atures for Women Fe Part 3—12 Pages MISS ALBERTA PERLEY Recently returned from Europe with her mother, Mrs, Clarence W. Perley. Harris & Ewing. Capital Society Is Advised Of Important Functions Scheduled for This Week Formal Notice Given by Chief Executive, Secre- tary Stimson, and Others of Ceremonies to Honor Foreign Barristers. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE thrill that comes with the receipt of an official envelope was experienced by society last week, first the card of invi- tation from the White House for the garden party or recep- tion which the President and Mrs. Hoover will give for the E visiting members of the law societies of England, France, Scotland, Ireland and Canada, and then a similar card from the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson. Other imposing invitations followed until there was an elaborate program spread over the brief space of Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, extensive enough to last through a long famine of social events. ARDS from the White House simply read that “The President and b Mrs. Hoover request the pleasure of the company of on Tuesday, August Twenty-sixth, at four-thirty o’clock,” with “Garden Party” in the left-hand corner. This is the rule for invitations from the Chief Executive and his lady not to state for whom they en- tertain. But the words “Garden Party” always give a thrill which no indoor affair could impart. Already the driveway through the south front lawn has undergone repair and workmen have been busy there for days getting the place in readiness for the entertainment of the several hundred guests. MORE exhaustive was the card of invitation from Secretary and Mrs. Stimson, reading “In honor of the members of the law so- cieties visiting the United States as guests of the American Bar As- soclation, the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson request the honor of your company at a reception on Wednesday the Twenty-seventh of August, ffom half after four until seven o'clock.” While Woodley, their charming place on Cathedral avenue, has suffered from the drought as have all country places, the grounds are still quite fit for a garden party and the event will be one long to live in the minds of the visitors. . IT is quite fitting that the other big event, unofficial as to its hosts, should likewise take on an alfresco air, and in honor of the visit- ing lawyers—not their ladies—Mr. and Mrs. George E. Hamilton will give a buffet luncheon Wednesday at 1 o'clock at their charming country place, Stone Ridge, Bethesda, Md. A LUNCHEON for men will be given at the Chevy Chase Club the day of arrival—Tuesday—by the Lawyers’ Club, and at the same time the ladies accompanying the foreign lawyers will be entertained by the Ladies’ Committee.at a luncheon at Wardman Park Hotel. Attorney General Willlam De Witt Mitchell will give one of the largest parti€s of the whole series and one of the most beautiful, when Tues- day evening he entertains at dinner followed by a reception in the Pan-American Union Building. WEDN’ESDAY and Thursday evenings are embassy evenings, Sir Ronald Lindsay being host at the British embassy on the first gmentioned day and Mr. Jules Henry, counaelor and charge d'affaires, serving as host at the French embassy in the absence of the Am- bassador, M. Claudel. Both receptions are at. 10 o'clock, thus giv- ing ample time for dispersing the dozens of dinner parties that will precede them. THE barristers themselves will be hosts Thursday entertaining at luncheon on the roof garden of the Hotel Washington, and the Federal Bar Assoclnfi?n will have the visiting lawyers as guests at dinner Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the Carlton. There will be many private parties, both luncheons and dinners, during the stay of the visitors and there are trips to Mount Vernon planned. FOUR women delegates are included among the distinguished law- yers visiting the United States—Miss Mercy Ashworth, Miss Sarah Moshkowitz, Mrs. Florence Earengey and Miss Dorothy Scott Stokes—who will be guests of the Women’s Bar Association of the District of Columbia at the Willard Hotel Thursday. Judge Mary O'Toole, on the bench of the Municipal Court, will preside. This will be one of the most brilliant and interesting of all the entertainments and especially as several of the committee went to London and Paris with the American Bar Association in 1924. 'ORMER Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg was Ambassador from the United States to England at that time—1924—and he and Mrs. Kellogg entertained with a large reception at Crewe House, on Curzon street, London. There was a little restlessness and un- easiness about the party, for just as the ests were arriving the L (Continued on Page 3, Column 6.) £ fire engines were leaving, called to the palace to pump the water o SOCIETY SECTION he Sunday Star, WASHINGTO: SUNDAY MOR GUST 24, 1930.

Harrls & BEwing, Dr. Arcaya Has Begun AS Venezuclan EflVOy Popular Minister Is Classed Among the Able States- men and Scholars in His Native Counh-y. Dr. Pedro Manuel Arcays, who has entered on his second term as Min- ister from Venezuela, is one of the most distinguished statesmen and scholars of his country. When he came to Wash- ington first and presented his creden- tials to President Harding, in Septem- ber, 1922, he had already been min- ister of foreign affairs, of the interior, attorney general and president of the Senate and had achieved fame in the domain of letters and for his judicial studies. He was named special Am- bassador from Venezuela in May, 1924, to attend the ceremontes in Lima, com- memorating the centenary of Peruvian independence. The Minister has, since leaving Lima, been making historical studies in connection with the National Academy of Caracas and writing eth- nological, sociological and ethnograph- ical essays. He has also written the chronicles of the . State of Falcon, deemed a most important contribution to _early Venezuelan history. ‘When Dr. and Senora Arcaya came to Washington in 1922 their family consisted of three children, Mariano, a son, now 13; Isabel, who is 11, and another son, Carlos, who is 9. The family now numbers 7 children, of whom Ana, who is 7, and Maria, 6, were born during their parents’ resi- dence on Massachusetts avenue, just beyond Sheridan Circle. Iganio, who is 2, and Pedro Manuel, jr., counting Jjust 5 months of existence, are natives of Caracas. Dr. Arcaya arrived during the burning days of late July, and after presenting his credentials to President Hoover he sought a cool re- treat for his family in Atlantic City. Senora de Arcaya and the children will remain there until October, and meantime the Minister has secured a spacious legation at 2209 Massachusetts avenue, where he will be the immediate neighborr "(.!1( the Chilean Ambassador and of e - Egyptian, Swedish and Austrian Ministers. Senora Arcaya comes of exceedingl: Anteresting ancestors, the Urrutie flml‘y. of Basque origin, the founders of which located in Venezuela in the early chap- ters of Spanish colonial history. She was Senorita Maria Tereas Urrutia, daughter of Judge Carlos Urrutia, who was a member of the Supreme Court of his country. Readers of periodical literature will instantly recall the an- nals of the Urrutias still dominant in the Basque country and on both sides of the Pyrenees, which have formed the subject matter of several books by Eleanor Mecein, “The Book of Bette,” “The Story of the Basque Coun- try” and many other volumes which were eagerly devoured last Summer by visitors to Northern Spain and Southern France. Many tourists from the United States turned from the beaten path to see the “gold coast” of the ues, a_beautiful section of mountain land where Basques who made fortunes in the New World have built sumptuous villas and have the most modern and well kept farms. But Senora Arcaya’s ancestors have been settled on the soil of Venezuela since the middle of the M. | sixteenth century. ‘The Minister is a member of the Royal Spanish Academy and had a prominent part in founding the Vene zuelan National Academy of Politic He is of commanding appear- ance, with kindly, genial manners. Senor Grisanti, whom he succeeds, has been appointed Minister from Venezuela to the Vatican, but he and his family are still in Caracas and not leave for Rome until some in the late 1| Autumn, Hi!
