Both Fru Wennerberg and the new member of the “House of Wennerberg” will be “receiving” soon. The first born, little Breghetta, age 19 months, is also an | American by birth, visiting Sweden for the first time this Spring when her parents sail early in May on leave. To date no name has been chosen for little sister, who gives promise of being like her mother, a lovely brunette. However, we understand that little Breghetta started life as a brunette, but being a wise little baby and perhaps having heard that “gentlemen prefer blonds,” Fru Wennerberg’s first daughter, like her father, is now a blond. * % ¥ ¥ WILL RYAN is back from his annual visit to Haiti with Mr. and Mrs. Bert Elbrick, attached to our Legation at Port au Prince. Having planned to stay a month, he returns after seven weeks spent in this (from all accounts) paradise, full of exciting adven- tures such as mountain climbing, wading through streams, ducking waterfalls, etc. A most exotic farewell party was staged by several Haitian plantation owners, who gave a genuine “Bambosch” in his honor. A bambosch is an endless religious ceremony, in which the natives for miles around participate. The constant boom-boom of the ceremonial drums assemble the partici- pants who dance, sing and form weird cabalistical rites, all ancient forms of voodooism. Famous for his own parties, Will Ryan entertained at a huge dinner dance before leaving, at which all the ladies received bottles of perfume and artistic figures carved from “lignum vitae.” Among the many trips upon which the Elbricks took Will was to the far Island of La Gonave, where a Pullman porter once reigned as King. An incident occurred involving different types of goats and from what we gather the Island of Haiti, unto the third generation, will bless the name of Ryan for improving their blooded stock by importing rare goats from distant La Gonave! * ¥ % % ALL those invited to Woody Wallner and Richard Gatewood's party at the Hay Adams House yesterday were mystified to see a large sign in the lobby which read “State Department, room 244.” We weren't sure what to expect—perhaps, even the chief of protocol in person? Upon entering the richly hung interior of the bridal suite (which our two affable aforementioned hosts had rented for the occasion), we discovered that practically all those ;prlesent were from the State Department, as are our hosts them- | selves. Cornelia Basel, in a black and white flowered print, looked | most at home, as did Jock Bailey, who leaves shortly r%r a month’s | yacation in Florida “to rest and bake.” Mr. and Mrs. Edward | Trueblood, Mrs. Trueblood formerly Elisabeth Mitchel, were there | talking with Olivia Stokes and Victor Sutro. The latter, as usual, pausing temporarily in the “city of the trees” prior to a flying trip to New York. Barbara Wright, in a mannish tailleur, sat on | the floor beside Elsie Ekengren, whose large-brim straw was a | feminine forecast of Summer; nearby, Fred Nickols and Mannix | Walker reclined comfortably. Amidst delectable hors d’ouvres and | refreshing cocktails we passed the time of day. A large number of enthusiasts for the local orchestra formed the audience and enthusiastically applauded each | number. Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. | Tuckerman, who have been in Florida for a few weeks entertained guests in their box and among others at the concert were Miss Mabel Boardman, Miss Eleanor Patterson and her niece, Miss Harriet Winslow; Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Droop, Mrs. Edward Potter, Mrs. M. J. Whittall, Mr. Frederic A. Delano, the | economic advisor to the Secureties Ex- change Commission, Mr. Kemper Simpson: Mrs. Oliver Owen Kuhn, Mrs. M.
