Mrs. Mesto

MIR. and Mrs. Max O'Rell Truitt
entertained at dinner last evening
in honor of the United States Min
lister to Luxembourg, Mrs. Perle
Mesta.
Mrs. Truitt's father, Vice Presi-
dent Barkley, and her brother-in-
law and sister. Mr.. and Mrs. Doug
las Macarthur II, were among the
40 present at the gathering which
included a number of Capital Of
ficials.
Wearing asbeautiful grey tulle
full-skirted gown embroidered
with pink sequins, the Vice Presi-
dents official hostess greeted her
guests at 8 o'clock in the drawing
room of their Wyoming avenue
home. Yellow and white gladio-
luses, roses and asters lent bright
flashes of color to the setting.
Dinner was served in the gar
den to the tune of Sidney's music
which kept things lively all eve
ming. The guests were seated at
five tables of eight each. Japa-
nese lanterns were strung from
the canopy overhead so if the rain
came it wouldn't make any DIFF
ference. Mrs. Truitt said she had
stopped trying to count on the
weather, and wasn't taking any
chances,

And Some Hints for WouId-Be Tourists

chiefs of other foreign missions.
The only countries maintaining
legations there. however, besides
our own. are France, Great
Britain. Belgium, Italy and the
Netherlands.
They say that there aren't many
cocktail parties in the capital of
the Grand Duchy. The accent
seems to be on luncheons, dinners,
receptions and balls. How gay the
parties are this columnist hasn't
heard, but I am willing to bet
Perle Mesta will add considerable
pep to them. She believes all her
guests should relax and have a
good time at a party and she's
never been known to give a dull
one.
The American Legation was
once the German Legation, was
bought by the United States about
a year ago. It is not yet entirely
furnished, which is one Of the
things Mrs. M. will have to attend
to as soon as she arrives. She will
have time to get number of
things done before she presents
her credentials to Grand Duchess
Charlotte as the latter will be
away until sometime in October.
The main rooms on the first
floor of the residence are the
library. the dining room which
seats about 18 at its oval table,
and the large salon which is done
thus far in white and gold. Gold
draperies embellish the white
walls and the furniture is white
and gold or gold and cream-col-
ored. It has sound of elegance
and formality. On the second
floor there are four bedrooms,
ranging from master to small size
and an upstairs sitting room. On
the third floor are more bedrooms
and servants rooms.

Since Perle Mesta says she has
invited just about everybody in
the United States to come to
Luxembourg. it may interest the
would-be travellers to know what
they will find at the end of the
line.
First of all they need to take
warm clothes with them. Even in
the summer time it is not hot
within the confines of the little
monarchy and the rest of the
time tweeds and sweaters are god
sends. Walking shoes of the
sturdy variety are practically a
necessity because of the cobbled
sidewalks, and rain clothes are a
must because it doth seem to
precipitate about 180 days a year.
The new evening gown in which
our Minister to Luxembourg poses
in a forthcoming issue of Vogue
will doubtlessly need to be topped
by a fur stole in chilly Luxem-
bourg houses. The pale, grey-blue
faille taffeta is appliqued around
the waist and decollete neckline
with iridescent mother of pearl
paillettes, will look very pretty
for palace functions worn with
the required long, above-elbow
white gloves. But for comfort in
the less heated Luxembourg
houses, warm evening clothes are
an asset.
And formal evening attire is
donned in Luxembourg City, with
it's population of $4,000, just about
as often as it is in this gay Capital
of ours. Official party life is con-
tinuous, what with the entertain
ing at the palace, by the Prime
Minister, Foreign Minister, other
government heads, and prominent
residents, not to mention the

cial honor guest of the hour,
turned the tables last night. Inr
stead of being number one guest
at a formal dinner he, himself,
was host at brilliant dinner and
reception. His honor guest was
President Truman, who the eve
hing before had feted the visitor
from across the Pacific at an
equally interesting social event.
Following President Quirino's
dinner in the Federal room OF the
Hotel Statler, his Ambassador, Mr..
Joaquin M. Elizalde. took over the
role of host and gave a large and
lavish reception for his President.
Mrs. Truman joined our Chief
Executive for the reception and
they remained only a short time,
chatting with the visiting officials
and the dinner guests whose wives
also met them for the reception.
The two Presidents and the
Ambassador greeted the dinner
guests in the South American
room where cocktails and hors
d'ouevres were served. The long
U-shaped table in the Federal
room was decorated with low
mounds of Picardy gladioluses,
purple liatris and vari-colored
pompons. About the walls were
tall Oregon ferns and in back OF
the chairs for the host and honor
guest were the flags OF their
countries. AS the guests were be-
ing greeted and during the din
ner, Julian and his orchestra
played spirited airs.
Members of President Truman's
Cabinet who attended the dinner
were the Secretaries of State, De-
fense, Interior and Labor, Mr..
Dean Acheson, Mr.. Louis A. john
son, Mr.. Julius A. Krug and Mr..
Maurice Tobin.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
of the Foreign Relations Commit

who were present were Senator

Lucas, Senator George w. Malone,
Senator Karl Stefan. and Senator
Kenneth S. Wherry. Former
Speaker of the House, Represent
ative Joseph w. Martin, jr., was
the only representative of the
Lower House in the company and
a former member of the legisla-
tive body, Mr.. Jasper Bell, also
was there.
The United States Ambassador
