Gold-braid story of the last Of
the alphabet teas Mrs. Truman has
been giving this season was Gen
eral Crawford talking to General
Crawford. You see both generals
have the same name and both of
them are Brigadiers. Mrs. James
B. Crawford whose husband was
Camp DAMS first commanding gen.
arai and Mrs. A. R. Crawford, each
Of whom has called North Caro-.
Ina home at one time or the
other curing the past decade, got
toge;her-and talked about you
know What-each others mail
which mas been in tangle for sew
eral years. The "alphabet teas"
are those parties the First Lady
mas been giving in place of the large
formal receptions given at the
White House during the Big Season
in pre-war days, and even Congress
Sonal wives were invited to the
fetes only when their name was
reached. Another striking note by
Mrs. Truman, at her waist. Thus,
this quiet friendly and unassuming
White House hostess is becoming
"Style-setter." Mrs. Kenneth c.
Royal, wife of the Undersecretary
Of War, accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. L. C. Best who is
visiting at the Royal menage,
we're among the guests present
and so were Mrs. May Thompson
Evans, Mrs. Leslie Biffle and Mrs.
7. Lamar Caudle.
