Pleasingly Entertain | In Informal Way. | The director and Mrs. Campbell en- tertain informally but pleasantly in | the patio of the puilding which, after the exposition is ended, is to serve the United States Government as home and offices for the consul and for the vice consul. At present it contains only the offices of the officials who are in charge of the exhibits, but the great salon and the open spaces in the heart -of the | building are used as a promenade and | at times tea, sandwiches and cakes are | served to American visitors or their friends. A continual fiesta, marking United States week, was held at the end of May. On the opening day the King, who was about to move with the court to San Sebastian, sent as his per- sonal representative his great-uncle, Don Carlos, the Infante and younger son of Queen Isabella. Infante, a fine, upstanding soldier, clad in a gorgeous uniform and accompanied only by an aide, moved among the visitors in the most democratic manner and consumed large cups of tea and ate the sand- wiches and cakes with apparent relish. The Ambassador from Washington and Mrs. Hammond were present and greet- ed all in a cordial, informal way. Mrs. Campbell and the three woman com- missioners, Mrs. Fred Upham, Mrs. Helen B. Boswell and Miss Agnes Rep- plier, made up the receiving line. In the salon, acting as aides to keep the guests moving and entertained, were the vice consul and Mrs. Gerald Keith. Another distinguished daughter of the United States is Miss Irene Wright of Denver, Colo., but who for the past 20 years has been with her mother, Mrs. | Letitia Wright, a resident of Seville, | Miss Wright has been appointed one of the special aides of Gov. Campbell, and she extends her duties in the social field as well as to the interpretation of | weighty and involved Spanish laws. She | is working on the Archives of the Indies, the contents of which have furnished the broad background for all historical investigation of American history in the first three centuries after the landing of Columbus. Mrs. Campbell as Hostess Follows Spanish Custom. Mrs. Campbell has caught the spirit of informal entertaining which prevails in Spain during all fiesta seasons, and the duration of the two expositions has been declared such. Tables are ranged against the walls and are daintil spread, and either Mrs. Campbell or Mrs. Keith choosing aldes from the official grou of Americans now domiciled at sevflr:_ Pretty visitors from the homeland are pressed into service to pass sandwiches and cakes and deft waiters move softly about, keeping the urns filled with steaming water and with the strong, deep brown Canton tea which seems popular in Spain. Several hundreds of guests are served in & twinkle, and they move out into the open spaces, leaving abundant room about the tea tables for the newcomers. All this without ap- parent effort on the part of vigilant aldes of both sexes who are delegated for this vurgou All through May and up to the pres- ent time in June crowds poured into the United States buildings, after 7 o'clock Spanish time, but in reality about 5:30 o'clock, and had the pleas- ure of meeting other Americans and exchanging _experiences and chatting with the officials, who were always in readiness at least for a few moments of greetings. After the hospitality of the consular building, concerts were of- fered in the adjacent garden by thc | Uniled States Army Band and the mov- ing pictures were in progress six hours & day. Gov. Campbell reckoned that about 1,000 citizens of the United States called in Madrid during the week dedicated to the Republic and about the same number since the Seville Exposition opened its doors.

So the working day begins early and stops from two to three hours after midday and then re- sumes until about 10 at night.
