Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson
as chairman of the American Red
Cross, has issued an appeal for
$2,000,000 for flood relief.
Admiral GraySon might have
had such a happy idea when he
was inaugural chairman last
Wednesday.
Sometimes Admiral Grayson
shoots wild turkeys. I heard yes
terday about a turkey-hunting ex
pedition of his on the estate OF
Mr.. Bernard Baruch in South
Carolina.
Mr.. Baruch gave his good friend
from Washington his best guide
and said:
'DO as Bill tells you"
Rear Admiral Grayson had
never hunted wild turkeys before.
So he obeyed meekly.
He walked fast. He ran. He
walked slowly. He even crawled
through the high grass on his
tummy. For miles and hours he
travelled just as his guide advised,
At last Admiral Grayson sighted
a big gobbler. He aimed carefully.
Shot him through the head.
my first wild turkey" he told
himself with pride, and advanced
to collect his trophy.
The gobbler, so Admiral GraySon
swears, was tied to a stake ano
had Barney Baruch's calling caro-
under one wing.
After thinking over the brilliant
dinner Commissioner and Mrs
George E. Allen gave for Mr.
Adolph Zukor at the Carlton just
before the preview of Gladys
Swarthout's Champagne Waltz
have worked out suggestions fol
successful party giving in the
Capital.
A dash of Hollywood helps stiff
Washington forget its self-con
sciousness.
Add to Hollywood, Mississippi
charm Commissioner Allen came
from down in the Delta) and g
hostess in white satin and orchids
looking as lovely as a Hollywood
star.
Throw precedence in seating out
Of the window except for guests
of honor. Mix Senators, bank presi
dents, the press, congressman an6
simple citizens without regard tc
rank.
Order an orchestra, a quick k-mov
ing orchestra, to play merrily dur
ing the serving of cocktails and tc
lift that pail of silence that usually
falls at the beginning of formal
Washington dinner.
Before dinner let the guests
select their own drinks, martins,
manhattans, bronx, highballs or
old-fashionedS.
Add a booth where caviar and
blinis are as plentiful as at the
Soviet Embassy.
Have many agreeable men about
the Aliens found dozens. If the
men are interesting, the women
try to be more charming and SO
your party is gayer
Find a guest of honor like Mr.
Zukor. Produce, if you can, a
pretty creature like Glady S
Swarthout, someone who will take
pains with each guest who says

wonderful"
Persuade Mr.. and Mrs. Harry C
Butcher to lend you a radio an
nouncer with a voice like Boake
Carter to make for host ano
honor guest with a passion fol
anonymity" the wittiest after
dinner speech heard in Washing
ton in three decades.
Having done all these things
watch the Distinguished Citizens
who have been creaking around II
their official shells, laugh anc
talk like people.
