white gloves - anyhow. But
my husband will be relieved
because those white tie COL
lars are so uncomfortable"
APPARENTLY, THE PRES
IDENT thinks so, too, because
the only explanation the
White House had to offer
for this historic change was
THE President decided it."
Last year he held the same
party later in April and it
was white tie.
One of the women had a
suggestion that may give
Mrs. Kennedy an idea for
another innovation. II wish
they wouldn't ask the whole
Congress together. 1t would
be so much more interest
ing for everybody if they di-
vided the Congress and the
diplomatic corps in half and
entertained them together. I
think occupational entertain
ing is a bore"
Judging by the way the
press feels about press
parties, she couldn't be more
right.
There was another criticism
of President and Mrs. Ken
nedy's invitation to the con-
gressional reception, but in
the light of White House
tradition it turned out to be
entirely unfounded. The wife
of a Congressman was sur
prised and a little Mortified
to observe that on the en-
velope of this engraved in
vitation, which was delivered
by hand, Honorable" was
abbreviated.
In short, the envelope read
Hon. and Mrs. John Doe"
But, said Mr.. Tolley, this was
the form used for Sena-
tors and Representatives up
until the Eisenhower admin
istration. The Eisenhowers
changed it to read "The Hon
orable and Mrs." The
exception to the rule, said
Mr.. Tolley, was the manner

NOT IN THE MEMORY Of
the man with the longest as
sociation with the White
House social office has a din
ner jacket been designated as
the proper garb for a state
function in the evening dur
ing cool weather. 1t has al
ways been white tie and tails.
And up until the Eisenhower
administration, it was so well
understood that no designa-
ton of dress was put on the
invitations at all.
The authority in this case
is Adrian Tolley, who went
to the White House in 1915.
A clerk in the Treasury De-
partment, he was sent over
on loan simply to address
the invitations to the wedding
of President Woodrow Will
son and Mrs. Edith Boiling
Gait. He was supposed to be
there two weeks but he stayed
As years.
Asked about the black tie
designation, he replied: 1T is
something brand-new. 1t has
never been done before for
any state affair during cool
weather - certainly never in
my time" Beginning with the
hot weather around the end
of May or first Of June, he
said, full dress for White
House functions was assumed
to be white dinner jacket and
black tie. (This was before
the summerweight black din
ner jacket replaced the white
in chic-er circles.) But from
September until then, it was
always white tie and tails.
THE WIFE OF A PROMI-
NENT Democratic Senator is
not too happy about the
change nor, she indicated,

friends. Some people don't
like it." she said. That's the
one time they don't mind
wearing formal clothes. A
lot of people like to feel that
we respect our White House
as much as the English re-
spect their palace over there" :"
Said another woman: Il just
like to be formal when I go
to the White House. It's one
of the things that makes it
different from anything else
in this country"
II think they (the Ken
nedys) like to be informal
the way they are in their own
homes" was the first Demo-
cratic lady's explanation. not

PALM BEACH. Mar. 81
There is no sign of a waning
season in this resort, even
with the arrival Of the Easter
month.
In fact, according to re-
liable sources, President Ken
nedy is definitely" expected
to pay an EaSter-tide visit
to Palm Beach-and, maybe
he'll pay another quick visit
here before then.
Prince Stanislas Radziwill,
the Presidents brother-in-
law, spent a week end here
at the Palm Beach Towers
while his wife was in India
with her sister, Mrs. Ken
nedy. He was accompanied
by Arkadi Gerney of New
York City. and they left the
first of last week.

ing that smoking at the din
ner table or in any of the
rooms. instead of Just the
room where after-dinneT cof-
fee was served, was another
indication of this present
White House trend which she
doesn't altogether favor.
But as always seems to be
the case, when this columnist
called a prominent Republi-
can wife for her reaction, she
heard only praise for the
Democrats. Its getting to be
a joke. Each time I pick a
Republican name at random
to seek an opinion on the So
clal aspects OF the current
incumbentS. I receive a IA
vorable reply.
II think it's kind of nice"
said the G. o. P. Senator's
spouse. My husband hates TO
get into white tie and I really
prefer wearing short dresses
to long" Nor did she stop
there.
I'VE went to the last dinner
they had and we were served
cocktails first and we could
smoke during dinner. I was
simply amazed. You don't
feel so stiff; you feel more
relaxed. 1 rather think it's
nice"
Another prominent Demo-
cratic Senator's wife was not
too concerned one way or an
other. II don't like short

SPEAKING OF SENA-
TORS, Minority Leader Ev-
erett DirkSen was asked what
he thought Of the film "Ad-
wise and Consent" which was
shown privately to the whole
Senate the other night.
Il could write it in a four
page memo" he said. Put
it in four lines and I'll quote
it." said 1. My inability to
do that is one of my greatest
weaknesses" observed the
curly-haired, molasSes-voiced
lawmaker with a chuckle.
Senator Bill Proxmire's
good-looking wife Ellen had
some definite ideas on the
subject Of the movie. 1T
makes the Senate sort of
Seamy, fraudulent, petty and
mean-not that there are not
some people like that in the
Senate. But that isn't the
Senate" said Mrs. Proxmire,
who regretted the elimina-
ton Of the novels finest
character, the man who
represented the conscience of
the Senate, Orrin Knox.
THE ROLE OF THE VICE
PRESIDENT played by Lew
Ayres is very we'll DONE" she
said, and Franchot Tone as
the President is pretty
good" But Walter Pidgeon,
in the role of Bob Munson,
has a sort of British ac-
cent and we have never had
a majority leader with a
British accent" she observed
realistically.
AS for Charles Laughton
as Senator Seab Cooley, HE
tried to develop a Southern
accent but it doesn't quite
sound Southern, and he a
little bit too rumpled and too
backwoodsy. Men like Sena-
tor Harry Byrd and Senator
Olin Johnston wear white
linen suits in the summer
time but they don't look like
they have had them on for
three weeks. They look neat"
Mrs. Lister Hill of Alabama
pointed out what was wrong
with Laughton's accent. To
acquire that Southern drawl
he made a tape of Missis-
sippi Senator Stennis' voice.

doesn't sound like a South
Carolina Senator at all. He
sounds like a Mississippian.

accent, you know"

Smathers Speaks
Under existing economic
conditions, with railroad i'm
provements and progress in
the mandatory category, it is
imperative that railroad
mergers be permitted when
feasible" said United States

a visit here last. week.
The occasion for the in
formal talk was a gathering
at "Mar-a-Lago," the home of
the Mays. A luncheon fol-
