II do not intend to go to Europe
this year at ALL" said Margaret
Truman yesterday over the tele-
phone from New York. And I
would be very glad If you would
put that in the paper so as to
straighten the matter out" added
the Presidents daughter, who has
been suspected of harboring all
kinds of secret summer plans ever
since she cancelled her scheduled
Robin Dell concert.
The latest story that she would
tour Europe in the late summer
or early fall and would include a
visit with Mrs. Perle Mesta at
Luxembourg is not true, Margaret
says. Il have commitments that
will keep me here right through
December" said the hardworking
young concert singer, who ex-
planned that that took care of this
year and in 1851 she has concerts
booked through April. After that
she doesn't know what her plans
will be. But if I should go over
next year, I would of course visit
Perle," continued the Chief Execu-
tive's favorite daughter. And there
seems to be no question in Mar
garet's mind that Mrs. Mesta
will still be on the job in Luxem-
bourg next year.
AS for summer vacation, Mar
garet was packing up to leave yes
terday for the Truman home in
independence, Mo-, where, both
her mother and grandmother are
now. She'll have 10 days of re-
Taxation with friends in the old
home town before returning to
New York and the difficult task
of making her first records. She'll
be coming down to Washington
for week ends through the balance
of the summer, but with her
schedule of study, practice, etc.,
she usually can't get down before
Saturday and she has to leave

Margaret Truman Bursts Summer Run1ors;
Cissie Potterson's Effects to Be Sold

Sunday evening. In october she
will go on tour, in November re-
turn to New York and in Decem-
ber give several more concerts, in
Guiding her Washington one on
December 5 Far from being on
the secret side. it would appear
that Margaret's life is an open
book.
Washington socialiteS and the
just plain curious who invariably
are interested in the furnishings
of famous homes will crowd
a local auction house next
Wednesday and Thursday for a
look at some of the belongings of
the late Mrs. Eleanor Patterson
The effects, which will be auc-
toned at special sale the follow
ing Friday and Saturday, are
among those "Cissie" left tc
her daughter. Countess Felicia
Gizycka. They have just recently
been moved out of the Dupont
Circle mansion, which was the
scene of many lavish parties, was
once the temporary residence OF
President Coolidge and which Mrs
Patterson left to the American
Red Cross.
There's nothing that lures the
public so as the personal belong
ings of a fabulous character such
as the amazing, unpredictable Cis-
sic Patterson. There also will be
plenty of old friends of hers on
hand when the gavel bangs on
F'riday-the day the best of the lot
will be sold. If they want to own
something that once was Cissie's
they'll have their choice of a pair
of biSque SevreS mantel clocks,
Meissen vases, antique French and
English pieces of furniture, rugs,
paintings. etc. Probably the best
of the rugs is a Fereghan, the
best of the paintings an early
18th century portrait of the
Countess of Carlisle.

Some one has asked me: rs 1t
acceptable to serve beverages in
their cans at parties?"
The beverage can is entirely ac-
ceptable at most parties. You
don't drink out Of the can. Of
course, any more than you would
out Of any other container, ex-
cept perhaps at picnic.

Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
frequently refers to our l6-year-
old son away at prep school. as
my boy" I don't think this Is
good form and that he should say
my son" or even John" He
thinks I'm always censuring him
needlessly, SO I'd like to be backed
up by you.
Answer: There is nothing wrong
with saying my boy" I suppose
he is an only son, otherwise he
would be saying my boy John" or
my boy George"

which are more complicated than
your examples of Jones and

Answer: Unhappily. outside of

out of favor and there is nothing
