Washington, D,
Dear Marian:
C, Dec. 27
Christmas 3000 miles from
home for the first time turned
out to be a truly wonderful
time as Washingtonians are
hospitable and friends here
nd at home were exceptional
ly kind. The weather was per
fect, crisp, clear days and
tarry nights. Driving back
from the Virginia side of the
Potomac on Christmas Eve, the
waning moon made a glittering
surface on the reflecting pool
between the Washington Mon
ument and the Lincoln Me
morial Washington is always
beautiful city but especially
to with the gay Christmas
lights and decorations, includ
ing the large tree on the White
House south lawn and the two
on either side of the door on
the north portico. Mrs, Eisen
hower added a Christmas
touch to the tree lighting cere
monies early Christmas eve
when with her dark mink coat
ihe wore a bright red dress
with matching hat and gloves.
Christmas decoration brev
ities: An interesting theme was
developed in the windows of
one large department store
where each window illustrated
couplet from "The Night Be
fore Christmas." From dancing
sugar plums over the heads of
the bedded-down children to
tiny mice asleep by a iireplace,
the displays had constant
crowds of both children and
adults who exclaimed over the
many, many details. A corner
window had a near-blizzard of
mow with a Santa Claus peer
ing through. At another store
40-inch high mechanized dolls
in a Victorian setting were en
gaged in various Christmas
preparations. The pre-Christ-mas
scene at the huge Penta
gon was a bustling city in it
self with the horde of employes
able to take care of virtually
all C h r i st m a s requirements
without leaving the building.
Gifts could be bought, giit
wrapped, mailed, trees and
greens and cards were for sale,
transportation tickets were
available, and food and eggnog
were on sale to carry home. In
my apartment, it seemed like
a Northwest Christmas with
holly, mailed from an appro
priate address Holly Lane,
on Mercer Island, near Seattle,
Oregon mistletoe and holly, a
great box of all kinds of greens
including the pungent juniper
and several sizes of pine cones,
red roses and while the latter
were locally grown they re
minded me of Oregon not only
because of the giver but be-

cause of the mental association
of roses with Oregon. Actually
local Christmas trees look a
little sad after our lovely firs
at home but they respond fair
ly well to decorations.
A week of Christmas parties
wound up today with a Christ
mas wedding ceremony.
Bridesmaids in Christmas
green taffeta dresses carried
arm bouquets of red poinsettias
with red ribbon streamers and
both the church and home were
abloom wiih Christmas. A Uni
versity of Oregon couple, who
graduated last June, Miss Mary
Gillham and Robert Stageberg
were married at the Bethesda
Lutheran church and the re
ception followed at the home
of the bride's parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur A. Steffan. At
tractice, blonde Mary formerly
lived in Portland and Newport
and Bob is a Eugene resident,
now in the Air Force. The
couple will be in California
during Bob's assignment there.
While the majority of the
guests were Washington area
residents, it was a home touch
to hear a "Mighty Oregon"
serenade to the couple as they
drove away. Four University
classmates of the couple, now
living in this vicinity, were the
songsters. One couple, Mr. and
Mrs. James Pearson, respective
ly of Eugene and Portland,
came to Washington this year
for his five-year course in law
at Georgetown university.
"In the Summer House,"
with Judith Anderson starring,
has been received locally with
mixed reactions. One Wash
ington critic gave it the high
est acclaim, both as to content
and acting ability. Others ad
mitted a puzzlement as to what
the play accomplished. Miss
Anderson was great in her role
and the cast too, was excellent,
in my opinion. Like an O'Neill
play one felt frustration in
the time given to portraying
verbally the background of
each character. The general
reaction seemed to be a protest
that there should be so many
one-facet characters and one
wished that there could have
been just one role where there
would be combined the various
personality quirks to make at
least one normal human being.
I am glad I saw the play but
one would hesitate to recom
mend it to others. It goes from
here to New York and critics
are guessing as to its durabil
ity in that city. And may I
add, that after this busy Christ
mas season, I am wondering
about any individual's durabil
ity in this city. Au "voir. Peg.
