Social Schedule in Chicago to Be Full;
Presidential Bypioy at Porty Is Noted
By Betty BeoIe

This time next week, all eyes
will be on Chicago and about
half the feet in Washington
will be pounding its pavements.
Whether those pavements will
be sizzling or cool, only the
Lord knows. Apparently you
have to be prepared for any,
thing from August to March
weather in Chicago where it can
drop from one to the other in
. half hour.
Mark Twain once said that
whenever he was in Chicago in
the summer and was going to
leave the hotel for more than
20 minutes. he took the follow
ing articles with him: A fur
coat. a linen duster, palm leaf
fan and ear muffs.
Republicans will embark on
a busy social schedule upon
their arrival, so dress-up clothes
are being carted to the con-
vention. A purely social affair
is the label given the national
chairman'S customary big din
ner Saturday night at the Uni
versity Club. Guy Gabrielson
will entertain all los national
committeeman and women for
the sole purpose of relaxing and
having fun, so they say. which
doesn't mean of course that
they won't talk shop all the
time. But that's fun to a ma
tional committeeman.
A 3 to S reception Saturday
will honor Senator and Mrs.
Everett Dirksen and Republican
nominee for Governor of Illi-
nois William Stratton and his
wife.
Presidential Candidate and
Mrs. Robert Taft and Republic
can Keynoter and Mrs. Douglas
Macarthur will be the impor-
tant guests of honor at a lunch
con Sunday to be given by Col.
and Mrs. Robert Mccormick at
their show place at Wheaton,
Ill.
Mrs. Oswald Lord. leader Of
the women for Eisenhower. will
entertain twice on Sunday. She
will give a business-like lunch
con for representatives of the
non-partisan women's organi-
cations who are attending the
convention as observers, and
she will toss a S to 7 reception
for Eisenhower supporters that
afternoon at the Conrad Hilton.
The Taft people will stage a
similar party at the same time.
Both will come right on the
heels Of Assistant Republican
Chairman Mrs. Clifford Mayes'
3 to 5 reception at the Casino
Club.
On Monday women delegates
will be treated to breakfasts and
style shows by three of the lead
ing Chicago stores. On Tuesday
Mrs. Joseph harrington, presi-
dent of the National Federation
Of Republican Women, will be
feted at a 2 to 4 party. And on
Wednesday Illinois Committee
woman Bertha Bauer. conven-
ton hostess, and her gentleman
counterpart, Werner Schroeder,
will be joint hosts at a cocktail
party in his home for the ma
tional committee and distin-
guished guests. And so it goes.
A lady Democrat spoke to
President Truman at a party
the other evening and by way
Of giving him her endorsement,
spoke with some temerity. "Mr.
President" she observed, II
have always said that whatever
mistakes you might make, they
would not be mistakes of the
heart"
The President looked up
quickly with raised broWs and
said, But a President isn't
supposed to make any mis-
takes"
"Oh. I didn't say you made
any" she retorted so hastily
they both laughed. "but if you
did it wouldn't be because your
hearts not in the right place."
"You know who doesn't make
any mistakes?" asked Mr.. Tru-
man with direct seriousness.
mo. who?" she asked. 1.-THE
man who never says anything"
replied the President with firm
flnality. 'Or does anything"
added the lady in agreement.
