Mrs. ad to Entertain the Vinsons And Barkley as She Gets Back in Swing
By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—The Democrats are finally © emerging from their post-inaugural stupefaction, having endured probably the longest “hangover” in Washington social history. The Tr oaged after-effects of inaugural week were not neces-
from a surfeit of entertaining. Now we're getting back into the swing. Both Mrs. Truman and Mrs. Perle Mesta gave their frst parties since the inaugural this week, Mrs, Truman entertained a batch of official ladies at lunch in the Blair House. Mrs. Mesta, the »rominent hostess who was co-chairman of the inaugural ball, had a dinner party in honor of Gen. and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Gen. Eisenhower’s return to temporary duty in the capital provides us with an entirely unnecessary social stimulant. Mrs. Mesta's party gave official Washington its first glimpse of her new house here — a treat which will be forthcoming more and more frequently now that Mrs, Mesta is back in full-time social production again. She is entértaining later this month in honor of Chief Justice and Mrs. Fred Vinson, and Vice President Alben W. Barkley. Culture Crops Out Everywhere As Big Shots Pose for Portraits : The President and Mrs. Truman showed up at a 8t. Valentine’s Day Ball in the Statler, to watch the Cabinet and other official wives pivot and swivel in a fur fashion show. The American Newspaper Women's Club staged this one, and the prizes were rather staggering—10 yards of red satin for a ball gown, a white mink ascot, a large case of frozen foods, a gold pin and matching earrings, a course of dance lessons, original hats, silver sugar tongs, certificates for portraits, white satin embroidered evening slippers, a course of health and beauty treatments, perfume, flowers, a box of tea dainties, candy, a chest of cigarets, a basket of fruit and champagne. Proving that even culture has to be political in Washington, an exhibit of politicians’ portraits is currently breaking all records at the Corcoran Art Gallery here, by Greta Kempton, Miss Kempton, who is married to a New York businessman, A. H. McNamara, first caught on here with Drucie Snyder, the daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury. 8he painted the Snyder family, then the Trumans. )
Painter Favors Miss Truman, Who Helps Keep Brushes Clean
Her favorite subjects were Drucie and ‘Margaret Truman, “who came in and entertained each other, and washed paint brushes, while they sat for their respective portraits. Miss Kempton wears a “nice, black dress” when she paints—no sleazy, arty smock in her approach. She wore a hat when she painted the President, and she is one of the few women who have ever intimidated the Secret Service, When she was getting ready to paint: the President, Miss Kempton thought thé Secret Service man with him was some unnecessary character; so she said, curtly, “Thank you-—I think I have everything.” The boss man, amused, gave him the iiod, and the Se Service man stepped outside for the sitting. There was a sad little scene in the Blue Room of the Shoreham Hotel several evenings ago. ‘An attache of the Czechoslovakian eibasy, site quietly by hiniself, summoned Barnee * Breeskin, who the orchestra. ~~ “For. the ast H time,” sald the attiche, “please play the Beer Polka.” The attache explained that he was being recalled # to his homeland, and this was his last night out in Washington. Barnee, whosg mission in life is knowing the favorite songs of every Congressman and Cabinet member and ambassador, promptly obliged, and the audience took up the chorus in a fine, rollicking, if slightly off-key fashion. The Conch, however, wept quietly into his highball. EE Barnee stepped down from the bandstand . to find out what . was wrong. “Why are you crying?” he asked. ’S_ “That tune,” the Czech explained, “is from an old Czech song. which, is all about unrequited love, hate, jealousy —all the fundamental emotions. I don’t ‘understand you Americans. You're so. frivolous.”
