Six hundred Capitalites

paralyzed yesterday (if they
felt like me) from greeting,
smiling, waving, reaching,
jostling, squeezing by and
finally dancing till 3 o'clock in
the morning at Perle Mesta's
memorable party the night be-
fore. You can't say people
didn't come and things didn't
happen.
AS one of Perle's friends
commented to the hostess,
"You don't just give a party,
you put on a production" Ac-
tually, Perle had more talent
there than she had time to
call on.
Handsome singer Phil Re-
gan, who. twas rumored,
sought the post Of ambassa-
dor to Ireland under the DEM
ocratS, emceed the "show"
part of this party. He started
off by telling the assemblage,
you're acting real nice and
quiet: in fact. you're acting
like a bunch of Republicans"
He was right cause there was
a bunch of Republicans there.
This was a two-party party.
Drink up the champagne"
he added, "some Democratic
money hasn't been spent yet"
Then turning toward the Chief
Justice, he said, II voted for
a good Republican-Democrat,
Earl Warren" and he dedi-
Gated his next song to him.
Glamorous Celeste Holm
slipped into something more
comfortable before the eve
ming was over-i.e. a short,

first she appeared in a beauti-
full, bouffant, white trailing
gown and sang an amusing
song about the thoughts Of a
strip-teaser as she stripped,
then she sang You're Young
in Heart" and dedicated it to
Perle MeSta.
More melodies were rendered
by beauteous young Janet
Blair who washed her hair hun
dreds of times as Nellie Forbush

she said, she had been named

Only slightly less atomic
and uninhibited than Ethel
Norman was English stage
star Billie Worth when she and
her husband, Donald Burr,
rendered some of the best
songs from Call Me Madam"
in which they played the lead
roles in London for two years.
Few people in the huge
room heard them. but Italian
Ambassador and Signora Tar
chiani sang a private duet for
their table. When the strolling
gypsy musicians came their
way, they gave voice to the
Neapolitan charmer, "Aname
Core" for the benefit of Ad-
miral and Mrs. Carney who
used to live in Naples.
Gwen Cafritz wasn't at the
party, in person but she was
there in spirit at one point in
the evening. When Hank Fort
had swung into her new song,
Protocol" she suddenly came
to the verse in which she de-
scribed how her very first mis-
take was at a party, when she
met the famous Mrs. Mesta
and called her Gwen, and later
was so confused by the social
whirl that when she met Mrs.
Cafritz she called her Perle.
The hostess grinned when she
heard that one.
Deenie Rumbough and Jane
Wheeler were making like

young socialites were covering
the party from one end to the

Society News

The Honorable haudI JOuu1-
blatt, Member of the Parliament
of Lebanon, got real taste OF
American informality. He prob
ably didn't expect it to happen
in a town full of officials. diplo-
mats and socialites.
The occasion was a party given
in his honor Saturday evening by
the Ambassador Of Lebanon and
Mrs. Malik. Never was there a
receiving line, as such. Either
the Ambassador or his wife was
near the drawing room entrance
when guest arrived. Whoever
greeted the guest made a point of
rounding up the honor guest.
Sometimes he was near by, some
times across the room.
Several hundred guests, rep
resenting Congress, the various
government departments, chiefs
Of Arab and other Asiatic Mis-
sions, and members Of the COM
munity Of Americans of Leba-
nese origin were in the gathering.
Come In Moy
Kamal Joumblatt arrived in
New York on May 19 and is a
guest of the United States Gov
ernment. He expects to spend
one month meeting American
people and officials, visiting
different parts of the country
and learning about various social
projects.
When Associate Justice William
o. Douglas arrived Saturday
evening he told his hosts he had
brought along a couple he was
anxious to have meet the honor
guest. Associate Justice and Mrs.
Harold Burton, dressed in eve
ming clothes, also stopped by.
Senator j. William Fulbright
was in animated conversation
with Kamal Joumblatt and con-
tinued talking for some time
even though Mrs. Fulbright had
by then made her way to the
tempting buffet. At the same
time this was going on, Senator
Homer Ferguson was equally
earnest while talking to DR..
Malik.
Moving Like Circus
The hostess, wearing a lovely
beige lace and tulle dress that
matched the brocade silk walls
in the drawing room where they
received, said they were plan
ming to stay in Washington most
of the summer. Explaining she
stated, president Truman once
said that moving the President
was like moving a circus and it
would be the same thing with
our baby" She did add though
that they might get away few
week ends.
In asking Mrs. Malik about
the Lebanese painting, which
showed the country to be very
mountainous, she said they were
all done by Lebanese artists.
How does their climate compare
with ours? Theirs is much
colder in the winter, with lots
of snow, she said, but they have
four definite seasons and I'VE
think the climate is perfect"
Getting back to the buffet
which the minute the signal was
given resulted in a shift of the
crowds from the drawing rooms
to the dining room-it was won
derful. Two whole lambs,
stuffed with rice, were at either
end of the table. Both were
quickly trimmed down to baby
size.
Two Doys Of Preparation
Okra and string beans with
lamb cubes and tomato sauce,
stuffed graped leaves, shrimp
and rice fixed in Lebanese style.
and fish covered with a sauce
and pine nuts were a few of the
native dishes the chef spent two
days preparing for the occasion.
A few of the others enjoying
the Maliks' hospitality were Sen
ate Majority Leader Knowland,
Senator John Sparkman, Repre-
sentative Edith Nourse Rogers,

Department and Afghanistan

can contact any of these, and
receive kit of instructions. After
she has been accepted as a sales
representative, she will receive
either samples or photographs of
the merchandise, and then she's
ON her own.
Housewives doing direct selling
in their spare time can earn from
$40 to $50 a week., say executives
of the industry. And there are
instances of some who have
earned from $4,000 to $25, 1000 a
year-this, of course, on a full
time basis.
The women sell everything from
cosmetics to dresses, from house
wares to stockings. Almost always
they work among their own
friends.
And when they've earned that
new refrigerator or that college
education, they usually take a
vacation until the next emergency
comes along.

Women
By Dorothy Roe
AP Women's Editor

A common. characteristic of to,
days women is that they never
have enough money.
No matter how much their hus
bands earn, it never seems to be
quite enough. Mary needs her
teeth fixed. Johnny wants a new
bicycle. The kitchen needs remod
cling. Henry'S going to college
and goodness knows where the
tuition is going to come from.
Some wives react to financial
emergencies by nagging their hus
bands.
Some meet the problem with
new commissioning macaroni
instead Of steak and making over
last years hat.
But there are thousands who
have found a more practical way
out of their difficulties. They pitch
in and earn the needed extra
amount.
These women make up the ma.
jority of an @rmy of about mil
lion direct salespeople who sell
from three to seven billion dollars
worth of goods annually in this
country on door-to-door basis
I'm not speaking now of the
one out Of every three married
women in the country who have
regular jobs. / mean the women
who have to stay at home to take
care of children, run their homes
and do all their own homework,
who nevertheless manage to add
to the family income whenever
necessary.
The men who run the firms
which depend on direct selling say
us. housewives are the world
best sellers-especially when they
have a definite goal.
When Mrs. Jones is trying to
get the money for new washing
machine, she's the equal of the
most high-powered salesman en-
pioyed by the biggest corporation
in the country.
Leaders of the direct selling
industry say this method of sales
is increasing steadily.
Any woman who has a circle Oh
friends~in her own community is
a potential success story in the
direct selling field, say these men
Many firms advertise in local
newspapers and in women's serv-
ice magazines for sales represen-
tatives. A woman interested in a
part-time or full-time selling job

DR.. F. NJ. McCluskey, a first cou-

This being DR.. McCuskey'S first
visit to Key West since he was a

vast improvement in The city, yet
he expressed disappointment over
the absence of the quaint charm of
old Key West as he remembered
it.

Girl Scout Film,
At High School
Thursday Night

What started out as troop pro.
ject has become community wide
affair, and intermediate Troop IS,
sponsored by the Key West Won
ans Club, is inviting all Girl
Scouts, Brownie Scouts, their pa.
rents, leaders, friends and anyone
who is interested in Girl Scouting
to see color movie, 'The Story
of Girl Scouting" which will be
shown at the high school auditor
ium at 1880 p. m. Thursday, March
Is.
There will be no admission char
ged for the movie, which has been
loaned to Troop Is through the
courtesy of the Dade County Girl
Scout Council.
With the. recent organization of
the Florida Keys Girl Scout Coun-
Gil, interest in Girl Scouting in
Monroe County is at a new high,
and it is hoped that clubs and or
CARNATIONS interested in sponsor
ing a Girl Scout Troop will be rep
resented at the movie.
There are many girls in the area
who would like to be Girl Scouts,
but most of the troops have wait
ing lists, although several new
troops have been organized recent
ly.

the Florida Keys Council is Mrs.
Fernando Camus.

When the play went to Boston,
a city celebrated for the rigor Of
its theatrical censorship, Joshua
Logan and Leland Hayward, the di
rector and producer, went to that
city personally in advance of the
opening and spoke with the mayor.
They promised to cut out all pro-
fame references to the Deity. Then
they appealed to the mayor in the
name of G. l. humor to let them
keep three rather broad physiolo-
gical references. He consented and
"Mister Roberts" played Boston
for 81 weeks without any fuss.
In Albany, however, boycott of
the play was urged by church
group which said that the dialo-
que was "crammed with ribald,
lewd and blasphemouS language. "
Such entertainment, it added,
"should be resented by all right
thinking people" Despite this at
tack, the play drew full houses
throughout its engagement.
Despite objections made against
it, the play has received the APP
proval of its most conscientious
Scrutinizers, the critics. All of
them have found its language
earthly but honest and its situations
bawdy but true to life, stating, in
part, "the language and the situa-
tons are extremely frank, but there
is never feeling that the frank
ness is meant as senSationaliSm'
."often rough in speech, but
not Extensively so, for the talk is
real and not lugged in. sit
should be instructive and not shock
ing to your Aunt Minnie"
The view that the dialogue and
situations, however strong and ra-
cy they may be, actually resemble
the way sailors spoke and acted
aboard ship, is one that has pre-
vailed wherever the play has been
performed. They provide the real
ism without which. mister Rob-
erts" would have been a pale and
