With the Jefferson Memoriol setting the mood, a group of senatorial wives and daughters step into the shoes of famous Democratic forbears—women of Democratic administrations from 1800 on. They will take these roles, as hostesses, at the Democratic Party's 1960 Presidential Campaign Kickoff Dinner. The traditional fund-raising banquet, to be held in the huge duplex ballroom of the Sheraton-Park Hotel Saturday night, will start such party lights as former President Harry Truman and seven leading members. Two ladies on the levee, waiting for the USS Goodwill, are Mrs. James B. Morrison, jr., (left), and Mrs. Theodore N. McDowell. Mrs. Morrison is chairman of the Decorating Committee and Mrs. McDowell is a member of the General Ball Committee. DEMOCRATIC LADIES RECALL AN ILLUSTROUS PAST Presidential possibilities. The hostesses-to-be are (left to right) Mrs. Spessard Holland, representing Martha Jefferson Randolph, daughter of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1805); Mrs. J.

Monroney, jr., representing Mrs. John Quincy Adams (1825-1829); Mrs. J. William Fulbright, representing In both Emily Donelson and Sarah, a grand march at midnight will give the judges a look at all the costumes, which will include such numbers as these: Miss Cotton Bale in the wheelbarrow (Mrs. David duBose Gaillard II) has a chat with Tom Sawyer (Mrs. Ernest S. Johnston). BOAT BALL Handmade cotton bales, a champagne fountain, life-size can-can girls and a giant panorama of a river boat tied to a levee—there's the atmosphere for the River Boat Ball, fifth annual costume dance planned by the Junior Guild of the Davis Memorial Goodwill Industries. The colorful benefit will be held in the ballroom of the Shoreham Hotel Friday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., with Chauncey Brown on hand to strike up the band. All proceeds will go toward buying collection booths which will be placed about the city and suburbs to facilitate the collection of clothes and items for Goodwill Industries.
