Top-Crust Social Climbers Try Hard to Get in on the Act

WASHINGTON, Apr. 15—The Washington week has

been dominated by. the visit

loving, gregarious Chilean President, Gabriel Gonzalez Videla, and his beautiful wife, with such side issues as

"the return of our illustrious native, Perle Mesta, the Minister to" Luxembourg, and the annual Navy Relief Ball.

It was a week to put a good and the town this morning is

culture, having had extensive holdings in Chile; They had a dinner party several nights ago.

is the impressive establishment on Massachusetts Avenue which is owned by the Society of the Cincinnatus and

loaned to the government for entertaining.

The protocol problems in entertaining foreigners, and especlally Latin Americans, cannot be exaggerated. This visit has been without disaster except for widespread mishandling of | the C Chilean

President’s name. It is either

" President Gonzalez or President

Gonzalez Videla, never President Videla, although several

“of the invitations were engraved

with the incorrect usage. These things may seem trival but they are never trival to the people involved. A good example

Some genius could make millions in Washington by opening an elegant escort or extra man service, supplying gentlemen of taste and refinement-—guaran-teed to play acceptable canasta, drink like gentlemen, and not make passes at lady guests—to help hostesses solve their most troublesome problen..

This thought occurred to two swashbuckling party boys when | a chic transplanted New Yorker, now one of Georgetown’'s best | hostesses, called them with -anguished cries last week. She was giving a luncheon, she said, and at the last minute was minus two male guests, the two men having had to fly out of the country suddenly on a govern-

“ment mission.

The boys thought it over and called her back, saying. that they had decided ‘95 incorporate | themselves as an escort service, and would be glad to oblige her | if she would pay them $10 each; and-agree-to-the folowing -con= ditions. All the martinis they | could drink before lunch, vichys-. soise, shad roe ith bacon, and asparagus hollandaise for lunch, champagne all tkrough the meal, and Napolean brandy with their coffee. Also, they said, ‘their services would end immediately after brandy unless she wanted them to stay to play canasta, and that would be $5 extra. Actually, they went to the luncheon after blackening their teeth and dressing in their most disreputable clothes, and complained loudly about the service all through lunch. Fortunately, the hostess had a. sense of humor.

Marion L. Cramer, Martinsville, was his brother's best man. The reception was in the home.| The couple left. for a New Or-| leans trip. The bride's traveling costume was a brown suit with, lemon accessories. They will be .at home after May 1.
