Before going into the dining room
to behold this exquisite setting for a
party, the Presidents wife received
the guests in the historic blue room.
The Marine Band Orchestra played
as the ladies were being received
and White House aides and ushers
were on hand to escort the ladies
in the state suite.
Gay Hats Rival Blossoms
Looking around the table was truly
a treat with the attractive group Of
women wearing their smartest gowns
and their most becoming chappeaux.
The hats Wed in color with the
flowers on the table. It was difficult,
in fact, to decide which was more
brilliant the floral arrangements or
the bonnets around the oval table.
Seated on Mrs. Truman's right was
Mrs. Robert A. Lovett, whose hus-
band Is Undersecretary Of State.
On the left of the hostess was Mrs.
Arthur s. Barrows, wife of the Un-
dersecretary of the Air Force. Mrs.
Lovett looked stunning in pearl
gray wool dress with matching
-brimmed hat yelled In wide
gray mesh. Mrs. Barrows' all black
ensemble was relieved by the snow
white feathers on her small high
crowned hat. ....
The Presidents wife wore gold
accessories to brighten her smartly
tailored black crepe gown. She did
not wear hat.
The conversation was varied and
lively as the function got under way.
You could hear politics being dis
cussed, fashions of today sometimes
taken over the Goals. And the ever
popular topic-how to reduce-came
in for quite a share of the talk.
OF course the ladies all praised the
food. It was delicious. Roast duck
Drowned to a turn was served with
sweet potatoes fixed with marsh
mallows, frenched-string beans and
caulifiower au gratin. Then came a
mixed vegetable salad. In keeping
with the conservation food program
no bread or cakes were served. The
little round mold served with rasp-
berry ice looked like a cake, but was
a nut concoction and very delectable
too.
Mrs. Truman had coffee and cigar
cites served (the First Lady doesn't
smoke HERSELF in the red parlor.
She fingered for quite some time to
have an individual chat with all OF
her guests.
Receiving compliments on her
luscious looking hat was Mrs. John
r. Steelman, wife of the Assistant
to the President. 1t was a blue
creation with crushed pale gold
flowers nesting in the high halo
effect.
Mrs. James M. Thomson had on
very fetching costume. With her
brown wool suit, she wore gray
felt hat topped with two lacquered
wings that corresponded with the
color of her suit. The former Miss
Geneyieve Champ Clark, daughter OF
the late Speaker of the House and
Mrs. Champ Clark, Is in town only

That, perhaps, was one reason why
Hoover stayed out of the recent
campaign, even refused to let the
Republicans get campaign ammu-
milton from his Commission files.
Furthermore, Hoover needs Thu
man even more than Truman needs
him. This is Herbert Hoover's last
public service. He has worked
long, hard hours, and he wants this
reorganization of government to be
final monument to his career.
That is why he is leaning heavily
on Truman to rescue his last ef-
forts from defeat. Unless Truman
does so, and gives them a Demo-
cratic label in the new Democratic
Congress, they will have no chance
of passage End Hoover's last ell
fort for his country, his one chance
to stage comeback, will nave
vanished.
