Hagerty the oth er day by the Advertising Club of Washington. Hagerty took the handsome, youthful likeness of himself straight home and prop ped it on the mantel to startle his wife when she came in. It hangs now in the Hagerty den and the Hagertys are very, very pleased with it. An Army wife paid a quiet visit to the hospital's emergency news room the other day to see where the press operated on her favorite surgeon. She is Mrs. Leonard D. Heaton, wife of the Walter Reed commanding offi cer, the man who operated on President Eisenhower. She has been graciously turn ing down requests for interviews since that famous day, and she has not even peeked in on any of the dozens of press conferences, though bursting with curiosity. She is known ai a charming, vi vacious lady, but she leaves the spotlight to her husband.
