In the Diplomatic Circle Newcomers Add Interest To Capital Social Scene By Katharine M. Brooks The social scene in Washington will have added interest with the numbers of new diplomats and their families who are arriving in this country almost daily. The Czechoslovakian Ambassador, Dr. Jan Slavik, is expected back from Paris some time this week. Mme.

Slavik arrived from France last week accompanied by their son Juraj, now in his middle teens. Following precedents established by their predecessors from Czechoslovakia they will make many friends in the Capital for themselves and for their country. Mme. Slavik and her son spent several years in this country following the invasion of Czechoslovakia so that the language and customs in Washington will not be unfamiliar to them. The new hostess at the Embassy, like Mm.

Hurban, wife of the former Ambassador, is a lover of the arts, especially music. The first entertainment to be given by the Ambassador and Mme. Slavik will be the reception Monday. October 28, to eelebrate the anniversary of their independence. Another new hostess In the Embassy group is Dr.

Mira Trbojevich, who has joined her cousin the Yugoslavian Ambassador, Sava N. Kosanovich. Dr. Trbojevich is an outstanding pediatrician in her homeland and her stay in the Capital will be something of a rest from her work among the children. However, she will study methods in this country.

Romania rapidly is acquiring a full staff for its Legation and several newlv-appointed members are arriving in New York today. The ship has as passengers the wives of two of the staff already in Washington, the First Secretary, M. Mirca Metes and the Press Counselor, M. Alfonse Vogel. The latter is in New York to meet Mme.

Vogel and aboard. Coming to Washington are three new diplomats, the Counselor M. Lazareanu, the Second Secretary, I M. Radu Stoichita and the Cultural Attache, M. Ramus Lule and their wives.

Also a passenger on the steamer is M. Georges Enesco, famous orchestra conductor who again will conduct orchestral con- certs in this country through the winter. Mme. Ralea, wife of the Minister, will come to Washington in the early winter, arriving before Christmas. She will be accompanied by their daughter, Ecatarine, who will resume her studies in this The Finnish Minister, Dr.

K. T. Jutila, also is in New York, where he went to meet Mme. Jutila and i two of their children. They are expected to arrive today and will accompany the Minister back to Washington later in the week.

With Mme. Jutila are the younger daugh-j ter, Vappa, just in her middle' teens, and the older son of the family, M. Sakari Jutila, who will; enter college in this country. Mme. Horelli, wife of M.

Maija- leena Horelli of Finland, older; daughter of the Minister and Jutila, has been with her father I here for several weeks. She came MISS WILLIAMOWSKY. The engagement of their daughter, Miss Frances Sterele Williamowsky, to Mr. Herbert Arnold Himelfarb, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Nathan Himelfarb of this city, is announced by Rabbi and Mrs. Chaim Williamowsky of Washington. No date has been set for the wedding. Photo. with her brother, young Agekke, who has entered a business school.

He plans to complete a business course before entering a school for agricultural economics with a view to returning to his homeland for scientific farming. Mme. Horelli will stay here for several months before joining M. Horelli, now at work on their farm in Finland, where he went as soon as he was relieved of active duty in the army. Small and very Informal were the several parties which the Panamanian Ambassador and Senora de Vallarino gave for the Minister of Public Works of Panama, Senor Arisdides Romero and Senora de Romero.

They came here that the Minister might look over the possibility of building the new embassy. The present house at 2601 29th street was purchased in an emergency when the embassy at 1535 New Hampshire avenue sold. The Government had purchased ground on Massachusetts avenue just at the beginning of the war and building materials and labor became too scarce to even start the new embassy. The old embassy fronting on New Hampshire avenue with a rear entrance on 18th street and the side on street, was the former home of the late Rear Admiral and Mrs. Richardson Clover.

In the days when Dupont Circle and Connecticut avenue were only residential streets, the house was the scene of much entertaining. Here both Miss Eudora Clover, recently returned to Washington to live, and her sister, Beatrice, now Mrs. Thomas Holcomb, reigned as belles during their girlhood years. The Panamanian Government purchased the house on New Hampshire avenue, when Dr. Ricardo J.

Alfaro, now Minister of Foreign Affaires, was Minister in this Capital. That was back in the middle and he resigned his post here when he became a candidate for President, The ground which has been owned for some years by the Panama Government adjoins the British Embassy on Massachusetts avenue but does not extend as far west as Observatory Circle. Plans for the chancery and living quarters of the Ambassador and his family not been completed and there are many details yet to be arranged such as a permit to build, priorities building materials, not to mention the builders themselves. The plans probably will be completed before the Minister of Public Works and Senora de Rpmero leave Washington. Harpers Ferry Scene of Wedding Miss Mary Joan Hodges of Shepherdstown, W.

Reports from Quaker distribution centers overseas tell of an acute shortage of both clothing and of shoes for women and children. Shoes are so scarce, these reports say, that families with several children select a pair large enough for the eldest then hand it down day by day so that each child may go to school occasionally. According to estimates, the Washington workroom has shipped 18 tons of clothing in the last 12 months, supplying approximately 13,500 persons with five garments each. Any second-hand clothing is gladly received by the women at the workroom but as it necessitates repairing and cleaning in addition, many more volunteer workers are needed for this work.

The workroom is open from 10 a.m. to 4 pm. every weekday except Saturday and every Wednesday evening from 7 to 10 o'clock. While many volunteers give an entire day at a time to the work, carrying their luncheons with them, others give but an hour or two a day. These hours are of great value and last year the hours given by volunteers amounted to three full-time workers.

Mrs. Harold B. Stabler is chairman at the workroom and will gladly welcome any one who wishes to give a few spare hours. Additional olothing, specially garments for men, will be put to good use by the workers. For further information, call Decatur 5722.
