To You
From
Washington
by
Ethelyn Evans
Washington, D. C. (Spl.)
"White House Garden Parties"
are thrilling! My first was a
smallish one many years ago
almost the last official party
given by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge.
This year I've reported on three,
besides a brief "look-see" on
two cold, stormy days when
the "Youth Congress" and the
"3,000 Democratic Worn n"
were greeted from the south
portico, and also when the kid
dies rolled their Easter eggs
on the lawn.
All garden parties follow a
quite similar pattern yet there
are interesting differences. This
year the splashing fountains are
outlined with wide bands of
scarlet tulips which are in turn
ringed by lovely pansies. The
magnolia, dogwood, redbud and
forsythia bloom gayly while the
fine old elms spread shade and
look down benignly. It's an
old, old story to themt
There Is a platform for the
Marino band in scarlet coats;
the young military and naval
aides (cream of the service)
wear white and gold uniforms
and white gloves; ushers and
secretaries who now seem like
old friends are out In force,
plus scads of secret service men
who look ilke anything in the
world but detectives. They are
plainclothes men, so called; the
White House police, of course
wear snappy uniforms.
To all except the three semi
public affairs last mentioned
above, the social secretary is
sues non-transferable invita
tions. Inclosing door and wind
shield cards. The guards can
be and often are really hard
boiled about these cards.
THE recent party for the Red
Cross was a mass of color,
with all workers and volunteers
in varicolored uniforms and men
and women delegates to their
national convention wearing
bright ribbon badges and glit
tering Red Cross pins.
Late, on the same afternoon,
women government workers
holding executive or appointive
positions were received. Mrs.
Roosevelt headed the line, as
sisted by Mrs. Garner (for a
brief time! and the wives of
cabinet officers, or their sub
stitutes. Some were not as expert as
the First Lady in grasping the
hand and gently pulling the
guest on by, so we saw some
women in the line rubbing ach
ing right arms. In fact, petite
Mrs. Noble, representing Harry
Hopkins' department of com
merce, was all but ready for
an ambulance call. She had
nodded her pert little hat and
clusters of curls all awry, her
arm was practically paralyzed,
and her ankles numb from
standing for hours on htgh
heeled sandals. For the first
time, secretaries to these wo
men officials were Invited this

1"HI "veterans" reception was
next The gaiety was much
. like laughing to hide one's tears.
; Red Cross ambulances brought
many. A line of veterans and
: nurses In wheel chairs even in
! casts sat near the band and
were objects of solicitous care
by scores of Red Cross and
regular nurses. Both the Presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt receiv
ed that day. He came in his
car and sat beneath an elm,
while Mrs. Roosevelt stood at
his side wearing a beautiful
Eleanor blue lace gown and hat
to match.
' This was the day before Mr.
Roosevelt presented his defense
plan and report to congress, and
he looked very tired, but was
laughing and vivacious as he
shook bands with his guests
uniformed men smartly saluting
their commander-in-chief. In
the line was an adorable three-year-old
boy in the complete
uniform of marine officer.
Each state was represented by
a girl from the Veterans' Bu
reau, and Oregon's choice was
pretty young Julia Leatherman
from Coquille, Ore.
Mrs. CordeU Hull almost
late fairly ran across the lawn
to greet the President before
he and his wife entered the
car for a drive about the
grounds. Mrs. Roosevelt stayed
and mingled with the crowd,
but the President was taken
back to his office. Admiral
Richard E. Byrd Just arrived
to plead the cause of his Ant
arctic expedition before con
gress was there In white sum
mer uniform.
Refreshments are always de
licious cakes and raspberry fla
vored lemonade punch served
on attractive tables beneath
candy striped marquees, al
though for the veterans, ice
cream and sandwiches were
added. Upon advice of the gar
deners, the long, winding lines
of guests and also the receiving
line keep moving to the right
at intervals to avoid trampling
the lawn beyond renewal.
DEAL stars in this columnist
game Pegler, Thompson,
Lindley, et al, seem to thrive
on controversies in print from
time to time. Mayhap I'll start
a mild argument with a big
wire service, since we're on the
subject of White House teas, et
cetera: Right smack on page
1 of my favorite paper (M. M.
T.) I saw a story to the effect
that the entire D. A. R. dele
gation this spring was practical
ly aghast with surprise at be
ing invited to tea at the White
House, account Mrs. Roosevelt
having resigned.
Now, I worked alongside that
newswrlter a lot that week, and
we sat on the front row when
Mrs. Roosevelt explained that!
of course a D. A. R. White
House tea would be held as
usual and always even the ex
act hour and day of the week
are always the same, you know.
The D. A. R.'s have visited their
country's executive mansion for
the past SO years, "lrregardless,"
as Amos and Andy might say,
of who might be the presiding
chatelaine at the moment. The
OREGON
THI
surprise would come only If
the visit were omitted from
the program.
Not that It really matters,
but of course my co-worker
found no really surprised daugh
ter not even herself. Tired of
reporting prosaic routine, one
chance glance at some mem
ber's quizzically raised eyebrow
and she was off on her story.
Not that one can blame her
who wouldn't want to hit the
front page?
L
Public announcement was
made of the resignation of the
Rev. Fred P. Thompson, Jr., as
pastor of the Central Avenue
Church of Christ. Mr. Thompson
said he was leaving here to pur
sue graduate studies. His state
ment follows:
"I have resigned from the
ministry of the Central Avenue
Church of Christ, having served
the congregation since Septem
ber, 1939. All of my relations
th the church have been of
the happiest nature.
"Only one consideration
prompts me to terminate this
work and that is the opportunity
to continue my education. I am
returning to southern California
to take graduate work in the
Pacific Bible seminary. Long
Beach. For no other reason
would I consider leaving.
I take this opportunity to
express my sincere appreciation
for the co-operation and kind
ness with which the church has
met my efforts."
