Ike Proves He Won't Run
By BETTY BEALE

People who thi4lk Washing

getting closer to the mark
every day.
The curtain wasn't raised
on the Pan American Ball the
other night until a fetching
burro had taken his stand out
side the door and some cute
Gagged marmosets had been
lined up inside.
The Saints and Sinners Club
that will put on a riotous
luncheon for Perle Mesta this
coming Friday at the ''Maison
Sheraton-Parque" will have
their usual sideshow and cock
tail party from 1880 on. and
they think nothing Of bring
ing lions, horses and what
have-you into a hotel lobby.
And the very next day the
cream of Capital society plus
some of the cheese, too, no
doubt. will frolic at a carni-
val at the Glovers' estate (op-
.posite the Berkshire apart
ments) along with hamsters,
turtles. parakeets. dogs, cats
and an elephant if they find
one. Shepherding this assort-
ment that will be corralled in
one area under the label of

fair socialites-Prune Ryan.
daughter of Representative
Katherine st. George, and Kay
Topping, ex-wife of Dan Top
ping.
You would never know to
look at either that here are
two women yearning for a
goat. skunk preferably de-
odorized and some white mice.
They expect every child in
town to show up with some
kind of animal as long as it's
a pet. and if you ask me it's
apt to be pandemonium. Still
1t ought to be interesting.
They have 20 cups. includ-
ing two silver ones. and so
ribbons which will go to the
best dog, best cat. best ele-
phant, etc. Mrs. George Ty-
son will judge the dogs. Mrs.
Edward Foote will judge the
cats, and anybody who can
get close enough will judge the
goats. If June 4 is a rainy
day. this benefit for st. Johns
Orphanage will be held on the
5th.
