A holiday mood Of "ami-
stad" friendship is engulf-
ing the Nations Capital over
the state visit of Mexican
President and Mrs. Lopez
Mateos.
It's as gay and light-heart-
ed as q Mexican hat dance at
the height Of fiesta time al
though the main characters
are the top officials Of the
two countries.
Even with the pomp and
circumstance Of the White
House dinner last night CIV
en- by President and Mrs.
Eisenhower for los Senores
Mateos, there was an air Of
fun and neighborly love in
the marbled halls Of the
Executive Mansion.
AS is their custom, Presi-
dent and Mrs. Eisenhower
first met their guests in their
private quarters on the Sec
ond floor. They later posed
for photographers.
AS the two heads Of state
and their wives went into the
gold and white East Room
of the Executive Mansion,
the relocated Marine Band
struck up Hail to the Chief"
Mrs. Eisenhower again
matched the flowers on the
table to her dress. The
breath-taking gown was Of
red floral print taffeta and
was designed by Scaasi.
The huge E-shaped table
was set with the fabulous
gold service, the gold and
white service plates, beauti-
full cut crystal and bright
punches Of red carnations.
Fabulous Clothes
Mrs. Lopez MateoS was in
perfect color complement.
The pretty brunette First
Lady of Mexico wore a white
satin gown W h / c h was
embroidered in pearls.
incidentally the clothes
worn by the women in the
Mexican party all are re-
ported to be fabulous.
This is according to a re-
port from Mrs. Victoria
Geaney, who manages the
Presidents Guest House. She
added that suitcases were
pouring into the residence
for several days before the
guests arrived.
The mood of fun and az
lection started at the airport
when the two Presidents
embraced rather then 60
through the formal introduc.
tons. It's contagious-a dis
ease no one seems to mind
catching.
Then a rare thing hap
pened at the Guest House.
On arriving, President Eisen-
hover escorted his guests in
side and babe them fare
well. However, as he stepped
into his bubble top car there
was a furry of excitement
and down the steps rushed
President Lopez Mateos to
say his farewells.
One onlooker fancied the
whole thing-first President
Eisenhower running up the
stairs to say his goodby and
then President Lopez Mateos
running down to say his
turning into a comic opera,
but it was far enough short
OF that to be instead a heart
warming incident.
