SOCIETY. Senhorita Guimar Novaes Honored at Reception After Symphony Concert Ambassador and Senhora de Martins Entertain- for Brazilian Pianist; More Than 125 Attend The Brazilian Ambassador and Senhora de Martins gave a delightful reception last evening to honor their countrywoman, Senhorita Guimar Novaes, brilliant and outstanding pianist of the South American re- public. The reception followed the concert of the National Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Hans Kindler conducting, when Senhorita Novaes was the soloist. Many of the guests attended the concert and the honor guest received many compliments on her playing. Senhora de Martins, who was unable to attend the concert, stood to receive her 125 or 150 guests wearing a very becoming and striking floor-length costume. Throughout the reception rooms there were tall vases of stately gladioluses and the center of the dining tsble from which the buffet supper was served was bright with gayly hued blossoms. Senhorita Novaes stood with her hostess for a short time after her arrival from Constitution Hall, where the concert was given, and then held court nearby. The Ambassador walked about through the rooms stopping to chat with various groups of the guests. Peruvian Ambassador and Other Heads of Missions Attend. The dean of the diplomatic corps, the Peruvian Ambassador, Senor Don Manuel de Freyre y Santander, attended the reception, and other heads of missions included the Venezuelan Ambassador and Senora de Escalante, the Panama Ambassador, Senor Don Ernesto Jaen Guardia; the Swedish Minister and Mme.

Last night’s buffet supper at which the Minister and Mme. Loudon introduced Dr. Herbertus van Mook, Lieutenant Governor General of the Netherlands East Indies, to the members of the press, adds another wreath to the laurels the Loudons have won since their arrival in Wash- ington. Informality was the keynote from the telephoned invitation until the last guest bade farewell to his hosts. No formal receiving line was formed. Mme. Loudon wandered among her guests, while the Minister and the guest of honor were to be found deep in conversation in some other part of the room. Mme. Loudon wore a black dinner dress made on simple lines and ornamented with a taffeta bow of aqua and black stripes at the waistline in front, while the Minister chose an informal blue sack suit for the occasion. Dr. van Mook was in dinner jacket and black tie. The guests accepted the message “wear what you wish” at face value, and while black tie predominated among the men there were a number of business suits, and the women's costumes ranged from very formal evening gowns to street-length dresses. Almost every one present was connected with a newspaper in some way, the members of the Legation staff and their wives being the only | exception. These co-hosts were most conscientious in seeing that their guests were well supplied with the delicious supper spread on the long buffet table, and that no one lacked entertainment. Adding color to the party were the uniforms of the officers present, some of them deep black, lightened only by the medals or ribbons on their chests, which were worn by the officers in the Indies Army, the othe? the khaki-color outfits worn by men in the Nether- lands forces fighting with the British.

Miller, B-38 Reich Called *Cancer of Europe’ Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase Hears Dr. Loudon Getting rid of Hitler and other Nazi leaders will not in itself bring about peace, Dr. A. Loudon, the Netherlands Minister, warned yes- terday in an address before the Woman'’s Club of Chevy Chase. g on “The Netherlands in the War,” the Minister denounced the entire German people, whose growth as a nation, he sald, had been based on “aggressions, treachery, falsifications and broken words.” He described Germany as “the cancer of Europe,” and individ- ual German leaders, including Frederick the Great, Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Hitler, as “cells of a cancerous growth” which must be eliminated before peace can come to the world. Americans must be prepared to face sacrifices hitherto unknown, the Minister declared, and must look on the war as a crusade for “free thinking, free speaking, free worshiping and free listening.” “Don’t look back,” he advised. Mrs. E. G. Chamberlain spoke on the work of the Girls’ Club and Mrs. Chase Donaldson announced that a special course in agriculture would soon be offered at the University of Maryland. Mrs. Henry de Courcy Adams, the president, introduced the speakers.
