Capital City
Seethes With
Daily Parties
! By H VRMAN W. \It'HOLS
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10
i If anybody put Ivs mind to it. and
1 .mold stanri the traff he could go
j "o :< boot 2UO cocktail parties a day
I in Washington—even in the slow
i season.
! So claims Harrv Lourie, an ex-
►■cutive for the National Associa-
tion of Alcoholic Beverage Import-
ers, Inc., who has collected an
i amazing amount of statistics on
! j a'"ti *s in th - nation's capital.
He told me over lunch and some
ice tea that it all adds up to about
78,1)00 parties a year at the em-
bassies, hotels,, restaurants and
private homes.'
More Home Uriukers
"Actually, though, the American
itublic is becoming a group of
home drinkers." Lourie said. "It's
much chenner to t-'ke home a hot
tie of scotch, bourbon, irin. cognac
or chamoagne than to buy it hv
the drink in a public establish
nieiit.
"Of course" he said, "the
rheanest way is to tret yourself in
vited to one of the many cocktail
tia'-ties in to wit."
Harrv Lourie ha; look«l around
und finds that tieople will pitch a
party at the drop of t cork in
Washington.
"Announce one." he sai«l. "and
you will hisve plenty of takers
aboard—ladies in sables, politi-
cians, diplomats. Aii'l, if you don't
.-.•atch out. a tot of party crash-
ers. Most people resemble the
■-'old rush of the Yukon."
• I tried to pin Harry down on
the best party givers.
"Want me to commit suicide?"
he asked.
But he did add:
