THE AMBASSADOR'S WIFE
WHO SAYS
YOU MUST ENJOY PEOPLE
By PUDEDE YOURS
London.
THIS year every hostess plans to entertain. This year the season must sparkle with dinner parties, garden parties, and dances. This year the best alone will do. The gold plate is out, the Fath tiress is worn, and the diamonds are released from the bank.
Hostesses have never been so busy. Society has never, been so social. And the Diplomatic Corps has never taken its entertaining so seriously.
Prettiest and most practised party-giver in any embassy la Senora Mendoza
Cuban y de la Torre, wife of the Ambassador,
Her entertaining, though Intense, is Umited by the size of her house in Hyde Park Gute. It is large for a private house ( is rented from Sir Winston Churchill, who does not require it while he is at No. 10) but small for an em→ bassy....

Churchill pictures look down
In Sir Winston's dining-room hang pictures of the Duke of Mariborough and the Battle of Blenhelm. The Jurnishings are in deep green.
But what makes it a dining-room to remember and one dear to the hearts of the better-dressed diplomats wives, is that it is on two levels, with a staircase down to the table. And there is nothing like a sweep of stairs to show off a swirl of skirt.
Senora Mendoza wears her Balmain and Fath dresses for these occasions. She likes to eat at eight unless it is an Informal party of fewer than a dozen-If so, she likes to go to the theatre and bring her friends back for a late meal. "I think you have to enjoy people to enjoy entertain- ing," she said. "I'm looking forward to this year's season very much. And she smiled serenely.
