BY ALENE (PEG) PHILLIPS-
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mariaa:
Highlight of the week for Mra.
Doeglaa McKay wrs the lunch
eon at the White House Tues
day. Mrs. Richard Nixon, wife
ox the vice-president, the cabi
net wives and the wives ef the
immediate advisory staff of the
president were guests of Mrs.
D wight. D. Elsenhower. Mrs. Mc
Kay has given me highlights on
the event The dining room, with
soft green walls, a beautiful wal
nut table with a wide inlay of
lighter wood, the elegance of
the attractive matt of drawn
work and lace, was made festive
with three bowls of spring flow
ers along the length of the ta
ble. Yellow roses, blue irises,
several shades of yellow freesias,
and white snapdragons formed
the three bouquets. My guess is
that at Mrs. McKay absorbed
their beauty, her thoughts went.
back to her home gardens in Sa
lem to dear to her heart. The
distinctive china of gold and
dark blue carries the presiden
tial teal and the goblets are of
matching design. Mrs. Eisenhow
er's friendly informality set the
tone for the luncheon, reports
Mrs. McKay. At Mn. Eisenhow
er came into the Red room
where the guests awaited in
line, in the order ef .the strict
protocol back here she said at
once, "Oh, I am going to enjoy
myself today this is Just my
family." She has the flair of the
true hostess for making persons
welcome and putting everyone
at their ease. An orchestra
played in the hallway and cof
fee was served in the Red room
following the luncheon A high
light wss the visit to the living
quarters on the floor above a
rare treat as the rooms are
shown only to the immediate
friends of the family. The presi
dent's wife admitted to doing
one room over. A large bedroom
had been changed from the lav
ender that Mrs. Harry Truman
liked to pink, one of Mrs. Elsen
hower's favorite colors. Her own
room with delicate green walls
has dusty pink bed coverings
and draperies. War trophies,
swords presented by foreign
countries, and the decorations
given the general were exhibit
ed to the guests on this special
inspection trip. An oval room,
the president's study, wat gay
with a mingled red and white
patterned chintz. Some comment
wat made that in the busy lives
the president and his cabinet
members lead, the wives seem
to be rather useless creatures.
But Mrs. Eisenhower spoke up
to say that she believed that the
men would miss them if they
weren't around, even if the men,
as customary, spent their time
when they were home sitting in
the corner and reading. Mrs. Mc
Kay felt a bond of understand
ing with the first lady thinking
of the evenings the secretary
spends reading reports at home
with no opportunity for chatter,
While the secretary's wife was
lunching at the White House,
the secretary was receiving
John L. Lewis at luncheon in hit
interior department quarters.
The bristling eyebrowed labor
leader had requested an appoint
ment with Mr. McKay and the
latter invited Mr. Lewis to lunch
so that he could work the con
ference in during the heavy
schedule of the day. In person,
the guest didn't look at heavy or
at formidable at in his pictures.
The dinner last week honor
ing Senator Robert A. Taft at
which James H. R. Cromwell en-
tertained some 85 guests a stag
affair included the vice-presi
dent cabinet members, congres
sional leaders and military offi
cials. The buffet was weighted
down with a 35-pound roast, 30
chickens, and two suckling pigs.
The following night the secre
tary was among 1000 guests at
the Radio Correspondents' din
ner, with Jack Benny as nvater
of ceremonies and entertainers
including Dinah Shore, the Mar
iners, Fan! Whlteman't orches
tra, and tome New York stage
stars.
Mn. Sam Coon accompanied
Mrs. McKay to Mrs. Norman
Llttell't tea for members of the
White House Spanish Portu
guese Study group. Mrs. McKay
and the wife of the Venezuelan
ambassador, Senora de Gonza
les, poured. Speaking of the
Coons, the legislative stenogra
phers at the Oregon capitol were
always vocal In their admira
tion for the distinguished look
ing senator who was titled the
"Walter Pidgeon of the senate,"
when Sam was representing Bak
er county here. Today a male
member of our Interior depart
ment wat tinging hit praises as
loudly at the girls used to do,
emphasizing the warmth of his
personality and hit humor, along
with hit horse sense. He said
he had gone in to talk with Con
rressmin Coon briefly but re
mained for two hours.
More later Peg.
