Concern. Lest Friends Think

Longs to Shop for Christmas Gifts Without Breaking Into Newspapers

By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Dec. 11—"0Oh dear,” Margaret Truman sighed, “it would be so nice to be able to walk in some place to buy. your Christmas presents without everyone looking and the newspapers writing About it’ from coast to coast.”

‘The difficulties of Christmas shopping. when you're ‘the Presigis daughter Was Orie 6r yevers- topics that Margatet and-T

the next block. In the course of our conversation, I [dropped a bit of gossip about some mutual acquaintances. “Ooh,” Margaret said, “tell me more.” I went into details, and then Margaret said, “Nobody ever tells me these things. I guess they. think I'm a dead end street, or something." .

Miss Truman Acquires Tan

To Go With White Dress Margaret was still thrilled over her recent trip to New York for the opening of the Metropolitan Opera. “Down at Key West I got the first tan I've ever had in my life,” she explained. “I really worked on it, because I thought, ‘gee, 4 tan will look nice with the white dress I'll be wearing. The tan is fading now, though. “I thought I'd die laughing when 1 saw that Bobby Clark show when I was in New York--you know, ££ ‘As the Girls Go." It's about a woman president, and she has a + son, and she says to him, ‘Go and take your singing .lesson.'” Margaret said she couldn't do much about her own singing

uary, but, “After the inaugural, everything is singing.” Incidentally, she denied New York gossip that her opening concert would be with the Philadelphia La Scala Opera Company. “It’s absolutely untrue,” shé said.

~~ Mme. Chiang's Schedule Seems Jo Be a Secret to Everyone

Margaret has been Yoryons a few luncheons and small parties, and occasionally double-dating with Drucie Snyder, the * daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury. The girls frequently trade escorts, and they're both named Marvin—Marvin Braverii man-and -Marvin-Coles, young -W -lawyers: This week, 1 : Margaret has Miss Jeanne Rogers, an old friend from Independence, Mo., as her house guest. “Are you going to see Mme. Chiang?" 1 asked, “All I know about that is what I read in the newspapers,” Margaret replied. I called the Chinese Embassy after my talk with Margaret to see what went with Mme. Chiang, and it seemed that the Em-.-bassy was as much in the dark as anyoye The.attache with whom. 1 talked sounded a bit like a sinister, oriental laughing boy. He .. explained that, in contrast to the Missimo’'s previous visits, no . social events had been scheduled for her, and while it was generally assumed that she'd stay here about two weeks, it all depends upon developments. “Well, who would know more about her plans?” I asked. ; “Huh-huh-huh-huh,” the attache giggled. "I guess she does.” With that, I figured I might as well give up. (Later it was announced that Mme. Chiang would be the President's guest at a tea held yesterday.)

Cuban President Has Busy ‘Week of Social Gatheri

There's been a great dea ng social ‘to-do this week over the President of Cuba, Dr. Carlos Prio. He had dinner with the Trumans, spent one night at Blair House, dinner next evening at the Pan-American Union, luncheon the following day at the ' National Press Club, and finally, last evening, a big Yecsption at the Cuban Embassy. Washington soclety was on tenterhooks for quite a while on the question of whether Senora De Belt, the wife of the Cuban Ambassador to Washington, would get back here in time to greet the President upon his arrival here Wednesday. Her husband had flown the Atlantic—they'd been to Paris—in order to make it, but Senora De Belt, her five children and an assortment “of nurses had been marooned aboard the Queen Elizabeth when -- «the dock strike delayed the ship's sailing. She made it, though, and her friends all sighed with relief. Thurman Arnold, once the Justice Department's No. 1 trust buster and now a judge of the U. 8. Circuit Court of Appeals, has an office in a swanky new office building here and the walls are lined with photographs of Washington hotables. A recent visitor to his office noticed that, amogg others, there was a large photograph of Henry Wallace. ever, he discovered a label had been pasted to the bottom of the Wallace picture. — “For historical purposes onl only," it it sald.
