Probably The , most colorful of the recep- tions to be held, the party was attended by ambassadors, their wives, and their staff members, in all their finest .court uniforms and beautiful gowns. Mrs. Douglas McKay report ed that the President's wife, who wore her inaugural gown for the second and last time before It goes to the .Smith sonian Institute for the exhibit of first ladies' gowns, was as radiant as she was on inaug ural night. The four members of the cabinet who were in town and their wives, gathered in the President's study on the second floor and descended the beautiful marble stairway behind the Eisenhowers into the main entrance hall below. There behind a roped-off en closure were newspaper wom en watching the formal en trance of the officials and their ladies. In that group were Mrs. Harold B. Say and Mrs. Haiel Market, ex-Oregonians. The President and Mrs. Eisen hower advanced to the Blue Room where they received the members of the diplomatic corps with the Norwegian Am bassador and his wife, who are senior In diplomatic service. The cabinet party went into the Red Room where they mingled with the guests com ing from the Blue Room line as assistant hosts to the Chief Executive and his wife. Members of the corps were covered with decorations and gold braid was dazzling on all sides. Many of the ladies of the embassies wore their na tive costumes, or elaborate gowns produced by famous de signers of their own coun tries. In the latter group were DAR-SAR-CAR of .

Bonnet of France In soft pink and gold lame Dior model and Lady Maklna of Great Britain in an Angela de Langhe of London gown of red chenille appllqued on red lare. Her dlxmond tiara and dia mond necklace and earrings were brilliant addition to the red costume. Speaking of red, the Marine Band in their red coats played in the entrance hall, striking up with "Hail to the Chief on the entrance of the President, which never fails to produce a bit of spine tingle. Cakes and fruit punch were served in the State dining room and dancing in the East Room wound up the evening for many of the guests. The traf- fic Jam was a hazard prior to the hour of the reception and some of the officials had a nar row squeak In making their entrance on time. 1 mentioned the Chicago trip but didn't tell you what a rug ged day that was for Interior Secretary McKay. In addition to speaking engagements at the luncheon of the National Convention of the Society for Crippled Children and Adults and at the morning session of the American Petroleum In stitute, Secretary McKay was Interviewed on two TV shows and we set up a half hour press conference bi the early morning at the request of the newsmen attending the petro leum meeting. He started the day with a breakfast confer ence and Included several oth er appointments until time to catch the 6 o'clock plane. Among those the Secretary and Mrs. McKay had a brief visit with were Mr. and Mrs. William K. North, former Port landers, who have lived in Chi cago for a number of years, where Mr. North is in the in surance business. Fellow-Oregon Staters, the two men had some reminiscing while the women exchanged news of their families. Mrs. North proudly displayed a charm bracelet made up of the honor medals and keys won by their son in his college scholastic work and a variety of activi ties. It was a novel way to re tain the awards since the bril liant young son wouldn't wear any of them himself. It waa a busy day in Chica go with the telephone ringing demandlngly throughout the hours but as usual it was ex citing and interesting and I must add that I squeezed in an hour's Christmas shopping while the McKays were lunch ing. ' A special gift of a let today permits m to say "Aloha" to night to you. Peg.
