Washington Society Has Anything You

Want, if You Want It

Diplomatic Circle Is a Constellation Of Overlapping Worlds in Itself : By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Oct. 15—“What Is Washington really like, socially speaking?” a matron who has taken a house here for the winter inquired recently of a friend

who is a busy social climber,

“Washington,” the climber replied with unexpected perception,

“has anything you want.”

We do, Indeed, have anything you want here, although why you should want it is another question. We

have a homespun social atmosphere spawned by and inspired by our homespun little old Missouri-Kentucky-Texas higher echelons. We have snug and chi-chi parties at which the rich, transplanted New Yorkers and other easterners gather over their Gibsons to look down on the rest of what is hopefully called Washington Society. There is, of course, the Number One Hostess or wealthily indiscriminate set, which incorporates a little of every other group because people in Washington will go anywhere. And then there is diplomatic society, which is a constellation of over-lapping worlds in itself— the middle eastern or we-serve-no liquor set, American or girlie-pinching set, the western European or we-all-love-the-

the South and Central

Marshall-Plan set, and the Iron Cur-

Elise Morrow

tain or Look, Josephine, I'm-not-that-

hard-up-for-vodka set. 1t is a strange world of equally strange parties, and one of the peculiarly exotic social institutions to which it has given house room is the party in honor of legislation, or more correctly, pro-

spective legislation. The invitation to such an affair does not necessarily read “to meet H. R. 1284, or S. 382,” as bills in Congress are officially labeled, or “to meet the tidelands oil bill” —>but it might as well. This does not mean the sort of vulgar, hotel suite roistering suggested by the word, “lobbying.” It is much more discreet, although lobbyists are involved. The guest list will be composed carefully. At a party the other evening at which there seemed to be a remarkable amount of conversation about how the states should be permitted to retain control of the oil deposits in their tideland areas—and just by coincidence that issue is coming up in Congress again

soon—there were representa-

tives from the California and Mississippi and Texas delegations in Congress, some lawyers and lobbyists, a few social butterflies and family friends of the hostess, and a few high government people.

Toc Many Cocktails There is nothing particularly sinister about this. It is simply that in Washington almost everything at some time or another is reduced to a social level, including legislation. Mixing liquor with legislation has its perils, however. One lady at this party, magnificently

under the influence of a beautiful ‘punch which was served from a bowl with grapes decorating the ice, cornered a counselor for the states’ rights approach to the tidelands oil question and announced firmly that he was being unpatriotic. “You put your state above your country,” she glowered. The lawyer argued his way out of that one smoothly, however, and that was as profound as the party got. The most secretive and some of the best parties in Washington are those given by people who work for the Central Intelligence Agency. There is an off-focus quality about these parties which comes, you suddenly realize, because the hosts and other CIA people present,

unlike most folk at capital par-.

ties, never talk about themselves. Instead, they turn all conversation with Dale Carnegle skill to their non-CIA guests. The CIA people seem to have no personalities, until you catch two of them whispering earnestly behind a bush. They hold their liquor well and drink little,
