THURSDAY, JULY 7, i960
French Embassy in Washington
Will Be Opened to U PI Editors
Washington - IUPD - Popular
French Ambassador and Ma
dame Horve Alpliand Thurs
day invited wives of delegates
attending the conference of
United Press International
editors and publishers to tour
the palatial French Embassy
during the two-day meeting in
early September.
The Alphands, one of the
most glamorous diplomatic
couples in the nation's capital,
have set aside 3:30 p.m. Sept.
9 for a reception and tour of
the embassy.
The greyslone mansion on
Kalorama rd. is one of the
landmarks of embassy row,
Its fabulous furnishings, mag
nificient chandeliers, aubus
son carpets and paintings, by
the masters, all have been im
ported from France.
Built in 1910
The Imposing mansion was
built in 1910 as the home of
the late John Hays Hammond,
the mining engineer who
made millions with the dia
mond syndicate of South Africa.
It was purchased by the
French government In 1936
and it has been refurnished
several times by each new
embassy chatelaine. The em
bassy got its latest face-lifting
last April in preparation of
President de Gaulle's visit to
Washington.
Nicole Alphand, a tall hazel
eyed blond beauty who is a
walking model of French chic,
has added her own artistic
touches to the embassy. The
most breath - taking are her
flower arrangements on the
ground floor of the 69-room
structure.
Visitors will be struck by
enormous bouquets of multi
colored garden flowers, many
a deep blue, which fan out
from oversize brandy glass
shaped vases. The trick Is that
while most of the posies are
artificial, though it's impos
sible to tell without touching,
a few also are fresh. The
effect is dazzling.
Overlooks Park -
The embassy has a com
manding view of Rock Creek
Park and Its French doors
open on a lovely terrace over
looking rolling lawns that
look like velvet.
The entrance hall is fur
nished with a red velvet large
Louis XV sofa and six match
ing armchairs. The dining
room Is paneled with green
painted 18 century mythologi
cal scenes of guy gods and
goddesses, It has a largo
round dining table with 40
Louis IV white and gold an
tique chairs upholstered In
light brown velvet. 1
On the walls are still llfes
by Matisse, Bonnard, Vlam
Inck and Lorjou and a sea
picture by Claude Monnet.
On by Candlelight
The main drawing room ts
beautifully appointed with
empire sofas, chairs and
tables. The upholstery is
striped almond green satin
and in addition to tapestries,
the decorations include an
tique candelabra and a marble
mantle.
For smaller receptions and
parlies, the Alphunds use a
more intimate smaller draw
ing room furnished In the
Louis XV period. The marblo
heath is pink and grey. The
blue rug Is Persian,
Dinners at the French Km
bnssy are always by candle
light. The gourmet menus are
prepared In the embassy kit
chen by - of all things - an
Italian chef. The finest of
wines are served. And cham
pagne is a "must" with every
dessert.
The embassy is known for
its sevres porcelain, bneenrot
glass, table linen of white
batiste embroidered with
nosegays of tiny flowers and
celebrated silverware.
