It was one of their semi

Chevy Chase Club for about
ITO people who had q whirl

in the morning.
People frequently have a
whirl at private dances in
Washington. but this one was
rather special for q particu-

it included tiocks of attract
i've, successful people. This
made it refreshingly un-smug
and interesting.
AS might be expected it
was decidedly international,
but no ambassadors were pres
ent. The diplomatic corps is
q little like an ocean liner.
Ambassadors travel first class
and only they and their
equals in rank entertain each
other in that formal. restrict
ed area.
But below top level there's
more freedom, more ease and.
sometimes. more fun.
