Cary OF Jne treasury ana
Mrs. Dillon's reception for
the museum people that eve
ming. But people still talked
because when a First Lady
misses an appointment it's
news, whether justified or not.
But then, talk is what
makes the washing ton
merry-go-round go round.
Chic Chef
A beautiful young WASH
ington hostess, who is the
picture Of chic, gave a din
ner for IS the other evening
and cooked it all herself.
Secretary of Interior
Udall's Legislative Counsel
and Assistant Max Edwards
and his wife Pamela tossed
a party in their attractive
Georgetown house that
started out with a gourmet
meal cooked entirely by the
hostess Though q flock OF
maids and walters served it,,
and ended up with dancing
to such a poppy two-piece
combo that Allen Dulles even
ventured to try the twist!
Sarah Davis, who's been
tossed into the Robert Ken
nedys' pool more than any
body, did the hully-gully with
Howard Dean of New York.
The hully-gully seems a lot
tanner than the twist, except
when the latter is done by
Mr.. Dulles. White House
Social Secretary fish Bal
drige twirled with Ham Lynch
of New York and talked over
post-college Paris days.
Cark Clifford's daughter
Joyce Barrett and husband
Dick learned how to do the
Madison which won't, pre-
dict, replace the cha-cha-cha.
But to the guests the sur
prising aspect of the party
was that the lovely looking,
sylph-like hostess, who is 5
feet 8 inches tall, has
natural silver blond hair and
the calm poise Of an UNI
ruffled lady of leisure, cooked
every morsel Of the gourmet
meal herself.
It started off with mush-
room broth with sailed
whipped cream on top served
with fried thin Indian waters
called pompaduns that came
in hot with melted butter on
them.
Next came rolled sirloin Of
veal which she cooked in deep
roasting pans filled half way
UP with dry white wine, ver-
mouth, q little sherry, Wor-
cestershire sauce, Escoffier
sauce (Robert & Diable), tar
ragon and oregano. with
which she basted the meat
frequently. Because the meat
was so dry, she wrapped
it first In strips Of bacol
and butter. Surrounding
the meat were French peas
carrots, little white onions
and shoestring potatoes.
To the endive, avocado anC
lettuce salad, served witt
Brie cheese, she added raw
mushrooms and to the
French dressing a little curry
Dessert was huge strawberrie'
served with sour cream which
was covered with dark brown
sugar, and cookies which she
made herself.
