players.
"Sure the Lion morale Is
down, but I'm not down or

Many Americans already
are sending gifts and good
wishes to First Lady Mrs.
John F. Kennedy. who is ex-
pecting a third baby in late
August.
Baby booties, bibs, bonnets,
sweaters and handma d e
quilts are often included in
the daily mail at the White
House, along with notes from
many parts Of the world.
A White House spokesman
says the letters even include
offers to help take care Of
the new baby. And, the mail
also brings name suggestions
and requests to be god
parents.
The White House says Mrs.
Kennedy's mail continues to
run an average Of 800 letters
q day.
In painstaking writing, in
dicating the author may Just
have mastered the art, came
the message: "I'm very glad
you are going to have a
baby. Love-"
A young boy sent a card
early, explaining he was
writing $50 I will not forget
since I'm going to camp in
June"
The White House said most

Tonight I feel like the
Grand Duchess of Luxem-
bourg," said Nancy Tucker
man in reply to a dinner
toast Wednesday evening.
The White House Social
Secretary said her first party
at the White House in her
new job was the dinner for
the Grand Duchess, and now
she, herself, felt like a
duchess with this dinner be-
ing given for her by Pamela
Edwards.
She and the former Pam
ella Soldwedel of New York
have been friends ever since
they were old enough to talk.
They got to know each other
in Southampton where their
families took them every
summer, and Pam even has
a picture of them together
when they were only 8 or 4
years old.
CONGRESSMAN BILL
MOORHEAD, Democrat OF
PENNSYLVANIA, had made the
toast to Nancy on behalf OF
the beauteous pale-blond
Pam. He spoke of the lovely
new occupant of the CLAM
orous White House job and,
with a straight face, said
that among her glamorous
duties she had spent most
of her time answering ques-
tons about dogS-PuShinka'
and Charley's puppies.
Then he raised his cham
payne glass to the girl who's
in charge of everything
from the canine to the SUI
blime."
London Sunday Times cor
respondent Henry Brandon
then rose and said since
Nancy had compared her
situation there to the White
House, one should continue
the parallel, and so he pro-
posed a toast to Pam, 1.-THE
Jackie of @ Street"

MERGE Herbert Klotz stood
up to pay tribute to the
lithesome Mrs. Edwards cul-
mary arts. She had cooked
the dinner herself from the

wine soup topped with
whipped cream to the indi-
vidual real strawberry short
cake for dessert.
He wanted to propose a
toast, he said, Ito the Rene
Verdon of @ Street." Rene
Verdon is the French chef
at the White House.
The company Of 40 sat
around four tables of 10 each
in two rooms of Mrs. Ed
wards attractive George
town house. Afterwards
there was dancing on the
terrace that overlooks her
spacious garden. Actually,
it looked as if a parquet floor
had been put down over the
flagstone terrace where we
danced.
Instead it was the easiest,
quickest, most effective i'm
provisation Of an outdoor
dance floor imaginable. It
was a large, parquet-pat-
