and promptly wrote a note to
the president of Sweet Briar
asking that Jill be excused. She
had missed those classes, he said.

suits Of the note haven't been
determined yet. but the odds
are that the president of Sweet
Briar will yield to the Presi-

Jill win be excused.
Flocks Of familiar faces turned
up at the Gallery for the first
Prado- loaned exhibit to ever
come to this country. The Dr.
rector Of the Gallery and Mrs.
David Finley were there, with
the Spanish Ambassador and
Countess de Motrico In tow. The
Ambassador was most instru-
mental in arranging for the
Goya drawings and prints to be
exhibited here. The exhibit, Of
course, was the reason for their
follow-up party later in the aft
ernoon.
The prints and drawings filled
four rooms but unfortunately
there were no signs indicating
in which chronological order the
pictures were executed. The more
fortunate had Annemarie Pope
Of the Smithsonian as a guide.

Nine. Claude Salvy. attached

press Office. stopped in at the
White House recently to COM
pare notes with her American
counterpart, Mrs. Mary Jane
McCaffree. secretary to Mrs.
Eisenhower.
The greatest difference be-
tween, the White House and lie

In size.
The vivacious dark haired
Partisan was elated by the fact.
"I'm so happy" she said in
French, ''to find the White House
is smaller. Everything else I
have seen, all the other buildings
in this country seem so much
larger than ours"
Nine. Salvy hastened to add

was brought home to the author
when she returned to Loue after
World War II. In tribute to
her husband and her country.
the townspeople had named
three of their streets, "Rue du
General Dunlap" "Rue DIES Etats
Unis" and Rue de Ia Liberia
ton"
Appropriately. Mrs. Dunlap has
dedicated her newest book ito
all those memories both sad and
glad that France has given me-"
For her services in bringing q
more familiar picture Of France
to the rest OF the world through
her books. Mrs. Dunlap has re-
ceived two Of the French gov
ernment,s most coveted honors,
the Chevalier of the Legion Of
Honor and the Reconnaissance
FRANCHISE. She always wears
miniatures Of both decorations.
STAYS THREE MONTHS
Mrs. Dunlap usually spends
from May to August at her cha
teau, which is so old she has yet
to discover its actual origin. The
style Of Coulennes is early 18th
century but she has reason 10
believe It's foundations are older.
Last summer. some workmen
who were painting its interior
found q hidden Gothic fireplace,
and she has found history book
references to the chateau dating
it as far back as 1857 AID.
Her usual work pattern for the
last several years has been to do
some of her writing at Coulennes,
then to return home in August in
time for her yearly pilgrimage to
the Mcdowell Colony. With
her old friend, Washington mu-
stefan Mary Howe, she has spent
Is summers in the peace and
quiet Of the famed New Hamp-
shire artists retreat.
Last summer for Mrs. Dunlap
was neither peaceful nor quiet
on this side Of the Atlantic. She
returned from France just in
time for the late summer wind
storms which dashed the East
Coast. She finished her novel
in Newport, r. l.. practically in
the teeth Of Hurricane Carol.
Then back to Washington for
what she thought was a rest,
only to run into, Hurricane Hazel
the day of her return.
She probably won't be writing
another book for awhile. but hur-
ricanes have nothing to with it.
It's just that she has to catch
her breath. ut takes me some
time to find new Inspiration

a book I pant for a little while"

BY RUTH DEAN

b. Mrs. Robert n. Dunlap has
written another book about her
beloved France.
But this time the charming
Washington born author who
writes under the name Of Kath-
arine Dunlap. centers her novel
around the landowners Of the
French chateaux country. Her
previous books have been about
the villagers who live in the
towns near the chateaux.
Her new book, for April re-
lease. Is a romance entitled
Twice the New Moon" For its
setting she has Borrowed" the
chateau of one of her neighbors
who lives not far from her own
Chateau de Coulennes in Loue.
Its one of those delightful
places she recalled in recent
interview in her Georgetown
home. where you may receive a
formal invitation to luncheon
and find yourself dining infor-
mally with 20 or 80 other guests -
CORRECTs IMPRESSION
When an American friend told
her that he didn't think the
French were like that. Mrs. Dun
lap didn't waste any time in cor
recting him that he couldn't be
more wrong. "There are many
who are like that" she told him..
land that's what I've tried to put
across in my books. Too many
people judge France by what they
see and experience in Paris. You
can't do that any more than you
would say you've seen the United
States without setting foot out
side of New York"
For the author, writing the
book was a labor of love.
For the last "a years, she has
spent her summers at Coulennes,
where she has done a great deal
of her writing. Two of her
books, Encore for Love" and
"Once There Was a Village" were
both inspired by the Loue towns
people she knows as well as her
Washington neighbors.

founded the Corcoran Gallery of
Art-Mrs. Dunlap calls France
her second home.
She first fell in love with it
when she volunteered for work
with the French war blind during
World War !, when her husband,
the late Marine Corps Gen. Dun
lap, was on Gen. John J. Per-
shings STAFF. After the war. the
Dunlaps decided to buy a sum-
mer home in one OF the provinces.
She still remembers the day
they first saw the Chateau de
Coulennes and knew it was what
they wanted. 1.-THE houses adver-
tised on the market at that time
were all large, fashionable coun-
try piaces,H she said, 'but we
were determined to find some
thing smaller and out Of the way
that had charm. We found it at
the end Of q long winding road
during q mornings drive and by
nightfall we had bought it,"
NO REGRETS
Nor has Katharine Dunlap
ever regretted Coulennes' pur-
chase: even though the days
since have been filled with as
much sadness as happiness for
her.
1 Shortly after they bought it,
Gen. Dunlap died a hero's death
in saving the life of q woman
trapped in an avalanche in the
French Alps. Mrs. Dunlap de-
cided to keep Coulennes not only
for its memories but because Of
her deep love for the French
people.
