OF wives of public officials who were
photographed recently in a canning
demonstration launching home food
preservation week, one of her ac-
Iqualntances wanted to know If she
really could can peaches. You
never talk about things like that"
the friend remarked.
Mrs. Steelman assured her that
she could can peaches-and often
does. Il wouldn't admit 1t If I

That was how she learned to cook

friends and serve a dinner featur-

always think is spoon bread and
which is delicious with ham.

before her marriage.

Present Deb
At Estate

Chalk on the social history of
fashionable Newport another bril-
liant debut similar to those given in
prewar days. Miss Mary Lee Fahne-
stock made her bow last evening at
dance at the summer estate of
Mr.. and Mrs. Snowden Fahnestock.
The lovely debutante stood with
her father and Mrs. Fahnestock to
receive the guests-the majority of
whom were members of the younger
set. Only few of the contempo-
raries of Mr.. and Mrs. Fahnestock
were at the merry affair.
Miss Fahnestock wore a truly
debutante- like frock. 1t was fash
ioned Of white organdy and had a
fitted bodice with billowy rufie
edging the dropped shoulder line.
The skirt was yards wide and tipped
the floor. An old-fashioned bouquet
of varied types of flowers compile
mented her beautiful gown. Mrs.
Fahnestock chose for the occasion
a pale beige lace gown, the pattern
picked out In gold threads, and there
was a cluster of gold roses at the
low neckline.
Numerous dinner parties preceded
the dance, and outstanding among
these was that given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Werner Reed. Miss Fahne-
stock held the spotlight at this de-
lightful affair. Among others who
entertained before the dance were
Mr. and Mrs. George Tyson and MIR.
and Mrs. Nathaniel Hill.
The setting of last nights debut
was enchanting. The residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fahnestock is charm
ing. Built along French architec-
ture, it has a courtyard at the side.
It was here that refreshments were
enjoyed and there was a program
of entertainment throughout the
evening. Covering the court was a
gaily striped tent and similar but
larger tent was especially erected
for the dancing. A noted relocated
Hungarian orchestra played until
the early morning hours.
In addition to this years debu-
tantes and their beaux, also included
among the guests were the friends
Of Miss Clare Fahnestock, sister Of
the debutante, who made her debut
a year ago at the 1925 F Street Club.
Glare chose for the function coral
color chiffon designed on Grecian
lines, with a wide gold sequin belt
marking the high waistline.

Music, Travel and Labor Problems
e Among Interests of Mrs. Steelman
By Frances Lide

since, she has kept up with the la
Dor picture as the wife of a mar
who long has been one of the coun-
try's chief labor trouble shooters.
Not that her interest in public af-
fairs is confined to labor problems
She keeps abreast of current events
through the radio, newspapers and
periodicals, when she doesn't get
her information first hand from her
husband.
Mrs. Steelman was born and
reared In ST. Louis and when she
mentions 1t these days, hastily adds
with a laugh: But the President
didn't know I was from Missouri
when he appointed my husband re-
conversion director" Her husband
incidentally, is a native of Arkansas
AS a young girl she studied piano
and voice and she has sung in
church choirs most of her life. Un-
til Mr.. Steelman left Washington
for New York, where he had an
office as public relations coun-
selor until President Truman
brought him back last October as
his special assistant, she was a
member of the choir of the Luther
Place Memorial Church.
Mr.. Steelman is an enthusiastic
golfer and his wife plays little
though she seldom joins him in a
game. Most men, she feels, enjoy
golf more without women around.
They both like to dance. And when
they aren't going out for dinner,
they frequently take walks together
late in the evening along Connecti-
cut avenue near the Kennedy War
rem where they make their home.
During the war, Mrs. Steelman
was an assistant air-raid warden and
received certificate for her eff
forts. She also spent a lot of time
rolling bandages.
She loves to travel, has visited
most of the States and, If and when
her husband has some free time
in the future. hopes to accept some
of the invitations they have received
to visit such places as Alaska and
Puerto Rico.
Her apartment shows her interest
in interior decoration. And, on the
domestic side, she sews a little
making some Of her dresses and an
occasional hat. Coats are her hobby
so far as clothes are concerned
She can always think Of . good
excuse to buy one.
