WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (Special)
Sixteen hundred Pe-nsylvania
Avenue of this city is just about
the top address in the land. Any
nv, a vast number have longed
In live at this spot which becomes
available every four years. Presi
dent and Mrs. Eisenhower live
there now.
And this past week their major
home project has been the same
that in millions of American
hmes, from the humblest to the
most palatial decorating the
Christmas tree.
When we dropped in to see the
White House being readied for
Cnristmas. Robert M. Redmond
was hanging mistletoe from the
massive chandelier in the front en
ir.ince. Gathered about him was a
iroup of fascinated teen-agers
i'om California, Kentucky, Penn-
. Ivania, and New Jersey. "This
i inn," said one of them, "is in
2rave danger!"
Decorating the White House is
nothing new to horticulturist Red
mond. He has been connected with
ihe White House lawns and its
Mowers since he was a boy of 16
working for the National Park
Service. Except for time out for
military service, he has been at
liic White House in some such ca-l-HCity
ever since. A sergeant in
'orld War Two, he was in the
.'.rmy ceremonial detachment. His
'hree year hitch in the Army over,
he went directly to the White
House. "In fact," said his wife,
Marian, "he has been decorating
i . o houses ever since we were
married and that was thirty years
ago. I'm lucky," she added, "if he
has time to trim a little tree for
nix table." (But she doesn't mind.
All over their home in nearby Vir
ginia are mementos of his connec
tion with the executive mansion,
such as pieces of wood from the
White House when it was being
restored during President Tru
man's regime.)
The East Room was in disarray
hist like the living rooms of house
keepers all over the nation when
ihe tree's being trimmed only the
average family has no need of a
scaffold to enable the man of the
house to hang the topmost star.
Children must be tired of so much
color, for they were delighted with
Ihe great White House tree with
its silver icicles and white globes,
which are in keeping with the
handsome gold and white of this
tremendous room. Quietly they
looked at the beautiful creche near
by with its message of "Peace On
Earth Good Will to Men."
Everywhere one looks in the
White House are scarlet poinset
tias. In the Red Room and the
Green Room they contrast strik
ingly with the damask hangings.
In the Blue Room where the Presi
MRS. ROY HOLBROOK was
hostess to members of the MNO
club for a Christmas party Tues
day. Mrs. Floyd Mehlhoff acted as
Santa Claus for the gift exchange.
"Secret pals" were revealed. A
special prize of a muffy doll was
received by Mrs. Raymond Mc
Dowell. Costumes for the doll were
made during the evening, and Mrs.
LeRoy Karsten received the prize
for the best costume.
The January meeting will be at
the home of Mrs. Karsten.

dent and Mrs. Eisenhower receive
Mr. Redmond has placed white
poinsettias. Here also is a small
tree decorated with blue orna
ments. The State Dining Room is
hung with greens. Centerpieces
change in keeping with table dec
orations for whatever distinguished
guests the President and First
Lady entertain. For the luncheon
given by them for Prime Minister
Nehru and his daughter, Indira
Gandhi, an oval table was decor
ated with Christmas holly and
small vases of scarlet poinsettias.
The silver Hiawatha boat that was
given to President Grant was filled
with red carnations and holly.
Blue and gold china of the Wilson
era was used and the Harrison
crystal.
The gorgeous poinsettia, the
"Flor de Parque" of Mexico, is
also making more beautiful the
National Gallery of Art. Here a
southern visitor reminded us that
it was introduced into the United
States by the distinguished South
Carolinian, General Joel Roberts
Poinsett, then Minister to Mexico.
He was remarkable in his day
(1778-1851) as author, statesman,
orator, scientist, and botanist. He
lived for some time in Greenville,
South Carolina.
In the rotunda of the gallery
Winged Mercury is surrounded by
red and white blooms. In one gar
den court "Cherubs Playing With
a Swan," a fountain from the gar
dens of Versailles, is banked with
red poinsettias. In the opposite
court "Cherubs Playing With a
Lyre" .are likewise surrounded. In
each court are reclining chairs in
viting visitors to forget the fever
of the holidays, relax, and find
their true meaning. Painting of the
week is "The Adoration of the
Magi" by Fra Angellco and Fra
Flllppo Llppl.
Instead of the customary ex
change of gifts at the Women's
National Press Club's Christmas
breakfast for its members, pretty
Bonnie Angelo of Newsday dressed
as Santa Claus and took up a col
lection for Hungarian relief. CARE
director, , Mrs. Raymond Clapper,
reported that the agency had spent
approximately $500,000 on relief
for refugees. She also said that
when Vice President Nixon leaves
for Austria he will take a $20,000
check from CARE in the United
States to CARE in Austria. The
money is to be spent on Christ
mas trees and large bars of choco
late for each Hungarian refugee
child in the country. Mrs. Clapper
emphasized that CARE is lust one
of several agencies helping in this
work. "The church organizations
and the Red Cross are doing mag
nificently and all are very much
in need of your support," she said
