mixed feeling about her new
role.

ALL ARE WELCOME
Perhaps we were wrong to decide that the excitement
going on in Washington over the inauguration of a new presi
dent gets wilder every year. When Thomas Jefferson wrote
of the inauguration of George Washington in 1793, he alluded
to the "phrenzy which prevailed in New York on the opening
of the new government." And he related an incident which
makes very Interesting reading.
A portion of Mr. Jefferson's Journal, relayed to Potpourri
by Mrs. E. H. Hedrick after a recent reading, describes the
incident as follows:
"June the 10th, 1793. Mr. Brown gives me the following
specimen of the phrenzy which prevailed at New York on
the opening of the new government. The first public ball
which took place after the President's arrival there, Colonel
Humphreys, Colonel W. S. Smith and Mrs. Knox were to
arrange the ceremonials. These arrangements were as follows.
"A sofa was to be placed at the head of the room, raised
on several steps, whereon the President and Mrs. Washington
were to be seated. The gentlemen were to dance in swords.
Each one, when going to dance, was to lead his partner to
the foot of the sopha make a low obeisance to the President
and his lady, then go and dance, and when done, bring his
partner again to the foot of the sopha for new obeisances, and
then retire to their chairs. It was to be understood, too, that
gentlemen should be dressed in bags.
"Mrs. Knox contrived to come with the President, and
to follow him and Mrs. Washington to their destination, and
she had the design of forcing an invitation from the Presi
dent to a seat on the sopha. She mounted up the steps after
them unbidden, but unfortunately the wicker sopha was so
short, that when the President and Mrs. Washington were
seated, there was not room for a third person; she was
obliged, therefore, to descend in the face of the company,
and to sit where she could. In other respects the ceremony
was conducted rigorously according to the arrangements, and
the President made to pass an evening which his good sense
rendered a very miserable one to him."
Mrs. Hedrick added that "There is also a letter to Jeffer
son from a friend who recounts the same incident and with
the additional explanation that Martha spread out her hoops
so far that there was no room for Mrs. Knox and that the
room which was completely filled by that time offered only
one place for Mrs. Knox to sit in the far end and some people
did not conceal their amusement at the poor lady's distress."
Journalists will doubtless have a wealth of stories and
anecdotes to report following the close of the Kennedy inau
gural festivities. It would be interesting to know what John
F. Kennedy would say if he gave his honest opinion of the
entire program-the Gala, the Balls, the parade, etc.
It is written that when George Washington learned he
had been elected first President of the United States, he
heard the news with a heavy heart. On the day of his first
inauguration, it was reported that "self doubts rushed over
him like flood; by the time he reached the balcony of the
Federal building at the head of Broad street, where he was
to take the oath of office, he was actually 111 and sank into
the nearest chair. But when the time came, he arose and
in a ringing voice repeated the oath of office with his hand
resting on a large Bible.
It was reported this morning that because of the many
people wishing to attend the Inaugural Ball, it or should
one say they will be held in six different locations.
Meyer Davis, the nation's most famous society band
leader, will play for the Ball. Meyer's band (he actually
supervises a number of dance bands) played for Mrs. Ken
nedy's debut, when she was Jacqueline Bouvier, for her moth
er's wedding, and for the wedding of Jacqueline to Mr.
Kennedy. '
When asked for her preference for music to be played
at the ball, Mrs. Kennedy wrote the leader that "she loved
everything" but did ask him to play his own arrangement of
the "The Waltz From Traviata" for her, and suggested that
he might play "Greenslceves" for her husband. Potpourri
also has a fondness for this old English tune, having come
to know it well through attendance at the Ashland Shake
spearean festival.
The Kennedys will also hear two special numbers com
posed by Mr. Davis and his wife, Hilda Emery Davis, for
the Inauguration, One is "The Inaugural Waltz" and the other
a tune written for Mrs. Kennedy called "Jacqueline." It will
be sung by the Davis daughter, Ginia, in both English and
French.
This will be the seventh Inauguration for which Meyer
Davis has played. In such demand is Mr. Davis for social
events, that he is booked through 1975. Mrs. Pierre S. duPont
has engaged his services in advance for that date when her
granddaughter, Wendy, will make her debut.
The Saturday Review published a few lines in the January
14 Issue which many are finding most amusing. It was called
to the attention of the editors that the 1961 edition of "Infor
mation Please" does not contain the name of John F. Kennedy
in the "Celebrated Persons section. It contains the names
of Dwight David Eisenhower, of Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Richard Milhous Nixon and of Robert t. Kennedy but not
John F. Kennedy. O.S.
