Col. Nickerson Is the man who
engaged in Q one-man fight to

and use q 1.500-mile interme-

MODERN
MANNERS
Some Questions and Answers
Vital to the inaugural Visitor
BY CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

The following questions and
answers are an effort to help
make the stay of our out-of-
town inaugural visitors a little
more interesting and a little
less confusing. Knowing how
to handle situations as they
arise can definitely simplify,
not complicate, your visit.
QuestiOn--How do you adj
dress high-ranking dignitaries
when speaking to them person.
ally.
Answer-To begin with, the
surname is never used for any
officials from the President
through members Of the cabi-
net. They are addressed by
their titles alone. Reason?
Only one man in our Govern
ment holds the high position
and bears the title in each
case.
Examples; When speaking
to the President, you simply
say, mi. President; the Vice
President, "Mr. Vice Presi-
dent; the Chief Justice Of the
United States. "Mr. Chief JUS
tice"; the Speaker of the

cedure to go through when at
tending a party where there is
a receiving line?
Answer:-Upon your en-
trance go to the head of the
receiving line. An announcer
will ask you your name. Give
1t as MRS. Green" or "Mr.
Dow" no first names are
necessary. The announcer will
then present you to the person
heading the line. who in turn
will introduce you to the next
in line, and so on to the end.
After passing through, you join
It those at the refreshment
tables. If the hosts are still
receiving when you take your
departure, it is not necessary
to express your appreciation.
Only If the line has broken up
is it obligatory that you seek
out your hosts to thank them.
Question - Does a woman
keep her gloves on or take
them off before going through
a receiving line?
AnsweH-While 1t is perfectly
correct to keep your gloves on,
I strongly advise removing the
right hand glove. Why? Be-
cause 1t is so much more
gracious to receive an ungloved
handclasp. Reminder: BY all
means remove both gloves
when eating or drinking.
Question--How do you go
about paying a personal call
upon a Senator from your
State or a Representative from
your district?
Answer - Simply call the
Office Of the official you wish
10 see and his secretary will
make every effort 70 arrange
an appointment fol- you.

AFTER THE FESTIVAL
BY MARY L. VAUGHAN

A dazzling array of the Ma
tons best-known names and
public personalities converged
on the Mayfiower Hotel last
night to attend reception
honoring Vice President and
Mrs. Nixon.
In the midst of an endless
round of pre-Inaugural merry
making. the event stood out
like spotlighted dia m o n d S
against a black velvet back
ground.
1t was THE social event Of
all the glamorous parties, and
strictly a private affair, having
no connection with official
Inaugural doings.
Retiring Republican National
Committee Chairman Leonard
Hail and Mrs. Hall gave the
soiree, along with Miss Bertha
Adkins, assistant to the COM
mittee chairman, and Mr..
John Clifford Folger, G. o. P.

Pat Wore Pink
Radiant Pat Nixon wore a
sophisticated pink satin sheath
embroidered with hundreds of
tiny beads over the bodice and
down a side panel. for the
glittering occasion.
Complementing her pale
pink was Mrs. Halls blue
green peau de sole gown set
off with a matching cape lined
in a Chinese red shade, and
Mrs. Fogler's black chiffon
evening gown worn with a
green French stole.
Miss Adkins selected Ameri-
can Beauty rose as her color
choice fashioned into a chif-
fon-taffeta ball gown with
matching stole.
Since the party was for per-
sonal friends, it was only
natural there were a good
many Eisenhowers mingling
among the guests as well as
out-of-towners from both the
Nixon and Barbara Eisenhower
families.

Giant Bullets

the ballroom was taken over
for the party with the more
than 1000 guests overflowing
from the Chinese Room and
ballroom into the East Room
and double dining room, across
the way.
Sidney's orchestra provided
music for those hearty souls
who can dance on a postage
stamp without being trod on.
Giant-size bullets for a mid
night supper were placed in
both the East Room and out in
the hotel promenade serving
a constant stream of hungry
folk converging from all di-
rectlons. From there the diners
famed out again into every
nook and Granny where small
tables were set up for leisurely
dining.
Leading off the menu for
early nibblers was celery,

same courtesies to our ENJOYS
on such occasions.
But the truth of the matter
is, no foreign officials outside
of Washington were urged to
come though the United
States is customarily invited to
send delegations to Latin
American inaugurals and for
eign coronations. In November
a telegram went out to all
American Ambassadors serving
abroad saying that delegations
from foreign countries would
not be invited because they
could not be given the honors
and treatment they deserved
at this time.
Actually you and we owe
much to foreign ENJOYS here.
For the first time some of
them have opened their en-
bassies to masses Of out-of-
towners to give you a chance
to see the most glamorous set
tings of official life. They do
the same thing in the spring
for money to raise handsome
=, sums for Washington chari-
ties. Indeed Washington chari-
ties and Washington social
life would suffer irreparably
were it not for the generosity
and friendliness Of foreign
diplomats.
Some people, no doubt, will
also effect shocked attitudes
when they read about the 500
cases of California champagne
being sent here for ball con-
sumption. 1t sounds like a
huge hinge was planned but it
really emanated from sheer
thoughtfulness. Since hotels
can sell whiskey and the
Almory can't. it seemed only
fair that you who go to the
Armory should not be left high
and dry.
All of you have been the
major concern of the city for
the past two months. Now
that you are here we hope that
you get wherever you're going
with ease, that you enjoy what
you find when you get there.
and that you see most of the
great host of personages who
make this city famous.
That includes. of course. a
gentleman by the name Of
Dwight D. Eisenhower.

obligingly repeated this sew

designed herself, with the heel
placed-not where the heel

Beautifully Decorated
The Pan American Union,
