At ag luncheon party for wo- men of the press some months ago, she admitted the occasion was in the nature of a farewell ~--apd her eyes glistened with tears. Not tl she regrets 3 ulshing the title and duties of irst Lady. It's not that, but it that marks the end of a historic "#plsode, and her émotlon is one sentiment rather than sadness. She has been spending more_ and more time at the Eisenhower home in Gettysburg these past four years. Practically all of her personal possessions have been moved there. Moving out of the White House, for that reason, will be far less of a change for her than many previous first ladies. Mamie Eisenhower has been a First 'Lady with a strong sense of history. It was the first thing that awed her, on coming to live in the White House--that feeling of "being a part of history," she once put it to a friend. Evidence of her feeling is the energetic way in which she went about securing missing china representing "previous White = House tenants. 'Through her ef- forts the record is now complete as with pieces of china from the Coolidge, Harding. Taft, and "Johnson families so that every administrdtion is now represent- ed in the display on the ground floor. . The Eisenhowers themselves are leaving as their contribution the stunning pieces of gold cas- tleton china used at White House dinners during their oc- Mamie Eisentioniy with her into retirement the memories of one of the most glamorous social eras the White House has. ever known. No President. and First Lady have ever entertained as many high- ranking foreign guests as the Eisenhowers. And when it comes to enter- taining Mrs. Eisenhower is a erfectionist. Everything must e in place, with not even the brush of a footprint on the rug. No one_underestimated her feel- ings on this score. Newswomen who came to view the table decorations before a state dinner were invariably and | firmly cautioned by Mrs, Mary Jane McCatfree, Mrs. Eisenhow- qr's social secretary, "not to step Mamie Eisenhower will go down in history as one of the ost graclous hostesses the hile House has ever had, She had a gift for making a guest feel welcome. And when feted at luncheon after luncheon 'ard fashion show after fashion show, she always had managed to con- vey * the impression of genuine enjoyment. : Her radiant smile and rm, friendly way of greeting people put every guest somehow made him feel he is a V.ILP., whatever his social official status.

The first party of its kind ever held at the executive mansion, writes Josephine Ripley in the Christian Science Monitor. Nor did she forget the wives of members of the Marine Band and orchestra' who play for so- cial functions "at the White House. They were her special guests at tea only recently--the first time in thirty years, it was® said, that wives of the musicians have been entertained at the White House. One unusual White House guest, some years ago, was the wife of a soldier in Korea whose invitation to tea with the First Lady followed receipt of a letter from the soldier requesting the invitation as a kind of Christmas present for his wife. While the women of the press - were disappointed that Mrs. Eisenhower did not hold press conferences, they wwe to--the present First Lady the only in- invitation they ever had to a formal luncheon at the White House, complete with the best china, elaborate table decora- tions, and White House special- ties on the menu. Fashionwise Mrs. Eisenhower has dressed to suit her own style, and always been listed among the "ten best-dressed wo- men." Her clothes have been smart and simple in design, full- skirted and generaliy colorful. She likes colors and wears them well, even bright red. Because she is petite she chooses small hats. And if she has established a fashion trade- mark of her own it is in the colored gloves often chosen to match these hats. oT In decor her liking for pink is well known. An article in the current issue of Good House- keeping tells of a White House servant who was sent out to buy some flannel for bags to cover the mops. When he returned with pink flannel the housekeeper express-. ed surprise. "But everything else around here is pink," he said, "so we may as well have pink mops." Many events, personal as "well have marked the Eisenhower tenancy of the White House. Mrs. Eisenhower has seen. her husband recover from two illnesses during the past eight years; she has known the thrill of having a grandchild born at Now, moving to Gettysburg will be "just going home" --to a private life at long last. Shed A Tear For Poor Cold Liz! Following a : much- publicized -- illness that held up production of "Cleopatra" for seven weeks (and led to a still-unsettled dis- pute between Twentieth Cen- tury-Fox and Lloyd's of London over a $2,380,000 insurance claim), film star Elizabeth Tay- lor reported back to work--her temperamental teeth chattering. It was so chilly (40 degrees) in the British studio where the pic- ture is being made that Liz sat' bundled in her dressing room for hours; only after the heat came up did she go through with the day's main chore--trying on flimsy Egyptian gowns. ~~ Smallest compact on the mar- ket we know of is made in De- the shape of roller skates power- ed with a one- -horsepower en- gine strapped to the "motorists" back. ~ Obey the traffic signs -- the "Are placed there for YOU SAFETY.

As the only doctor in a rura! area in the Far West, Kastine got a call one night from a hos- pital 2 miles away. There had been a gunfight. An innkeeper, named Brown, was in the emeér- gency room with a serious chest wound. Kastine tried in vain to get hold of a laboratory technician to type Brown's blood. "Since it was obvious that the man was within minutes of death, I decid- rd to take .a chance with my own type, O, Rh-positive," recalls Dr. Kastine. While making the trans- fusion, the technician turned up, typed the patient's blood, -and found it was the same as Dr. Kastine's. gs a In the small rural hospital, | 1 SOUTHERNER Brazilian ac- tress-singer Vanja Origo rests. between stops on her theatri- cal tour of Italy.

Then the patient's well-to-do wife arrived, demanded the best care for her husband, and said she would be responsible for all bills. "For the next four and one- half months, Brown got the very best care, including more hospi- count," relates Kastine bitterly. "Everything went well." When - it came time to send a bill, Dr. Kastine discussed the amount with Brown himself.. The figure agreed on was $750, and Brown not only thought it was fair, but wanted to give Kastine a present as well. > Two years went by. The bill was not paid.

First thing we know there won't be any excitement at, all. The Festive season is a thing. of the past; the new T.V. station is on the air, so 1 guess we can all settle down to normal living. Or can we? You never know. The start-of-the-new-year-could -- hardly be called auspicious in regard to world .affairs. Cold wars, hot wars and rumours_of wars. What a world we live in. _And yet our everybody life goes _ on much as usual. In that respect we have been: doing quite a stint of baby-sit- ting lately -- for family and neighbours. Ross and Cedrle were here yesterday as Mummy and Daddy were going out: to dinner. They weren't any trouble at all. Thank goodness all our grandsons have now reached the - age when they don't indulge in crying spells when their parents leave them. How times change, even with: children. Just recent- ly I have been browsing over a couple of diary-account books -- 1921-22: That was when. we lived on the Saskatchewan prairie I had forgotten Dorothy was late in walking; took her first steps -at 17 months and had only. four - teeth at a year old. Nowadays a baby is backward if he doesn't walk at a year old or cut his first teeth at six to eight months. What else can it be but improved feeding? Dee had little else but milk, cream of .wheat and-cod---- dled eggs for the first 18 months. - Canned 'baby food didn't exist at that time. However she grew and thrived but at a slower pace. One entry mentions meas- les. Temperature 104 -- and I didn't have a doctor. She also had frequent attacks of croup Why the difference? Half a teaspoon would produce vomiting and thus clear the bronchial tubes. Another unforgettable experi- ence was Dee falling while carry- ing a glass, She cut a huge cuanha wine, gash in the palm'of her hand, It- should ~have "been stitched but there was no doctor. The best I could do was phone a neighbour who had been a nurse. She came over and between us we got the bleeding stopped. Dee still has the scar as a momento, The weather occasionally came In for casual comment. One en- try says briefly -- "Cold today -- 45 below zero this morning." Another entry -- "Had a party here last night -- 12 came. Stormy, 35 below, team got away." "Team got away" -- that's a story in itself. I re- member it as if it were yester- day. Gert Siddall (the nurse) had said she would come over to help me if Partner would pick her up on his way home from the village -- which he did. It had already started to" storm. Driving up to the backdoor with the team and sleigh, he left the horses standing while he brought groceries and blankets into, the house. In that {few minutes a blizzard blew up and when Partner went out the horses were nowhere to be seen. Presumably they had headed for the shelter of the stable. But they got lost. It was not until. the storm was over that Partner dar- ed to look for them or he would have got lost too. He found the horses in a field near the barn where they had run round and round in circles. The sleigh had upset and one shaft was broken. You have to know the west to realize how a thing like that could happen -- and how easy it" "is to get lost. Somethimes, in a storm, Partner would. set up a rope line from the house to the barn. It was the only way he could be sure of finding his way back again. In spite of it all, it was a wonderful life. Children Should Be Taught Thrift Has thrift become out-model? Is it far too old-fashioned for _ the tempo of modern life? In a day when almost anything you want can be acquired without 'the expenditure of a nickel -- immediately, that is -- it won't seem to surprising if many peo- "ple say they.can't be bothered to save money, and pay oash when they -buy-something, But thrift is not a dead issue, although it could become one. Take children, for instance. Columnist Sylvia Porter asks if parents are doing their duty by instilling thrifty habits in' their children? Not as much as they should, Children should - be warned against over-indulgence in the 'buy-now-pay-later" phil- osophy. Can children save? Certainly they can. Small boys are hoard- ers by nature. Think not? Turn out their pockets and see what youn find. Look in their hidey- holes and wonder at the loot stored there. This hoarding in- - stinct can be turned to good account. - Tell - them about the great oak and the little acorn.
