Child’s birth- day. A solemn religious feast it is in their home in the South Pacific, where their stable of Bethlehem is represented, and Santa Claus and illuminated trees bearing gifts are not in the picture. But these will be present at their home fete this Christmas, and their devo- tions to the Holy Child in his lowly manger will be conducted in church. This same custom may be said to pre- vail in all the Latin American homes S.|at the present time. Senora Alfaro, wife of the Minister from Panama, was per- haps the last to cling to her traditional ways and have the miniature stable with the star and the shepherds watch. ing their flocks by night.

Revel of Joy Marks German Ol ance. A charming little maid—Maresa, daughter of the German Ambassador and Frau von Prittwitz—will be the center of a joyous feast in the very home of Kris Kringle and the Christ- mas tree. It has always been a Teutonic custom to make Christmas eve a revel of joys for the small folks and remi- niscent of such pleasures for the elders. All the children in the embassy and clerical staff will share in Maresa’s cel- elebration, while the Ambassador will en- tertain their parents at the usual din- ner. In the Polish, Czechoslovakian and Lithuanian legations the celebration will be on Christmas eve. Before the Treaty of Paris proclaimed the inde- pendence of these countries, Christmas was a day of humiliation, when poig- nant cries ascended that alleviation of their sad lot “might be granted by the Infant Savoor. Now the note of thanksgiving marks the religious side of the celebration. But other than this traditional ceremony is continued. The Polish Minister and Mme. Cienchan- owski will entertain the staff, the cler- ical force and the domestic retainers— in fact, all of the Polish blood within the city gates. The lighting of the trep and the distribution of gifts will begin after the first star appears in the East D. C, DECEMBER 23, 1928—PART 3.

Elaborate Function Listed For Czecho Legation. At the Czechoslovakian legation the newly arrived Minister, Dr. Ferdinand Veverka, and Mme. Veverka, assisted by their two children, Ferdinand and Nella, will entertain the staff and con= nected with the establishment. The Lithuanian Minister's wife and small daughter are in Kaunas, so he will distribute the usual gifts to his staff and household and accept the hospitality of friends in New York City. Gay feasts will mark the day at all the Scandinavian legations and among the members of the staff, where there are many little people. The Austrian Minister and Mme. Prochnik will have a party during the holidays and will keep the feast after the elaborate custom of Vienna. Britons and Canadi- ans will merge resources as to the juve- nile world, the small sons of Canadian envoy and Mrs. Vincent Massie, Lionel and Hart, being the hosts to the little Mahoneys and ‘Wrongs, and to little Miss Jean Torr, daughter of the second secretary of the British embassy, and to other boys and girls of King George’s circle.

IN:W York State Society fancy costumes appropos of the season, and carrying gifts of their own choos- ing. A huge fir tree stands in the sun parlor af the Secretary’s home and the curtains are all up just as high as they will go so the myriad of lights will shed their rays out over Massachusetts ave- nue and cheer the passerby. There they will burn during the week, the electric candles being replenished as needed, and in sight of the public will hang many beautiful toys. And too, Mrs. Davis has a way about children and toys that is quite as good to observe all the year around as at Christmas time. Whenever the chil- dren in the nursery forget to put their toys away in the places made for them. they are carried off and hidden by some orderly myth that haunts the YNPERWOOL rooms, and it is sometimes a month be- = fore they can be found again. This - makes a regular picture book nursery just like one reads about—that is, after & the children are in bed. The Country Home ball on Christ- mas night will be attended by society en masse, all dinner parties leading their guests that way, and for ultra smart- ness it will eclipse all other social affairs of the week. Mrs. Joseph Leiter, Mrs. James F. Curtis and many others are sponsoring it, and Nancy and Thomas Leiter will join the rest of the school girl and boy element in attending. 1to 8 P.M.
