Capital Avvhirl With Parties

Gen, Eisenhower Is Decorated;

Other Fetes Attract Throngs

By Margaret Hart,

Society Editor,

An “embarrassment of riches"

appeared on Washington’s social

calendar yesterday. Topped with a

reception at the Haitian Embassy

honoring Gen. Dwight D. Eisen

hower, Allied supreme commander

in Europe, the day boasted four

other sizable parties. With the set

tings of the events so generally

scattered guests really had to hurry

in order to make the rounds. Old

timers in the social setup will say

five entertainments in one after

noon was nothing at all during

peacetime. They will reminisce on

the times when all the cabinet

hostesses held receptions on the same

afternoon and how they attended

every one. Then they will recall

that perhaps later the same day

a dinner party &nd one of the

fashionable charity balls often was

included on their program. But,

transportation then was easy. Lit-;

tie thought had to be given as to

how to get from one place to the

other. If you did not use your

own car you could always phone

for a taxi—and get one. Gasoline

and tires were things you never

dreamed would be rationed. I re

member well the Hhiousine assigned

fn this department for the cover

ing of the social whirl. Yesterday

friends pooled their cars, many went

to their destination by pickup cabs

or by bus and there were not a few

who went afoot.

The party yesterday for the Na

tion’s hero began at 5 o'clock, and

fortunately the other festivities
