delectable repast had pro-
ceeded through the first
course only when he had to
leave to return to Capitol
Hill to testify at a hearing.
He did not know until just
before lunch that there
would be an afternoon ses-
sion, said his wife, who add
ed that he has II scheduled
appearances on the Hill.
A charming picture at that
luncheon was Deeda Blair in
a black wool Balenciaga suit
and little crown-like hat on
her lustrous dark locks made
entirely of coral with little
dots Of coral also on the
black veil. She loves Copen-
hagen and couldn't have
agreed with her husband
more when he rose at
luncheon to say that he had
just spent ten of the hap
piest and most rewarding
months of my life"

THE DANCING PACE has
been something of late. Be-
sides the White House din
ner dance Friday, there was
a dinner dance at the Clark
Cliffords' Saturday night fol-
lowing the wedding, a dinner
dance for 48 at the French
Embassy Monday night, and
then the dinner dance at the
Shrivers' last night. The
Kennedy party lasted till S
am, though Mrs. Kennedy
retired at 8; the French En-
bassy dance lasted until 1::30
am. and the Cliffords' till 3
am. although Clark told some
of his guests, THE last we'd
ding we had here didn't end
until 7:30 the next morning
and I expect this one to bet
ter that record" That other
time he slipped away twice
for cat maps and amazed the
late-Stayers by appearing so
chipper at closing time.
The Cliffords had a huge
heated tent erected in back
of their Rockville Pike house.
gaily decorated in red and
white for Valentines and big
enough to take care of all
their guests and a dance plat
form to boot. While Devron
held forth with continuous
music Ambassador and Nine.
Alphand did the Twist with
separate partners and Jim
Symington did it with Isa-
belle PonS. Wanda Halsey
threw her knee out doing the
twist with Clayton Fritchey,
not that Clayton is all that
vigorous. Wanda's foot
slipped and a trick knee that
has caused her trouble twice
before did it again. She's
been propped up in bed
ever since. There's been
a lot of talk about what
the Twist did to the back, but
this is the first time I've
heard of it affecting a knee
too. Thank goodness, it's
good for something - the
Waistline.
The very next day The
Cllffords gave a luncheon for
SO that lasted from noon till
7. No wonder Marny is head
ing for Florida in a couple of
days for a rest.
ROUND THE TOWN.

Development Corp. is build
ing around the world. Ceci
CaruSi is back from three
weeks abroad, two of them
spent at the skiing resort,
Wengen, Switzerland, which
is half way up the Jungfrau
and the most breathtaking
place she has ever seen. Not
only was the beauty magnifi-
cent but the air so like wine
that you never wanted to go
indoors, said Mrs. Carusi.
Everybody felt the same way
so they even had skiing ex-
hibitions at night. The
Karl Won Bertholds have
gone on a months cruise
originating out of New Or
leans aboard the former pri-
vate yacht of Otto Kreuger,
