The club is, in fact, Washington's
best social barometer of who's still

Dancing on the terrace of sum-
mer's eve is a thing of sheer lowell
ness. Moonlight bathes the white,
high -pillared porch and the wide
tree-bordered lawn that blends into
the distant fairway, while the
brightly lighted interior casts soft
glow on the dancing figures outside.
Those not grouped around tables
near or about the dance floor, sip
their mint juleps in relaxed COM
fort under the trees and listen to
the melodious strains of music that
float out into the night air.

Mrs. Clayton bemoans the fact,
however, that her husband has not
found time for a vacation at their
home in Houston since he came
here to serve with the Office of
the coordination of nter-American
Affairs-the first of a series of posts
which eventually led him to the
State Department with his appoint
ment as Assistant Secretary.
She, herself, returns to Houston

There were IS forest trees on the
place when they built their home
about 80 years ago and about halt
that number still remain.
Houston is. even more alluring,
however, because 1t is the home
of three Of her four daughters. And
she likes to keep up with her four
grandchildren there.
Mrs. Clayton has always centered
her interests in her family. That
she has decided executive ability
and flair for leadership, however,
was demonstrated when she served
as president of the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club for the
l944-5 season and again when she
headed the Washington drive for
the United Negro College Fund.
Under her Craftsmanship, the
Negro College fund drive exceeded
its goal by $4,000, the only time
the Washington committee has met
its quota.
And soon after taking office at
the Democratic Club, she proved
that her husband does not have
