EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Next |nauguraHs Two Months off
And Another Inaugural Ball Also Is Scheduled
BY BETTY BEALE
Star Staff Writer

star St0It writer
Washington is about to
witness another presidential
inaugural!
AS studded as President
Kennedy's Inauguration was
with history-making figures,
the forthcoming one on
March 4 will be stepped in
the history Of 100 years and
carved in the annals of our
union solidarity.
It will be the District of
Columbia's contribution to
the great Civil War Centen-
nial commemorations that are
sweeping the country.
So important is 1t regarded
by the Congress of the United
States that the Senate and
the House were planning
early this past week to pre-
serve until March S the plat
form on which John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy took his oath
Friday. so that Abraham
Lincoln, portrayed by his
famed impersonator, Ray
mond Massey. might take
"his oath" there. The Ken
nedy platform. however, was
far more prepossessing than
the small. rooted, chicken
coop sized affair Mr.. Lincoln
stood in to make his first
Inaugural Address.
NOT ONLY WILL "LIN-
COLIN" be sworn in at noon,
Saturday, March 4, and de-
liver his Inaugural Address
before distinguished witnesses
from various parts of the
country, but his parade to
the Capitol will be repeated,
he will lunch at the Willard
Hotel afterwards as did Lin
coin. and he and Mrs. Lincoln
will star at the Inaugural
Ball to be held that evening.
To the extent that it is
within the bounds of pos
sibility. athenticity will pre-
vail throughout the day.
THUS, THE LINCOLN IN
AUGURAL BALL on March
4, 1861, will be attended by
only 1900 prominent per-
sonages," as The Evening
Star edition Of March S,
1861, described the impor-
tant occasion. Appropriately,
one of the prominent Wash
ingtonians involved in the
Lincoln celebrations is Maj.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant III.
Co-chairmen of this non
partisan, historical and most
exclusive Inaugural Ball of
this century will be two wom-
en- of taste and chic. Mrs.
John Sherman Cooper, wife
of the Republican Senator
from Kentucky. where Lin
coin was born, and Mrs.
Charles l.. Bartlett, Democrat
and godmother of young
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Sd. A third co-chairman
will be Washington lawyer
Henry A. Dudley. live-wire
member of the District of
Columbia Civil War Centen-
nial Commission.
The three have less than
six weeks to whip the ball
into shape and get out the
invitations, but all plans for
the days activities were de-
liberately delayed or soft
pedaled until after the 1861
inaugural.
They will now go into high
gear. The interesting thing
about the plans is the in
credible enthusiasm they i'm
mediately invoke when people
hear that it is a Lincoln
celebration. The prestige Of
his name and the hallowed
affection that surrounds him

were going:
I'm in a terribly pre-

Enough or
Too Many?

Guests at the Inaugural
Balls may feel 1t couldn't
have been worse, in terms Of
the crowds. But at least one
authoritative source thought
it would be-much worse.
District Republican National
Committeeman Carl Shipley.
who was chairman of the
Eisenhower-Nixon Inaugural
Balls in 1857. was frankly
aghast when he read q week
ago that the Democrats were
planning to accommodate
$4,000 ball-goers at four balls
(thiS was before the fifth
ball was added.
The four sites were the
same four the Republicans
had used in 1857, yet they
had accommodated less than
10000, and still had "a great
crush, with no room to dance
ct the Statler," Mr.. Shipley
recalled.
IF the Democrats try to
cram anything like 10000
people in those four loca-
tions, 1t will be o SOCIAL dis
aster. The women's clothes
win be torn off," Mr.. Ship
ley warned direly.
In the end, it turned out
the $4,000 figure was in
flated. The Democrats finally
accommodated about 10000
dancers, but this was only
after adding another hotel
and greatly expanding the
Armory by the addition of
two large heated marques.
The ladies' clothes stayed on.

admonished the wives in the
group not to duplicate the
color Of Mrs. Kennedy's or
Mrs. Johnson's ball gowns.
Details Of Mrs. Kennedy's
gown were not supposed to
be released until the day of
the ball.
What am I supposed to

Mrs. Hale (Lindy) Boggs,
co-chairman Of the five In

Southern manner bellies her
steeltrap efficiency, shame
facedly admits, now that it's
all over, that she may bear
o heavy responsibility for the
unprecedented hordes that
turned UP to go to the balls.
On trips on the Lyndon

and other trips she made on
behalf Of the Democratic
ticket, Mrs. Boggs recalls,
she departed each town with
q CHEEKY wave, airily calling,
"See you at the Inaugural

the last frantic month, Mrs.

She pointed out a trim little

''She is Mrs. Robert C. Elliott" Mrs.

beyond, the ocean. Vera Elliott likes
best to talk about home in Indiana"
There she met her husband-to-be
when they were Ia; married after col
lege. Vera by then was talented cook.
Her father, a veterinarian, en-
joyed encouraging his children to
enter contests. Vera was ten when she
won a miniature electric stove which
Papa installed in her playroom. With
the stove came a child's cookbook,
Cooking With Electricity.'' Vera's
mother and her grandmothers on both
sides of the family were all clever
cooks and eager to hand down their
best recipes to the little one.

nese household assistant, Shuzuko
Nakada. But it's Vera Elliott who
cooks when she entertains, and that
means several times weekly.
Mrs. Elliott is a recipe clipper,
a recipe borrower. She files recipes in
manila envelopes labelling each as to
subject - casseroles, cakes, pies, fish,
hors d'oeuvres, salads, sauces. In
addition she has a cookbook collec-
ton which has kitchen-shelf space.

Mail Early For
Christmas Campaign
Now In Full Swing

Postmaster Carpenter announced
today that his 1861 mail Early
For Christmas" Campaign is now
in high gear, but he expressed
concern because mailing of Christ
mas gift packages seems to be
tagging and too many people do
not realize the need for careful
packing and wrapping of their
cherished Christmas gifts.
He stated, "It's hard to under
stand why people will be so care
less about putting valuable Christ
mas gifts into the mails in flimsy
boxes and loosely wrapped pack
ages. Many of these poorly wrap
ped gifts simply cannot stand the
necessary handling, and thus cause
much delay and disappointment
all around"
The Postmaster said further, 81
cannot emphasize too strongly the
Importance of careful Christmas
mailing procedures. For example,
it's best DO PRINT the recipients
full name, street address, city,
zone number and state on each
mailing label, making sure to in
clude an extra label INSIDE your
gift packages"
For your added convenience
