But It Carries On

State Department ‘Extra Men’ And Diplomats Still Attend Parties

E By ELISE HORROW : WASHINGTON, July 8—Wathington in the grip of

the Korean crisis is making noises like Singapore before

the Japanese came; that is, the situation—the interna. tional situation—is making serious inroads in social life,

but we try to carry on.

The State Department extra men, backbones of strength to any hostess, are working late at the department, but the girls are brave and facing these perils courageously. Keeping the powder dry on the social level, in this

glad-land is a serious responsibility, not to be minimized. At one cocktail party several days ago two matrons were discussing the current difficulty and one of the women rose supremely to face history. “Do you suppose,” she, inquired over her martini, “that we should start buying up nylons?” The State Department; incidentally, finally has the answer to Sen. Joe McCarthy—its new liasion officer for the Senate, Horace H. Smith, formerly first secretary at our embassy in Moscow, Smith is thé man whose job is the delicate and unhappy one of keeping the Senators happy about the State Department. Aside from the superior qualifications of a superior career diplomat, he

ing to use this talent constructively, and diplomatically,” ahd has offered to conduct g/ class fn ju-jitsu for any enrators who want to learn. This project has endless possibilities obviously, and you can't tell where it might end. One of the White House aides —those chic young men who provide assistance at state functions—was hit full in the face with boomeranging nostalgia at a big dance here a few nights ago. The young aide was dancing with what might tactfully be called a post-post-post-debutante—but they do come out so early nowadays, as the dowagers say—when the band struck up a perfect Charleston number. This sentimentalism for the Twenties has hit Washington as hard as it has the rest of the country, and the Charleston is currenily out-popularizing the rumba, which is something in a town full of Latin Americans. The White House aide and the post-ete. debutanta went into the Charleston with great enthusiasm when suddenly, in the middle of the number, the girl stopped dancing and gasped, “Bill! Stop! Let's not do it so well . , . we're giving away my age.”

In this case, three sectional units part, allow space for three readers in place of two. Tables are low for correct lamp height, high enough to show their tricky triangular design. There's another ledge below for more storage.

too. Both tables are knotty pine and made by Habitant Shops. (Ayres’.) . Cherry has advocates, as enthusiastic as modernists. One of the companies responsible for the recent increased love of this wood is the Willett firm, Its contemporary-styled furniture is well-groomed as a Robsjohn-Gibbings original. The space-saving tables shown have this sleek lonk. They've function, too, a characteristic borne out by their extra shelves, generous fize and easily cleaned surfaces, (Ayres’.) A coffee-table’'s drawer iz just the place to store living room accessories like bridge tallies, cards, coasters, napkins. The birch one shown has a dark butterscotch finish that resembles maple. It has a 40x20" top, and the drawer is fitted with a center guide.

MADE BY Heywood-Wakefield, it's authentic with heirloom turnings and over-hanging top. (Banner-Whitehill.) The Heritage-Henredon corner table divides a long, sectional sofa. It's extra large (a 36-inch square), is two-tiered for utility. Part of “the company's Far Eastern group, like the low-square coffea table in the same photo, the pieces fit right into a gun room or den, would add spice to a modern setting ar richness to a traditional one." The coffee table has a hand-tooled leather .top, turtle legs to give it distinction. (Both at Block's.) The pieces pictured are not now in stock, but they may be ordered from their respective stores. They'll be available as soon as delivery dates permit,
