Mutual Compliments Exchanged by Debutonte and City

early last week when the debu-
tante parties began.
Miss Rubinstein has been the
houseguest of Mrs. Robert Low
Bacon, a close friend of the fam
lily who accompanied them on the
pianist's South American concert
tour this spring.
Not O Stranger
Both the RubinSteins and their
blond daughter have many friends
here and have visited with Mrs.
Bacon in her home prior to this.
Many will remember the lovely
debutante from her visit two years
ago when as a sweet 16-year -old
she accompanied Mrs. Bacon to
a ball given by Brazilian Ambassa-
dor Nabuco for the President OF
Chile, Gabriel Gonzales Uidela.
She was the belle of the ball.
During this Christmas season

umphs and has captivated the af-

in this field definitely carries over

Mrs. Rubinstein was stunning in
a dress of ash blond satin made
with 'voluminous gored skirt
each panel embroidered with q
dramatic feather design of black
velvet and lace. A wide band Of
black velvet formed the waist Of
the dress and a black lace halter
repeated the lace motif in the
skirt.
Neither the debutante nor her
mother carried bouquets.

Washington was paid a lovely
compliment last evening by famed
pianist Artur Rubinstein and his
charming wife.
Above all the cities in the world
where the Rubinsteins have le-
gions of friends they chose this
city as the most charming and
cosmopolitan in which to present
their daughter, Eva, to society.
And Washington accepted the
compliment with pleasure and
turned out by the hundreds for
the magnificent presentation ball
held at the Sulgrave Club.
The Rubinsteins arrived here
by plane Friday night from their
home in Beverly Hills, Calf, and
must return today. But they have

Mrs. Beo|e's Recognition
BY Italy Is One of Many

In receiving her recent honor
award from Italy, Mrs. Truxtun
Beale has only added another
foreign honor to those al
ready given her. Her outstanding
charitable work in Washington
was when she served as honorary
chairman of the Piccadilly Ar
cade in April, 1941. From this
one sale. which lasted three days.
the British War Relief received
$4,000. OF this amount Mrs.
Beale herself contributed $50 to
make it an even sum.
The chatelaine of Decatur
House, the charming old home of
Stephen Decatur on Lafayette
Square, is a famous hostess in the
Nations Capital. Her parties are
never very large and her guests
are carefully selected. It is only
for cause" that members of the
press are included at parties in the
candle and gas-lit rooms of her
home.
Mrs. Beale has lived in Decatur
House since her marriage to the
late Mr.. Beale early in this CEN
tury. She has cared for it's tradi-
tion and kept its atmosphere as
nearly as possible and restored the
very handsome front door to it's
original beauty. To the interior
she has done little except to keep
lit clean and refresh the paint.
curtains, hangings and upholstery.
The rooms on the ground floor
still have the latrobes installed
during. the Victorian era and the
stairway and halls are lighted by
candles. In the drawing room
on the second floor and the large
dining room adjoining the elab-
crate and beautiful chandeliers of
crystal still burn gas and the rare
old crystal globes sparkle as
brightly as the hanging cut crys-
tails.
Mrs. Beale's latest honor is te
have been made an honorary citi-
zen Of Venice. a reward for hel
help in the raising of funds in
1948 for the rebuilding of the
Basilica of st. Mark. This citizen

Mr.. and Mrs. Private Citizen
may be observing New Years Day
at an open house or an at-home
but there are no official at-homes
scheduled for that day.
Time waS-and not so long ago
as to be forgotten-when not only
the President and his wife but the
Vice President and all members
of the Cabinet received callers on
New Years Day. 1t was a very
pleasant custom as long as Wash
ington residents were compara-
lively small in number but it was
too much for President William
Henry Harrison whose death fol-
lowing his first New Years Day re-
ception was attributed to exhaus-
ton from shaking hands. How
ever, the custom of receiving was
carried out for many years after
that
During World War I the White
House was closed to all visitors
except by appointment and this
was customary through the re-
mainder of President Woodrow
Wilson's administration because of
his illness. Vice President and Mrs.
Thomas Riley Marshall, who took
the place of the President and his
wife in other official entertaining,
held a New Years Day reception
January /. 1921, receiving at the
New Willard Hotel where they
lived. Members of the Cabinet
that year also held open house and
although they were brilliant re-
ceptions there was a note of sad
ness, not only because of the Pres
ident's illness but also his defeat
at the polls the November before.
Assistants Well II-Known
Mrs. Marshall's list of assistants
included two popular Capital host
esSes who still make Washington
