WASHINGTON. Sept. 2—“Don’t go classifying me

as a male Mrs. Mesta,” said John E. Peurifoy, who sails for Greece next week to- be the new United States am-.

bassador. This warning makes some

guests of honor at more farewell parties in Washington than have

sense. The Peurifoys .have been

been held at any time since Madame

Elise Morrow ~

Mesta. , departed last year in a blaze of social hysteria for her post as Minister to Luxembourg. : It has never been estimated precisely how much Scotch, martinis, launch an ambassador or minister properly, but in the:case of Mr. Peurifoy, as-with Mrs. Mesta, the quantity is obviously considerable. ‘Mr. Peurifoy is a dark, husky, handsome former South Carolina farm boy who rose rapidly from elevator oper- | ator on Capitol Hill to Deputy Undersecretary of State for administration. It has been suggested that his appointment to Greece is meant to be merely a | foreign-experience that he may eventually be tapped for Secretary of State. The Peurifoys. have .by now lost

count of the luncheons, dinners, receptions, cocktail parties, and so on which have been held since the ambassadorial appointment was announced. No one else has kept count, either, but the best estimate is between 25 and 30.

They have ranged from informal outdoor barbecues, ziven by officially unimportant irlfends in suburban Virginia, to a formal dinner at the Carlton Hotel given by Mr. and Mrs. Max Truitt, daughter and son-in-law of the Vice President. However, both this week-end and last week-end, Ambassador and Mrs. Peurifoy were forced to boycott all social life to get their packing done. Of all the parties, the most unusual was the one given by a group of cighty-some. Senators and Representatives, headed by Congressman Frank Boykin of Alabama, whose motto, engraved all over his office, is “Everything's Made for Love.” Mr, Peurifdy, who has been the State Department's expert witness on the hill, is extremely popular with Congress. Even 30, a party given by members of Congress for a 'State Department “official is, at this time in Washington, so spectacular as to be incredible. Most politicians regard anyone with the Department of State as sinister and unstable, and the good will that flowed at this party was unbelievable.

by what he saw. This political phenomenon, occurring at a time when the State Department has been taking the worst beating in years, must have been reported back to Athens “immediately. = The Peurifoys will sail next Thursday on the Vulcania for Naples.

Aside from - enormous diplomatic Teceptions, where am-

countries simply make an ap- | pearance, their diplomats have little to do with the . 2st of the | world as it is represented in the United States capital. The dreary, unsettling results of attempted socializing in this direction were demonstrated very well a few evenings ago. An entirely conservative Virginia hostess gave a small buffet supper—no names, no lion, no social ambition, just a party. She impulsively invited the ambassador of one of the largest satellite states and his wife, who lived in the neighborhood and whom she had met casually on afternoon walks. It was a social disaster. Socializing “DO YOU realize,” said one of the guests, “that there was nothing we could talk about? We were-afraid-to talk -about the war in Korea, we couldn't talk about anything going on up the Hill because so much is anti-Communist, and we were afraid to mention anything else anyway. We couldn't even talk about food—at least, I got mad when the ambassador's wife raved about our wonderful markets, and how she sends our food home to her country.” Several officers were among the guests—and left very early. One intelligence officer spent

the evening in uncomfortable silence, despite the drinks which were a mixture of champagne and vodka spiked with Triple Sec and decorated with cucumber slices. The tangible resentment filled the air and almost ruined the party, although the ambassador

vivacity, and he even went so far as to do a ‘spirifed folk dance for the entertainment of the other guests.

Homemaker - Stores Pastries By JEAN TABBERY A freezer filled with

frozen pastries is like a

bakery . shop just around the corner. Mrs. Fletcher Ferguson, N. High School Road' homemaker,

has a 16-foot freezer, experi-

mented with it until she perfected the storing technique.

This is the fifth in a series on canning and freezing fruits, vegetables, meats, pastries and dairy products. The information is directed to beginners as well as veteran home-makers.

Now she tucks away pie shells, doughnuts and sweet rolls so they're available whenever she needs them. “On busy days it’s so helpful to take out a pie that's been prepared when I had plenty of time. I go about my duties while the shell is thawing, then pop it in the oven and bake like any ordinary pie,” Mrs. Fer-

...gUsSon says.

“My family votes the flavor as delicious as a- freshly baked one,-and they think the crust is flakier.” 8 Mrs. Ferguson freezes the ples as soon after making as possible. And she’s found an aluminum or tin pan is more satisfactory than a pyrex one. The pyrex may break while the pie is being baked.

Package Tightly Make certain the pie is packaged in an air tight container. Aluminum foil wrappers are excellent, according to Mrs. Ferguson. She also stores baked pie shells, saves them until she wants to serve a filled ‘pie. While the shell is thawing, make the filling. Then put both’ into the oven; this heats the pie shell through. Don’t unwrap doughnuts and sweet rolls from their store
