It's the time of the year for holly
and mistletoe and Christmas trees
trimmed with bright-colored orna-
ments, and for department store

of millions of youngsters. It's the
time for family reunions too, for

doors and welcome their friends for
a bit Of holiday cheer.

home Friday from Goucher College

sented in Montreal In 1947. This is
the first time in five years that
Roxanne has been in Washington
for Christmas.
The other party is set for New
Years Day, and these will be the
first in series that Gen. and Mrs.
Kuter will give in their new quarters
at Andrews Air Force Base. Rox-
anne has a house guest for the holi-
days, who will be in on the festivi-
ties. She's Miss Phyllis Rattray,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice
Rattray of Seattle, Wash, who now
are in Australia.
Col. and Mrs. Lloyd E. Mielenz

Mrs. c. R. Pendleton, will arrive
Friday from Macon, Ga. Another
son-in-law and daughter. 1t. Col.

What's Cooking in Our Capital
When It's Close to Christmas

Capitalites are so submerged In
Christmas wrappings these days
that 1t Is all they can do to poke
their heads above the melee and
rush off to a party-a wisp Of red
ribbon still clinging to their clothes.
Austin Bean, who's been prac-
tically around the world since bis
friends last saw him, is giving his
annual Sunday elbow-rubbing this
afternoon from to Z in his apart
ment at $500 @ street E. The Julio
Huertemattes are entertaining at
cocktails Wednesday in honor of
Polly Guggenheim who has just
painted dreamy portrait Of Gladys
That evening Rose Saul and the
William Herrons are giving dinners
before the Andrew Sauls' dance
The next evening the Carroll Nor
gans are having a small dinner be-
fore the Mckee Dunn dance The
Jesse Nicholsons will be at home
next Sunday afternoon Caro-
line and Tom Adams will gather
quantities of friends for a 6-toS8
party on the 28th . And the Harry
L. Rust, jr.'s, have sent out cards
for their annual New Year Day egg
nogg party that will draw prominent
Washington residents by the dozens.
Whipping out of town to have
an old-fashioned Christmas on their
farm are DR.. and Mrs. Paul Mag
nuson. The medical director of the
Veterans Administration and his
wife are leaving Wednesday for a
week in their rambling white farm
house about 40 miles from Chicago.
It was here that they entertained
the present Queen of the Neither
lands, when Juliana was in that
vicinity during the war.
The sweet and lovely strains OF
Christmas carols will float out into
the night on Wednesday evening
around Children's Hospital, Hillcrest
and one or two other favorite Capt.
tai places. The children at the hos
pital had another treat last week.
Every year after one Of their
famous dinners, the Gridiron Club
sends the red roses that decorate
their gridiron table-and there were
5000 Of them this year!-to three
hospitals chosen by the wife Of the
club president. Last Sunday Mrs.
Phelps Adams sent them to Chill
dren's, Suburban and Arlington hos
pitals. Childrep's Is always one of
the three recipients-ever since a
superintendent wrote a letter telling
how each little patient had bunch
of red roses by the bed.
This afternoon Capital bachelor,
who wants to remain 'nameless, Is
taking about 20 young fry to Consti-
tuition Hall to hear the Cathedral
choir boys sing Christmas carols
with the National Symphony Or
chestra. OF course. he's taking some

room. The tree was placed in the
bay window and decorated with
sparkling and shining ornaments,
as well as the prettily tied pres
ents. --... -.
Santa Claus entered through the
window, wearing a red suit, high
boots and white fur, to distribute
the gifts. In private life the Santa
Claus yesterday is better known as
Mr.. Wilson Ewart, attache Of the
embassy. There were interesting
and amusing games to be played
and the usual refreshments for
youthful guests.

will have with them at Christmas
and over the weekend the leader
Of the Opposition in the South
Australian Parliament, Mr.. Robert
Stanley Richards. They will have
additional guests with them Christ
mas day.
Members of the embassy staff and
their wives have been invited for
a bit of Christmas cheer Thursday
afternoon from to 6 o'clock.
The Colombian Ambassador and
Sonora de Restrepo-Jaramillo are
planning Christmas party Tues
day evening for Colombians living
in Washington. It will be a buffet
supper and the company probably
will number about $50.
Christmas week will be gay at the
Netherlands Embassy, where the
Ambassador and Nine. van Kleffens
will have with them Miss Barbara
Fischer of New York. The guest
will arrive Friday and plans to be
here until the middle of the follow
ing week.
The Ambassador and Nine. van

from the tree.
The Ambassador and Mime. van
Kleffens will give a reception New
Year Day for the members of the
embassy staff and their older chill
dren.

Wednesday after being in Paris for
some months. The Ambassador has
been a delegate to the United Ma

For Children GayAfar
Plans of Diplomatic Set
For Christmas Festivities
By Katharine M. Brooks.

The Australian Ambassador and
Mrs. Norman j. o. Maxim gave
their annual Christmas party for
the children of members of the
embassy staff yesterday. There
were SO very young people, none
over II, and in addition to those
from Australia, young Caroline and
Alison Franks, daughters of the
British Ambassador and Lady
Franks, joined the fun.
Bright balloons were hung over
the stairway and distributed to the
youthful guests as they arrived, and
the interest in these bright. grace

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert E. Freer were

party given last evening by mem
bers of the staff of the Federal
Trade Commission in the blue room
at the Shoreham. Mr.. Freer is re-
signing from the Craftsmanship Of
the commission at the first of the
year to engage in private law
practice.
Preceding the dinner, Mr.. and

of their good-looking mothers, too.
DR.. Hans Kinder is conducting and
some Of the best known carols will
be printed in the program so the
audience can give voice, too, near
the end Of the concert.
Being shepherded by the bachelor
will be two Arnauld Wapler children
and two Jean-Claude Winckler chill
dren Of the French Embassy; the
Clan vincenzo Soros' son and the
Felice Catalanos' child of the Italian
Embassy; Belgian Nine. H. F. Es-
chauzier's two children, Ruth Yohns
two small fry and the offspring of
Yugoslavian displaced persons max
ing their home with her. BY a
strange coincidence the mothers of
all these children are very attrac-
tive!
II II II
Capitalites and Soviets seem to be
more simpatico where music is con-
cerned than in their other relations.
The other night at the Waltz Group
dance a dreamy waltz was played
and every one floated so divinely
to it that it was requested again
and again. It was scintillating, civil
hed, elegant. charming-so unlike
the impression the Berlin blockaders
try to create. The curious discov-
cred that 1t was none other than
part Of the Masquerade Suite" by
Aram Khachaturian, the Russian
composer. Played by our own Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra in Con-
stitution Hall few weeks ago, 1t
lends itself equally well to concert
or to ballroom.

Guests at a recent dinner for
Dean Conrad, who's home from the
Philippines for Christmas, are still
talking about that hysterical eve
ming. Bill and Connie Mccormick
were the hosts and since Mannix
Walker was there, O. game Of char
AIDES was the natural consequence
to dinner. Costumes were sought
from the McCornicks' wardrobes
and before long Mannix was parad-
ing In a lady's hat and a fur tippet.
At that point the gals present dis
covered Comics store of millinery
and things suddenly went mad.
While her husband and others sat
there making critical comments,
Caroline Dorsey modelled and
bought right of her hostess Wal
ter Florel white felt with white
cock feathers and a docoa brown
number. Nancy Ordway popped up
with q turquoise velvet tam rem
iniscent of Lawrence Olivier in
Henry the Fifth plus a chin veil
which she offered a sum for. Julie
Cahill talked Connie out of a pur-
pie straw and red velvet job and
Betty Block walked out with a red
cloche with black aigrettes to wear

Elaborate Setting
For Holiday Party
Gipen in KenzVOOd

The Danish Ambassador ana
Nine. de Kaufman, Sir Will
mott and Lady Lewis, Associate JUS
tice Frank Murphy, and the secre-
tary to the President and Mrs.
Charles S. Ross were among Wash
ington residents prominent in OFF,
cial life who went out to Kenwood
yesterday to greet Mr.. and Mrs.
Courtland D. Ferguson, who enter
tanned at a cocktail party and a
buffet supper.
The holly branches on the front
door held In place q pair Of bright
red Santa Claus boots and the
jingle of a sleigh bells as the door
opened gave a hint Of the general
air of gayety that characterized the
party.
Standing in the hall at the en-
trance to the drawing room to well
come the guests were the hosts. Mrs
Ferguson wore gown Of q black
chantilly lace over turquois taffeta
that made charming picture
against the background of turquoise
and pomegranate shades that she
has used In her drawing room and
in the dining room across the hall.
The dress was made with a full skirt
and softly rounded neckline and
pinned against the cap sleeve on her
left arm was an exquisite corsage of
white orchids. A necklace of dia-
monds completed her costume.
Guests remained for a while in
the drawing room to admire the
mantel decorations of silver pine
cones and glistening magnolia
leaves and then, lured by the lilt-
ing melody of marimba music fur
nished by Velasquez, who came from
Philadelphia for the party, that
f1oated up from the lower floor of
the house, they drifted downstairs
to the recreation rooms and the
buffet supper that awaited them
there.
Wreaths Of bright huckleberry
leaves and yard-long peppermint
candy sticks made a bright spot Of
color at the entrance to the room,
where supper was served.
On the mantle over the fireplace
was an enchanting group of lumi-
nous snow men and guests ex-
claimed with delight as they ex-
amined the sugar plum tree that
decorated the supper table where
the hostess had provided smoked
turkey, ham, spiced beef and many
other good things to eat.
Some of the $50 guests who called
during the afternoon were Repre-
sentative and Mrs. j. Glenn Beall,
