New First Lady Wears Smiles, Elegant Clothes for Inauguration By HELEN THOMAS United Press International Washington-IUPD-He looked at her and she smiled back. He, John Fitzgerald Ken nedy, had just become the President of the United States. And she, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, was the new First Lady of the land. She smiled often and held her head high. The masses of spectators were happy for her, But hearts ached for a woman who sat two seats away from Mrs. Kennedy and who could barely hold back her tears. She was Mrs. Richard Nix on, the woman who might have been First Lady. Her face was a mirror of sadness. At times she tried to smile but most of the time she closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side. Once in a while she heaved a heavy sigh. Her disappointment was not for herself but for her husband, retiring Vice Presi dent Nixon, who lost out to Kennedy in an incredibly close election. Is Elegantly Dressed Mrs. Kennedy, 31, lived up to her reputation for being chic and elegantly simple in her dress. She wore a primly fitted beige coat with a round circlet mink collar, a pill box hat of matching beige sitting on the back of her dark long hair, and carried a matching mink muff. The sleeves of the coat were three - quarter length and she wore long white gloves to cover her arms against the bitterly cold day. She looked delighted and doll-like throughout the cere- mony in front of the Capitol. She kept a small smile on her face, and during her hus band's moving inaugural ad dress her gaze never left his face. The new mistress of the White House had President Eisenhower on her left and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, wife of the new vice president, on her right. Mr. Eisenhower smiled benevolently at her and oc casionally made remarks to her that brought bright smiles to her face. Mrs. Kennedy also chatted with Mrs. Nixon, who wore a bright royal blue satin ribboned hat and a Persian lamb coat. Mrs. Johnson, wife of the new vice president, wore an olive green suit, a matching pillbox hat and a new mink coat - gift of her husband. Mamie Enjoys Herself The outgoing first lady, Mrs. D w i g h t Eisenhower, seemed to be enjoying her self. She appeared to have no regrets about leaving the White House, her home for the past eight years, She beamed often and listened intently to every word of Kennedy's speech Mrs. Eisenhower wore a Chinese red hat and a mink coal. She frequently had to hold' down her little hat in a struggle against the wind The petite and pretty Jac queline seemed in the best of health and spirits. Her com plexion was glowing and while other women on the platform clutched their coats closely around them she did not seem to mind the cold at all. She made the sign of the cross when Richard Cardinal Cushing, who had married her to President Kennedy, began the invocation As she sat on the platform and looked out at all the peo ple who were staring at her. she no doubt was wondering, "Is this what it is to be the first lady? Washington -IUPD- The in augural dance is a misnomer It should be called the in augural stand-around. The thousands of couples who attended the five balls all over town Friday could have danced all night - but they didn't. Instead they preferred to stand en masse, in their ele gant garb, and stare at Presi dent Kennedy, his wife Jac queline and his family. The scene was the same ev erywhere. Finally, President Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson expressed one unfulfilled ambition - "to see someone dance." The music was great for dancing. The champagne flow ed. But word that President Kennedy and his party were on the way seemed to paralyze the crowd. The President and his wife a vision In white, slarted out at the Mayflower hotel inaug ural dance and planned to take in the four other affairs. But the First Lady, still re cuperating from the Caesarean birth of a son in November, went home to the White House -her first night there -after taking in only three of the dances. The Kennedys were gra cious in the face of the white tie gawking. Most of the time they smiled and waved ana were friendly. But sometimes they just stared back. personal friends will be invit ed (o the dinner which starts at R p.m. .
