Standing by the entrance to the
dining room the first person
slimpsed was the daughter of the
President of the United States, Miss
Margaret Truman. Clad in q smart
black dress and hat with a string
of pearls as her only ornament, Miss
Truman was being introduced to one
new arrival after another. The
Chief Executives daughter said
that she and her parents were
looking forward to spending Christ
mas in. their home in Missouri and
to the much needed rest that would
60 with it. Nearby Acting Secre-
tary Of State Dean Acheson and
former Undersecretary Of State
Joseph c. Grew were deep in con-
versation. Mrs. Acheson was also
there, looking very stunning In a
black ostrich feather hat and dress
of the same color.
Other cabinet members present
were Secretary of Agriculture Clin-
ton P. Anderson and Secretary of
Commerce Henry A. Wallace. Stand
ing by the tea table chatting with
Mr.. and Mrs. Max o. Gardner was

THE UNIQUE FEATURE of the
Charles C. Glovers' party was the
very large percentage Of old Wash
ingtonians present. Although Capt.
tai residents enjoy the constant in
f1ux of new friends that official life
brings to Washington, 1t is always q
treat to find oneself in that odd
home week" atmosphere that marked
this party in honor of Mr.. Gyorgy
Sander, well-known pianist and guest
artist at yesterdays National SYM
phony concert. Mr.. Sander, a Hun
garlan by birth, has been in this
country for seven years and is an
American citizen who served for two
years In the United States Army.
His next scheduled concert will be
with the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra with Eugene Ormandy
conducting.
Glimpsed here and there: DR..
Hans Kinder, fresh from the con-
cert and talking to Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Finkenstaedt; Mr.. and Mrs.
George E. Hamilton, jr., chatting
with Mrs. Charles H. Maddox and
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Folger; Mrs.
Peter Belin with the Reeve Lewises
and telling about the success of
the Smith College Club dance; Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel H. Kaufman and |
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and !
Mrs. Harry Hoskinson-Jessie, hat
less, and in smart gold striped
wool suit; the Marshall Dierssens,
Mrs. David Barry and DR.. and Mrs.
Walter Willard Boyd-Ruth wearing
a smart black hat with feathers
pointing north by northeast (she
says her husband calls it her moose
haD.
Speaking Of hats, the millinery
creation of the afternoon was worn
by Mrs. David Rodd, whose hus-
band is attached to the Canadian
Legation. It seems that Squadron
Leader Rodd saw large cartwheel
hat covered in soft, deep blue feath-
ers with chin strap of tulle in a
shop window one day, and while
gazing thoughtfully at it, trying to
work up the courage to buy it for
his wife. it disappeared from the
window, presumably lost and gone
forever. A few days later, he saw
the same back in the same window
and this time he moved with the
speed of man with a purpose and
acquired same. 1t is nice for a
change to see a woman's hat that
a man not only approves of but
selected himself.
Others at the party were Mr.. and
Mrs. David Karrick, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. c. Oliphant, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Carroll Morgan, Miss Anne Peter,
Mrs. Robert Guggenheim, Mr.. and
