Wang, wife of the president of the Chinese Bank of New York. Miss Wang, who is the Am- bassador’s eldest daughter and his hostess until the arrival of her mother, wore peach-color lace with a short jacket of black velvet and a shoulder bouquet of orchids. Mrs. Wang had a modified Chinese costume of ice blue satin without trimming or embroidery, and long pendant earrings of moonstones.
