COVERThe British and Washington are presented in this issue as seen by

Simon Winchester, a London Times columnist who is leaving our townafter eight happy years. In that time he has met and known many of thecast of characters who have come from the U.K. to their former colony.No Briton has had more impact on Washington than Sir Winston Chur­chill whose statue accompanies former U.S. Ambassador Anne Arm­strong on our cover. Sir Winston stands one foot on British soil and theother on U.S. territory in front of the British Embassy on MassachusettsAvenue where for the past several months an early-morning jogger hasplaced a posy in his hand. The 1,500 pound statue was unveiled on April9, 1966 on the third anniversary of the date on which Sir Winston wasgranted honorary U.S. citizenship.

Art&ArtistsWASHINGTON PROJECT FOR THE ARTS

NA PROFESSIONAL FOOTING

I f you have not recently been to theWPA, otherwise known as the

Yo ~ashington Project for the Arts,U will barely recognize the place. The

~ondemnedbuilding on G Street has be­d?rne light and airy. Even the once­nlsmal performing space on its third'W0~r ~as been spruced up. The mood atg A IS upbeat with a schedule of pro­pr~ms to match its new direction. Occu­~Ing the uncertain position between ath~seu~ and a commercial art gallery,lh project addresses itself not only to. e needs of "disenfranchised" Wash-Ington .o artists, the emerging talent ino~r .community, but to nationally rec­irnnl2ed artists whose work is too exper­ci ~ntal to meet the criteria of commer­O;t galleri~s or the conceptual precepts

"he.capltal's museums.we With Our accent on the temporary,ge/an do crazy things," says the ener­Co IC Al Nodal who has steered thean~rse of the WPA for a year and a halfirn ,saved the alternative space from

In order to keep the u.tmost ceibility and provide artists With a spabewhere they can do what they want,

town Washington-the visual arts areserved as well as the performing arts.During the upcoming season theWPA's grand performing space will beenlivened by dancers, poets and theatergroups every weekend.

Judging by its stunning experimentalexhibition of sculptures "Stacking/Rigging/Binding," curated by theHirshhorn's gifted Howard Fox thissummer, the quality as well as the risksinvolved should be anything but rou­tine. Fox's selection of ten contempo­rary artists who set out to explore thelimits of their humble materials (mostlywood) by straining them to the break­ing point, suggested intriguing estheticperspectives. Given the properties ofimpermanence, like Ed Mayer's phan­tasmal labyrinth of stacked wood lathor Thomas Watcke's environment ofprecariously structured two-by-fours,the ambiguous constructivist vocabu­lary, probing the relationship betweentime and space, mass and gravity, forceand constraint, took on-not unlike theleaning Tower of Pisa-unexpected,disquieting emotional overtones.

Top-notch guest curators playa vitalpart in the WPA's programming. Wal­ter Hopps, the California wunderkindof the arts, who brought glory andhavoc in equal measure to the Corcoranand the National Collection of FineArts, is organizing an exhibition of im­agist sculpture. Mary Swift, currentchairman of the board of directors, andstripe painter Gene Davis, are talentswho joined in April. Along with a showof the work of "Young WashingtonArtists," visitors will be treated tophotography from Los Angeles andTexas.

Al Nodal tries to strike a balance be­tween showcasing home-grown talent,which accounts for 60 percent of theprogramming, and the works of artistsfrom other places. By bringing the"vital flux of the avant garde into a citylike Washington" Nodal hopes to keepthe promising younger artists frommoving to New York.

The open studio which enables thepublic to visit the studios of local ar­tists, will be repeated. The WPA pro­vides maps. Last winter 23 artists par­ticipated in this successful outreachprogram aimed at a public not in thehabit of going to galleries and mu­seums. Once more, art site projects andlarge-scale environmental outdoorsculptures, will playa prominent part.Among the five monumental three-di­mensional works, a prism piece by thewell-known laser-beam artist Rockne

If finally after five years of existence,the WPA has shed its last vestiges of ar­tiness and gained a professional profileas an important showplace for the artsin the nation's capital, it is thanks to theenormous artistic energies and manag­erial skills of its director and his crew ofsix who do not mind working extrahours. In contrast to the ego-tripperswho drift in and out of the art scenethese days, anxiously guarding theirterritory, Nodal, who holds an M.A. inmuseum studies from San FranciscoState, is a true believer in openness andthe democratic approach to the arts.

"I like to get more people involvedwith our projects. You may lose somepower, but in terms of input everybodygains," he comments.

By training and temperament an ar­tist, a sculptor and a photographer, theCuban-born Nodal, who landed inFlorida at the age of seven, isthoroughly conscious of the artists'concerns. At the same time Nodal un­derstands that moral and financial sup­port for a project of this scope has to bedeveloped by "working at the grassroots. "

His philosophy has paid off. First ofall, the place, left shoddy by well­intentioned dilettantes in the mistakenidea that chaotic, anti-establishmentchic somehow translates into creativity,got a thorough overhaul. Secondly, he

The last twelve months haveseen a bumper crop of books that

Ilila g? bump in the night. Among the

I s ny fme tales of detection andI yUspense, I have singled out four for

nOur pleasure and your peril. Read themow, then give them for Christmas:

(/n.nocent Blood by P. D. Jamesp~~l?ners, $10.95). This is the story ofIt \I,h p pa Palfrey, adopted into a,: Ish, ?onnish family but suddenly atP anxIous to know who her realharents are. By a new British law sheas the . h

that h rIg t to do so. The discovery'at er mother is a murderess and herOf e father a rapist is just the beginningad~ sUbtle and brilliant best seller thattop s to P. D: James' reputation as thehe woman In her field. Philippa andpar mother take a small flat in a seedyter~ ?f .London (the mother's prisonlllUrd IS Ju.st .up),and the father of thenight;r Victim stalks their days and...doThe Treasure of Sainte Foy by Mac­1'h~~I~ Harris (Atheneum, $10.95).hag' 1St h e u nus u a 1 s tor y 0 f ahi\llographic heist. The setting is theuPl town of Conques in the spiny

ands of L d .of th angue oc. The centerpiecee treasure in the great abbey

church at Conques is a superb gold­encrusted statue of a local martyr. AnAmerican art historian suffering fromloss of tenure falls in with a gang ofpolitical terrorists who want the statuefor murky reasons of their own. Add anenchanting girl guide in the abbey,season with the aphoristic chief of thelocal gendarmes, stir with a broodingsense of time in abeyance and humannature on the lam and serve spicy hot.The gang steals the statue, but theFrench police chief steals the show.

A Coat of Varnish by C. P. Snow(Scribners, $10.95). The late LordSnow dubbed it the Establishment, andhimself walked many of its Corridorsof Power. So when he writes of theglossy world of British high society andpolitics as he does in this last novel, hebrings credentials incomparable. Adowager who in her day had been anEdwardian enchantress is killed in herBelgravia town house and the suspects,all absolutely top drawer, are many.Snow builds his effects slowly but withgreat skill. There is a twist in the tail ofthe plot that is as clever as anything heever did.

Whip Hand by Dick Francis (Harper& Row, $9.95). Sid Halley is an ex-

jockey with a bionic hand. It will comeas no surprise to Dick Franci fan thathe is in deep trouble in hi new vocationas private eye to people in the racingworld. At one point he escapes anassortment of thugs by hitching a ridein a balloon on a cross-country race.The pilot is a man as addicted to dangeras Sid himself. Like the careeningballoon, the story swoops over well­observed valleys of the human condi­tion. The speed with which Franciscreates character-especially in the caseof the charming ex-wife of the ex­jockey-makes other novelists seemslow on the draw.

Oh, yes, if you can, beg, borrow,steal or buy a copy of the old Signetpaperback of an early John Le Carre,Call for the Dead. It will make yourealize what a splendid writer Le Carrewas before he choked off his clear nar­rative gift with pretension and manner­ism in The Honourable Schoolboy.

Dossier/October /980//7

Wine cellars in Washington arenot usually blessed with thecold damp atmosphere of

cellars in France where the dust andrnold-Iaden aged bottles almost makesthem seem more special. But there arelllany individuals here who attach thes~me importance to a good bottle ofWIne. The cellars in Washington canrange from a specially built refrigeratedroom with cubicles solidly designed toh?ld aging liquid wonders to a closetnIche under the stairs. But the samelove of fine wine prevails and colors theoWner's life.

This has been going on for quitesome time here. Thomas Jefferson hada great cellar at Monticello and lovedthe Champagnes and great Burgundies.lie C?unseled Washington, Adams an.dMadIson on selecting wines for theiruse.

basement-not specially cooled, butstable and accessible. He enjoys servingthe American Schramsberg Champagnefor special festivities. To Drum, goodwine means the pleasure of sharing withfriends. "It also preserves a way ofeating and drinking which is perhapsdisappearing." Fine wines enhancespecial occasions, and they are meant tobe enjoyed. Other favorite Burgundiesinclude Meursault and ChassagneMontrachet. Drum is also looking atItalian wines and Yugoslavian winesfor daily drinking and is very enthu­siastic about California wines.

Drum suggests that the wine enthu­siast save and store special bottles for aslong as possible in the optimum condi­tions of little vibration and darkness.

"Everything is usually drunk tooyoung," he says and suggests one tryless expensive choices. "But I'll buyBurgundies as long as I can affordthem," he adds.

To an Italian, food and wine are asnatural as the sun. Guilio Cantoni grewup in Milan, but has made his home inBethesda for many years. As an expertat NIH he undoubtedly knows thehealthful aspects of wine, and he hascollected 1,500-2,000 bottles in hiscellar. He keeps his wines horizontallyin clay canisters not specially cooled.He has been collecting since 1954 andhas never lost a bottle. Guilio is a lover

started collecting in bulk ten years agoand has built a marvelous, auto-cooledwine cellar in his basement in George­town, filled with favorites like 1945Mouton Rothschild, 1947 ChevalBlanc, and Chateau Petrus 1975.

"Wine is an interesting reflection ofmy life. It grows, changes, and hopeful­ly matures. And you can look at it in ananalytical way-you taste it as itchanges," he says.

Stanley's favorite region is the St.Julien in Bordeaux. He realizes a per­son just collecting now has high pricesagainst him for the really exceptionalbottles-he himself feels he started tenyears too late.

Stanley advises the wine buff to buywines that are drinkable and try verticaltastings ("a '64 and a '70 in the samevintage"). It is essential to record one'sexperiences in the wine and foodchoices after sampling. Wine booksand helpful wine purveyors abound formore assistance. The Perls are collec­ting Italian wines now, for high qualityand low prices.

People knowledgeable in wine arequick to discover favorites that theyshare with friends. Minister Pierre Col­mant, the commercial counselor at theFrench Embassy, has a great love ofChateau Talbot-as old as he can get it.He'll serve it at home for dinners withMoet et Chandon Champagne for aper­itifs, and often order Talbot when he isentertaining guests in restaurants. Jac­ques de Larosiere, head of the Interna­tional Monetary Fund, enjoys servingChateau Beycheville 1964 at his dinnerparties; he acquired it and others duringhis current post.

Experts in town are ready to assistyou with the special bottles for cellar.The president of Les Amis du Vin, RonFonte, notes that Rhone wines, likeChateau Neuf du Pape and Cote Rotie,and Spanish Reservas, are reasonablenow and of high quality. German wineshave escalated 80 percent since 1970, 71percent due to inflation. But the 1975and 76 German wines are excellent andbetter buys for quality than later vin­tages.

For real cellaring, the FrenchBordeaux and Italian Barolos are thelongest "livers." The 1977 VintagePort will be a bottle of the century tolayaway. Buy a selection of red andwhite California and French petitechateaux to lay down for a few years.Almost any bottle, even jug wines,benefits from aging.

Many wine purveyors will suggestspecial wines to hold and layaway.

Pres rving the Status SymbolBy Kathleen Burns

Aging fur coats that have been hiber­nating in dark, dank clo ets are now be­ing rejuvenated into more contempo­rary styles, thanks to orne innovativefurriers.

Unlike a passe suit or dress that maybe handed down or given to Goodwill,you don't tend to give away a fur evenif it's outdated. Instead, it is relegatedto a closet or cold storage vault, whereit hangs in isolation, season after sea­son, while the owner fantasizes thatsomeday that style will return.

A check with a few of the furriers intown elicited some useful tips on whatto do if you're down to your last furand want to update it.

Garfinckel's 628-7730Shifting hemlines have rendered

some coats useless. Various jacketlengths, collars and sleeves that are nolonger popular, notes Bob McGrath, furdepartment manager for Garfinckel's.

To salvage furs that still have somewearability, Garfinckel's is designingjackets using leather, suede and ultra­suede as well as knitted fabrics forsleeves, collars and coat fronts. Suchrenovations run from $700 to $2,000,depending on how many usable peltswere in the older coat.

McGrath said the response to an adthe company ran last spring was "phe­nomenal!" People came to the storeclutching the flyer and their old capesand stoles. McGrath cautions thatrestyling isn't always the answer since.high labor costs may not justifyrenovating too old a fur. But the com­pany thus far this season has done moregeneral restyling than they have sinceGarfinckel's opened its fur studios.

"We've got quite a reputation in thisarea for doing miracles and we do lotsof them," he said.

I. Magnin 468-2900At I. Magnin, fur manager Stephen

Sanders says the store supports remod­eling and recycling furs, but only if thefinished product warrant the invest­ment. Sanders said they prefer to workwith furs such as minks that are nomore than seven years old.

Their forte is repairs instead ofremodeling, and they have no chargefor the service. They also boast of theirreturns policy.

"We take back anything. We wantour customer to be happy," Sanderssaid.

To enhance the aura of love at firstsight, I. Magnin's has skylights fornatural light on furs, serves cocktails tocustomers and favors a casual Califor-

naches and POc~asion and thougherner and Les Cars are

de rigueur in racier parts of town, itcannot be said even by the most ardentFrancophile that this town has been in­fluenced-save, of course, for havingbeen designed and planned-by theFrench.

But the British-now there's a groupwho helped turn what might just havebeen a sleepy southern town into one ofthe more gracious of the world's pur­pose-built capitals. Compare Washing­ton with, say, Canberra or Brasilia,Islamabad or whatever new town is be­ing built to take over Juneau in Alaska.

All of those places are, or soon willbe, no doubt, sterile creations of somepompous architects, places that satisfyno one except for those who have todraw maps of the place. But Wash­ington, as well as being a cartographer'sparadise, is also a decent, softly round­ed sort of city in which to live. To somesmall extent I am certain even the mostkeenly nationalistic of you will agreethat has something to do with the pres­ence here, in fairly large numbers, ofthe British.

The French and the post-Depressionarchitects of your own country madeWashington a city of monuments, ofcourse. We helped add the humantouches-the gardens and the rows oftownhouses and the Tudor mansions inthe suburbs, the solid-looking clubsand the parks and the churches. TheWashington Cathedral-does it remindone of Chartres, or the Jama Masjid inOld Delhi? No-its design comesstraight from Exeter or Ely or Wells.Though it may well be graniteers fromVermont who sculpt the stones andfashion the gargoyles, the building'sgrand design says, discreetly, "I amBritish and I will set my mark upon thecity I overlook."

That is what I mean when I suggestthat Britain has done much to softenthe cityscape of Washington: that ideas

from the old country, models from theCotswolds and the Weald and the fringesof Dartmoor have all come and settleddown in the capital, making us some­what homesick, if truth be known. Thisi an English city before anything else,an island of Engli hmen et in anAmerican sea.

But who are the twelve thousand ofus who survive here, and what do we alldo-save from making shop assistantslaugh themselves silly at what they callour "cute little accents?"

Well, as far as the State Departmentknows, we do just about everything youall do, except that a very large numberof us-almost the largest single bloc­are members of the Corps of Diplo­mats. If anyone were to suggest theBriti h here like pecking orders as muchas they do back in England-where, asthey say, everyone from a duke to adustman knows his precise position inSociety-then we would have to admitthat the Diplomats come top of the pileand are permitted first peck every time.

There IS much interest in the charac­ter of the British Ambassador Extraor­dinary and Plenipotentiary who is senthere by the reigning Monarch to conveyher Ministers' messages to her friendin the Government of our Former Col­ony. When I arrived here eight yearago we had Lord romer-a rich anddignified man who knew a lot abouthorses and banking and precious littleelse-at the helm of the great flag hipBritish Emba y a he urged and~ayed down Mas achusetts Avenue.

His predecessor had gone off with thewife of the BBC corre pondent or vice­versa: it wa a delicious scandal whichLady Cromer attempted to outdo bygoing on the radio and sugge ting thatthe life of an Asian (it was during adiscussion of the Vietnam war, as Irecall) was, on average, worth very littleindeed. That cau ed a mighty flap.

They aremuch in demand, from the lowliestThird Secretary in the passport office tothe Minister himself in his great man­sion (sort of Tudoresque, the kind ofthing King Henry might have built hadhe settled on Foxhall Road). You'll findBritons propping up aspidistras and ex­pressing quiet distaste at the tempera­ture of the sherry from Middleburg toSt. Mary's City and all places in between.

But we are more than mere diplomats.There is, of course, the distinguishedcorps d'elite of the Washington journal­ists, men (I'd like to say there werewomen, but there aren't any just now)who have been given by their papersand magazines the nicest jobs going inBritish journalism: the American beat.

There once was a time a decade or soago when the British journalistic packwas the largest foreign contingent intown. Sad to say, we're now numbertwo to the Japanese. The British aredown to no more than forty strongthese days, and when we take tea withthe Ambassador every couple of mon­ths, we scarcely fill his drawing room.The Ambassador's little soirees are, infact, about the only time we see eachother en masse-the old bonds of siegementality that kept us together have allbut vanished with the years. Our editorslike to suggest we meet as manyAmericans as possible rather than stick­ing to each other for security in thisstrange foreign land, so we tend tocultivate the natives and have found, toour delight, they are quite as friendlyand as harmless as we had read.

Then there are the other Brits-mili­tary people, naval types at the bases

around here, army chaps out provingtanks over at Aberdeen and Air Forcejohnnies out at Dulles. There's a weeklyplane which the RAF flies into Dul­les-it happens to land in England at avillage not ten miles from my home.

The "bankies," as the World Bankemployees are derisively termed, tendto include a lot of Brits-but onceagain, for some curious reason, there'sno great social interchange betweenthem and the diplomatic and journalis­tic community, which tends to move inlockstep for most of the tour here.Those I've known have this infuriatinghabit of taking themselves terribly seri­ously-not a British trait at all, oh,no-and leaving for protracted StudyTours of remote places in Deepest Af­rica, looking at textiles, or the effects ofstrange seven-legged bees on the localcorn crop.

Dossier/October 1980/35

President of the United State.While Henry Ki singer' State De­

partment routinely ignored career dip­lomats, Kissinger did not ignore AnneArm trong because he wa a power inthe Republican party and becau e heliked her.

Anne Armstrong's time in Londonwas made even better by her hu bandTobin's love of the country and hisvolunteer assignment with the U.S.Department of Agriculture helping topromote the export of American agri­cultural products to Europe.

IIAt Grosvenor Square I was the Am­bassador, but at Winfield House,Tobin was always the host," she says.

It was also a fairy tale time becauseAnne Armstrong's Ambassadorshipbegan during the Bicentennial year,events of which she had been instru­mental in planning as White House ad­visor under Presidents Nixon and Ford.

She accompanied the Queen and PrincePhilip to this country for the Bicenten­nial celebration. Prince Charles visitedthe 50,OOO-acre Armstrong ranch andhelped herd their Santa Gertrudis cat­tle. The Armstrongs were houseguestsof the Royal Family on everal occa­sions.

Once, Anne Armstrong wore herhandsomely-tooled Texas boots undera long dinner dress and the British lovedit. One-time Minister to WashingtonMichael Stewart, now an official with

She adds, "For one thing, being awoman was no problem. The Britishhave a tradition of women in meaning­ful roles-Queens, Members of Parlia­ment, famous writers-so I didn't haveto spend a lot of time proving myself. Icould get right to work."

"The things I liked most about theBritish? Their kindnesses, their wit andtheir magnificent use of the language."Armstrong made her first visit toEngland as a 1949 Vassar graduate, ma­joring in English and literature. At thetime, she was headed for a career injournalism.

In 1976 she made points by being thefirst Ambassador to visit Ulster toobserve firsthand the problems amongthe British, Protestant and Catholicpartisans there.

When she was three months into thejob, the Washington Post's man inLondon, Bernard Nossiter, wrote that

she was proving herself "through in­telligence and hard work." She had hadto work hard, he noted, at overcominga stereotyped view in Britain of right­wing Texans. The British press had pic­tured her monolithically-and mistak­enly-as sympathetic to the Reaganwing of the Republican Party, and notas the pragmatic politician and diplomatshe turned out to be. A measure of hersuccess was the favorable impressionshe made on John Grigg of the WeeklySpectator who wanted her promotedand nominated as the first woman

Exploration Pays OffWhile your dreams are important,

Elizabeth Cadell of Crossroads Realty,Ltd., stresses that good quality housingis a prime motive for moving up. Be likeevery good scout exploring the unfamil­iar: prepared. Be prepared to pay forlocation, to pay the difference betweenexisting homes and new. Because oftheir locations, Washington's existinghome prices often outstrip new homeprices by 150/0 to 20%. That's a greaterdifference than for any other city in thenation, points out Dr. MichaelSumichrast, vice president and chiefeconomist for the National Associationof Home Builders.

If you live in the metro area, you cantake your time looking for the perfectmatch up for your move up. As with theCourtier, the savoring of the selectionsavailable makes the final choice thatmuch sweeter. If you look long enoughand hard enough, you'll find what youlike.

Start exploring by turning the pagesof Washington Dossier and the week­end section of the local papers. Take a

Downtown, uptown or out of town:move up your lifestyle. Improve yourtax picture. Plot your next move now toa better place to live.

Washington is a pot-pourri of goodhousing, homestyles and neighbor­hoods. Choices range from Potomac toMcLean, Annapolis to Winchester,from Capitol Hill to Kalorama, fromGeorgetown to Alexandria. Your homecan be a riverfront condo or a countryestate, a simple rowhouse, a penthouseco-op or a duplex apartment (ownboth, rent one).

A home is like a person, unique inform and function with a personality allits own. Finding the right home is likefinding the right mate.

Planning a Dream HomeWilliam Crowell of Crowell and

Baker Builders says your next homeshould be the house of your dreams, aplace to indulge your fantasies, Disney­land with your name on the mailbox.

Put together your dreamsheet (alongwith your ledger sheet) to find what youwant. Unless you're new in town,you've been making mental notes ofyour likes and dislikes as you travel inthe better neighborhoods of the metroarea. During each visit with friends orcolleagues, at each formal or informalsocial affair, you've been makingobservations. Jot them down. Pullthem together.

Larry Silverman, president of Lewisand Silverman Realtors, says lifestyle isplaced at the top of most home hunters'lists. But what physical requirementsmust your next home have to accom­modate your desires?

Go through your list: Bedrooms­with or without adjoining baths, nurs­ery, sitting areas, fireplace; the num­ber, the size, their relation to each otherand to the other living areas. Baths­shower stall and tub (for how many),lights, mirrors, lavatories, commodes,bidet, linen closet. Kitchen-are you agourmet cook, or do you dine out most­ly? Are your at-home functions ca­tered, or do you do it yourself?

ing" to suit your need. How much youpay for moving up i up to you. Home­style, life tyle and Uncle Sam' taxturnstile all enter the decision.

Creative FinancingMany buyers arrange their own

financing. Bu iness associates at av­ings and loan institutions, commercialbanks and mortgage loan companieare often the first source. In urancecompanies, independent investor, abusiness firm or the seller may bankrollthe purchase.

In today's market, down payment re­quirements usually range from about25070 to 33 % or more, depending on thesize of the mortgage principal and thebuyer's qualifications, says LarrySilverman.

Your tax man will advise youwhether to seek a high or low loan-to­value mortgage. You may want a de­ferred-interest loan or one with a de­ferred principal, depending on moneymarket conditions or your personal in­come picture. Fixed-rate or variable­rate or renewable-rate loans may be toyour advantage depending on how longyou plan to stay in your next home.

Steve Willmann of Crowell andBaker reminds us again about taxshelter: "Whatever you put into yourhome and lot goes on the mortgage."

Rollover loans, usually with five­year options for renewing at a higherinterest rate or extending the maturity(up to 40 years), may fit your inve t­ment plan better. Short term mortgages(five to ten years) with a balloon pay­ment at maturity may be attractive,too. An equity-participation loanmight even be constructed, dependingon the appreciation factor of your newhome investment (up to 20% annuallyor more) and the inclination of thelender.

Combination of the above can tailorthe financing to your personal needs.Minimum risk to the lender is the key.Put your assets, ingenuity, contacts andnegotiating prowess to work for you.

"Really, Mrs. Harrington. He's oneof our best men." There was theslightest note of hesitation in his voice.

"How long has he been with you?"she asked with the same air of inno­cence she had used on the person in theSenator's office.

"Three months," the caterer re­sponded, adding quickly, "But he hadthe best references."

"Three months!" He could hardlymistake her deliberately accusatorytone.

"You're not suggesting . . .," thecaterer began.

"I'm not suggesting anything," sheinterrupted. "I know only that the vaseis missing."

"Perhaps one of your guests tookit," the caterer said, obviouslychallenged. Then, after a pause: "Bymistake. Perhaps there were flowers init and someone asked that they take theflowers ... "

"There were no flowers in it," Mar­garet snapped.

"Well, I'm sure my man did not takeit," the caterer replied finally, on theedge of exasperation.

"I'd suggest you probe him diligent·ly," she snapped, hanging up, tooangry to continue. She noted that herfingers shook and a little sob had bub­bled out of her throat.

"I know he took it," she told Joelater. "I saw the way he looked at it."

"But you can't accuse the man. Notwithout proof."

"How can I get proof?"The caterer called late that evening."He swears to me he didn't take it.""And you believe him?" she asked."What else can I do?"She had let her silence be explicit.

The man should be fired, she decided,but she wouldn't dare suggest it.

"I don't know what I can do," thecaterer said helplessly.

"Do whatever you think best," shesaid haughtily, hating her own nasti­ness. He had been waiting for her to saythat perhaps she had been mistaken.She didn't give him that satisfaction.

"The final debacle," she told Joewhen she hung up.

"Well, they could have gotten foodpoisoning," Joe had said, offering herthe placation of his black humor. Shehadn't laughed.

"Maybe it was Emma Shires," shesaid at breakfast the next morning."She was bombed. People do thatsometimes. "

"Don't be silly."By then, she had begun to feel guilty

about her accusation."Stop dwelling on it," Joe said. "It

was only a vase. And it's probably onour insurance list."

"They never pay you for the senti­ment."

Joe had shrugged and the matter waspushed aside by time. She had nevercalled the caterer again and she darednot speculate if the man had been fired.

Now, in the library, she reached out,touched the cool surface, let her fingerscaress the glaze, dead certain that thiswas her vase, the sentinel among thefamily images. Her eyes blurred withtears of regret or anger or impotence.She felt beyond assessment, blindlyoutraged, urging herself to remaincalm. What she really wanted was toscream out, to run downstairs and pushthrough the crowds, confronting Kath­erine Laughton. Let them all bearwitness. "J'accuse!" She heard thewords rumble in her head, the cracklingthunder of indignation.

The flush of water in the little black100 recalled her sense of place and sheslipped into a corner near the book­shelves out of view until she heardfootsteps recede and proceed down­ward to the din.

Turning again, she observed thevase, so carefully placed to accent theroom, yet, forlorn, trapped in thisstrange prison. A sense of cunningsmoldered, burst into flame, and shenoted that her pocketbook was far toosmall to smuggle it out. In fact, thereseemed no logical method to spirit itout surreptitiously to its rightful home.She could, of course, simply pick it up,flowers and all, or dump the flowers,and walk it blithely through the crowds,carrying it proudly, pugnaciously, likea kidnapped child, back to its aggrievedand natural parents.

Again, she felt the blood pumping inher temples, a shortness of breath, awelling of outrage, more tangible thanshe had ever experienced before. Yetcunning did not desert her. She closedthe door to the library, then movingtoward the vase, lifted it as one moved anewborn child. Her lips brushed its coolsurface, and gently she laid the vase onthe floor. The water spilled out, damp­ening the carpeting, and she put theweight of her shoe sole on its neck andpressed hard, hearing the shockingcrunch as the vase's neck shattered.Then she quietly reopened the door andproceeded into the little black 100.

It was only then that she couldfind the courage to smile through hertears. 0
