ANY members of official residential and diplomatic circles, who have returned to Washington from their vacations, met yesterday afternoon at the Siamese Legation to help cele- brate the birthday anniversary of his majesty, King Ananda Mahidol of Siam, at a reception given by the Siamese Minister and Mme. Rajamaitri. The hosts received their guests in the drawing room and during the early part of the afternoon had with them their small daugh- ter, Ramadi, who was most beautifully dressed in a little white frock with a red sash, a red ribbon in her hair and red slippers. Mme. Rajamaitri wore a dark blue taffeta tunic dotted with red, and a dark blue skirt. On her shoulder she wore a cluster of rosebuds. The Minister’s son, Tula Rajamaitri, who will be a student at Friends School again this year, was also present. Throughout the rooms were large bouquets of red and salmon color gladioli and dahlia and pink roses. Mrs. William Phillips, wife of the new United States Ambassa- dor to Rome, has closed her Summer estate at Beverly Farms, Mass., and is in New York at the Madison, preparatory to sailing to join the Ambassador and their daughter, Miss Beatrice Phillips, who sailed several weeks ago with her father. The United States Ambassador to Poland, Mr. John Cudahy, was the honor guest at a luncheon given in New York Saturday by Mr. Robert Field. Later in the day the Ambassador sailed for his post at Warsaw. Senator David I. Walsh, who has been at Newport for the late Summer, left there yesterday aboard the Fantasy for a cruise in New England waters. Senator and Mrs. Jesse H.

Y., a part of the world very familiar to Jo, as he was more or less brought up there, and shortly thereafter setting sail for far distant lands—North Africa, to be exact. They have a fascinating trip planned and will undoubtedly have a most interesting time visiting friends in Algiers and other intriguing spots. Later they plan to take a skiing trip in Switzerland, returning to America in February, when Jo wil go into the New York law firm of his father, the late Mr. Joseph P. Cotton, one time Undersecretary of State. Incidentally there is a story told that in the olden days all correspondence from the State Department was signed “Your Obedient Servant” until Mr. Cotton became Undersecretary, turned the place in- #ide out and had the rule changed! Yesterday afternoon a number of the Cottons’ friends dropped in to bid them farewell, among them Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence M. C. Smjth, known better as Sam Smith, who have just moved into the Trubee Davison house on N street in Georgetown; Mr. and Mrs. Gray Foster, the James Bonbrights, Robert Pell, who is now very much occupied with his 13-year-old daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hiss. The Lucius Wilmerdings were there, too, accompanied by Mrs. Wilmerding’s sister, Miss Mather, who is here en visite, also the Chip Bohlens (Avis is even more lovely looking than ever); Philip Broadmead of the British Embassy, who blew in from a day in Middleburg; Bill Brewster and Charles Darlington. As ‘the Cottons move out of 3265 N street the Bernard Harrisons are moving in, and what a change it will be for them after that minute little house they have leased for the past two years! * x k¥ VERY recent epistle from England brings the news that Miss Irene Boyle will not be back for at least another month. This is & great disappoint= ment to her many friends, who had hoped to see her within the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately Miss Boyle has not been very well and is apparently resting up in a nursing home in Londqn. Here is hoping that she will return the picture of health and feeling strong once more—especially after the dreadful time she had last Winter. * % o ¥ ”IISS JOSEPHINE PATTON told an amusing story the other might Apparently in 1870 Cardinal Gibbons attended the Vatican Council Incidentally he was then only 36 years old and the youngest bishop present. A number of years later, at a large dinner here in Washington, Cardinal Gibbons was asked if he really did believe in the infallibility of the Pope.
