Bartlett SP 3-7551 . Free Demonstration Thursday's mall brought a note and some cliDDines from Evelyn Durno, wife of Congressman Edwin Durno, with news of the gala party which President and Mrs. Kennedy gave Tuesday night for members of Congress and their wives. Kind Mrs. Durno had mailed the material in answer to a reauest from Potpourri, who believes that readers the feminine ones,, anyhow, are interested in the social "doings" back in Washington. Mrs. D. wrote briefly that Wednesday morning's tele. vision programs said the White House party was the most eiarjorate social event held there in 40 years, and the Wash ington Post story began by noting that "The President and Mrs. Kennedy stepped down' the magnlflclent White House stairway last night to greet members' of Congress and intro duce them to the Cabinet of the. New. Frontier. The Ken nedys, all eyes focused on them, paused briefly in the marble foyer while the U.S. Marine band played Ihe traditional "Hall to the Chief" then abandoned formality and the cus tomary receiving line to mingle casually with their 1200 guests at tne wmte House reception." "The nation's first couple, with Vice President and Mrs, Lyndon B. Johnson, ended up by opening the dancing in the East Room to the tune of 'Mister Wonderful. In the middle of the number, the Kennedys and the Johnsons switched their partners. General dancing began with the second number. Love Paris' played in honor of the First Lady." The story continued by saying that the Kennedys circu lated among their guests all during the party, sometimes together and sometimes in different rooms, and that the party was completely bi-partisan. Senator Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, GOP national chairman, danced for a time with Mrs. Kennedy the Mortons were celebrating their 30th wed ding anniversary. Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg did not Join in the rush to dance with- the First Lady but said "Like the younger generation, I'm' sticking with one ,girl' ana lea ms wite, to the dance floor. A White House aide said that the Kennedvs had decided to abandon the receiving line, because It took all the party ume ior mis, ana aeciaea tney would be able to greet more guests by just circulating. Queen Mother Elizabeth, it was said, did the same thing when she visited Washington a num ber of years ago and was honored at a formal Dartv given Dy me wasmngton press. She refused to "stand pat ' and moved among the guests all evening. Dorothy McCardle, the Post writer, said the First Lady was "radiant last night in a gown of pink and white straw lace worn with matching pink slippers. In the length of her gown, she fell in step with tradition. It was floor length, as custom nas prescribed for decades at these late evening white tie receptions at the White House. Lady Bird Johnson wore the same dress she wore to the Inaugural Balls last January a beautiful salmon pink gown." Mrs. Durno had written that there were "chiffons, silks and satins many beautiful gowns, but the loveliest was that of Mrs. Kennedy Sr., the President's mother." The Post re corded that the youthful-looking mother of the President, who is 70 years old, was "trimly beautiful as she greeted the men who are implementing the President's congressional pro gram from Capitol Hill. The President's mother, wearing a white sheath embroidered in a shocking pink floral design highlighted with brilliants, entered the reception ahead of the Kennedys. She will be at! the White House until Thurs day, then goes to Boston. She said last night that she will spend the summer on the French Riviera." Mrs. McCardle also wrote that usually such parties at the White House have begun at 9, Instead of 10 p.m. There were two buffet tables, one In the formal State Dining Room and the second In the East Room. There was hot chicken with rice, little sandwiches and cakes; unsplked punch was served in the East Room, and spiked beverage in the State Dining Room. (Potpourri would like to know how much it costs to give a party for 1200 people.) In Mrs. Durno's quick note she wrote that she and her husband had attended the opening of the annual Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution the night before and that Wcdnesdav nluht thnv hn iii.i to the home of the Hal Shorts, formerly of Portland, for a family dinner. In a postscript she said "I'm off to a meeting of the 87th Congress club." Mrs. Durno left out just one bit of Infnrmoti we would like to have Included here a description of the gown which she wore.
