ington University and Will
liam, nearly Is, goes to York
town High School. They are
both ardent flower growers.
When their mother wished
for more orchid plants they
hit upon the idea of growing
African violets for chain
store markets so that they
could buy the plants she so
desired. It's quite a COM
bine!
Their latest idea is an or
child tube fashioned into a
single flower vase. They took
a coat hanger and wound
the wire in a spiral down the
tube and made a large circle
at the end to form the foot.
With one beautiful bloom in

What started as a hobby
with the Craigs seems now to
Evening star., 1960-09-25

be fast becoming an enter
prise with the three of them
all vitally interested. First
they could hardly bear, to
cut one tiny flower; now they
make bouquets of them.
Mrs. Craig's artistic tenn
permanent evolved the first
earrings for a friend. They
were an instant success.
Since then she has made
bouquets for many a ranking
officers wife to wear on for
NAL occasions.
There are $50 genera to
the orchid family and 5000
species. Their colorS run the
rainbow gamut. Their sizes
range from the tiny minia-
ture, half the size of a 10
cent piece to OAR" orchids
the size of a dinner plate.
Botanically speaking the
small ones are known as
Epidendrum; the snow white,
Phalaenopsis; the large white,
Cattleya, and the mauve
Cymbidium. The plants are
ugly thick tough green stalks,
with rubbery pointed leaves.
They grow in tree bark not
soil. 1t takes seven years for
a plant to begin blooming.
The flowers, in contrast, are
exquisite. And Mrs. Craig's

Orchids Are Her Hobby
But Mrs. Craig Has Many Interests

while she and the boys were
living in Georgia. They went
to Maine for two years and
in 1852 went to visit her
father, Mr.. Hugo Gibbon, in
Trinidad.
The need to supplement
her widows pension, educate
the boys in their fathers
homeland, as well as be near
medical care prompted the
move to Washington.
I'VE arrived to find the
promised accommodations
non existant," Mrs. Craig
said. Il was given a room
in one house and the boys
were boarded in a house two
doors away. You know, I
spent most of the nights
sitting on the end of their
beds"
At that time Mrs. Craig
had found a job in the Office
OF the Army Research and
Development Division and
her boss was Gen. Anthony
McAuliffe. She is now with
the Army Chief of Informa-
tion Office whose head is
Maj. Gen. William w. Quinn.

I'VE saw this one which was
nearly completed, and 1 was
led to believe I could use a
GI loan. A few days before
we were to move we found
this was not the case. I was
frantic. I went to the con-
tractor and begged him not
to finish the recreation room,
leave of the paint or any,
thing else that would make
a price to fit my pocketbook.
THAT good man did, and
we moved in. We finished
the job ourselves, the boys
and me. through the years.
We also built the greenhouse.
That came much later" said
Mrs. Craig.

Star star Writer

The choicest party in town
yesterday was given by q
Swear -old. Little Miss Caro-
line Kennedy tossed q to-do
to celebrate her more adj
vanced years. and this
party trotting columnist
covered it.
The first such young set
affair to entice me was q gay
colorful, rollicking success,
though I must say it was
hard to determine this while
standing in the rain on the
outside.
Judging, however, from
what went in Miss Kennedy's
house both by the front and
the back doors. this party
had the ingredients that
would make it a WOW in any
body'S set.
To begin with, at 2:l5
Parties Unlimited's station
wagon drove up to her house
and unloaded a kindergarten
size refectory folding table,
IL little folding chairs, a
dream Of a pink four-layer
cake decorated with beauti-
full pink roses and the in
scription: Happy Birthday
Caroline" and a little paper
clown to go on top of it.
For this was a circus
party, planned to the last
detail by Caroline's mother
who had every intention of
being there and who had Or
dered the cake and the ice
cream in clown molds q
week ago.
NEXT CAME A PINK AND
RED CIRCUS TENT to 60 in
the center of the table with
the pink and red streamers
attached to extend to each
child's place. In the party
trade they call it a Jack
Horner pie" because when
every guest pulls q streamer
something enchanting comes
out of the tent. 1t seems a
pity that more Washington
hostesSes don't have this sort
Of thing. I shouldn't mind
finding a "trinket" at the
other end of a ribbon myself.
In this case, a good healthy
pull produced stuffed velvet
reindeer in either red or
brown with blue felt eyes and
red felt antlerS.
To make way in the dining
room for this charming set
up to be surrounded by IL
small fry, the Kennedys' reg
ular dining room table had

Apparently this party
clicked from the beginning.
The guests and hostess not

go-cart, q new hobby horse.
a telephone and a bear that
talked on it, a tea set, and a
donkey on wheels that they
could ride on-but they had
Jean. the Magic Clown, who
could do magic tricks.
WHEN CAROLINE SAW
HIM she exclaimed with de-
light. There's .Bozo, Bozo,"
but she was reluctant to
squeeze his nose lest she hurt
it. Finally, Jean persuaded
her to touch his nose with
her animal balloon and the
minute she did he squeezed
an invisible horn under his
tattered coat. much to the
delight of the junior group.
He kept the children and
all the adults, except the
President-elect who was up
stairs on the telephone, en-
thralled for a half hour while
he did such things as produce
a large flower out of a fire, a
banana ice cream cone out Of
a glass Of milk. and a white
rabbit, Of course. out of a hat.
The hostess, wearing a
white dress with two blue
poodles appliqued on the
bodice and a red sash around
her waist. finally sat down
with her guests at the table
and they all opened their
favors and proceeded to get
to the important business Of
eating the ice cream and
cake. Caroline successfully
blew out the candles on the
latter which numbered four,
including one to grow on.

States. whose appearance at

planned to return to New
York last night after dining
with the Bobby Kennedys.
Asked II he had a gift for
Caroline, "It's in my pocket"
he said. without identifying 1t.
Less than IS minutes later
he came out Of the house and
went over to the hospital to
see the mother Of his 18th
grandchild. When he re-
turned he said of his newest
grandson, "He looks fine, he
looks great" In fact. he said,

replied, After all the baby's

and he went inside to the
children's party.

Next arrived 2-year-old
Ivan Steers, son Of Jackie's
stepsister Nina Auchincloss
and Newton Steers, who was
brought by his nurse.
While these three small
guests created diversionary
action in the front of the
house, all the rest slipped
quietly. and for the most
part invisibly, in the back
door as asked to do in adj
vance by the household.
SEVEN WERE BROUGHT

DuckOutIook
Poor;Curbs
Again Likely

Strong indications that duck
hunting regulations won't be
relaxed this fall were given this
week when Fish and Wildlife
released its latest report on
duck breeding.
The report predicted a pro-
nounced decrease in the num-
bers of wild ducks in the Pacific
Flyway and little change from
last year in the other three
flyways.
The report was given to the
Waterfowl Advisory Committee
as a preliminary to considera-
ton of 1901 hunting regula-
tions to be recommended to
the Secretary of the Interior.
Regulations were frightened
last year because of poor pro-
duction as a result of drought in
major duck breeding areas.
Despite this, breeding popu-
lations of important species in
flyways were reported to have
been down this year. In the
Central. Mississippi and Atlantic
Flyways the hatch was esti-
mated sufficient to offset the
decline.
The service said present in
dicationS are that the Pacific
Flyway will be less fortunate
than the others because Of less
favorable conditions on the
breeding grounds which supply
that area.
Redheads and CanvasbackS
still are in short supply. the re-
port said. The winter survey
showed that both of these species
were down from last year and
well below the five-year average
in numbers.
Breeding ground conditions
were better this year." the serv-
ice said. "but although produc-
ton was improved somewhat
over last year, the flight Of each
fof these species this fall will be
low enough to remain q matter
Of real concern"
4 The service said an encourag-
ling note to Atlantic Flyway
hunters was a 20 per cent in
crease In the wintering popula-
ton Of black ducks though the
current number is still consider
Iably below the peak level Of 1855
No change is expected in the
flight Of Canada geese and
brant. There will probably be
a slight increase in the coot
flight.
Last reports from Ducks Un-
} limited Of Canada indicated that
the hatch in the prairie region
is well progressed with broods
numerous in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan although Manitoba
broods were slow to appear. A
strong. late nesting effort was
expected in all provinces.
