How a Democratic ID" got in
there I wouldn't know. since
President Pierce had no more
middle initial than he had
fame.
A letter from Assistant Sec
retary of Defense Seaton now
makes me blush with pride.
Enclosing a "factually correct"
record "okayed by the Honor
able Thomas E. Stephens. Ma
tional President of TFSaDot-
FoMaMFP, and myself, as In
ternational President" he
writes as follows:
Acting on the assurances Of
fellow-members of the trade
that you won't be inclined to
toss a case of type at me, am
writing this letter for the pur-
pose of bringing to your atten-
ton what were, I ON sure,
wholly unintentional inaccura-
cies in your recent account Of
the Friendly Sons and Daugh-
ters of the Friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin Pierce.
This letter also provides me
the opportunity to invite your
affiliation with the organiza-
ton as President of The Eve
ming Star Chapter. Both Mr..
Stephens and myself are
sure you meet at least two Of
the major qualifications for
membership, to wit: Cd You
have committed a mistake
even though through no fault
of your own. and (2) in your
distinguished career as a jour-
nalist you certainly must have
been misunderstood. We are
not quite sure that you feel
sorry for yourself (third quail
fication) when you are mis-
understood-that is, that you
"bleed easily" but we are will
ing to waive that point.
I'm the fervent hope that I
have not unintentionally Of
Tended you, but rather have
you understand that I am SIM
ply trying to welcome you into
membership of one of the
worlds outstanding organiza-
tions, I am, Sincerely yours.

Society News
By Doisy cIeIond

Mrs. Eisenhower entertained
at a luncheon yesterday and
protocol was, thrown to the
winds. The Presidents wife's
party was for the wives of the
members Of the Supreme Court,
the Cabinet and the little Cab
met"
The event took place at
o'clock at the White House and
the 81 guests were seated at one
E shaped table but not accord
ing to their husbands rank. In
fact the party almost turned in
to farewell luncheon.
The two ladies who were
seated next to the hostess are
both leaving the Nations Capt.
tai and official life. On Mrs.
Eisenhower's right was Mrs.
Joseph M. Dodge, wife of the
former Director of the Budget.
and on her left was Mrs. Roger.
M. Keyes, whose husband was
formerly the Deputy Secretary
of Defense.
The hostess felt that when you
follow protocol all the time you
see and sit next to the same peo-
pie. She wanted tc know better
some of the ladies who would
normally be seated. at distance
from her. and believed that the
other high ranking wives would
feel the same.
Guests were greeted by Mrs.
Eisenhower in the Blue Room.
She wore a navy blue organza
frock but the color scheme of
the luncheon was her favorite
color-pink. There was a pro-
fusion Of rosey snapdragons and
roses on the table.
The table was set just as it is
for a State dinner with the ex-
Ception that the silver service
was used and not the gold one.
Candle light only was used
throughout the State dining
room. Coffee was served after
lunch in the East Room.
There were A Assistant Secre-
taries wives at the party as we'll
as Mrs. Earl Warren, wife of
the Chief Justice of the United
States; Mrs. Richard Nixon. Mrs.
Nelson Rockefeller, Mrs. Charles
Hook, Mrs. Simon Sobolof, wife
of the new Solicitor General;
Mrs. Roland R. Hughes, wife of
the new Director of the Budget,
and Mrs. Arthur S. Flemming.
Others were Mrs. Robert Ste
vens, Mrs. Harold E. Talbot,
Mrs. Charles S. Thomas, all the
cabinet wives except Mrs.
Charles E. Wilson, all the Su-
preme Court wives except Mrs.
Felix Frankfurter, Welfare Sec
retary Oveta Culp Hobby. Mrs.
Lewis Strauss. Mrs. Struve Hen
sci. Miss Bertha Adkins, Mrs.
Allan Dulles and Mrs. Arthur
Byrnes.
Hostess Absent
Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Carroll
Graves gave their annual spring
reception yesterday but unfor-
tunately without a hostess. Mrs.
Graves was indisposed with a
bad cold and sore throat.
The party took place from
$3.50 to 7:3O at the hosts Fox
hall road residence. About 700
guests were expected and in
cluded representatives from all
the different groups of society.
The refreshments were nu-
merous and varied. There were
three bars, and in addition there
was tea, coffee, cakes, sand
wiches and canapes. A very
popular spot was the table that
had mound of. fresh strawber-
rieS and powdered sugar.
Among those pouring tea yes

muno, wife of the former Costa
Rican Ambassador; Mrs. Lemuel

Yard stands high. 1t is the

tives and policemen. .
Like many other names in
England, this one has q round
about history. During the Mid
die Ages a small palace was built
in London as a kind Of hotel for
Scottish kings and queens who
came for q visit. People spoke
about this palace area as Scot
land Yard" In particular. the
name was used for the street
which ran In front Of the palace.
When o Scottish king became
the ruler Of England and Scot
land together. he moved to Lon
don. Ruling under the name Of
James ]. he lived In palaces
which the first Queen Elizabeth
had occupied.
Two centuries passed, and then

Word to the WISE 8, Mrs.. From. Cobb,

A reader wants to know the
meaning of "self words" The
English language contains 10
of them.
They are: Myself, thyseh,
yourself, yourselves. ourselves.
herself, himself, itself. oneself
and themselves.
Self-words serve two purposes:
They add emphasis and they
direct action toward the indi-
vidual.
Examples: I myself am to
blame. This sentence is more
emphatic than II am to blame" I"
He blamed himself for the
error. The self-word, himself,
directs action toward the one
who made the error.

above question from Mrs. j. D. F.
I scurried to my source books
for information about the "guya-
nousa." found it to be a most
fascinating bit Of American
folklore.
The 'guyanousa" was an
imaginary animal that thrived
before the Civil War. 1t was de-
scribed in Knickerbocker Maga-
zine in 1846 as a monster of
gigantic proportions inhabiting
the tallest branches of the pop
lar" in territory east Of the
Penobscot River in Maine. This
area, at that time, was claimed
both by the British and the
United States.
During that same period, pro-
| moters toured the rural areas
and charged admission to see a
captured "guyanouSa."
AS soon as the paying crowd
had assembled In the tent. the
promoters would rush from the
beasts supposed den and shout,
'The guyanousa is loose!" The
customers would flee Tor their
lives. and the promoters would
move to another town - their
pockets jingling with the gate
money.

OF course, the necessity for
q play Of that kind does come
up now and then. 1t did in
today's hand, and Mrs. Fusty,
the old-fashioned player, didn't
overlook it.
AS you see, Mr.. Dale could
have made three no-trump
against the expected spade
opening, winning six clubs, two
spades and a heart. However,
II Mr.. Abel had happened to
open a heart. the result would
have bsen something less than
satisfactory.
The way Mrs. Fusty played
her five-club contract. it was
cold against any opening lead.
Mr.. Heinsite chose to open his
singleton spade and the key play
for the contract was right here
at trick one. As usual. Mrs.
Fusty did not touch that first
card in dummy until she had
completely planned her play.
On the surface it appeared
she had everything under con-
troll and the only losers were
the minor suit aces. But she
looked below the surface and
saw the danger there.
If she won in her hand with
the ace of spades and led a
trump. undoubtedly Mr.. Abel
would win with the ace of clubs
and return a spade. And now
II Mr.. Heinsite were out of
spades Ca strong probability. he
would ruff for the setting trick.
What about discarding the
four of spades on dummy's ace
of hearts? A fine idea. except
that there was no way to reach
dummy at trick two.
Mrs. Fusty made the only
right play to bring in IL tricks
on the hand. She won the first
trick in dummy with the king
Of spades. Then she led dummy's
ace Of hearts and discarded her
ace Of spades on 1t.
Next she led a club and Mr.
Abel was in with the ace. AS
expected, he returned a spade.
But it was too late. Mrs. Fusty
ruffed with the king Of clubs.
led the queen Of clubs and then
spread the hand. conceding a
trick to the ace Of diamonds.
