Creator of Famous Teddy Bear Takes Honors for Him at Fete

The Speaker of the House, Representative Sam Rayburn, spent some time yesterday afternoon waiting for Mr. Clifford K. Berryman to cut the birthday cake inscribed in the icing “Happy Birthday Teddy. 1902- 1943.”

The fete was given to celebrate the 41st birthday anniversary of Clifford K. Berryman’s Teddy Bear. The famous cub first appeared November 21, 1902, when the late President Theodore Roosevelt was returning from a hunting trip in the South—without a bear. Mr. Berry- man’s cartoon showed the Rough Rider President with the now-famous Teddy Bear, all brought out from the story of an overanxious guide telling T. R. to get his gun, “here is a bear,” and producing only the little brown cub, which, of course, the President did not shoot. Since the close of the Theodore Roosevelt administration, Teddy has appeared only with Uncle Sam.

Attracting considerable attention from the guests was the handsome wood carving by Gibson M. Crockett showing a teddy bear holding a

sketching pen with an overturned inkwell at his feet mounted on an

artist’s drawing board. The whole is carved and put together with miniature wooden pegs and was

done by Mr. Crockett, who is a mem-

ber of the art department of The Evening Star, and presented to Mr. Berryman.

The party yesterday afternoon was given by the American News- paper Women's Club in its attrac- tive headquarters at 1604 Twen- tieth street where hangs the -or-

ganization’s first possession, an orig- inal drawing of "Teddy.”

Guests yesterday included Senator Ellison D. Smith “who kept the Democratic Faith” according to his inscription in the guest book, and Mrs. Smith, and Representative Sol Bloom who accompanied his daugh- ter, Miss Vera Bloom, who is an associate member of the club. Others there were: several Evening Star colleagues of Mr. Berryman, who was honor guest for the famous bear, as well as one or two of his co-workers on the Washington Post when the bear first made its appearance. Mr. Ira Bennett, former editor of the Post, inscribed the guest book, "I was on the Washington Post when Cliff originated the Teddy Bear.” He was

accompanied by Mrs. Bennett and another writer on that paper in the early days of Teddy, Mrs. Sam- uel L. Burton, formerly Kitty Thompson Berry, who then was miftfc editor. The honorary presi- dent of the club, Kate Scott Brooks, whose newspaper career began as music editor on that paper, was

among others at the fete. Mrs. Berryman was unable to be

present owing to illness but sent a basket of large chrysanthemums in autumn shades to the Teddy Bear. Other decorations included a cluster of mauve chrysanthemums in an attractive vase in the center of the tea table sent by Senora cle Munilla, wife of the Military Attache of the Cuban Embassy, wlW with him attended the the party. Also used yesterday were paper napkins appropriate to the Thanks- giving season, sent to the club by- Mrs. Jacob Legnder Loose, an as- sociate member, now in her home in Kansas City.

Small and large ginger cookies cut in bears and smaller ones in stars were among the features of the refreshments and assisting through the afternoon and early evening were two schoolgirls. Mar- garet Cook and Marguerite Boyer, who not only served the guests, but saw to it that plates were re- plenished.

Miss Genevieve Reynolds of the Past, first vice president of the club, received the guests in the absence of the president. Miss Alice* Evers- man. of The Evening Star, who ar- rived after the concert yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Berryman was accompanied | yesterday by his daughter, Miss Florence Berryman, and among other guests were Mr. Rudolph Max Kauffmann. the superintendent of the National Zoological Park, and Mrs. William M. Mann who were there without a bear, those at the Zoo being “too old for parties.”

Parties Honor

Navy Artists and Senator Barkley

Several late afternoon parties yes- terday were of much interest to a

large section of diplomatic, official and residential society.

The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Frank Knox opened the exhi- bition of the Abbott Collection of Naval Aviation paintings now. on view at the National Gallery of Art and the reception which followed was planned in their honor and for the artists. The reception was held at the Carlton, where Lt. Robert Parsons, U. S. N., received the guests with Mr. C. De Witt Clough. Uni- forms of the Navy were much in evidence, but the Army held its own

among the guests. The artists whose works are a

part of the Abbott collection are Don Freeman of San Diego, now a

private on duty at Camp Gruber, Okla.; Joseph Hirsch of Philadel- phia, George Schreiber, born in Belgium, now of this country; Adolf Dehn of Minnesota, Howard Baer of Pennsylvania, Lawrence Beall Smith, a native of the District of Columbia, and Robert Benney of New York.

The long buffet table was laid in the center of the Carlton room, and small tables with chairs about them were at intervals on each side of the room, and here groups of guests gathered for refreshment and con- versation. A tall vase filled with red, white and blue blossoms was in the center of the table, and about the room clusters of autumn flowers were in bowls and vases.

Several hundred invited guests assembled at the home of Mrs. Ed- ward T. Stotesbury for the annual birthday party given by Mrs. Stotes- bury and her son, Mr. James H. R. Cromwell, in honor of Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky.

Mrs. Stotesbury received in a gown of black satin made with a full shirt that draped in long, deep folds, and an overjacket made of black dotted net. Diamond and pearl earrings and a necklace of pearls fastened with a diamond clasp completed her costume.

Mrs. Barkley, who has spent very little time in Washington recently, was present, and other guests in- cluded members of the diplomatic corps with their wives, justices of the Supreme Court and their wives and scores of members of the Senate and House and their wives. Resi- dential society also was there in almost countless numbers.

By the Way— --Beth Blaine-

We asked Mrs. Harold J. Cool- idge, jr., of Boston * what part she thinks social life in Wash- ington plays in helping interna- tional understanding. Mrs. Cool- idge is well qualified to answer this question. She has been one of the leading spirits In the United Nations Club ever since her husband came to Washing- ton to a do a war job for the Government and she established the Coolidge home here.

Mrs. Coolidge pointed out that, in Washington’s international group, the men are under exact- ing pressure and the great ma-

jority of their wives hold full- time jobs. Therefore she thinks it logical that in the evening so-

cial life should play and im- portant role for them in relaxa- tion and in the making of new

friends. ‘‘For this reason," said Mrs. Coolidge, “the United Na- tions Club has for two years tried to create a pleasant back- ground and meeting place for members of the various diplo- matic and foreign missions sta- tioned in Washington. Especial- ly is the club useful to the junior members of delegations who have less opportunity for social life than the ranking members."

It is impossible to list the nu- merous and important interna- tional contacts which have re-

sulted from the United Nations Club's social and educational evenings. Even such activities as the educational foreign and documentary movies, the round- table discussions, and the eve- nings of organized games are

planned to allow at least an hour during which members and their guests can chat and be intro- duced to each other.

The eight or nine different foreign languages which one may hear spoken at the United Na- tions Club give unequalled op- portunity to the members of the club who are studying modern languages. Mrs. Coolidge says that no matter what foreign language a member may be learning, he or she will find op- portunity to practice it with some fellow-member of the United Nations Club who is a

native of the country in ques- tion.

Mrs. Coolidge is very much at home in an international group. She has traveled extensively in Europe and has lived for a num-

ber of years in the Far East where her husband was doing exploration and research. Add that Mrs. Coolidge has a warm, friendly manner and a sincere liking for people and you have a picture of a charming lady do- ing a useful and congenial job.

College Girls Put Hearts in War, Student Says By Catherine Hambley.

“Heck, I’m an American!” ex-

claimed blond Aune Kangas when asked if she had any yearning to go to Finland, the birthplace of her parents. As president of the Zeta Chapter, Sigma Kappa So- rority, George Washington Univer- sity, Miss Kangas has a lot to say about her sorority sisters and the war, although she is little interested In discussing the home of her fore- fathers.

"My parents brought me up in- dependently of their traditions,” she explained.

A senior at George Washington University, where she is majoring in chemistry, Miss Kangas is co-

operating with dozens of sorority girls in the war effort.

“The motive of a social sorority in peacetime was too often to get a man,” she laughed. Now, Miss Kangas pointed out, a serious note is struck among the girls who are

a busy and congenial group willing to work and eager to make the most of their opportunities. Of the 21 active members and 21 pledges, she said, many are engaged and married to men at war. Instead of brooding, they are more than ever seeking each other's com-

panionship, bicycling on Sundays and holding dinners where, to boost their morale, they try to out-do each other in looking their best.

These girls, she continued, realize that the future is vague and that they may have to seek a living against stern competition.

“With this in mind we are at- tacking our studies with new vigor, hoping tomorrow will hold for us

that coupe, nylons and perhaps even

a helicopter,” she commented. Seven members of the sorority,

Miss Kangas said, serve at the Stage Door Canteen. On Saturday after- noons, members of the pledge class serve at H street USO. These pledges take turns at the univer- sity's bond-stamp booth, she added. Night students are employed by the Army and Navy Departments and other agencies. Many have donated blood and serve the Red Cross. In addition, Miss Kangas continued, they collect money and clothes for the Maine Sea Coast Mission for Needy Children.

From other remarks of the sorority ! president it is apparent that she believes girls’ basic contribution to victory is just doing the everyday things well, and as for their con- tribution to the postwar world, the fact that they are taking a con- structive part now is proof enough that they are going to take a pro- gressive part later.
