Nixon Girls Get Foncy Hats;
Buffie Ives to Be Feted Here
By BETTY BEALE

The rest of you may be
thinking of Christmas, but
Tricia and Julie Nixon al
ready have their minds on the
inauguration. In fact. they al
ready have their ensembles
for the big occasion.
-Four years ago. the Amer
lean fashion industry could
make no capital whatsoever
on the Nixon offspring. Tricia
was a mere 6, Julie, 4, and
their mother said she was not
going to buy new dresses for
them as they were so very
young, still in the leggings
stage, anyhow.
This time, they are old
enough to attend indoor func-
tons after the swearing-in
and both indoors and out they
will be modelling hats by one
of Americas best-known de-
signers.
What happened was this.
Mrs. Nixon took the girls down
town the other day and bought
them identical blue velvet
party dresses.
She wanted matching hats
to go with them so the shop
sent swatch of the material
to their millinery department.
The latter in turn sent it to
a New YORK hatmaker who,
1t seems, has been nursing a
slow burn for years over what
he considers the strocious
headgear little girls have been
wearing.
AS a result, the adult de-
signer has started a whole new
line for girls only. First Wash
ington recipients of his bon
nets are Tricia and Julie. They
arrived in individual pink hat
boxes inscribed with the name
of the juvenile line-"Sweet
Young Things"
There's one thing you can

A6lai Stevenson's sister,
"Buffie" Ives, and her hus-
band, Ernest Ives will check
into town Tuesday for a one
day stay en- route from Bloom
ington. ILL.,, to their Paint Hill
Farm in North Carolina.
While in Washington they
will be guests of DR.. and Mrs.
Paul Magnuson, longtim e
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Ives.
Wednesday night the Wom-
ems National Democratic Club
will give a dinner in honor of
Mrs. Ives that's. expected to be
sellout. This will be Wash
ington's first brush with any
member of the Democratic
standard bearers family since
his defeat on November 6.
incidentally, Mr.. Stevenson
became a great uncle a week
after he became a grand
father. The Ives first grand
child was born November 10, to
Timothy Ives and the former
