Hoosier Hospitality—It's At Home Abroad

¢ By MILDRED KOSCHMANN IF matic circles haven't heard about Hoosier hospitality, they'll soon know what it is. Becausé : two Indiana women, though they may be more than 1500 miles apart, probably will see to it that Paris and Moscow

learn its meaning. Mrs. Jefferson Caffery, who still calls Evansville her home, already is busy in the United States embassy in the French capital. She's the wife of dur ambassador to France, ) And before long, the second Hoosier, Mrs. Walter Bedell Smith, will take her place at the other end of Europe. She'll aecompany her husband, Lt. Gen. Smith, to Moscow where he will serve as ambassador to Russia, About 30 years ago “Beedle” Smith's wife never dreamed of being an ‘ambassador's wife — much less the wife of the only American general who signed the peace terms when the Germans surrendered last May. ” un ” SHE WAS Mary Eleanor Cline then. And the old Cline homestead at 2002 Broadway was the favorite hangout for all the kids in the neighborhood. Mr, and Mrs. Benjamin F., Cline, Mrs.

world war II), Vernon A. Trask, Carl Bauer and, of course, “Beedle” Smith. Eleanor Cline. was: about the closest thing to a tomboy that could be found. She always played ball with the boys. And when the gang used to go canoeing up White river, she could shoot turtles off the rocks with a..22 rifle as well. as anyone. She, a former St. Agnes academy student, and Gen. Smith, a Manual high school alumnus, were ‘married July 1, 1817, while the general was in officers’ training at Ft, Harrison. But their marriage didn't change the gang one hit. Athletic-minded, Mrs. Smith still hiked, rode horses and improved her already fine marksmanship. In the early twenties she rode in several army horsé shows and has medals to prove her skill.

” o BUT NONE of her Tedals or the general's continual promotions changed her modesty, When she came back to Indianapolis last June, she still was a firm believer in keeping out of the limelight.

In September, 1918, Gen. Smith received his second lieutenant’s bars and from then on Mrs. Smith became the wife of a regular army officer. She stayed at home for a while but later on began to travel from army post to army post with her husband. In 1929 she went to the Philippines, the first: time she had set foot on foreign soil. She came back in 1931 and since then has lived in cities throughout the United States. Right now her home is in Washington, where she and her mother stayed while the

general was overseas.

She wasn't idle during the war, however. 8he spent many hours at the Walter Reed hospital in Washington, just as another Mrs. Smith and not as the wife of a

lieutenant gemeral. * Her favorite”

pastime was joking with other soldiers by the name of Smith. » ~ »

WHEN MRS. SMITH goes to Moscow, she won't be the first member of the Cline fgmily to set foot on Russian soil. Her sister, Gladys, spent some time in Norway and 8weden and then went to Russia during the first world war as a representative of the Y.M.C. A. Going to France and mingling with the foreign socialites was nothing new for Mrs. Caffery.

fery spent the most time in Hoosierland. That was when she attended St. Mary's academy at Holy Cross where she is now considered one of the school's most distinguished ‘alumnae. Not until Nov. 20, 1937, did she become the wife of Jefferson Caffery, then considered the “most sought-after” bachelor in the United States diplomatic service. She was married to the then American ambassador to Brazil in the St. Joachim Chapel of His Eminence in Rio de Janeiro. At the time her marriage was announced she was to have been decorated by the French govern-‘ ment with the medal of Officier d’Academije. The Palmes Academiques ‘decoration was another bridal gift sent to the American embassy in Rio. » o o

AMBASSADOR CAFFERY went to France in October, 1944, and Mrs. Caffery joined him there in "March, 1945, after closing the embassy in Brazil. She came back to the Middle West last year before going abroad. Her brother, Daniel PF. McCarthy, lives in Evansville and her cousin, Mrs. Anton Hulman, makes her home in Terre Haute. Right now life in France is an extremely busy one for Mrs. Caffery. But it's a most interesting one, too. For everyone it seems, no matter where he is going, eventually passes throligh Paris,
