the new President. Gate-crashers took
heed, made note Of the place. They
formed approximately one tenth Of the

MOT every hostess in Washington
knows all guests invited to recep-

gives the gate-crasher chance to get
away with downright fraud. Certain
lines of practice and procedure de-

the outsider to gain admittance to ex-
elusive affairs.
In the last analysis, the State De-
partment puts up the best barrier
against the gate-crasher, but occa-

attend diplomatic and state functions
sponsored by the American Govern

list; members Of the diplomatic corps
and their wives; men and women from
every nation in the world on friendly
terms with the United States; names
of those in the Government-from the
newest Representative to the Chief
Justice; high-ranking officers Of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps; and a
few Of what are known as Washing

Naturally, this list is sacred. Three

Joke is, gate-crashers do not bother
about invitations. They go witho t

BENNINGTON, Vt, August 2l.-
Alice Lorraine Baker spent five days
alone In Vermont woodland-an ex-
perience that would have taxed
the stamina Of persons many times
older than her 20 months-but doctors
said today she should be well and

Her chief worry, they said was a
sore throat and the many scratches
inflicted by bushes and thorns during
her wandertngs, clad only in 4 thin
sun suit.
The search for brown-eyed Alice,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Kimbell
Baker OF Hudson Falls, N. Y, ended
suddenly late yesterday when men, who
were hopefully following little foot
prints along seldom-used timber
road between Bald and Spruce Noun
tains, heard means under a spruce
tree, about 80 yards away.
Breaking through the undergrowth
they found Alice lying naked on her
tiny one-piece blue sun suit.
Her eyes sparkled, said Motor Vehicle

Three quick shots from Barber's pn-

been found and brought a doctor and
nurse to give first aid
Alice wandered away Monday from
her parents place. There had been
cold nights in the mountains since
then and her mother and father knew
she wore only her play suit when she
left. Some searchers had thought per-
