The greatest change in WASH
ington society over the past half
century has been "the increase
in familiarity-the casual use of
first names. even for strangers, "
according to Miss Katharine M.
Brooks, who retired this week
after 81 years of covering the
social scene in the Nations
Capital.
Everybody uses first names
now," Miss Brooks observed.
Even people who have never
met them talk about Eleanor
and 'Bess' and Mamie and
'Perle.' We, wouldn't have
dreamed of doing that when I
was growing up.
Asked which was the most
memorable party she recalled
among the thousands she at
tended, Miss Brooks said almost
any party in the White House u
The pomp and ceremony of
such occasions have never failed
to move her, down to the last
one she covered-the Eisenhow-
er's reception this season for the
diplomatic corps.
Her first White House recep-
ton, to which she tagged along
with her mother, a society re-
porter before her, was particu-
larly exciting.

ard Taft's administration. The
receiving line was over, and Mrs.
Taft had gone upstairs. The
President stayed downstairs,

Band members pick up their
chairs and move into the East
Room. Soon the President was
leading the first dance with Miss
Mabel Boardman Qater long
time secretary of the American
Red Cross. He was a big man,
but he was light as a feather on
his feet.
1T was the first time there
had ever been dancing in the
East Room after big reception,

The other reporters already had
left, and mother scooped the
world on it,"
Both of Miss Brooks parents
were reporters. Her father, the
late Hobart Brooks, represented
groups of newspapers in Connec-
ticut and California. Her mother,
Kate Scott Brooks. now 90, a
niece of President Benjamin
Harrison. covered society and
music for a succession of Wash
ington papers and supplied So
ciety news to a string of out-of-
town papers as well.
