 Outstanding Women Present
 Frederick Carr escorted his dig nified and gracious mother, Mrs. Carr.
 The hour of five was fast ap- preaching and we were winding us our notes when in came three of our outstanding community women. First was Mrs. Charles Tribbett. president of the Junior League Club (who gave the sensational play "The Sinister House.") Her natural pancake sailor hat was one of the incest sailors I've seen and, by far, the most sensible, as hats go. On Madame Tribbett it was a dream.
 Mrs. Helene Grant, one of our outstanding grammar school teach CTS and definitely one of the most popular with friends and pupils alike, was second on the list.
 Last, but not least, was Mrs. Louise Jackson, considered by most as New Haven's outstanding thes- plan.
 We hated to see such beautiful affair come to close.
New England bulletin., 1949-05-14


 Upon arriving, we first talked a bit with John W. Lancaster of Bridgeport, who is the Basileus. He is very capable, has a lot of dig nity as we'll as humor. MT. Lan- caster informed us that the pro- ceeds of the afternoon were to go to the scholarship fund for some worthy girl or boy trying to make a way through college. The frat ran bus to Boston Friday for the District meeting which was held at the Mems Business and Profes- sional Club.
 Charming guests at the Lancas- ter table included the lovely Mrs. Lancaster who was wearing pale orchid swingback coat and match ing hat, trimmed with pale yellow roses and green yelling. A set of small furs completed her outfit.
 Also in the party were Mrs. H. J. Cuffee, wife of Father Cuffee, Bridgeport's outstanding minister. Mrs. Reuben and Mrs. Mccall, also of Bridgeport, and two of the most gracious matrons we have met. Others in the party were W. J. Stratton and Thomas Reeves.
 We started to sit down for a bit of refreshment, but before we could get seated comfortably, we heard bubbling laughter coming from the doorway and in walked a bevy of gorgeous-looking ladies. They were led by Mrs. Morris Eaton. She really stopped the show with the stunning black net skull cap hat from which coral pink, sweep feathers cascaded down one side to touch her shoulder. Pink and black featers sat at the top. The creation was well-compliment ed by the wearer's natural beauty. The lady and her party were so busily engaged all afternoon that yours truly did not get to find out who the other beauties were - only that they were more guests from, Bridgeport, which certainly gave a fine account of itself.
 Got To New Havents Own
 We finally got to some of New Haven's own and spotted Mrs. Vii vian Johnson, accompanied by her son, MT. Chubby Johnson, and sis ter, Mrs. Gladys Whitney. It is very hard to believe that so slim and glamorous a person as Mrs. Johnson could be the mother of a hulking, six-foot son.
 On another side of the room we spotted Mrs. William Pitts wearing a lovely white orchid against her fingertip fur jacket and with her was charming creature who did not care to divulge her name. I shall call her the mystery lady. Her silver fox cape was really something.
 To top my list was New Haven's own Mrs. Violet Glover who, as al- ways, was adorable in a tiny or enid hat trimmed with a halo of small flowers and taffetta> orchid ribbon. She also wore a mink cape over her gray, softly-draped suit. By now the place was so crowd ed that it was hard to tell who was who, but soon we found some of our younger matrons having a gay time together in their lovely spring suits, shorties and bonnets. Looking them over we discovered Dorothy Reyes, wife of James Reyes, who is an Omega; Robert Johnson, Celia Phillips, Muriel Carr, Mrs. Maurice Singleton \ V0TT DT~s

 Says
Let Wandering Boy Friend Go

Let Wandering Boy Friend Go
 Dear Sally Landring:
 A year ago I met fine,
 handsome, ambitious young
 man, and he and I fell for
 each other right away. We
 went around together a good
 deal, and then I went away for
 a vacation and decided to stay
 several months. did not write
 to him, and now that am
 back in town, I would like to
 see or hear from him again.
 Mutual friends have told me
 that he has a job in the West,
 and there is no chance for me to run into him casually.
 What can I do? I wrote to.
 him when I first came back,
 but he never answered. That
 sure that if I could see him
 in me.
 FAITHFUL
 It is sometimes hard to under stand what makes young people in love act so perverse. Faithful knew she was interested in this young man, vet she would not even write him when she went away. No won der he lost interest in her or thought that she no longer wanted to be so friendly with him! Any girl who expects a desirable man to sit around and twiddle his thumbs, waiting for her, when she does not even write him a post card to let him know she is inter- ested, does not know anything about human nature.
 The fault is hers for breaking off the friendship through neglect. There is only a dim chance that she might renew the old ties; once gone, love is hard to revive, espe- cially with more than a thousand miles between the parties involved.
 It seems to me that Faithful has done all she can now. A note to him is about as far as she can go With out losing her self-respect: He would have answered her letter IT he really wanted to see her again. She certainly cannot trump up an excuse to go where he is without appearing to chase him; and a man who is pursued so relentlessly will hardly be eaptivated by his pursuer
 Faithful would do we'll to hang on to her self-respect and make sure that she does nothing to make her ashamed later on. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, and there's no point in crying over the one who got away. ..,
 So cross him off your list, Faith full. Make new friends, and hold on to the ones who seem worth while. You'll find another one you can like as we'll.

Mrs. Truman Unchanged By Years AS
First Lady; Puts Family Life First

"She has given the facts about
her-self-from her size-6 shoe
through size-18 dress to the state
ment that she has a permanent
and has worn her hair short for
20 years. Blue, she has stated for
the record, is her favorite color,
and she likes tailored clothes. She
does not buy them at one place
but shops around for them. She
likes very little costume jewelry.
She watches her calories and gets
her exercise from brief walks.
She has no pets and no hob
bies. She does not play bridge or
knit or sew these days. AS a girl
her favorite study was English,
and she particularly liked histori-
cal novels such as the Henty books.
Today she prefers biographies
and mysteries. A great deal of
her reading time is taken up with
newspapers. However, she is a
movie enthusiast, likes the theater
and concerts. She keeps scrap
book of her husbands activities
and of Margaret's. She has none
of her own. She does not keep a
diary.
Both the Trumans were around
so years old when Harry came to
Washington as United States SEN
ator from Missouri. The pattern
of their living had already been
fixed in good middle-American
terms. And Margaret is still their
greatest joint pride-a girl who,
after living in the White House
for four years, is perhaps less
spoiled than any other young
person who has ever lived there.
Beyond social ceremonies Mrs.
Truman has business Office and
job to do in it every morning,
answering a mass of official and
semiofficial mail, sensible mail and
silly mail too. And when she has
finished doing that she can have
luncheon, but maybe even that
with visitors from London or Los
Angeles.
There is a period in the after
noon which she calls personal,
but it only provides time for writ
ing letters to friends in longhand,
getting a glimpse of old friends
and tending to her own increasing
personal affairs.
Fortunately there are some
evenings when the Trumans can
be alone together or with old and

Washington Grove
Mrs. James Schroeder
Gaithersburg 442

A public meeting was held last
week in the Grove to discuss the
question of a summer theatre and
a summer recreation program. The
group decided to ask the Town
Council for permission to have
three nights week for the theatre
and three nights for recreation, to
be supported by public subscript-
ion. George Pugh is the committee
chairman of the recreation and
Jack Salamanca will probably dir
ect the proposed theatre work. Mr..
Salamanca has been connected with
the Roadside Theatre and the Olney
Theatre, has worked in New York
and is planning to spend the COM
ing winter in Paris studying this
type of work.
Mrs. Norman Lynn and her
daughters, Norma and Trillias, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Phillips and
their daughters Judy and Bethesda,
spent last weekend in Vineland,
N. J. where they visited Mrs.
Lynn's grandmother, Mrs. Rachel
c. Wilson.
Miss Emma Cornes of Washing
ton was the weekend guest of Mrs.
Raymond Jackson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Christie
spent Sunday in Bethesda with Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Christie, Jr., and
attended Susan Alexandra Chris
ties birthday party. Sue had two
candles on her birthday cake.
Mrs. Wilmer Ulmer is in George
town Hospital following an opera
ton. She will not return to her
classes at Gaithersburg High
School until after the Easter vaca-
ton.

Bess Truman, now in her fifth
spring in the White House, is
lady unchanged by the experience
and determined to stay the way
she is. Quiet, shy and the staunch
guardian of her family's privacy,
she is an invaluable adviser to her
husband, a loyal friend, and an
informed observer of world af-
fairs, says Jonathan Daniels, who
knew the Trumans then and now.
Writing about the lady from In
dependence, in McCall's for April,
he answers all the usual ques-
tions about her and gives you rare
insight into the courage and de-
termination underneath her I'M
assuming manner:
Certainly nothing is so char
acteristic of Bess Truman as the
quizzical smile of a woman who
expects the incredible but intends,
if possible, TO be amused by it.
Many who have been aware of her
shyness apparently have not sus-
pected her easy courage and stub
born devotion. Sometimes they
have even mistaken her integrity
for inadequacy. Of course, such
people fail to understand that Bess
Truman (born Elizabeth Virginia
Wallace) is lady unchanged by
the White House and determined
to remain always what she is.
"The best background for a
portrait of the lady in the White
House today is the scene upon
which Mrs. Truman first arrived
in residence as First Lady and
which she occupies as First Lady
now. That is Blair House. Its per-
feet furniture is collection of
antique pieces such as folk like
Mrs. Truman ancestors carried
with them to Independence, Mis-
souri,.
Mrs. Truman has never held
press conference, but she holds
informed opinions on the world,
and her part in it is as clear as
her monosyllables. In the White
House she has performed the
major miracle of preserving a
quiet private life in the midst of
difficult public role. She has rec
ognized, however, that the privacy
of the wife CT President must
be relative and can sometimes
best be maintained by stopping
curiosity short with short, clear
answers.
