There's almost as much traffic
in the current exchange of gifts
as in their previous purchase.
There are some very satisfied
ladies in town. however, who
wouldn't dream of exchanging
their gifts, and Mrs. Alben Bark
ley is one Of them. Her favorite
present is beautiful inlaid Cir
cassian walnut combination dress
ing case and jewel case that her
husband gave her. The Weep, who
has excellent taste and loves fine
old pieces Of furniture, found this
gift that his wife describes as
exquisite, In an antique shop in
Washington. It Is inlaid with
mother Of pearl.
Actually, at the risk Of sound
ing corny, Jane Barkley said their
best present was having the entire
family together this Christmas,
something they were particularly
grateful for inasmuch as the
Veeps' two eldest grandsons, Max
and Bill Truitt, might easily be
in uniform and far away this
time next year.
Without doubt, says attractive
Emily Foley. her favorite present
is an electric blanket. It's moth
ing short Of heaven sent, she
afirms. Ruth Buchanan's most
received gift Is q large
circle Of alternating diamonds
and emelalds from husband Wiley
who is also pleased as punch
over his Christmas coup of hav-
ing a French chapeau brought
back from Paris for her. At his
request. the First Secretary of the
French Embassy, Jean-Pierre Be-
nard. selected it at Suzy's before
whipping back to the States 10
days ago. It's an intricate beige
cloche that speaks well for jean
Pierre's taste. The latter's wife,
Yvette, will most certainly not
exchange her husbands present
two dresses from Paris, one Dior
model and one Balenciaga! Quel
husband
This is the time when people
are getting ready to take a new
lease on life. but there are q
