“Capital Capers— : 2 : | Capital Bands Like to Ride Uncle Sam’s Top Tax Man | When He Enters a Hot Spot
Crowds Get Big Kick on Hearing, | “All of Me—Why Not Take All of Me?’
By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Mar. 19—If you haven't yet recov- | ered from paying your income tax, you will be happy to -| know that the No. 1 income tax collector, white-haired, fatherly-looking Commissioner of Internal Revenue George J. Schoeneman, has been deviled a bit lately himself. . . Every time Mr. Schoeneman has appeared in a night spot here recently, the band has struck up a lugubrious chorus of “All of Me—Why Not Take All of Me?” This has always brought down the house, in a macabre sort of way. . : . One 6f Margaret Truman's favorite Washington dates has started squiring a new girl friend since Margaret went to New York to give full time to her singing-—and the new girl is a Republican! Marvin Coles, the"! young Washington lawyer who frequently took Margaret dancing “is now gadding about with Beverly Farrington, daughter of the Delegate from Hawaii and Mrs. Farrington. Mr. and Mrs. Farrington are prominent Republicans, Mrs. Farrington being particularly active in the District of Columbia League of Republican Women. Miss Farrington is something of an authority on the hula. Movie Mogul Eric A. Johnston and Mrs. Johnston led the guests in the Virginia Reel and all the guests played something called the Croonola at the latest in Mrs. Perle Mesta's series of | dinner parties the other evening. This one was in honor of the | Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. John W. Snyder Hildegarde, the chantootsie, was among the guests, but didn’t have to sing for her supper, unless you could describe as singing what all 32 of the dinner guests plus the crowd who showed up after dinner, went ‘hrough wiih the croonolas F The croonola is a small, blue, plastic thing which looks like a miniature hot water bottle, and everyone present got one when the-man-with-the.accordion showed up. The idea was to sing and/or hum into this gadget, and what came out was supposed to be good. Tt wasn't, but it gli made quite a large noise.. Something like this always seems to happen when Washington's prominent get together.
Mrs. Mesta Buys New Home
In Washington to Entertain THE SNYDERS are not made for games, so Mrs. Mesta didn’t go into the bridge, canasta, mah-jongg routine that she always has | for the Eisenhowers and other people who like such things. i Just Croonolas, Virginia reels and what passes in most of social Washington for conversation, plus cocktails before-dinner, | sherry and imported champagne with the chicken, raspberry ice | and cookies for dessert, and, during the evening, drinks, followed | late by sandwiches and hard-boiled eggs i No diplomats were present; it was just a Mesta sort of atmosphere and.ghe last guests left before 2a m | Mrs. Mesta, the number one hostess of the Truman adminis- | tration, appears to be rising above the job done on her by a week- | ly newsmagazine. At the dinner she wore a gray lace and satin gown, diamond clips and earrings, and six strings of pearls. She was exceedingly cheerful, and she and the Snyders seemed | to be laughing themselves sick over life in general. Mrs. Mesta has | finally bought a house here in Washington, and plans to stay at | Uplands, where she is now, only for another month or so. Another Washington hostess, a bird-brained, get-social-quick creature who makes Mrs. Mesta look like both a giant intellect | and the dowager Queen of England by comparison, was having | Junch in the Mayflower Hotel lounge the other day, at a table which has been named the Snake Pit hecause of the shattered, | souls who sit there and poison each other's martinis. f The hostess had with her a woman who is known to have been - a Nazi collaborationist, who once said that the happiest day of her life was the day she gave up her American passport. She somehow has her passport back, and she is now visiting in Wash- | ington. When told of hér lunch guest's background, the hostess sighed and sald wearily, “But she's so charming . . . How do you draw the fine when they're charming?” Despite all the attention to Mrs. Mesta, other women go on entertaining here, Mrs. Katharine St. George, the Representative from Tuxedo Park, N. Y., who gives what are described as the most amusing. parties of any Congresswoman, entertained at the fashionable F Street Club in honor of her daughter, Mrs. Allen Ryan Jr. who has the ghastly nickname of Prune. Mrs. Robert Low Bacon, the prominent Republican hostess, had a party for people interested in China, or what's left of it,

A LMOST TOO PRETTY to hide beneath a jacket are the blouses that will be worn with Easter suits. And the prettiest of them all are those into whose making went fine needlework. Shown are two new spring blouses by Yolande, famous “for handmades. (Both may be found at Wasson’s.) Cutwork, in which a pattern is embroidered in a buttonhole stitch and then a part of the fabric is cut away, is older in history than lace, From this form of embroidery, lacemaking developed about. the 12th century. A modern example of this old, old art forms the deep double yoke design and the edge of the pretty tab collar on the blouse at the right: Made of white Burmil Sanchu crepe, the blouse is perfect for wear with either suits or dressy skirts. Yolande snaps in soft shoulder pads for convenience, FE | » ¥ ¥ x SEVERAL KINDS of hand embroidery are used in the appliqued blouse below. There are two kinds of applique—the “onlaid” in which _cutsaut designs of satin are applied by means of delicate embroidery, and the “inlaid” where the fabric is cut away and lace is set in and embroidered in place. Smockingat ‘ the shoulders serves a dual purpose-—as embellishment and as a means of attaining good fit at the shoulder line. The round neck and short, slightly puffed sleeves are ruffled with narrow bands of Valenciennes lage. This blouse, too, is in white (Skin- | ner’'s silk crepe) and has snap-in shoulder pads.

SUNDAY, MAR. 20, 1949 Times Woman's Editor Tells [Entrants in Sewing Contest How National Judging Works
".. Committee of Fashion Experts Uses Thorough and Impersonal Procedure By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor Everyone who gets a garment into The Times’ $1460 National Sewing Contest is more than a little interested
in learning just how the national judging works. This matter of judging is a very thorough and impersonal procedure. The judging committee is made up of men and women who know clothes, both from the fashion perspective and from the construction basis. Every garment shown to the judges is identi fied only by code number, so that the eight entries which come through with a National First Prize, do so on points alone. The judging points, which are listed on the contest entry blanks, include workmanship, style, attractiveness, neatness and suitability of style and fabric used. Attractiveness is an important factor. With hundreds and hundreds of garments under consideration, an entry must have an- attractiveness that strikes the eyes. Workmanship scores heavily with the judges, but at- ~~ SS — trrctineness Sage them in| Will help you to produce a finer much the same way that even | entry for the contest. !

But they are critical of each sign that tells them a garment has not been pressed sufficient ly in the process of making it. Puckers, misalignment, bulkiness are all giveaways. And speaking of pressing— a good, allover job should be done beforé a“garment is sent in to our local judging. In the case of a coat, or a wool suit which it is impossible to steam press at home, hand it over to the tailor for this.
