Gen: Escudero Is Honored At Embassy Reception

Ambassador and Senora de Michels Give an Early Evening Party

By Katharine Brooks. Gen. Oscar Escudero, chief of the Chilean Army, who came to this

•ountry to discuss lease-lend from this Government to Chile, the newest member of the United Nations in South America, was honor guest at an

early evening party which the Chilean Ambassador and Senora de Michels gave yesterday. Although the festivity was informal, in keeping with wartimes, Senora de Michels received her guests in the drawing room and had with her Gen. Escudero. The Ambassador did not stand with them, but was seldom far away, usually the center of an animated group of guests. Military uniforms predominated among the masculine guests, for not only a large number of officers of the United States forces, but military attaches of Latin American Embassies and Legations, as well as members of the Inter-American Defense Board, were invited. In addition, heads of diplomatic missions at this Capital were included in the company.

Shortly before 6 o’clock Gen. Escudero presented Chilean honors to several officers of, the United States Army, which he had been commissioned to present before leav- tng Santiago. To the deputy chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Joseph T. Mc- Naraey, and Lt. Col. Theodore Bab- bitt of Military Intelligence were

awarded the medal of A1 Merito, and Lt. Col. O’Neil K. Kane, who is military aide to Gen. Escudero dur- ing his stay in this country, re-

ceived El Estrella de Plata, which is the Silver Star of Military Merit.

Delicate pink gladioluses were in vases on the mantel, the tables, and the piano in the drawing room, making an effective contrast to the delicate blue brocade of the walls and the draperies and id the hand- somely paneled dining room, where the tea table was laid, red and white carnations and gladioluses were on buffets and in the center of the dining table. The refresh- ments were in keeping with current rationing, dainty sandwiches and cakes being served with a wide Variety of liquid refreshment.

Senora de Michels wore a very becoming gown, the long, full skirt of black chiffon and the bodice of white, over which she wore a hip- length fitted jacket with long, tight sleeves of white chiffon, which was

encrusted with tiny crystals. Seno- rita Christine Michels, daughter of the hosts, who assisted, was dressed in a red crepe frock made with long, full skirt and fitted bodice, which was built high in the back and had short sleeves. In her hair she wore

a gardenia like the one her mother wore on her soulder.

Members of the Embassy staff end their wives also assisted, and although the party was set from 6 to 8 o'clock, guests lingered well after the appointed hour to enjoy the hospitality of the Ambassador and Senora de Michels, who are among the very popular diplomats in this Capital.

Several Parties On Calendar for Social Circles

Various circles of society have busy schedules these days, and yes- terday in addition to the party at the Chilean Embassy there was a

tertaining a group of her husbaand's colleagues and their wives, as well as personal friends in other circles of Washington society.
