Dear Marian:
So much to report that I
hall plunge directly into
items concerning Oregonlani,
To begin with, Congressman
and Mrs. 8am Coon entertain
ed at dinner Sunday evening
for Governor Paul L. Patter
son at the Shoreham, where
the elaborate and too-tempting
buffet is a weekly feature.
Guests in addition to the Gov
ernor, here for the conference
df all state executives, and
Oregon's State Treasurer Slg
frid B. Vnander, who came
east with the Governor and
who goes to New York for a
bond signing chore, were Sec-
retary and Mrs. Douglas Mc
Kay, Congressman ana Mrs.
Harris Ellsworth, Congressman
and Mrs. Walter Norblad, Mr.
and Mrs. Larry Smyth, and
your correspondent.
The Secretary and the Gov
ernor were busy catching up
on legislative news and na
tional affairs. The McKays,
the Ellsworths, and I had hur
ried to the dinner party from
the buffet reception at the
Mayflower given by the Dele
gate from Hawaii and Mrs.
Joe Farrlnrton in honor of
Governor and Mrs. 8am Wild'
er King, of Hawaii. Back
ground music by a Hawaiian
orchestra, a silver fountain of
flowing pineapple Juice, and
special delicacies on the long
table emphasized the Hawal
lan atmosphere. Senator and
Mrs. Guy Cordon were among
the Farrlngtons' guests.
was fresh and becomingly at
tired for the luncheon. The
Larry Smyths, ' Mrs. Frank
Law, of Washington, a sitter-in-law
of the Ed Laws of Sa
lem, and Mr. Julia MeFar
land, cousin of Mrs. Thomas
L. Gatch, Portland, rounded
out the table. Mrs. Lucker re
membering the Oregon rose
theme had provided rose dec
orated placecards. Mrs. Me
Kay, in black with white hat
and white accents at the neck
line, made a gracious response
to her Introduction and the
presentation of the citation
Last Friday, Mrs. McKay
was honored at the luncheon
about which I sent you a bul
letin. As the recipient of a
special honorary Governor's
citation from the Oregon
Mothers Committee, she shar
ed honors with the Washing
ton Mother of the Year. While
the audience was made up of
Washingtonlans, we at least
had an Oregon table. Mrs. John
Lucker, cousin-in-law of Mrs.
G. F. Chambers and Miss Dor
othea Steusloff, in Salem, and
herself a one-time resident of
Ealem where she met and mar
ried her husband, was the of
ficial hostess for our table. The
attractive and gracious Mar
guerite Lucker is active in so
many organizations here that
it was not a surprise to find
that she was vice chairman of
the Washington Mothers' Com
mittee. She took special de
light in Introducing the Ore-
gonlans to the audience. Mrs,
Guy Cordon made a brief re
sponse for our table in tribute
to Mrs. McKay. Mr. and Mrs,
Frank McCaslin he is a di
rector of the U. 8. Chamber of
Commerce which has been in
aession and also a former presl
dent of the Portland Chamber
delayed a special trip to Vir
ginia gardens a day in order
to join in the Oregon party.
Mrs. Harold B, Say had arrived
only Friday morning by train
from the west coast but she
When the Congressional
club entertained for Vice-
President and Mrs. Richard M.
Nixon, a week ago Sunday,
Mrs. Harris Ellsworth was one
of the hostesses greeting
guests. The McKays included
the club party in their busy
round for the week which also
Included the informal dinner
given by the Oregon Chamber
of Commerce delegates at the
Army and Navy club, the for
mal banquet of the United
States Chamber of Commerce
at McDonough Memorial audi
torium, the annual party of
the Women's National Press
club honoring President and
Mrs. Elsenhower, and the Am'
bassador of Japan's reception,
Mrs. McKay was the - honor
guest also at a luncheon for
24 women at the magnificent
estate of the Joseph Davles,
The Davies collected many art
treasures in Europe during the
period that he served as Am
bassador to Russia, and the
house is a show place. Par
ticularly beautiful at this time
of the year are the gardens of
the home. The luncheon table
was centered with white and
lavender lilacs, tall bowls of
purple grapes, and with the
use of lavender place mats
with purple edging, and thumb
print goblets in purple glass,
the total effect was "Indeed
lovely," reported Mrs. McKay.
While I had to forego ac
ceptance of an invitation to
the V. S. Chamber of Com
merce's $15 a plate dinner be
cause of prior plans for the
Metropolitan Opera produc
tion' of "Samson and Delila"
on the same evening, I did at
tend the luncheon for the wom
en of the convention last week.
Some 600 women crowded the
grand ballroom of the May
flower to hear Mrs. Fleur
Cowlea, of the publishing fam
ily and the President's only
woman representative at the
coronation ceremonies this
summer, and Dr. AHhea Hot
tel, of Pennsylvania, discuss
effective citizenship through
informed thinking. The next
noon I lunchead again at the
Mayflower but this time in
stead of 000 women, I had
three male escorts such a
contrast, did you say? well,
almost an unfair distribution
of wealth for one day adieu
now. Peg.
