sumptuous

Club' for the Mrs. McLendon
top military
men from every NATO na-
tion except Iceland, who had
a 24-hour stopover in Wash-
ington before starting out
on a grand tour of United
States Army, Navy and Air'
Force research and develop-
ment installations.
I The party started with cock-
tails in the Capital Room and
I then moved down to the
Washington Room, where the
guests were seated in groups
of eight at sixteen tables,
which were gaily decorated.
iwith spring flowers. While
they dined on an epicurean
dinner, beginning with baked
'stuffed deviled crab with hot
, sauce (accompanied by Rhine
?wine) and including broiled
filet mignon with sauce ber-
' naise (with Imperial red
wine), and ending with ices
and champagne, they were
entertained by the Air Force
'Symphony Orchestra.
For the Spanish guests
there were melodieS from
Spain; for the Greeks, there
was the Peer Gynt Suite;
i,beautiful Copenhagen was
played for the Ten from Den-
mark; and, as a special sur-
prise, for Mrs. Quarles, who
is going to New York today
to see "My Fair Lady' there

? summer took a leave of ab-
sence to play the. lead in
the Broadway hit, "Carmen

? dle East. There was also ac-;
cordion music, and a medley,
of lilting German waltzes
played by the "Strolling
