A royal welcome awaits Mrs. Welch, for she has a host of friends here and it is years since she has been in Washington. What memories Rhoda’s visit will conjure up of days when Mariana and Rhoda’s father, Admiral William Fullam, was superintendent of the Naval Academy and his two lovely daughters were the toasts of the Navy! Their mother, Mrs. Fullam, was so ?entle and gracious, her memory will always live on—especially in the hearts of a great many important naval officers—who were at that time homesick little midshipmen! Rhoda made her debut here in Washington and later at New- port. When Admiral Fullam became commander of the Pacific Fleet, Mariana and Rhoda had the most glorious time from Coro- nado to San Francisco. Later Rhoda married good-looking Ray- mond Welch and they built a lovely house in Burlingame, which is the mecca for most smart visitors to California. Raymond's untimely death, four years ago of pneumonia, was mourned by all who knew him. Mariana Sands, Washington representative for the New York World’s Fair of 1939, has returned but recently from Puerto Rico, where she visited the popular Governor, Blanton Winship. There were several other guests of different na- tionalities at the Palace, and Mariana said the Governor was the most perfect host—every detail was well thought out and planned to make their visit enjoyable. Many parties have been arranged for the visitor in question, s0 it will be like a second debut in Washington for Rhoda Fullam Welch, who will remain here for a week. * X X % ND speaking of the New York World's Fair, we were in- formed yesterday that Mrs. J. Blaise de Sibour is now working for that great enterprise. Just recently she was a%}oiuted assistant to Mrs. Emory Sands—so-0-0-0, her official title must read something like this—Assistant to the Washington Representative of the New York World’s Fair of 1939 Incorporated! That is certainly a mouthful, but it does not alter the fact that it is a very fine job, and knowing Betsy Mary de Sibour, we feel quite sure that she will make a great success of it. * % Xk ¥ T CAROLINE CHANTRY'S party the other afternoon, we had the pleasure of meeting Miss Helen Czedekowska, whose father, the famous Polish painter, Prof. Czedekowski, has recently com- gleted portraits of the Polish Ambassador, Count Potocki, and alerie Prochnik de Sibour. Helen Czedekowska looked most attractive sitting in the corner of a large sofa literally surrounded by admirers, for not content to be the daughter of a famous man, she is herself quite adept with water colors and charcoal. Tall and blond, Miss Czedekowska is a talented linguist into the bargain. Among the other guests present that afternoon was Jonkheer Franz van Reigersberg Versluys and his dark-eyed Spanish wife, who are here in Washington on a special mission and temporarily | attached to the Netherlands Legation. It was a pleasant gathering and we are glad to have Capt. Chantry and his lovely wife and daughter in our midst again. Prior to a tour of duty in Newport, the Chantrys lived in Wash- ington. It was during Gen. Italo Balbo’s visit here several years ago that Caroline Chantry was chosen “the most beau- tiful girl in America” by the general himself. Miss Chantry, who is tall and dark, is an Italian type. | tained a few guests at luncheon pre- | George H. Milholland of Fort Myer, ceding the drill.
