Wives were urged to sign a petition pleading with their husbands' to adjourn Congress before the dogdays of August so that wives, children and husbands could vacation together. Mrs. Cooper excitedly announced that Astronaut Alan Shepard had landed safely, and we all rattled our coffee cups and gave a muted cheer. We wandered, oohing, and aahing," in the several gar dens: a formal garden, a Jap anese rock garden with wa terfall, a tulip and rose gar den, and around the informal walk bordering dazzling spring' flowers. We spent an hour examining the Russian and French treasures, under the watchful scrutiny of quiet butlers.
