TabIe-Hoppine Among Champions

The champs, of course make their headquar-
tiers at places like Lndys Sards Reuben's, II Club FL
Morocco-but have observed in the clustered and
sedate colony that the practice is observed although the
leaping up and to is somewhat subdued.
Table-hopping is merely exchange of social
amenitieschefy between the great and the great
in the entertainment world
Often it is the prelude to the transaction of weghty
piece of business
Often it is merely the satisfaction of yearn to chat

On the other hand, a chap
like Ted Husing will sit down

Husing Is a champion table

Milton Berle, when he is In

OF course. press agents are
table-hoppers from necessity.

Actors. Critics

On the other hand, there Ia
an unwritten law governing
the table-hopping between
actors and dramatic critics.
Something to do. with ethics
is involved.
So there they sit, the critics,
lonesome, wistful. pining for
company-and the actors, per-
haps not as lonesome, but
equally as wistful-probahly
sneaking looks out of the
corners of their eyes-but
never daring to close the

covering the global war on land and

war been so thoroughly, so truth
fully and so colorfully reported"
In a shortwave Christmas broad
cast to the men he said were shar-
ing "the risks and the experiences
of the fighters in the front lines" "
Mr.. Cooper said:
dispatches from the battle front
are doing many things that you
may not realize.
your stories are breaking down
the fearful suspense of waiting
mothers. They have put iron into
the veins of fighting people. The
morale of entire communities has
been raised by your words of how
their husbands and sons have
fought gallantly, or even how they
have died bravely.

bugaboo of those who stay at home

vince you that you are in our
thoughts and in our hearts. Per-
haps that will help. I hope So"
Mr.. Cooper's greetings, which
carried congratulatory messages
from many newspaper members of
the Associated Press throughout the

House proper were Diana Hopkins
and the Princesses Astrid and Rag
hid and Prince Harald, children of
Crown Princess Martha of Norway.
Hundreds of public school children
released yesterday for two-week
vacation from classes watched the
ceremony from halfway down the
White House lawn.
Four microphones were necessary
to pick up the invocation and bene-
diction of two Washington clergy
men, the voice Of President Roose-
welt, broadcast Of the Marine Band
and Glee Club and the greetings Of
Scouts spoken by Senior Service
Scout Mildred Cabell and Eagle
Scout Nicholas Morana.
Greetings to Sons Afar.
Scout Morana sent greetings not
only to the President but to the
sons OF the Roosevelts in the
armed services. The same greeting
to sons separated from families all
over the world was sent by the Rev.
Frederick E. Reissig during his in
vocation. Benediction was pro-
nounced by the Right Rev. Patrick
j. Mccormick.
President Roosevelt has presided
at community trees in three other
sites besides the one used yesterday,
said the master of ceremonies, Col.
Engineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz. President Coolidge lit the
first tree In 1923. During Mr.. Roose-

with multi-colored ornaments con-
tributed by the children of Wash
ington and collected by the District
Recreation Department.
The carolers were members of the
Army War College Glee Club, Navy
School of Music chorus and Lovette
Choral Club.
No Yule Lights Outside.
Last night the President followed
his annual custom of reading
Dickens Christmas CAROL to his
family. There were no outside lights
at the White House this Yuletide,
but two wreaths are hanging in the
windows on either side of the front
door and a bunch of mistletoe is
hanging from the ceiling light in the
lobby. There is one tree in the
east room, where White House
household employees got War bonds
and War stamp books from the
presidential couple yesterday, and
another tree for the family in the
west hall.
Ornaments on all the house trees,
like those outside on the community
tree, were salvaged from other years.
The White House issued a special
warning against buying any new
ornaments for trees at the White
House.
Members of the Office force also
got leather-bound War stamp books
from the President and Mrs. Roose-
welt yesterday. Each book contained
25-cent War stamp.
Immediately after the tree cere-
mony yesterday Mrs. Roosevelt went
to Cherry Hill court in Georgetown
to hear the annual alley carol sing
ing of the Washington Council of
Church Women. Earlier in the day
she attended parties at the Saliva
ton Army and the Arlington XII
