The whole inaugural Parade
could have been planned for an
8-year-old - especially if his
name was Dwight David Eisen-
hover II.
But the highlight for the
Presidents grandson yesterday
was the moment when a golfer
stationed on the Georgia float
(portraying the Little White
House" at Augusta) drove a
couple Of simulated golf balls
directly toward the White
House reviewing stand.
AS his grandfather caught
the first ball and tossed 1t to
David's mother. the youngster
slipped forward to claim the
trophy. Then he busted him.
self collecting some of the
other balls thrown from the
float by pretty Georgia bellies.
Young David was generous
with his loot. however. After
giving one to his sister, Bar
bara Anne, he had a confer
ence with his mother. Finally,
after a few moments of inde-
cision, he crossed the aisle and
presented one each to Patricia
and Julie Nixon.
Model Children
The Presidents three Oldest
grandchildren and the Nixons'
two daughters occupied seats
some distance behind their
respective parents - and all
We're models of department.
The five arrived from the
Capitol, where they had wit
messed the swearing-in cere-
monies, well ahead of the start
of the parade.
Missing from the reviewing
stand was the Eisenhowers'
youngest granddaughter 49,
month-old Mary Jean. She
had been present, however. at
the private ceremony Sunday
at the White House, because
her grandmother wanted her
to be able to say in later years
that she had attended the
historic ceremony in which
the President and Vice Presi-
dent had officially begun their
second terms.
Four-year-old Susan Elaine
couldn't take in quite all OF
the parade. After about two
hours, she said she was cold
and returned to the White
House.

through the guests with their
uncle, Donald Nixon, to the

were served orange and rasp-
berry punch. They left for
home shortly afterward with
their grandmother.

campaign. ~@
The Eisenhowers' Commute
visit concluded promptly at
1850 pm, security measures

one to fan back to let them
through.
Enough room was cleared for
the color guard to pass and
then the Eisenhowers with
Mai. and Mrs. John Eisen-
howerl entered and the hith-
erto stald and decorous group
burst into wild cheering.
President Beams
The President waved and
flashed his all-encompassing
sunburst smile and the crowd
shouted some more. Both the
President and Mrs. Eisenhow-
er seemed to be enjoying
themselves tremendously.
The grand march began, led
by Mr.. and Mrs. George Gar
rett and Mr.. Jack Logan es-
corting Mrs. Merriweather
Post, a regal beauty in her
deep blue velvet gown and her
diamonds and sapphires.
AS the marchers filed past
the President. he and Mrs. Eli
senhower frequently waved to
friends. The President occas-
sionally would nudge his wife
and looked as if he might be
saying Look, Mamie, there's
so and SO. Haven't seen them
in ages"
Lawrence Welk, whose or
chestra provided the music
during the Presidents visit,
was presented to the first
family, and to Mrs. Eisen-
hower's mother, Mrs. John
Doud, who had Joined Mrs.
Moore's party by then, as had
DR.. Milton Eisenhower, the
Presidents brother.

ing in Love with Love-"
Up to this point, the music
went off according to plan.
Sidney and his orchestra
played from 9 to 10, followed
by Fred Warnings orchestra,
and then Mr.. Welk's group,
who were to leave after the
President did at midnight. But
here a snafu came, so Mr..
Welk stayed another hour
emil Coleman had been
scheduled and finally was re-
lieved by Devron and his or
chestra.
NixOns Dance
AS a result, Mr.. Welk had
the unusual honor of playing
for the Vice President and
Mrs. Nixon to dance.
The Nixons arrived after
midnight to the tune of Cali
fornia, Here I Come"
After another rousing greet
ing, they started to relax a
moment. Then Mr.. Welk an
nounced a special song for
their dancing pleasure, MEL

The Vice President, look

floor. concluded it was too diff

walked around the back way
and finally got onto the floor,
where he twirled her, cheek to
cheek, much to the audiences
delight.
Breathtaking Gowns
Aside from the glamor Of
hobnobbing with all the Ma
tion's great, this party pro-
vided more thrills in watching
the clothes.
Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, look
ing a bit frail but still more
like a debutante than an am
bassador, wore a great gown
of pale blue-gray satin with an
emerald satin stole. Around
her neck were several rows of
diamonds and emeraldS.
Perhaps the most romati-
cally beautiful gown was worn
by the wife of the Italian Am
bassador. Signora Brosio,
whose white organza gown
was designed by Nebbia of
Turino. Fashioned with an
Empire line, the skirt was
white and the strapless bodice
was a mass Of tiny rosebuds
and brilliants.
Blond and beautiful Bar
oness Silvercruys, wife Of the
Belgian Ambassador, wore
black velvet trimmed with
white chiffon topped with a
white fox stole. (Her daugh-
ter, incidentally. teenage Pa
tricia Mcmahon, as brunette
as her mother is blond. wore
red velvet combined with red
tulle.)
Standing on a chair for a
better view and holding her
shoes in her hand, was the
irrepressible wife of our Am
bassador to Spain, Mrs. John
Lodge, wearing q magnifi-
cant gown by Fontana of
Rome-gray net. embroidered
all over with pearls and bril-
liants and topped with an
emerald green satin stole.
Also a show stopper were
Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay's
famous emeralds - especially
one stone, larger than an egg,
worn as a pendant.
Nine. Alphand, wife of the
French Ambassador, chose a
red velvet sheath with a pale
pink satin great coat; Nine.
Amin, wife of the Iranian
Ambassador. was in black
taffeta topped with a white
mink jacket. and Mrs. Oswald
Lord, in electric blue satin.

AS the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower arrived at the
Mayfiower Hotel for their third
party of the evening, they
found a chic, elegant and ex-
tremely gay affair in progress.
Here, most of the first floor
of the hotel was given over to
the party where some 100
guests mingled in their finest
gowns and most brilliant
jewels.
The comparatively small
size of the Mayhower ball
room. plus its gold and white
decor, gave this party a more
intime atmosphere.
Except for the few minutes
before the Eisenhowers' ar
rival, the dance floor was never
uncomfortably crowded. And
when they weren't dancing,
guests could survey the scene
form their boxes around the
dance floor or the balcony.
Mrs. Eisenhower's sister.
Mrs. G. Gordon Moore, was
the presiding chairman at the
Mayflower party. Wearing a
red velvet dress, Mrs. Moore
was among the early arrivals
and she and her family took
their places at one end of
the Presidential box. Co-chair-
man. was Mrs. James c.
Wilkes. who with Mr.. Wilkes
also sat in the honor box.
On the other side of the
Presidential area was a glitter
ing array of Republican bigwig
the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Mrs. George Hum
phrey, Secretary of Commerce
and Mrs. Sinclair Weeks, the
Assistant to the President and
Mrs. Sherman Adams and Un-
dersecretary Of State Herbert
Hoover, jr.-to name few.
President Arrives
The nights excitement began
to reach its highest pitch
shortly after IL when everyone
stopped dancing and started
crowding around the presi-
dental box.
The area in front of the
Presidents box was roped off
with red velvet and ported
palms. Secret service men,
looking somewhat grim and
determined, very firmly kept
people outside those ropes.
Suddenly a somewhat fren-
Zied announcement came that
the President was not only on
time Che was due at 11:40) but
was actually a few minutes
early.
Urgent pleas to clear the
floor for the color guard and
grand march went completely
unheeded as no one wanted to
give up their chance to see the
President and First Lady.
Finally a group of West Point
cadets and Annapolis midship-
men marched through to the
roll of drums and forced every
