Everyone Considered
The taste Of every guest is

she plans the meals or does
the marketing. whether he be
a foreign chief Of state whose
religion forbids the eating Of
certain foods or just a friend
she happens to know Is on o

Mrs. Eisenhower often visits
several grocery stores In Get

some Of the open-air fruit and
