With her son in the Signal Corps

suspects it would be more sensible
to live in an apartment.
Housekeeping chores take up lot
OF her time, despite the help of a
maid who has been with her since
she first came to Washington. She
does her marketing daily, awaiting
her turn in line when there are
shortages. Last summer she and
the Secretary of Agriculture spent
many an afternoon moving the
lawn.
Serving on the board of the Con-

his elevation to the cabinet last

The board meets each Monday and
the clubs Friday programs-featur-

Eisenhower and Admiral Chester w
Nimitz this year-often are a must

are numerous club luncheons, din

of the clubs Red Cross unit.

Spring Hats
RipaI FI0uers
In Party Wbwl .
Bv Libby Manure

Read through any society column
and eventually you will see some
thing about floral decorations" or
gold braid glamour" but actually
no mere vase Of flowers or manly
attire can hold a persons eye these
days. Put group of women in
spring hats, in fairly simple sur
roundings, If possible, and your eyes
will rest on more charmingly
decorative color scheme than could
ever be arranged beforehand.
The Congressional Clubs white
paneled circular room decorated
with a few green palms forms a
perfect background when members
and their friends gather for Friday
afternoon tea. Your eyes light on a
scattering of hats in tourquoise,
shell pink, powder blue. white, yel-
low, beige. apple green, ice blue,
or any lovely color, in feathers ana
flowers. And if the weather is sharp
outside the contrast is especially
delightful.
At the Davieses one evening I
looked straight through a bunch
Of gladioluses at a blue feather hat
which was so elegant it could have
been sketched by Howard Chan
dler Christy. The wearer was sip
ping tiny cocktail, and seemed
equal to the weight of feathers
above. Mrs. Parker West can be
spotted in crowd because the
tiny feather hat she wears is such
Ia heavenly shade of delicate pink.
Nine. Bonnet, designer of hats
as we'll, was seen at the Soviet re-
ception in a. striking Cossack- style
hat piled high with dark beaver
brown ostrich feathers. A pale olive
green cloche was worn to the same
party by pretty Nine. de Belt. And
Mrs. Edgar Morris sported a hat
fresh from Paris of dusty pink
satin, studded with small moon
stones under the brim. The wife
of the Assistant Naval Attache,
Nine. Belikov, wore a hat of cham
pagne satin, with touch of brown
on top to match her satin dress.
The daintiest one I've seen was
a pale yellow straw worn by Nine
Caceres, and from where I was
sitting I could have sworn the straw
was topped by a miniature flower
garden, very formal, with a fence
brim.
At the New Zealand party Mrs
Robert E. Lee HIS hat drew all
eyes-a halo of frosted white lace
in deep pleats with single red
rose planted little to the left OF
center. Mrs. Tom Burke, in con-
trast, wore a close hat of sleek
black feathers. Mrs. Patrick Hurley
looked beautiful in a hat of soft
beige feathers, and it was like fol-
lowing beam of light around tc

that she can tell by a quick glance
in her date book that there is a lull
brewing on the social horizon, and
according to the wife of the Sec
retary of State, Washington needs
one. Mrs. Vinson says that she ex-

Washington Gets Out Red Carpet;
Good News of Popular Diplomat

When an attractive newcomer
moves to Washington, that's news.
But when the newcomer is tall,
blond, very good looking and the
bride of a foreign service officer,
it calls for special attention, in
cluding the red carpet.
Fresh off the boat Friday arrived
a nice addition to Washington So
ciety. The former Maria Petrucci,
daughter of one-time Italian Min
lister to Persia was married to
Charles Thayer of our State De-
partment, now lieutenant colonel
in the o. S. S., last fall in Vienna.
Charles, who is brother-in-law of
Chip Bohlen, State Department ex-
pert on Russian affairs, was loaned
to the OSS after the war started
and was later dropped by para
chute behind the German lines in
Yugoslavia. He is now in Korea,
whence he is expected to return in
a couple of months. In the mean
time Mrs. Thayer win stay with
Mrs. Bohlen.
Their story begins in Moscow
where Mr.. Thayer was attached to
our embassy at the same time
American-born Frances Rosso was
there as italian Ambassadress. The
latter told Charles that she was
expecting a visit from an Italian
girl and hoped he would show her
a good time. Before the visit, how
ever, Mr.. Thayer went to Persia to
go hunting with Ambassador Pc
trucci and there met Maria. When
Miss Petrucci went to Moscow,
Frances watched with sincere ap-
probation the whole at
tention the American bachelor was
giving her visitor, when it dawned
on her that they we're head over
heels in love. Maria hid out from
the Germans with Frances and Au-
gusto Rosso for nine months in
Rome, and when the Allies arrived
she joined the American Red Cross
and went to France and Germany.
She was married in her Red Cross
uniform when she and her fiance
finally met again in Vienna.

ing at the party Dean gave the

overseas. Nat, who spent most of
his time in London, saw Lady

former Lady Maureen Noel who
used to live in Washington and
made loads of friends here.
Stellita Renchard said that she
had seen Herman van Royen at
The Hague, where he is now his
oountry's Foreign Minister. Promi-
nent in the Netherlands under
ground, he twice escaped from the
tortures Of Nazi prison. Stellita
said that she was the first foreign
woman to enter The Hague after
peace was declared. The big hurry
was prompted by the need to acquire
one OF the few houses left in the
much-bombed capital so that she
and her family could move up from
Paris. She got the house. Cute
looking Mimi Scott was there, and
1t. Col. John O'Hanlon, Will Claytor
