Opera, the visiting ladies, from
Goldsboro, each with a corsage of
beautiful white orchids, were
guests of the wife of the Ambas
sador from China, Mme Wei, in
ler box, which was quite near to
the box in which the President of
the United States and Mrs. Tru
man enjoyed the music that eve
ling.
Festive Gatherings
Whenever the “Jack” Thorpes
:ome to town, tension eases and
small festive gatherings spring up
ike mushrooms. After a half-doz
;n or more informal fetes last
week, Mrs. Thorpe took over the
lostess reins and invited a num
ber of close friends for luncheon
at the Carlton last Saturday to one
if the nicest luncheons of the sea
son. Adding no little gayety to the
iccasion was the genial “Jack,”
who “crashed” his wife’s lunch
son, getting away earlier from a
business appointment than he had
roped! Guests included Mrs. Al
iert L. Cox, smart looking in a
arge white hat. that looked like
m enlarged pom-pom and was
immensely becoming; Miss Ami
Jurrier, who knows flocks of Tatr
Heels, having called Tarboro
‘home” for a number of years,
Mrs. Kenneth C. Royall, Mrs.
Chapman Revercomb and several
ithers. At a nearby table sat Mrs.
Hayes, who is twin sister of the
Hever Miss Meredith Howard and
also close by was Representative
Uare Luce, who was hostess that
avening with the British Ambas
sador and the Countess of Halifax
among those present and also
general and Mrs. Jacob DeverS(
well-known down home, and Gen
eral and Mrs. Raymond A. Wheel
er, the Army’s new Chief of Engi
neers, who was in command of
U. S. Forces in the CBI theater
and who succeeded Lieut. Gen.
Eugene Reybold. Both of these
famous generals have made their
homes in many different sections
of the Old North State, particular
ly Wilmington.
From the Thorpe luncheon, the
guests rushed ever the home of
Mrs. Charles Gardiner in Spring
Valley where a number of women,
by special invitation, gathered in
the attractive flower-decked draw
ing room to hear Maidame Alfred
Jonniaux, wife of the Bielgian
Court Artist, tell of the part brave
individuals played in the struggle
for survival in war-tom Europe.
The Countess is even lovelier than
the pictures of the famous paint
ing of her by her husband and
Saturday she enthralled her listen
ers with her graphic description
of her experiences in Paris when
war was declared, her life there
until four days before the Nazi
hordes swept in and the flight to
what was then called “Free
France.” All in all it was a very
profitable and pleasurable pro
gram of tile National Society of
Arts and Letters. Hiere was an
announcement, too, that afternoon,
of especial interest to North Caro
linians, for the art committee of
which Mrs. Naomi Robb (Robert
A.) Winston is chalirman, has
awarded two scholarships in a
contest open to boys and girls in
the senior years of the High
schools in Washington and vicini
ty. The winner will receive a $450
scholarship, and the runner-up will
receive a $225 partial scholarship,
including a year’s tuition in art.
Still another fete in honor of the
visiting Mrs. Thorpe was the
luncheon Wednesday at the May
flower with Mrs. Kenneth C. Roy
all ranking guest. Also seated
around the table were Mrs. Lind
say Warren, wife of the Comp
troller General of the United
States, Mrs. T. Lamafr Caudle,
wife of the Assistant to the At
torney General; Mrs. W. O. Bur
gin, Mrs. Fred W. Morrison and
Mrs. John K. Slear. One of the
nicest evenings during the visit of
Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe was spent
as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar
Cox, (she was Miss Louise Black,
native North Carolinian) in their
new home, which was formerly
leased by the Secretary of War,
Robert Patterson and Mrs. Patter
son.
More Parties
More visitors causing a flurry
of partying were Mr. and Mrs.
William Joyner of Raleigh, and
Mrs. Winslow of Hertford, who
were guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Sydney Prince, at their home in
Chevy Chase. Highlights of their
visit were the dinner given in their
honor Tuesday evening with the
guests i n c 1 u d ing such distin
guished North Carolinians ®<s the
Kenneth Royalls and Mr. and Mrs.
Harry DeButts; and the Cocktail
Hour Wednesday with numerous
members from the North Carolina
Colony in attendance.
The “Standing Room Only” sign
went out early the afternoon Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was guest
speafcer at the Congressional Club
tea. Members of the Club, com
posed of wives of members of Con
gress are accustomed to seeing
important personalities — but the
appearance of the former supreme
commander of the Allied Forces
proved to be a drawing card
which broke all attendance rec
ords at the Club’s afternoon af
fairs. There to hear the General
were Mrs. Thomas Anthony Wad
den, Mrs. W, O. Burgin, Mrs.
Harold Cooley, Mrs. Lindsay War
ren, Mrs. Thorpe, Mrs. Caleb C.
Motz and a goodly number of
others.
Mrs. Claude Bizzell said her
adieux at a dozen farewell fetes
last week before she left for her
home in Raleigh, accompanied by
her daughter, Sally, after a short
sojourn in the Capital. Bringing to
a climax the farewell parties that
cluttered up her last days in
Washington was the bridge-fare
well dinner given by Mr. and Mrs.
Stanley Wohl in their home—a
veritable antique - lover’s haven,
because they have worlds of in
teresting period furniture, glass
and silver.
Other Carolinians who are being
feted at a distance, are Dr. and
Mrs. William A. Morgan who are
enjoying a continuous round of
fiestas in Cuibad Trujillo, as the
guests of President Trujillo. The
occasion of the trip to the Do
minican Republic was the opening
of the hospital for workers dedi
cated to Dr. Morgan and named
in his honor in appreciation of the
rare he gave Dominicans suffer
ing from throat infections.
ourgeon General and Mrs. Nor
ma® T. Kirk held the first of sev
eral winter parties recently at
their quarters, with guests includ
ing a large number of army of
ficers, among them, General and
Mrs. J. Steven Simmons. Assisting
them in receiving were Lt. and
Mrs. Marvin R. Kimbrell who
have just returned from North
Carolina and Mrs. Kimbrell’s
daughter, Mrs. Halrry L. Willard,
both daughters of the Surgeon
General and Mrs. Kirk.
North Carolina Democrats in
Washington trekked to the Willard
hotel for the annual banquet and
ball in honor of the state’s con
gressional delegation. Almost to a
member, the Congressmen were
on hand and with many of them
were their wives, who in most
cases had come to town just for
the event. Also in the group of
honor guests were Miss Cecila
Durham, daughter of Representa
tive and Mrs. Durham of Chapel
Hill, and the attractive daughter

of Representative and Mrs. Bar
den, who came up with Agnes, tc
attend her first Washington
“Ball.” There was just enough
speech-making to point up the eve
ning) with echoes of the talks by
Senator H o e y, Congressman
Doughton and Mr, Umpstead re
verberating throughout this week.
Hal Thomerson, aided, of course,
by his pretty wife, Billie, put on
a grand party—and won round aft
er round of applause, presenting
everyone in turn — and leaving
practically no one off of the pro
gram, Mrs. Mary C. Murphy did
the impossible and rounded up the
receiving line from the throngs of
merry-makers. And Mrs. Mabel
Cooley Downey carried off the
silver bowl for having sold the
largest number of tickets to- the
banquet, thereby assuring it’s suc
cess. It was “Field Day” for the
Fourth District. For not only was
Mrs. Downey awarded a prize, but
the silver bowl offered the District
having the largest number present
was presented to Mrs. Cooley, in
the absence of Representative
Cooley, who is in China, at the
moment.
Prior to th e reception and
banquet, and afterward, Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Erwin entertained at
cocktails in one of the suites in
! the hotel for a number of their
friends who attended the festivi
ties that evening.
Mrs. Newman A. Townsend who
has been spending several days
with her son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. William Cochrane is
home again. Mr. and Mrs. Jerome
