THE CAPITAL IOURNAI Salem, Oregon
Thursday, April 18, 195S
-FROM-
Peg in Washington
-BY ALENE (PEG) PHILLIPS -
Washington, D. C, April 12
Dear Marian: .
One of the principal Indoor
outdoor sports in Washington
in the spring is the home tour
series. Virtually every week
some charitable organization
benefits from the sale of tickets
for a tour of ten to twelve
homes or embassies. Saturday
more than $14,000 was taken in
at $4.00 per person in an es-
pecially interesting visit to four
embassies, one legation, and
tlx private homes in one of the
most exclusive residential sec
tions in the city.
In our group as w strolled
from place to place were Mrs.
Marshall E. Cornett Klamath
Falls, Mrs, Stanley D. Paee,
Kentucky, both of whom are
here for the meeting of the Re
publican National committee;
Mrs. Vie MacKensle, Salem
Portland - Carmel commuter;
Mrs. Larry Pope and Miss Graee
Townsend, secretaries to Sena
tor Gny Cordon; and Mrs.
Charles Woodrlnf, secretary to
Congressman Waller Norblad,
Speaking of the Congressman,
at the French Embassy, Mrs.
Norblad was one of the host
esses with whom we had an
opportunity to chat briefly. She
reported that her husband is
spending several days having
a clinic check up, exchanging
the Capitol for a hospital dur
ing the brief Congressional re
cess. "
'.'
Among the special features
that attracted us at the embas
sies were flower arrangements
provided by some of the local
garden clubs. At the Japanese
Embassy, the unusually effec
tive bouquets , were done by
members of the embassy staff
and at the long dining room
table a Japanese maiden was
constructing artistic arrange
ments for the entertainment of
the guests. Outstanding at this
embassy were the paintings,
wood carvings, screens, ginger
Jars, and beautiful Oriental
chests. One screen appeared at
first glance to be a painting in
sepia and gray tones of Rock
Creek Park in autumn. But we
found it was an embroidered
screen that had been made in
Japan from a picture of the
park. The embassy overlooks,
the park ana tne balcony just
off the hall where the screen
was on display gave us an op
portunity to contrast the park
in spring and fall. The screen
was incredibly beautiful with
the tiny stitches blending the
colors in a most natural man
ner the effect of light shim'
merlng on the water and many
fine details made it most inter
esting.
At the French Embassy, the
spacious rooms, beautiful mar
ble, crystal chandeliers, French
paintings, and well - kept
grounds attracted us. Mrs.
Dwifht Elsenhower greeted
guests for a portion of the time
but we found a two-block long
queue awaiting admission when
we reached that stage of our
tour and we went on to some of
the private homes and returned
later when the crowd had thin
ned out a little. We missed the
President's wife but met Mrs.
Ivy Baker Priest, Treasurer of
the United States, who with
Mine. Bonnet, wife of the
French Ambassador, welcomed
the guests. This was the re
freshment stop on the tour and
large bowls of fruit punch
with blobs of various colored
sherbets floating on top were
placed on two long tables in the
immense dlnin.i room. ,
In the Portugal Embassy, the
dining room was the center of
interest, even without punch
bowls. The room is panelled
around the lower three feet of
the wall with decorative blue
tile from Portugal. Lovely cop
per-toned marble outlines the
doorways and cornices of the
room. The huge table and din
ing chairs were of Jacaranda
wood, almost black and very
beautiful. A . Georgian silver
epergne with its spreading
branches held fruit arrange
ments in the several delicately
patterned bowls. The Venezue
lan Embassy had especially ef
fective flower arrangements
in fact, so interesting that ex
cept for the paintings, the bou
quets stand out strongest in
one's memory. However, it was
a lovely home, as were the
private dwellings that were
open to inspection. They ranged
from traditional to modern, to
early Italian, to early Ameri
can. The latter was a home
built in 1734 and moved from
Dan vers, Massachusetts, to
Washington by taking the house
apart and reconstructing . it
here. Floors in one bedroom
had the painted half circles to
"hex" the witches. Except for
the dining room, the early
Italian left us Oregonians cold
as it was dark and depressing
in its overpowering atmosphere.
More later.
