asy * After Holiday, Inaugural Ado

Confidence on Capitol Hill Contrasts

With Tentative Atmosphere Elsewhere ]

By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON; Feb. 5—The capital is in a sort of

wistful, queasy, infermittent February mood, with things

holidays and the inaugural. Mrs. Perle Mesta, our No. 1 hostpss, having dusted off the Inaugural ball satisfactorily, Is letting us get along without her sérvices for a few days. She's been up north in New York City visiting Gen. and Mrs, Dwight D. Eisenhower. The atmosphere is rather curious here, fairly brisk and confident on Capitol Hill, but a little tentative elsewhere. Senate Secretary Les Biffle is leaving parties much earlier than he usually does, and the Secretary of Agriculture, Charles Brannan, is upsel. because one of the political columnists said something nice about him. Secretary Brannan says, in view of the election, that that's the kiss of death, and he wants none of it. Margaret Truman has been vegetating as much as possible after her inaugural ordeal. Her favorite music when she does go out is the “Kiss Me, Kate” score--especially the “Bianca” number, .. One of her escorts, Marvin | . Braverman (he’s the Marvin wii looks a little like a “con” man, opposed to another one of Mr escorts, Marvin Coles, who looks very smooth) has adopted a policy of refusing to dance when he goes out for a gay evening, because of ‘all the attention he's been getting as the man-who-foxtrots-with-the-President's-daughter, Powers models don’t have anything on our illustrious Cabinet wives, who are spending their free time this week improving their carriage and learning to swivel on a runway—all in preparation for a spectacular and political sort of fashion show next week. The girls, wearing their own gowns and jewels, are going to model furs at a Valentine Ball, to be given in honeér of the President and his family by the American Newspaper Women's Club,

Incoming and Outgoing VIP's Usually Balance Out Neatly

The club picked out some of the best-looking official wives for this performance--the Attorney General's wife, Mary Clark, who is small and rather doll-like; tall, dark-haired Mrs. Clinton P. Anderson, wife of the new Senator from New Mexico and former Secretary of Agriculture; Mrs. John Steelman, the serene | and cool blond wife of the special assistant to the President; Mrs. Harold Burton, the white-haired, distinguished wife of the Supreme Court Justice; Mrs. Kenneth Royall, the pretty, peaches- |

. Evening Buffets Gradually Replacing Cocktail Parties |

This ‘week, though, more dignitaries are going than coming. | The parties in honor of the beloved Belts of Cuba are continuing. There seems to be some dispute as to what (he. retiring Cuban Ambassador, Guillermo Belt, will do when he leaves Washington —go to London, or go into private law practice in his native land. - But at this point it doesn’t appear that the poor man will be competent to do anything except retire into the Cuban brush ‘and weave baskets. There have been from two to three or more parties every day for these poor folk. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe ig being thundered off to Tokyo, his | new post, in a burst of social glory, and the bustling ambassador | from Peron-land, or Argentina as it used to be called, entertained at a buffet supper for his departing military attache and Senora { de Lucero. There has been a gradual but definite revolution in Washington's social life during the past few months. The five-to-seven cocktail party, which camé into its fullest use during the war, is gradually being supplanted by a cocktail buffet, usually starting at six or later and continuing on through the evening. This is a more pleasant entertainment than the old cocktail | party, and it makes more sense, combining the best features of | the cocktail party and a~dinner. The Senate Red Cross unit, without its lovely and popular president, Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg, wife of the elder statesman | from Michigan, started its first weekly luncheon meetings last | week. Mrs. Millard Tydings, wife of the dapper Marylander, presided in Hazel Vandenberg's absence. This group is gay and | gossipy and pretty much non-partisan, but with a certain unmis- | takable undercurrent,
