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.

Mr. Roosevelt, reportedly
in line for a Kennedy adminis

nedy villa in Palm 'Beach
twice during the President's
