Herringtons At Dinner For Nehru

Virginia Affair Given By Johnsons

By KATY ATKINS Col, and Mrs. Arthur, Herrington were among

the guests at the dinner, given by the Secretary of De~ fense and Mrs. Louis A. Johnson a week ago at the Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, in honor of Jawaharlal, Prime Minister of India. Secretary Johnson 1s a close friend of the Nehru family. He was associated with the Prime Min--ister (then leader of the Cohgress Party) when he headed the mission sent to India in 1942 by President Roosevelt, . _- This was when the Cripps. mis-~ sion went to discuss the

rey rt WF India’s war potential which might be used to the advantage of the Allies against’ Japan. Col. Herrington was a member of the U. 8. mission under Col. Johnson. ‘ The dinner was a private party with 155 guests seated at tables arranged in an E and decorated with rose colored chrysanthemums of various sizes. and varieties. It was in the grand ballroom ' where the walls and brilliant erystal chandeliers were festooned with smilax. Beeretary and Mrs, Johnson sat facing their guests with His Excellency between them and Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, the Indian Ambassador. to Washington, on the host's left. :

Native Costumes _ THE GOVERNOR of West Virginia was on Mrs.-John-son's left, for the Johnsons are West Virginians. Mrs Ghandi ‘was seated ‘between - John Steelman, White House adviser, and Mr. Henderson of the State Department. Nehru wore the native tight white cotton trousers, his blaék “Woollen “achkan,” or long coat, buttoned close to the neck and kept on his white cotton hat right through the dinner, though Sir Girja Bajpal removed his. While a few of the: Indian men wore American dinner coats, all the In‘dian women wore saris; mostly in varying combinations of white and gold. Nell Herrington says that Mrs. Pundit's was especially lovely with cloth of gold-over one shoulder. Nehru sald that he had not found an. expected hardness . in the American people but has seen a soft side and a great sentimentalism much like his own. What impressed him’ most in America? The great kindness and tremendous amounts of food. ' »

Sectional Hooked Rug Designs Appear Among New Items in Local Stores

By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor THE FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING DAY is the \ traditional one on which the Christmas shopping urge receives the biggest nudge into action. But, as early as this past week, there have been signs and port. ents that it won't be long until the open season on gifts sets in. ; : As iiSusl, the cosmetic counters are out fn front with ints of things to come. Among the first of the season's clever gift. packages, spled at Wasson’s.is Tussy's new way of presenting:

the famous Tussy Wind and Weather Lotion. This year it comes in a little snowman plastic container, complete with tiny

A companion to the snowman is a gingerbread man with white top hat. This, appropriately enough, holds Tussy's Ginger Spice cologne, also $1 each, plus tax. : Cosmetics and perfumes are expected to bag a big chunk of Christmas-gift dollars this year. That's logical since they have the dual appeal of the practical AND the glamorous. Perfumes, to most women, represent pure glamour . . . whether they're new blends or old favorites. One of the latter is Houbigant's Chantilly priced from $3.50 to $18.50 plus tax. Wasson's also have Chaiitilly toilet water at $2.50 and $3.75 plus tax.

» w » ” Nd : A few perfume that already has lots of fans is Fleur. de Feu. An intense bouquet, it is the first new perfume created by the century-old House of .Guerlain.in many years. Bottles in tall fluted column shape come in gray suede’ chests tooled in gold. Two-thirds of an ounce, $14; one and a third ounces, $25; two and a half ounces, $45. . .each plus tax, of course. Ayres’ also sell it by the dram at $2.50 plus that tax.

Hooked Rug. Hook-Up

EARLY NOVEMBER is the time, too, when women who are clever with needlework “get going” on the making of Christmas gifts. For them, the art needle-

hunting grounds. There, they find all kinds of makings for pretty gifts. One of the neatest ideas yet is on tap in Ayres’ needlework section. It

asts and it is Intriguing because it takes the tediousness. out of the hooked rug pro-

ject, Instead of tackling a whole rug at once, and getting wound up in yards of burlap, the rug maker can buy 17 by 17-inch squares of burlap with a choice of motifs handstenciled in color. There are four pretty florals in co-or- ? y prt dinating colors and motifs available. Any one or all of them may be used, then the required number of squares joined to make a rug of the desired size. The photo shows one of the Dritz Burlap Rug Squares (69 cents) and, behind it, four of the completed Squares joined together. The small corner motifs in = each sq elp provide a look of unity as sections are joined. a s =.» The subject of rugs brings up some new Bux cture Mats” they have in Wasson's p aun YP rug department. Shoppers probably will latch on to these for their own use. They are thick rubber oval “mats; 19 by 32 inches; for protection of kitchen, bathroom or hall floors. They will it anywhere and can be sponged clean, Made with non-curling edges and skid-resistant backs, they have rich background colors. The center motifs are molded right into the rubber, so they . can’t scuff off, The two designs are Pennsylvania Dutch and fruit (pictured). The colors are coral, tan, ebony, leaf green or ‘Mediterranean blue. -

Fragrance of the Week

NOTHER STORE which gives perfume its appro-“+-priateplacein the sun is Charles Mayer's: Recently = they inagurated a Fragrance of the Week series, playing up “a different scent each week. Because this week brings the opening symphony concerts, the featured perfume is Lavin's Arpege . .. a sophisticated but not overpowering blend. ‘A half-ounce of this is $12.50; an ounce $23.50, A small - gold-toned. .purse-size . container, called the Lanvinette, holds a dram and is §3.

It's a four-leaf clover compact . +... classically simple round affair completely unadorned except for the four-leaf clover anchored to the center of the lid by a length of chain, : " * vw nn x nu =» As sure to come as Christmas itself are Christmas gift ties. Surveys show that women do the buying of 80 per cent of the male wardrobes in -the U, 8. each year—and probably the percentage on ties is higher. So women might as well know that they may be giving MORE tie when they present neckwear gifts this year. They will if they choose from the Mr. Ned collection, anyway. This is one of the Signet series of ties and is avaliable at Strauss’. The Mr. Ned’ cravats are two inches longer than the regulation 48-inch tie. That's because Ned Goldsmith, Signet president and designer of the Mr. Ned collection, likes soft Windsor knots which take more tie length. These’ are $350... all in distinctive colors although patterns on the pure silk toulard are classical all-over motifs.

The Telescoping Scope INIEST CIGARET HOLDER to date seems to bea #& new one called Scope. Both its smallness and its name are accounted for by the fact that it telescopes - into itself just like those old-fashioned metal drinking cups... Gold-toned and with a black mouthpiece, Scope
