Washington numbers among It's
thousands Of professional residents
the most unique hostess in this
|country-and perhaps in the world.
Visiting kings and prime minis
tiers, princes and presidents, great
military leaders and potentates and
other famous guests of this nation
have left this Capital with nleasant
memories OF her and of the home
over which she presides for Uncle
Sam.
Mrs. Victoria Geaney, hostess of
Blair House, Is the scrt of person
about whom pleasing memories
linger without effort. She is gentle
and mild In manner, of medium
height, with short, graying hair that
accentuates the blueness Of her
kindly eyes. Her job is to welcome
to Blair House distinguished guests
from foreign lands and to make
them feel at home.
Strangers in strange land, where
customs and style OF living diff
fer widely from their own, naturally
show formidable reserve when
they enter the house in which they
are to be guests for the duration Of
their visit. A few hours in Blair
House, however, and the visitors feel
at home.
The house itself is one reason why
strangers within its walls lose their
shyness. It literally radiates the
beauty and dignity of the typical
American home of a century and
more ago. The exquisite simplicity
of its furnishings, lived with ard
loved by three generations of the
Blair family, invite the visitor to
enjoy its comfort. And the moment
one enters the front door, whether
as momentary visitor or as house
guest, the first impression is one of
friendliness and hospitality.
That impression soon becomes a
reality, and those who have fallen
under its spell remember. They not
only remember, they write from
their far-away homes to express
their gratitude to Mrs. Geaney and
the members Of her staff who made
their sojourn in Washington so
comfortable and pleasant. Carefully
preserved in durable albums, these
letters, in as many languages almost
as there are countries in The world,
some day will be'a part of the his
tory of this extraordinary era.
Blair House almost never is idle.
Important conferences are held m
its spacious and beautiful library.
cabinet officers meet there for,
luncheon occasionally and this past
Thursday the entire cabinet met
there for luncheon Numerous other
functions of an informal nature keep
Mrs. Geaney and her small staff
busy almost continuously when the
house is not filled with foreign
visitors.
For more than quarter of CEN
tury Mrs. Geaney has been con-
nected with Blair House. and since
it was taken over during the Roose-I
velt administration she has become
a civil service employe of the State
with the title of hostess
of Blair House. She loves and ap-
preciates its beauty and its history,
and she loves her twenty-four-
hours a-day every day job of well

to be something of a mystery, on
the basis of information given the
recently adjourned legislature.
Rep. John Umstead of Chapel
Hill, fighting unsuccessfully at the
start of the session for its aboli-
ton, said it was a vicious, I'M
democratic rule. That started the
flame for 1947.
There were various SLY remarks
made from time to time that the
rules history had some rather
interesting phases.
Then one day it happened.
Threatens To Tell
Rep. Rex Gass of Winston
Salem, himself chairman Of the
rules committee, threatened to tell
the whole story unless his bill to
dry up Bethania township in
Forsyth county were not passed.
1t had been before committee a
long, long time, he said, and he
intended to get it out. He said
he had not part in adoption of the
rule, made when O. M. Null was
speaker aNd ]. M. Broughton was
governor.
Mull's name was drawn into the
debate. He himself was trying to
dry up Cleveland county.
Things remained tense for a
while, and then it happened again.
Senator John Mclaughlin of Ire
dell, fighting for his local anti
wine and beer bill, produced two
letters before committee.
They were written by Null in
1910 and addressed to Umstead.
In them was information that
Broughton had reached an agree
ment with representatives of the
so-called wet counties and his ad-
ministration would oppose a state
wide referendum. Umstead said
he had held the letters all these
