A popular maid who has chosen the informal debut is Miss Betty Richards, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Richards. She will be presented at a luncheon October 18 at the Mayflower Hotel by her mother. Miss Richards will be the first of the 1930 group to “come out.” The 1930 debutante does not plan to spend her first season out in society in a whirl of nothing but teas, luncheons, dinners and dances, but has expressed her de- sire to devote some of her time to aiding worthy charities as well as furthering her knowledge in art, music or whatever may be to her particular liking. A number of girls in certain “clicks,” will meet informally this week to make plans for studying or do- ing something really worth while. The adjutant general of the Army and Mrs. Charles H.

Senhor and Senhora Chermont Welcomed In Diplomatic Circle Second Secretary of Brazil- ian Embassy, Son of Amer- ican Mother, Spent Boy- hood Days in Washington. One of the most interesting recent arrivals in the diplomatic corps is the second secretary of the Brasilian em- | bassy, Senhor Jayme Sioan Chermont, who spent part of his boyhood in Wash- ington and who is a son of a well known lady from Baltimore, the former Miss | Helen Sloan, a conspicuous hostess in the Brazilian embassy in the early 19005 when Dr. Joachim Nabuco was Ambas- sador. The secretary of the Brazilian embaasy is beginning his diplomatic ca- reer in the same rank as his father, Senhor E. Leite Chermont, his father now serving his country as Minister to | The Netherlands. | The elder Chermont, & member of a | distinguished family of Rio with & far- reaching tradition in the public service | of the empire as well as of the republic, | selected the consular service, then a | distinct branch from diplomacy proper. |and was first sent to Baltimore as vice | consul. It was while in Washington's | neighboring city that he met and mar- | ried Miss Sloan, a daughter of the late ‘Mr. and Mrs. James Sloan, jr. Soon | after the marriage, which occurred in 1897, Senhor Chermont was transferred to the diplomatic branch and after a brief service in London was sent to | Washington as second secretary of the | embassy under Dr. Nabuco. | _This lamented poet and scholar, Dr. | Nabuco, was the first Ambassador which | Rio de Janeiro sent to Washington and | the period (1905-11) was particularly | brilljant. Senhora Chermont, the senfor, | was among the most active of the | younger matrons, particularly in the group affiliated with the Visitation Con- vent of Georgetown, where she had been | educated. She presided over a delight- ful home on Eighteenth street near Q | street. and was celebrated among_ her friends for her housewifely accomplish- ments. It was in London, to which Senhor Chermont was transferred, that the second Chermont to serve in Wash- ington was born. In 1912 his father returned to Washington and was for a few years counselor of the embassy, when he was promoted as Minister from Brazil to Tokio. During the nomadic period which his parents experienced in the next 15 years the present secretary was placed at school near his mother's former home and it was at the Gilman Country School in Roland Park that he was prepared for college. He studied at the National University in the Brazilian capital, an institution which had a prosperous career under the empire as San Pedro College. Senhor Chermont was married two years ago to Senhorita Zaide de Mello- Franco, daughter of a distinguished jurist of Rio, Dr. Afronio de Mello- Franco, who represented Brazil on the Supreme Council of the League of Na- | tions at Geneva. She has accompanied her husband to Washington. Senhor and Senhora Chermont are |at present residing in the Mayflower, ‘but they are devoting their leisure to finding a suitable house or apartment | for homekeeping. Although as & new- comer Senhor Chermont has been busily engaged in the chancelry of the em- bassy, he has found time to renew acquaintance with many whom he knew in his boyhood and many who knew his parents. attend. The bride will have no attend- ant and Mr. Douglas H. Gordon will | be best man for his cousin.
