Lawmakers Worry Over What to Wear
To White House Soiree on the 9th
BY Betty Beole

The telephone wires between
Capitol Hill and the White
House have been burning for
the last two weeks. The diff
ficulty is that some Of the law
making gentlemen are in a
tizzy.
First, they didn't want the
full dress White House soiree
in their honor to take place on
the 9th, and secondly, since
it is, they don't want to wear
white tie and tails. The White
House says about one-third Of
Congress had telephoned about
this party.
You'd think that, since it's
Eastertime. women would get
a chance to fuss about their
finery. But. no. they can barely
get a word in edgewise with
the legislators wringing their
hands over what they're going
to wear.
Why are they making such
a to-do over doing what every
body else does naturally? It's
not that they begrudge one
nights rental on a soup and
fish," It's just that when
politician wants to turn his
best face to his constituents.
he'd better not look too hot
from the neck down.
All through history, how
ever. Senators and Represent
atives have donned their
best bib and tucker to pace
the polished floors at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue. Inside
the hallowed halls they are
always safe from the scrutiny
of doubtful constituents. They
can even glance admiringly
into White House mirrors at
the fine figures reflected
therein.
But this year something
went awry. Nobody realized
it at first, but the 9 o'clock
reception falls on the evening
when the United States
Chamber of Commerce stages
its dinners for the Congress-
men of every State. That
means the most important
constituents in the country
will be here. And their prob
able reaction to their Con-
gressmen. beautifully attired
in white tie and tails, step
ping into chauffeur driven
limousines to drive to the
White House, is making the
Congressmen shudder.
First they tried to get the
President to change the date
of the reception but he re-
fused. This jinxed party has
already been postponed four
times-the last time because
of the Puerto Rican shooting.
Everybody has his fingers
crossed now, certain that
something else Is bound TO
happen.
Evening star., 1954-04-18

Next, the gentlemen on
Capitol Hill had their dinners
put up till 6 o'clock so there
would be no conflict. But they
still didn't want to wear tails
to dinner.
Cant we come in black
tie?" they've been asking. The
White House hasn't said "of
course" If it did it would
change a social custom that
goes back into history. It has
passed the word along, how
ever, that If droves Of men
arrive in dinner jackets, let
them in, they belong. Besides.
that's one way of telling who's
the most worried about the
fall elections.
If the weather's super and
business isn't too pressing,
Senators George, Mundt and
Robertson and their wives will
take to the Virginia woods on
May 9. They are among the
over 100 guests invited by
members of the King and
Queen Rod and Gun Club to
the clubs annual shadbake
and oyster roast.
Among the members who
are busy planning fishing and
trapShooting contests midst all
the outdoor eating are the
Spanish Minister and Sonora
de Proper, the Kermit Roose-
velts, Sue and Phil Clarke, the
Bob Portners. Tom and Vir-
ginia Kelly. the Dick Huchin-
sons and Valerie and John dc
Sibour.
The presidents of the League
Of Republican Women and
the Women's National DEM
ocratic Club are going to sit
and hold hands, almost, for
the Goodwill Embassy Tour
on the oath. Mrs. Edmund s.
Kochersperger and Mrs. Oscar
L. Chapman couldn't bury the
hatchet and unite their OPP
posing clubs for a better rea-
son. The Goodwill Industries
give gainful employment to
the lame, the halt and the
blind who have been turned
down everywhere else. They
give men and women back
their souls by proving to them
and the world that the handi-
capped make the best workers.
Actually, Mesdames Koch
ersperger and Chapman will
both stand at the door of the
Dominican Embassy that day
to receive distinguished guests.
That's the embassy. Washing
tons newest, where tea will
be served. The home Of tho
late Miss Mary B. Adams. the
embassy has just been taken
over by the Ambassador and
Sonora de Moya.

Parents of the Late Kathleen Douglass
Will Make the Presentation Tomorrow
By Mary l. Vouqhon

Tuesday, September %, 1880.
Is a memorable date in the his
tory of this country.
On that day, the delivery of
West Point into the hands of
the British was planned by
Benedict Arnold and the Brit
ish spy. Maj. John Andre, at a
secret conference in a Hudson
River hideout.
Within "a hours, however,
the SPY Andre was turned over
to an American Army camp
commander by an alert Amer
lean officer Of the Revolution,
Maj. John Paulding.
According to the legend,
Benedict Arnold was break
fasting with Gen. George
Washington when he received,
via a note. word of Andres
capture. He left the breakfast
table. legend continues, and
promptly fled to the British.
Tomorrow, an antique COL
lection. including personal pos
sessions of Maj. PaNlding, will
be given to the Daughters of
the American Revolution in
memory of a lineal descendent
of the major, the late Miss
Helene Kathleen Douglass of
Alexandria. Va. a member of
the Mount Vernon Chapter

Collection Is Large
The memorial collection,
one of the largest individual
antique collections ever pre-
sented to the OAR museum,
is being given by Miss Doug
lass parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Macdonald Douglass of Alex
andria.
1t includes furniture, silver.
china and jewelry and is
unique in that most of the
articles have been handed
down from generation to gen.
eration from original owners,
many of whom were outstand-
ing American patriots.
Foremost among the items
is an enamel and gold chain
originally given by Napoleon
BOnaparte to his youngest sis
ter. Caroline. The latter mar
ried Gen. Murat and Napoleon
named them King and
Queen of Naples. The chain
was given by Caroline to one
of her close friends. Mrs. Cath
crime Van Rensselaer, Heaton

er of Helene Kathleen Doug

Mrs. Offley's husband was

treaty with that country. A
desk of his Is included in the
collection as well as a silver
beaker inscribed ID. O."
Another interesting object in
the collection Is q pre-Revolu-
tionary gold. silver and pearl
mess kit which belonged origi-
nally to Revolutionary Army
Maj. Samuel Cooper, who mar
ried Miss Mary Horton Of New
burgh at Horton House.
Family history relates Gen.
Lafayette was q house guest
at the time Of the marriage
and when Miss Horizons father
was called away on military
duty, Gen. Lafayette gave the
bride away.
Maj. Cooper was a great
=. grandson of Chief Justice
Samuel Sewell of Massachu-
setts, one of the original
members of the Boston Tea
Party. The major served
on George Washington's staff
and was one Of the organizing
charter members of the So
ciety of the Cincinnati. His
grandfather, the Rev. William
Cooper, was rector of the
Brattle Street Church in BoS-
ton and was elected president
Of Harvard University in 1897.
A magnificent toddy ladle
in the collection belonged to
Miss Douglass great-great-
great-great-grandfather, Rob-
ert Heaton of Barnard Castle.
Durham, England, who came
to America before the Revolu-
ton and was q close friend of
Col. George Mason Of Gunston
Hall, Va.
Voluoble Lowboy
One Of the more valuable
articles Is a Queen Anne low
boy handed down directly
from Miss Douglass fourth
great-grandfather, Capt. John
Douglass Of Philadelphia who
raised and equipped, at his
own expense, a regiment for
the American Revolution.
Capt. Douglass later received
an expression of appreciation
from the Congress and was
personally presented by George
Washington with q pin con-
tanning a snip Of the generals
hair.
Other outstanding items in
the group are two pairs of
Sevres vases Of exquisite col
oring and design, a book mark
made by Nellie Custis Lewis
in the 1830's or 40's at Audley
in Clarke County. Va; and q
prayer book made in 1765 in
Oxford. England, and used by
