Mrs. RidgWoyHos Many Interests
J Army Chiefs Wife
Likes Painting,
Flowers, Hats
By Isabelle Shelton

Oil paintings, interior decorat-
ing. Japanese flower arrange
ments, photography and clothes
Especially shoes and hats. I'm
crazy about them both. I don't
know which I like BEST" These
are the chief interests Of Mrs.
Matthew B. Ridgway, wife of the
Army Chief Of Staff.
The generals raven-haired
wife was christened Mary Prin-
cess Anthony when she was born
in Warsaw, Va. But almost ever
since, including the years she
was growing up in Silver Spring
and Washington, she has been
known as Penny" The name
was given her by her sister, who
thought her big brown eyes
looked "just like two great big
pennies"
Most of Mrs. Ridgway's in
terestS will be on display, so to
speak, when she and the General
give a reception tomorrow eve
ming for the top Army brass in
the area. It will be their first
large party since they took over
Quarters One. the big rambling
old red brick house at Fort Myer
which traditionally is occupied
by the Army Chiefs Of Staff.
Several examples Of the best
known Of her hobbieS-her oil
painting-have been hung in
the newly decorated quarters.
The decor of the house itself, to
which Mrs. Ridgway has de-
voted much of her time since her
return from Paris this summer,
will interest many of the visitors.
who have been guests there in
the past during the tenure of
previous Chiefs of Staff.
The guests won't have to step
beyond the entrance hallway to
see a striking example of her
Hair for classic Japanese flower
arrangements. An immense s.
foot magnolia branch-looking
like a small tree-appears to be
growing out of a shallow glass
bowl, which in turn rests on a
wrought-iron stand. The bowl,
which is 3 feet in diameter
across the top, was actually in
tended to be the reflector for a
searchlight on a Japanese bat
tleship. How the branch stands
upright in the extremely shallow
saucer-shaped bowl is the gen.
erals wife's special secret
which I tell only my very best
friends" she said with a smile.
Basic structural work, some
what like the renovation of the
White House, though not as ex-
tenSive, had to be done to the old
quarters before Mrs. 'Ridgway
could begin exercising her talent
for interior decorating.
The walls of all the main floor
rooms have been painted the
paleSt shade of grey, and new
pale green carpeting has been
laid in the main rooms. The
drawing room draperies are a
rich, luscious taffeta in a shade
called cedar, which is a rosy
tinged light brown. The main
furniture pieces are upholstered
in a striped satin fabric of the
same cedar, white and olive
green.
The walls of the immense oval
shaped dining room have been
covered with photo murals-im-
mense blowups of familiar West
Point scenes. A 15-foot mirror
covers one part of the wall.
Dearest to Mrs. Ridgway's
heart is the library, done in hot,
tropical shades of red and green,
against the same pale grey walls.

fined mostly to water on the first
floor of the building. No one was
injured and the gasoline pumps
and tanks at the front of the store
