niece of Nine. Bonnet, rushed back
before the performance was over to
act as hostess.
Last evening, as always in the
vicinity of the French, one couldn' t
help being particularly conscious of
the food, the chic and the beautiful
surroundings. Nine. Bonnet's own
gown was definitely the dernier cri.,
of plum colored taffeta, the fitted
decollete bodice had straps over the
shoulders, and exaggerated flounces
at the hipline topped the very mar
row tapering skirt.
Nine. Munthe de Morgenstierne,
who was accompanied by her am
bassadorial husband, now acting
dean of the diplomatic corps, was
also clad in a Paris model, a hand
some rose brocade. A lovely ice
green lace dress set off Mrs. George
CARROTS attractive looks. She and
her husband, United States Min
lister to Fire, spent most of the time
in the richly paneled drawing room,
where one group of friends after
another found them. They will re-
turn to Ireland on November 7, five
days after the presidential election,
so they do not know whether they
will be remaining or not.
The very pretty, very French
premiere ballerina, Yvette Chauvire,
held court in the drawing room.
Everybody had been intrigued by
her performance and wanted to
meet her. There were Senator and
Mrs. j. William Fulbright. former
Ambassador Robert Woods Bliss who
is quite balletomane; the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Air and
Mrs. John Nicholas Brown. Federal
Trade Commissioner and Mrs. Rob-
ert Freer, and many of her French
countrymen including coutourier
Pierre Balmain who had designed
the black and pink dress she was
wearing.
The British Minister, Mr.. F. r.
Hoyer Millar, was there and said
that his wife had gone to England to
put their sons in school. The Lux
embourg Minister and Nine LIE
Calais, recently returned from
Europe, were telling friends that
they would be off again today-this
time they were going to Cuba to at
tend the Inauguration of the Cuban
President. And Mr.. Jean Delattre-
Seguy was holding forth on the bal
let he had just seen Choregraph-
tcally and technically, it was di-
vineiy accomplished, he said. despite
the poor lighting and staging Con-
stitution Hall offers, and the diff
culties involved in dancing to scores
played by an orchestra that had had
no time to rehearse them.
Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, looking
radiant from her extended vacation
was greeting friends on her first day
back. Mr.. Edward Finkenstaedt and
Lady Rama Rau. wife of the Indian
Ambassador, seated in the formal,
white and green salon. were deep in
conversation, and others present
were Mr.. Philip Courtney, president
of Coty, Inc, whose wife, Marcelle
Denya, sang the "Marseillaise" last
evening; Mrs Dwight Davis, the
Rev. c. Leslie Glenn, Mr.. Eugene
Meyer, Mr.. Harry de Pauer, Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Burke, the Swiss Min
lister and Nine. Bruggmann, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Dewey and one could
60 on and on.
The delicacies on the buffet created
by the new French chef, Ducluzeau,
drew "oohs and abs" from one and
all.

England-have the Govt. be the

we will have. But if 81 of each 100

brought back to the style that our

Truman owes his victory wholly to the farm
ers and the wagewOrkers Without doubt the
Taft-Hartley Law will be modified in several
ways. Certainly, employers should have the
right to state their case to their wagewOrkers;
and moreover should be obliged to take the
same anti-communist oath as do the labor
leaders.
It must not be forgotten that COALITION,
at any time, of the Republicans and Southern
Democrats could hold up any legislation that
the President might greatly desire. This could
apply to UNREASONABLE excess profits
taxes price controls, changes in income brack-
cts, New Deal dreams and other legislation
which would be apt to bring about decline in
general business. Hence, although there is

help business, there is much which could harm
