Latin Independen Chilean Ambassador’s day Next Will Be Bril eral Hundred Guests Enjoying Hospitality. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Glamorous Latin American coun- tries this week will celebrate their in- dependence days, Chile and Mexico each having enjoyed a century and a quarter of independence. The Am- bassador of Mexico and many mem- bers of his staff are in New York to- day, having taken part in the gor- geous ball given at the Waldrof-As- toria in that city last night by the Mexican consulate. Many of the smaller countries will also celebrate— somehow those delightful countries are ‘never in such happy mood as when holding a fete of some sort. But really Chile bears the palm for | contributing to the month its most glittering array of events. The Am- bassador, Senor Don Manuel Trucco, and Senoritas Trucco will extend their hospitality to several hundred | guests Wednesday, when there will be & reception in the embassy to cele- brate independence day, and again there will be unusual life in the em- | bassy from October 25 to 28, when the Chilean Army "poloists will be in the Capital. Their three days’ com- | petition with the United Statse Army team will keep the sporting element | on its mettle and between times the | visitors will be variously entertained and dined and wined. Somehow, Chile has borne away the palm for lively social excitement this Fall. The wedding of the counselor, | Senor Cohen, to charming Senorita Chita Arguello, foreseen by only their most intimate friends, brought the climax to a brief and ardent court- ship and gave to Washington society another gifted young matron in the diplomatic corps. There are other romances brewing.in the corps and Dan Cupid seems to be rampant both in Washington and other cities. No wedding out of town in a long time has caused more interest socially in Washington than that yesterday at Englewood, N. J., of Miss Barbara Tahde Talbot and Mr. Albert Lincoln ‘Washburn. A number of the friends of the late Albert Washburn, father of the bridegroom, went to the Jersey resort for the event, and while the bridegroom is not personally so well known to society here, his father will long be remembered. Small, dapper and highly intelligent, Peter Wash- burn was one of the best horsemen about Berryville and adjacent sports- loving centers, where he spent part of the Summer season while in the State Department. It was while he served as Minister to Austria—he died in Vienna, April 3, 1930—that he was given his appointment as Ambassador to Japan, a post he never reached. President Hoover made the appoint- ment in recognition of Mr. Washburn’s faithful service over many years. Rumor was long rampant on the subject of Senator McAdoo’s romance, but so nicely was it managed that few outside his immediate family were able to name the bride until the news broke near the end of last week. Senator McAdoo is fond of social life, Joves dancing and is a matchless host. His second wife, Eleanor Wilson, was never fond of society, and in late years has turned her mind to far more se- rious things, and now the hostesses of the Capital are wondering what to ex- pect of the new,Mrs. McAdoo. That the Senator and his bride will return long enough before the opening of | Congress for her to make her official | calls on official wives is not doubted. Quite a task that, calling on all the American Gfbups Here Join In Celebrating —Underwood & Underwood Photo. & ce Holidays Reception on Wednes- liant Event With Sev- | Senator's wives and then she will en- tertain—another occasion to whet the curiosity of the waiting public. | Already Mrs. Roosevelt is laying her | lines for the usual series of White | House entertainments and is preparing | the list of aides, confined to only a military and naval aide to the Presi- | dent until the late President Theodore Roosevelt raised the number to 15 or | 16. all sing’e men and many of them | sons of illustrious soldiers like Grant | and Lee. Chang’s in the three branches of service preclude a very faithful an- | nouncement until later in the season when the military quota will be com- | plete as is now that of the Navy and Marine Corps, or nearly so. Cabinet Represented At Nicaraguan Tea| The Nicaraguan Legation was the scene of a charmingly arranged recep- tion yesterday afternoon when the charge d'affaires and Senora de De Bayle entertained in honor of the chief justice of the Supreme Court of their country, Dr. Frederico Sacasa, who is their house guest. The legation was effectively deco- rated with palms and ferns, with clusters of Autumn flowers in bright | hues forming the centerpiece on the | candle-lighted table and arranged in the various vases about the legation. There were about 300 guests from official, diplomatic and residential so- ciety at the function.
