By the Way-
Blaine

What is the most essential
part of good party?" We thought
good question to ask Mrs. Ken
meth Royal, who as honorary
chairman of the annual debu-
tante balls in Raleigh, N. c.,
learned enough of the requisites
to do a superb job as wartime
senior hostess of the Stage Door
Canteen and serve as a very
efficient and gracious hospitality
chairman of the Jangos.
Mrs. Royal thinks pretty and
attractive girls for the boys to
talk to, and dance with. make the
party. Next she thinks that all
young people like some good mu-
sic to dance to or sing to-but
music and good music! And if
you've ever been to a party for
Servicemen that Mrs. Royal has
helped arrange you'll know that
anything she says about a party
is well worth listening to. Like
all attractive Southern women
she has that illusive and wonder
ful gift Of making everybody feel
completely at home. She is utterly
natural herSelf-she is kind and
gay and glad to see you-not be-
cause she acts that way, but be-
cause she feels that way. Young
people adore her all the way from
the friends of her young married
daughter and her young Marine
Corps son who has been on ac-
tive duty for more than a year,
to the hundreds of young service
people and other war workers
whom she has befriended and
helped entertain ever since the
war began.
Mrs. Royal is native of Colds
boro, N. c.. and she has never
lost that Southern accent, al
though part of her schooling has
included Gunston Hall in Wash
lngton and The Castle at larry
toWn-on-the Hudson. She mar
ried at l8-has a husband of
whom she is tremendously proud,
who was recently made a briga-
dler general and was appointed
by the President to defend the
Saboteurs.
We found it very hard to inter-
view Mrs. Royal about herself
because she wanted to talk about
her husband and when we tried
to pin him down about his wife
his comment was one which
should give food for thought to
good many husbands-that he
still finds ,after more than 20
years OF matrimony> that his
wife is the most charming and
prettiest woman he has ever
known.
