Jean Webb Smith, petite and stylish wife of the Auorney General, enjoys the dazzling view from the balcony of The Hay-Adam Hotel overlooking the White House and Lafayette Park . She i almost a at home in Washington as she was in California, for she lived here during the late 1950s. At that time, she says, "The people were wonderfully hospitable and the monuments beautiful, but there weren't more than three good restaurants and the shopping was . .. not very interesting."

She finds the nation 's capital has made great trides in the last two decades in terms of cuisine and haute couture. And, of course, a unique advantage is being frequently asked to dine with "old friend " at the White House.

ne does not have to be a fine arts expert or scholar to appreciate the amazing variety and fUality of the exciting exhibitions oferect in the nation's capital these days. ~hile the versatile expressionist of the erman Renaissance, Hans Baldung Grien, the extraordinarily talented PUpil of Durer and contemporary of ~olbein and Cranach, fascinates the eholder with his astonishingly free and ~)(Pressive dramatic compositions, his t Yna~ic counter movements, his poe~t Imagination, psychological anal~81~ and superb linear technique at an Inttmate show of his unique drawings ~nct woodcuts at the National Gallery, he Birshhorn across the Mall has quite another surprise in store. ''Directions 1981," a series devoted 1 so the exploration of the current art icene that was initiated by Howard Fox attempts to convey a sampling 0~ 1979, some of the more interesting modes 0 cf contemporary art coexisting in the h~n~e~t of artistic pluralism. Both ex111.bittons are high spirited and f Irnulating. Both of them proceed tom a scholarly premise. ,, 1'.he 16 participating artists in , btrections 1981 '' were chosen by :urator Miranda McClintic. According :~ t.heir way of seeing and making art, 1: etr works are divided into three fategories: "Artistry," or art for art's •ake . • ''M yth and Metaphor" and "So•Ial Observations."

Of course, Hans Baldung Grien had Problems in combining all these 1 ·. ements- and more- into an enigmaIc 13 x 7-inch woodcut "Bewitched ;oom," circa 1544. In this masterful ;krnposition a bearded groom, most ely Baldung whose coat-of-arms ap~ars. in the background, lies ununsctous or dead with pitchfork and hrreycomb dropped from his hands on l~ne floor of a stable. He is watched by lanctold hag or witch with a nasty grin lin a contemptuous looking mare, the Sk~l~rnation of sexual vitality.

Dossier/Apri/19811/l

Yale's Alan Shestack who organized this competent Baldung tribute.

"Directions 1981" is not nearly as confounding as the rhetoric in the catalog. Unfortunately, the admittedly arbitrary divisions meant to clarify the aesthetic approaches of the artists, tend to obscure them and to frustrate the viewer. Thus, we are told that the works under the heading "Artistry," "serve no practical function," as if any work of art deserving this designation ever was intended to be functional! The purpose of art is art, Kant wisely postulated. To be sure, the fine pastels of the wide open midwestern spaces by William Beckman of Minnesota "satisfy the senses"-a criterion derived from the word aesthetic-as much as the innovative video installation by James Byrne or Judy Pfaff's exuberant room- . sized, mixed media construction "Formula Atlantic," actually an environment suggesting a wondrously fluid underwater scene. The same, alas, cannot be claimed for Ulrich· Ruckriem's stone slabs.

"Myth and Metaphor" provides encounters with the elegant installation of rocks, wood and gleaming copper relating to the great outdoors in Lita Albuquerque's installation, ''The horizon is the place that maintains the memory"; Vernon Fisher's witty visual narratives; Thomas Rose's unresolved constructed paintings where illusionary and real compositional elements are played off against each other; Earl Staley's fanciful mythological paintings that often lack proficiency; and the curious low-key canvases of pulverized earth from various archeological sites in Meso-America by Michelle Stuart, which assume a number of unexpected connotations. However, when we read "the belief that essential experiences of life can be translated into art" is "crucial" to the work of these artists, we become confused again. After all, we were taught that all art is derived from life. Has any art from the cave paintings of Lascaux to Picasso's revolutionary "Desmoiselles d' Avignon" to Judy Pfaff's installation ever attempted to accomplish anything else?

Rosemarie Castoro's imposing sculpture of 21 tall galvanized sheets of steel, "7 x 3 = 21" which is painted black and resembles crumpled paper standing upright on edge while at the same time attaining an agitated anthropomorphic presence, is among the most compelling entries. Why it is displayed under "Social Observations" is anybody's guess. "They, perhaps, feel like 111April 1981 /Dossier

dancers," observes Castoro about interrelated gestural parts of monumental sculpture. .

Nevertheless "Directions 1981" IS riveting experience and is intellectu and emotionally at least as rewarding the three stories .crammed full of temporary art by 115 Americans in Whitney's "1981 Biennial Exhibition Interestingly, the two artists included both shows, Vernon Fisher and 1 Pfaff, are far better represented at Hirshhorn than in New York.

Another scholarly exhibition should not be missed, "Washi Collects,'' takes the viewer to the art of American 19th-century I landscape painting. Ted Cooper of Adams Davidson Galleries, a sch and collector with a Ph.D. in history, has culled a fine selection a handful of private collectio~~; Among the gems are Frederic Churc r small but intensive "Twilight nead Mount Ktaadn," circa 1860; San for Gilford's incandescent "Twilight ~~ Hunter Mountain," 1865; and t d serene vistas of peaceful woods rivers by Jasper Cropsey, Alfre ke Bricher and William Hart which ~a ys you homesick for the good old .:0• when man and nature were not ah the ated and the relationship betw~en. ht artist and nature was celebrated ~~ h~he and color. Time is immobilized 10 r American wilderness depicted bY Henmann Herzog and Daniel Hunt~n~t~ i~ The awesome silence of the lurn.ln 1 s~ er echoed in the lyrical moonht n"A· scenes by David Johnson and Ralph Jn· Blakelock.

The action-packed paintings of (st dian grandeur by Western ar ~n­ Charles Marion Russell mark the tr as s1t10n into the 20th century.

THE WAR OF THE ROSES.

By Warren Adler. New York: Warner Books. 263 pp. $10.95.

Warren Adler's eighth novel is a tour deforce and a considerable accomplishment. Jonathan and Barbara Rose, with their fine Kalorama area house, their two well-adjusted children, their cat and dog and shared love of antiques, seem so happy that the sudden collapse of their life together has the impact of a series of hammer blows.

In the opening chapter, we learn how they first met at a Cape Cod auction competing fo~ a pair of Staffordshire figurines. They are of English boxers, and young Jonathan and Barbara each snag one-splitting the statuettes but starting a relationship. (Later, when they marry, they agree rather touchingly

that the china figures will do all their fighting for them).

The main action starts when Jonathan, by now a rising Washington lawyer, has what seems at first to be a severe heart attack. He is in New York on a business trip, and Barbara to his surprise and somewhat to her own, fails to rush to his side. Quickly recovered, he taxes her with the failure and she tells him the truth: his life or death means nothing to her and hasn't for a long time. The pair square off for the inevitable divorce, each with a predatory lawyer as a second .

As the aggrieved party, Jonathan refuses to leave the house. So he and Barbara wage hand-to-hand combat for the main part of the book. Ann, the pretty au pair girl, becomes a pawn in the contest, and the children more and more terrified onlookers.

Both parents turn into hardened campaigners. Who wins the war will not be revealed here, but two examples of their tactics can speak for many. Barbara, a gourmet cook, decides to throw an intimate little dinner party, complete with ambassadors, to show how splendidly free she is. Jonathan sabotages the dinner in an episode that some will think hilarious and others jarringly unfunny.

The key word here is Ex-lax. As one countermeasure, Barbara maneuvers his beloved Ferrari under the electrically controlled garage door and sends the door crashing down on it in pulverizing blows.

The mood is increasingly grand guignol but the narrative drive is there, the suspense does build up.

No work of fiction just grows untended: every scrap of overheard dialogue, every newspaper entry, every casual insight, adds to the mosaic.

So here, as I see it, is some historiography of Warren Adler's story. The title of course, stems directly from The War Between the Tates, a recent novel that also dealt with domestic tensions. The plot is as old as Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale in which the King acquires a sudden, inexplicable aversion to his

Dossier/April 198//15

Queen that results in long rejection. And } ] one of Adler's antecedents is John O'Hara's Appointment in Samarro.

I Perhaps you remember how a whole series of darkening events is triggered bY )tV Julian English's performance at ~h~ country club when he throws his dnn into the face of a popular priest.

Such forebears do not diminish the present book. It stands on its o~nh There is an old Hollywood jingle whJC goes like this:

Poets Corner Ode to a Mature Woman

Lady don't look at the glass if you can see, smell, suffer, you are too old for the mirror.

Don 'I fret, don't put on specs, that dousing dark of age turns the wrinkled page of truth.

Look far, look out the window, out past the shape of your whim, the wish you cannot control.

Trees, older than hope, make a house where love once lived rent free.

Forget the empty bed.

Burn the old vulnerability.

Pro Musics Antiqua

Listen to the music.

Listen to the sound of the krummhorn, the rebec, The vielle, the virginal, the viola da gamba, The scraping and twanging celebration of order.

It is all in the best possible order.

It streams up through the air of your house And it is like summer, A kind of sunlight slanting through the dust Of almost empty air.

Throw away the dictionary.

Live where you are.

If the sackbut palls, Bang on a pianoforte.

Limber up drums, Unleash saxophones, let everything run wild.

Have voices, too, whole choruses of voices, Doing the Nibelungenlied by ear.

This is the way it should be.

Your house should be music.

Welcome it, hold on to it, sweat, let it pour into you Like an old god making demigods with mortals.

Hold on until your every motion is dance.

Having received, enlarge.

When you let go, you will snore in C major.

The Public Man

He walks, even in day light, with arms outstretched.

Fish-like he shies at shadows, His own following him, nose to ground, Like a blind blood hound.

Gray fish swim through The cavities of his skull He feeds the sterile cows, the steers of no desire, With the mast of the bitter grapes.

He closes his eyes to fireflies.

And his own light, Which once burned bright Is yellow tallow.

His words, twice used Rise like water from the cistern pump.

And then go out in a wavering line, Intent on catching rabbits.

Like a gull, crying with tired voice He looks back, often into the jog.

Each night he holds his head of stone, As his elbows slowly sink through the /(lble top.

A large crystal, silver-lidded bowl of jelly beans-"a gift"-sits on a table.

At the moment, the Smiths are in residence at the Jefferson along with the Walter Annenbergs, the Caspar Weinbergers, the Bill Caseys, and Morgan Mason. If Rose Narva can provide them with an additional bedroom and bath next door to their suite, Jean Smith says it might be difficult to get her to move.

"When I'm not here, Bill sometimes comes home late from the Justice De-

partment with a briefcase full of papers, has his ritual two vokdas and tonic and just fixes himself a bowl of soup ." An avid tennis player and golfer, he is careful with his diet. The wrench of leaving hi Los Angeles law firm was eased for the senior partner of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher when he persuaded his secretary Myra and two of the firm's lawyers to join him at the Justice Department.

Four Smiths have come to Washington with the new Reagan Admini tration, including the newly-elected Smiths in the 97th Congress. Her Mr. Smith is readily identified by his "French connection," but when she first met him, Jean Smith remembers he was just plain "Bill Smith."

Dossier/April 1981123

Industrialist Dr. Armand Hammer, Jean and William French Smith and Mrs. Robert Anderson, wife of ARCO Chairman of the Board, at Capital Centre pre-Inaugural Gala party.

Smith couple the social invitations are pouring in, some of them Mrs. Smith says in some wonderment "from people we have never met."

The Smiths are members of that select coterie around Ronald and Nancy Reagan, the press likes to call "the group." They are the old friends who for years have spent New Year's Eve together at the Walter Annenbergs in Palm Springs or gone as houseguests together to Sonora, Mexico to stay with Bill and Betty Wilson. (He is President Reagan's special envoy to the Vatican.)

"I knew Betty Wilson at Stanford and she is one of my very best friends.

Several of us-Betty, Betsy Bloomingdale, Marion Jorgensen, Bunny Wrather, Lorena Nidorf-like to meet weekly for lunch at the Bistro or the Bistro Garden in Beverly Hills. Nancy Reagan is usually too busy to come to lunch but she usually phones Betty or Marion or Betsy in the mornings."

The women members in "the group" are very homogeneous, mostly blondish, mostly well-to-do to very-rich, slender, fashion-conscious, well turned out and as conservative in their tastes and outlook as they are in politics ... and, of course, "of a certain age."

Stylewise they are tastemakers rather than trendsetters. No Zandra Rhodes extravaganzas or funky costumes for Jean Smith and "pants just don't go with my figure," she mourns.

Her very favorite designer is Louis Feraud, whose suits she particularly 14I April 19811Dossier

favors. "I love him and they're reasonably priced."

At the White House dinner for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, she wore Oscar de Ia Renta's emerald green satin-skirted gown with black velvet bodice. For the British Embassy dinner the following night, a long black lace with patterned purple sequins by Alfred Bosand was her choice . "I am so pleased with this dress, I guess, because I waited until it had been reduced to the point I couldn't resist it any longer."

She also has several cocktail dresses by American designer Michael Novarese.

Jean Smith explains that the press frequently confuses "the group," just ten or more couples who like to spend their leisure time together and plan excursions together, with the "kitchen cabinet," a much smaller working group of close friends who advised Ronald Reagan en route to and during his two terms as Governor, continuing on in his Presidential campaign.

William French Smith was an original member of the kitchen cabinet along with Holmes Tuttle, Cy Rubel, Jack Hume of San Francisco and Henry Salvatori, among others.

Governor Reagan appointed Smith to the Board of Regents of the University of California campuses where he was three-times elected President of the Board. As a member of President Nixon's Advisory Commission on Overseas Education and Culture, Smith and his wife made study tours of the Middle

East and Eastern Europe in the mid-1970s. .

:YdKenneth Geremia n Don Oldenburg 'WWh_en speculating on land values in is ashtngton, the obvious starting point A. the 18 acres at 1600 Pennsylvania pVenue. The seat and symbol of power, htestige and politics, virtually nothing t ere-property prices included-is unouched by its influence. r But putting a price tag on a square a00 t of White House property is like l~sessing a square inch of the Mona tsa. It can't be done. r So at the hub of an ongoing residen~al ~nd commercial land rush in ~shmgton is the White House, the ~Utet center of a raging storm . lt is the ll1111lloved mover of land prices in the etropolitan area, a chunk of property tangibly and intangibly valuable tr at, despite appearances to the conary every four years, it is not for sale. h ''L~nd, like gold or diamonds, may ~av~ tntrinsic worth," says Richard "'~etner, a transplanted Californian 'h ose specialty is appraising land ., roughout the metropolitan area. o?ut demand creates its own measure Value."

F d or instance, Rheiner says that while in Washington will always 0ellla~d Utstnp the ever-dwindling supply, 0 e~rts ?f L_os Angeles hold a di tinct ge 1n htgh -priced real estate. "I

recently appraised orne property in Potomac at $700,000," he say . "In Beverly Hills, r would have apprai ed it at $2 million, and the home here would be better built."

That's not to suggest that Washington is a hotbed of property bargains, though there was such a time and it wasn't so long ago. Most of us are still kicking ourselves.

But in this so-called "economically protected town," where the federal

government employs practically everyone in ight, Will Rogers' axiom about land seem to ring truer than el ewhere: "Buy it! There're not making any more of it."

Buying into the residential property market in Wa hington, brokers say, require a sen itivity to neighborhood location. But be forewarned. There are no guarantees of consistency in price from street to street, even hou e to house, in some areas.

Location is important, of cour e," says Rheiner. So important that the value of property immediately adjacent to the While Hou e has kyrocketed by over 220 percent in the Ia t fi e year .

"But in thi town what i , was, and could be on a piece of property make a big difference in value."

For example, Georgetown currently i the highe t price per square foot in Washington. A single quare foot on a typically-sized lot can approach $100.

Perhaps the major private land holding there i the exquisite "Evermay" estate on 28th Street. Becau e of it ize amid conge tion, each of it 162,253 quare feet are valued at about $6.28.

Three block away is the equally charming "Tudor Place" estate owned

by Armi tead Peter III. Almost twice a large as Evermay, each of its quare feet are valued only at a little better Dossier/ April 1981125

than half as much-$3.40. The difference, besides size, is that Tudor Place has a federal easement on part of its land.

Neighborhood remains a vital measure of value because it influences demand. With few exceptions, the highest priced square feet in Washington are located in the most prestigious neighborhoods.

"That's what makes the 20' x 100' Georgetown lot sell for $150,000,'' says J. Lee Donnelly, Sr., of Donnelly & Sons, acknowledged experts in D.C. land values.

"What we're talking about is site value. That property may have a sales price of up to $500,000 simply because there's a structure on it, regardless of its condition or present use."

Donnelly says that the same is true, though to a lesser extent, in what he calls the "next two hottest residential territories": Kalorama and Massachusetts Avenue Heights. While a square foot in those neighborhoods may not bring top dollar at the moment, they come close and their rate of appreciation is increasing more rapidly than most other prestigious neighborhoods.

Median sales prices in Kalorama, which is beautifully bounded by Embassy Row and Rock Creek Park, jumped almost 140 percent from 1975 to 1979. Land value assessment there increased by 39.3 percent in the last year.

Massachusetts Avenue Heights, the home of Washington's turn-of-thecentury mansions, shows similar figures: During the last half of the 70s, median sales increases there were 91.1 percent, with average assessment increases since 1980 at 24 percent.

Close behind, says Donnelly, are the neighborhoods of Forest Hills, Spring Valley, Cleveland Park, Foxhall, the Palisades and Wesley Heights-all more than doubling in land value since 1975.

Brokers are paying particular attention to the huge homes shaded by tall trees in the Forest Hills section and the large gingerbread houses with wide porches in Cleveland Park. In the last year alone, the average market value of properties in these two areas rose by 20 and 18.6 percent, respectively.

Showing almost as much vigor in the market are the adjacent neighborhoods of Kent and Berkley, property developed in the 20s and 30s for modest family incomes that now attracts the careful attention of developers and

ASQUARE FOOT CHART TO THE CITY'S WEALTH The longstanding truism in real estate, experts agree, is that use and potential use of property determines specific land value as much as does neighborhood location. This city is no exception.

For instance, the cost of a typical Georgetown residential lot (around 1,800 square feet) this year is estimated at over $131,000-or at least $74 per square foot.

The same total cost, on the other hand, could buy a lot 300 times as large just 12 miles up the Potomac in the sprawling countryside of Great Falls.

Residential property there is divided only in acreage, and is destined for minimal use by Georgetown standards.

The price per square foot? As low as 411t.

So as you might expect, the farther from the heart of town and the larger the lot size, the less cost per square foot. With that in mind, let your speculative spirit guide you through the estimated land prices in some of the metropolitan area's prestigious neighborhoods.

Since the beginning of the 19th Centu.ry, the 68 quare mile that are the Dtstrict of Columbia have burgeoned in ~Urts. New and rapid growth of neigh~rhoods and land prices coincided W ith times of crisis when, for all the ~.0 Untry, the spotlight was on the NaIOn's Capital. w''That trend began during the Civil ar," says Rufus Lusk III, whose real ~tate publishing company, Rufus S. Usk & Son, Inc . has kept tabs on Washington property sales for over 50 Years . ~''The city's population doubled from ,00() to 120,000 in no time as the ~0 Vernment sought to direct the Union ar effort," Lusk explains. 'Once the '~~tr was over, the inflated population 0 federal employees, soldiers, and ~lhers required massive rebuilding of 'li0 rnes, streets, even the sewer and ater systems." \Vith all that activity, the Wa hing1 aon land market wa still in its infancy, snct scandalously cheap by today ' s~andards. For instance, public records the value of a single square foot (} Property on a P Street block in f eorgetown in 1865 was only 30ct-up torn. a dime in 1815. a 'F.ifty years late r, the nation once s!a'~ geared itself for war, says Lusk, elhng Washington's population to 0 Ver 450 000.

Ci ''Worid War I caused a serio us sca rnot only of homes in the city, but of ~ces and schools as well," says Lusk. lh he same years ushered in the age of c e automobile, which changed the a00l.Plexion of the District as rapidly as war.

CALIFORNIA VS. WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE: CONTRARY PERSPECTIVES A large number of Californians coming to town are opting for compact townhouses with minimum maintenance instead of trying to duplicate the four acres they own back in Burlingame, notes Washington realtor Jane Coyne.

Besides the lure of opposites, she feels that West Coasters are ordering their priorities according to their different lifestyles in the Capital City.

Their hectic daily schedules, crammed with business and social activities in the legislative and government arenas, leave them little time or energy for outdoor living. Convenience is at a premium and they find this in the ease and luxury of townhomes in the Kalorama, Georgetown, Spring Valley and Wesley Heights areas of Washington.

More outdoor living. Everything much more "open," with huge windows looking out on spacious grounds, although Southern California zoning laws restrict lots to 1 Y2-2 Y2 acres.

Compact townhouses (some Californians disparagingly call them "brick boxes with small fortress windows.") Large windows are impractical in cold weather.

Room for tennis court, swimming pool, hot tub and earthquake early warning system, provided spring mudslides don't transplant them onto your neighbor.

Most residents must trek to the riverside suburbs-McLean, Potomac or Great Falls-for a glimpse of courtside pools.

Gardening is a year-round thing.

Gardeners plentiful, although getting expensive ($600/month, part-time).

Gardening is a six-months proposition. Individual gardeners are passe. Gardening services are a must.

Mostly one-story, rambling homes, closed to the street, opening on the pool, patio and backyard. No townhouses in Southern California.

Multi-story dwellings, small backyards and a measure of 18th-century charm remains, with townhouses dominating recent residential development.

Spacious entertainment area. Kitchens inconspicuous, out-of-the-way and mainly unimportant.

Entertainment area generally smaller, with a well-equipped kitchen integrated into the living and entertaining of hosts who often pride themselves on their gourmet skills.

Best-constructed old mansions with most land built in the 1930s and since restored.

Distinctive Washington homes dating from the 1800s, finely restored.

Subdivisions, new developments in California all have beautiful landscaping.

Many new developments here bulldoze trees for subdivisions and don't replace them. The older luxury homes retain their trees, but landscaping often limited to springtime bulbs, azaleas and summer roses.

Although one also pays for "location" in California, that means beautiful, prestigious areas more than proximity to the city.

In Washington, one pays for the location, meaning closeness to downtown, more than for anything.

Prices are higher than in Washington, given comparable house, facilities and location.

Real estate still a bargain for those willing to pay to live in established, comfortable and elite neighborhoods.

orne women, very few to be sure, stand and stride in high heels as if they were born in them. The rest of us aren't that lucky.

Our common experience, after standing an hour or so in new high heel shoes at a cocktail party or in a receiving line, is suddenly to become aware of our feet.

The soles are burning. Pains shoot up the backs of our legs. A pinched toe throbs for attention. Our smile is congealing. We can't concentrate on what anyone is saying. Shifting weight from one foot to another doesn't help at all.

That's the moment, if you follow the advice of Dr. Gerald Gelwick, Washington podiatrist, to make tracks for the ladies' room. There in the privacy of that sanctuary, take off your shoes and s-t-r-e-t-c-h your toes. "Rotating the foot at the ankle also helps relieve pain and foot tension," says Dr. Gelwick. "And before putting your shoes back on, pull the tips of your hose to give the toes more room. Perspiration glues hose to the sole of the foot and, as 301April 1981/Dossier

feet swell, the stocking restricts movement and blood circulation."

Dr. Gelwick gives this advice to women patients who want to get their feet into condition for the rigors of Washington's social seasons. Women who start out with feet in poor condition (hammer toes, corns and plantar warts, ingrown toenails, bursitis at the Achilles tendon, painful calluses, pressure sores related to diabetes, tendonitis, arthritic bone spurs, bunions or damaged foot nerves) embark on months of martyrdom.

"Most people take better care of their hands than of their feet," says Dr. Gel wick. "Feet take enormous pressure for their size-hundreds of pounds to the square inch-but in other respects they are far more delicate than hands.

They have about one fourth the hands' blood supply. That means there are fewer antibodies in the feet to fight infections from open sores, blisters, abrasions and ingrown toenails. Even cutting too much cuticle from around the

toenail endangers the feet by removi.nS a natural protection against invasive foreign particles, such as street dust that works its way into the unprotected area around the nails and can cause infection."

Nylon hose that are too short or t~at have a foot size too small in proporuon to the leg length can harm the feet as severely as shoes that are too short. Drd Gelwick advises women to shop aroun and find the brand of hose that best acf commodates the length and breadth 0 their feet.

Prolonged standing in shoes tha 1 pinch and squeeze can traumatize the nerves in the feet, sometimes causing a type of nerve tumor that requires sur· gery. Pinched toes are also a common cause of ingrown toenails, not onlY a painful condition, but a source ofinfec· tion.

Before going to a party, tune up the feet by rolling an empty coke bo~tl~ with your toes. "At the party," advtse Dr. Gelwick, "keep moving aroundd Don't stand rooted to one spot. An when you get home, take off your shoes, lie on the floor and rest you~ heels on the edge of a chair for about 1 minutes." d Because we are not friendly towa\ our feet, but instead are neglectfU ' even abusive, they get back at ust "When feet hurt, they reflex (bend af an angle in resistance) to every organ~ the body," says Chloe Wadswor~ ' Washington practitioner of the poiantpY system of holistic medicine and of dee muscle therapy.

"Total security takes in locks, lighting, alarms and the door itself. Cut shrubbery and leave lights on outside. If it's bright, your chances of being hit are lessened. '' Officer Anthony Murray D. C. Crime Prevention Unit 21 years and in the Washington area since 1975, stresses their triple back-up protection. Phil Consuegra of their Washington office says, "If there's a power outage, our central station computers run on a gas-driven generator. In the unlikely case of that failing, we have a battery back-up."

Although Honeywell's basic home security philosophy caJis for strong exterior (perimeter) protection backed up by interior (space) measures in case the first line of defense is penetrated, "peace of mind for the family" is the main concern, Consuegra says. "There are price options. If they want a good interior trap instead of having every window protected, we will do it. It can be as simple as an interior door or infrared passive detectors that detect changes of temperature. We can even keep the detector above the 'pet level' if they have pets. We don't want to change the family's habits ."

Ronald W. Cain of Cain Security in McLean offers a security consultation and house survey to design a system to fit the homeowner's lifestyle, pets, possible emergency health require-

ments and particular security needs.

The heart of Cain's state-of-the-art 800CE system is a computer control console which monitors a variety of op· tiona! sensors-conventional intrusion, breakage, motion or body heat sensors for protection, as well as sensors that will indicate a flood in the basement, furnace failure on a cold winter night or even the ambient air temperature in your aviary.

Unique to the 800CE system is a direct voice command function which enables the central station, during emergency situations when one or more alarms have been activated, to audibly monitor the house, verifying a crime in progress or a potential health crisis or accident in the home. The central station is then able to notify the police or call an ambulance or neighbor with definite information about the problem.

In selecting from the wide array of home alarm systems, three musts come from Officer Anthony Murray, who conducts home security surveys with the Community Relations Division of the D.C. Crime Unit.

I. The system must have a combination local bell, siren or lights as well as a central reporting alarm. Some companies boast "direct lines to the police," but these turn out to be no more than answering services.

2. The company must install its own systems and back up its guarantee with a contract for maintenance and service.

This protects against fly-by -nighters who sell their alarms one day and fold up shop the next.

3. The company must provide for tying a smoke detector into the alarm Dossier/April 1981 /JJ

Further considerations are the selection of a key or digital system. Because the push-button type may be used by anyone who has the combination, the losing of your key is not a problem. But if you have teenagers anxious to allow their friends easy entry, this could be a drawback.

Prevention, physical security and electronic security are the three areas to heed in burglar-proofing your home. The basic steps are: I. Don't make your home an inviting target. Enlist in Neighborhood Watch and use the police department's Operation Identification to engrave your Social Security number on valuables. Di play both stickers in a visible spot.

2. Make it hard for the thief to get inside your house. Lock up . Light up.

3. Don't give burglars a chance to case your house. Draw your shades after dark. Make your home look as if somebody's there at all times.

The Greenbriar restaurant is a cozy white nook on the fifth floor of Garfinckel's downtewn store. Robert Van Uendan, who hails from Amsterdam, has been its chef and owner since 1967.

The entrance aisle with a dark buffet on one side leads to a room where neat greenery adorns window box planters and white table linens bespeak gentility.

The friendly service speaks for itself.

The waitresses are plainly anxious to please, whether for a three-course luncheon or a cup of coffee. Van Liendan remembers with amusement when he introduced bar service in 1967. The older ladies were outraged and temperance groups fought the move with a vengeance. But the restaurant went "wet" and became the forerunner of

other store restaurants, most of which now serve cocktails.

The bestsellers here are baked stuffed trout, chicken divan and the milk-fed veal specialties. Van Liendan prides himself on the freshness of his food, and his seasonal delicacies of soft-shell crabs and shad. With even the swanshaped cream puffs baked on the premises, it's little wonder that the dining room is filled to capacity at lunchtime.

Toni Hatfield and King Hussein have enjoyed the dishes. Then there is that 86-year-old woman who has dined there religiously every day, scolding the chef about the food! This restaurant manages to maintain a white-gloved air even though luncheon gloves disappeared years ago.

The Saratoga's menu is based on a racetrack theme and the restaurant rides on the health food trend with a copious salad bar and unique dressings. Hamburgers and quiche are also available.

Stepping Out

In Style

By DeWitt Smith

For this spring's fashions, the hot news is shoes. So elite feet, take note and discard the notion that shoes are merely articles to cover the feet. Ditto for pantyhose.

They're a virtual cornucopia of colors, textures and heels-such as pastels and pearlized hues-snakeskin, woven leathers and metallics-and the reappearance of the ballerina flat.

However, a word to the wise: Don't try to pass off last year's old thickheeled pumps. Clunky is out, and delicate is in.

There really is something for everyone this year-flats for the whimsical who choose culottes and the above-theknee hemlines, and a fantastic range of heels and styles for those who choose those brush-the-knee lengths which emphasize the American woman's best asset: her legs.

And the spring shoes exude quality, whether it's the piping or the finely stitched soles. The detail is delicate, the accent is soft and the heel is visibly

shapelier.

The classic spectator has not only survived but has branched out this year with slingbacks, Chane] toes, open toes and different wingtip designs.

Definitely not to be overlooked are pantyhose. The light, pearlized stockings add a touch of shimmer to the leg.

"Pearly tints or rosedust tints go with flats or high heels," says Pat Johnson, fashion director at Bloomies White Flint store.

With all the colors to choose from, the rule of foot is-match the shoes and stockings. The rainbow starts at the toes and runs all the way up the leg.

The trend and the fashion statement are clear-there's absolutely no excuse for dull feet.

Washington's elite feet used to go to New York to buy shoes . But no more.

Even the venerable Evangeline Bruce admits, "These daY..S I buy a lot of my shoes at a little store in Georgetown."

Shoes are moving from clunky to soft and the lower heels are a boon to the

working woman and the Washington hostess, both of whom spend hours on their feet. A perfect example of both is Chief of Protocol Lenore Annenberg who states flatly, "I'll be wearing medium heels and soft leather comfortable shoes."

One of the reasons is that this year's shoes are so comfortable. Richard Good, shoe department Manager for I. Magnin says, "The main emphasis is light and pretty. And the pretty aspect is opening up the pump which is flattering to the foot."

One way D.C.'s own First Lady Effi Barry keeps comfortable from morning to night is by wearing open shoes. To make sure of comfort at night, she says, "I wear a pair of shoes around the

40/Apri/1981/Dossier

house to break them in.''

But life can be tough, even for elite feet, especially narrow ones. Jane Ikard says she sticks to plain pumps with medium heels because "a slingback does not stay on my foot."

But narrow feet notwithstanding, shoes are definitely high impact this year. As Garfinckel 's designer shoe buyer Larry Garrett says, "Customers are buying everything-from classical navy and white to metallic sandals."

"Shoes are the prettiest they've ever been," says April Riccio, Saks Fifth Avenue's Chevy Chase fashion coordinator, "because of the candy and confectionary colors."

The color range sounds like a HoJo's ice cream menu-peach, pistachio,

Pantyhose from Woodward & Lothrop; Baby chicks from Tree Top Toys; Teenee Beanees from Maillard's, Bethlehem, PA.

boysenberry are the pearlized pastels.

Even with the advent of flats, not everyone is going to run out and buy a ballerina shoe, "but it certainly is a fashion statement," says Woodward & Lothrop Vice President Nancy Chistolini .

And oh those evening shoes. For a walk on the wild side, there are bugle beads, sequins, gold and silver meshes, even rhinestones on silver mesh. But the classic dancing pumps of satin and silk are certainly holding their own. And there's a whole lot in between. Lord & Taylor's Catherine di Montezemolo, Vice President and director of fashion says, "We're showing stripped and elegant slings with mid heels for evening."

One of the classiest shoes arouind is

the Evins black silk pump with a toe rosette worn by First Lady Nancy Reagan at the Inauguration Eve Gala.

Both I. Magrun and Neiman-Marcus carry it.

According to Press Secretary Sheila Patton, "The First Lady wears a basic pump with a medium heel all the time, for day and formal wear."

Two more opera pump buffs are Buffy Cafritz and Nancy Dickerson. "The opera pump is my mainstay," says Cafritz, "and Charles Jourdan is my favorite.

When Nancy Dickerson travels, she packs three pairs of identical Geoffrey Beene black patent leather pumps with grosgrain bows. They go with everything."

N FAJR OF THE HEART Nearly 1700 Washingtonians with heart-the largest turnout ever- showed up for the pre-Valentine's Day luncheon given by the D.C. Women's Board of the American Heart Association. Board Chairman Anne Camalier noted that Mamie Doud Eisenhower, for whom their scholarship is named, served 30 years on the board. The annual luncheons have helped to raise over $450,000 to fund medical projects.

During the luncheon, 26 Garflnckel's models flashed by in 22 minutes, showing one hundred spring fashions. The bevy of top designers ranged from Galanos and Oscar de Ia Ranta to Glvenchy and Halston.

At Francie Smoak' s table, Nancy Reynolds crossed her fingers , hoping to win one of the sumptuous door prizes. (She didn't.) Mrs. Philip Steptoe drew the fur jacket and the 10-day Caribbean cruise went to Mrs. Sam R. Watkins. A long weekend at Hilton Head, SC, was won by Nancy Hines.

The program read like a Who 's Who In our new administration. Cabinet wives included Mrs. Terrel Bell , Mrs. Caspar Weinberger, Mrs. John Block, Mrs. Richard Schweiker and Mrs. Donald Regan. At day's suc~ cessful end, Helen Linden sighed gratefully and said, " I wouldn't have atJudy McLennan, luncheon Co-chairman Helen Linden , and tempted it without the help of my Co-chairman Kay Diane Bowles and ali the others we worked with. honored guest Barbara Bush at pre-luncheon reception.

New York City " glamor" was very much on view at the Martha Graham Gala World Premiere of "Acts of Light" and at the pre-dance reception given by Danish Am bassador and Mrs. Borch at their handsome modern Embassy where every room bloomed with masses of tulips personally arranged by the hostess.

If Martha Graham herself was the preeminent figure on路 stage at the Kennedy Center (she reminisced for 10 or 15 minutes, sitting down in front of the curtain , to the delight of her fans and the discomfiture of others), Baby Jane Holzer was the cynosure of every eye offstage in her back路 less black lace pants with nude-we mean nude-underlining. Buffie Cafritz was speechless when she confronted Holzer but Catharina Biddle gamely, if tongue in cheek, con路 gratulated her on her outfit while Sophie Englehard and the Corcoran's Dr. Peter Marzio looked on .

Philanthropist Evelyn Sharp and Alexander Bacolin helped underwrite the evening.

Arguably the most important men in the Reagan administration sipped drinks and chatted of summits, ships and sealing wax In the intimate con fines of French Ambassador and Mrs. Francois de Laboulayes' elegant drawing room . The occasion was a pre-dinner cocktail hour to signal the visit of French Foreign Minist er Jean Francols-Poncet.

His counterpart, Secretary of State Alexander Haig , Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, and National Security Adviser Richard Allen obligingly took turns moving around in front of the photographers crammed in the doorway. Haig displayed none of his noted tautology (as in " new innovation") as he spoke coolly of a Soviet-U .S. summit "at the appropriate time."

Among those seated at round , pink-draped can dlelit tables In the tapestried dining room, were Senators Paul Laxalt , Claiborne Pell, Charles Percy, Sam Nunn and James McClure and wives.

Food for Thought from Yesterday's Books As Americans,

we enjoy prosperity not as the result of mere pluck and luck, but through hard work, determination and dedication to tdeals that has been characterized by our unquenchable thirst to know.

It was this intense passion for learning that kept a young Abe Lincoln far into the night, scratching charcoal ciphers on a shovel back by a dim fire's light or caused a Ben Franklin to loose his kite square into the thunderstorm's fury. It accounts for the simple stroke of luck that Edison enjoyed, trying that thousandth rna/erial for filament when ninety and nine hundred had failed and it shone in the eyes of Jefferson when he worked long and late in a small room on Philadelphia's Walnut Street, preparing what he called "an instnHnent to express man's justifiable need for self-determination."

Common and uncommon men have risen to greatness when an era or an idea demanded it. Throughout, this love of knowledge-of reading and of books-has typified what is good and great in our forebears and in our land. The ability to better ourselves through thought, contemplation and reflection is the slender thread of which our civilization and our society is woven. A natural curiosity comPe_lling us to try every square peg in the round holes of the cosmos is the stuff of which scientists and civil servants, merchants and dtplomats, heroes and heroines are made. And when man loses the ability or the desire to pursue intellectual fulfillment-that overwhelming urge to know, absolutely and definitely-then does man cease to be free.

Here at Yesterday's Books, we strive to be comprehensivists-in our selection and in our world outlook. Oliver Wendell Holmes once s~id, "When you sell a man a book, you proffer not merely 12 ounces of paper, ink and glue, but the opportunity for a whole new life. "For you see, aiding this universal quest for knowledge is not only our livelihood-our appointed niche on the planet-but what we Perceive to be the hopes and dreams of all mankind. Books are not our product, they're our friends and children, our reachers and triumphs and our escape from the shackles of single mindedness, tedium and ennui. Those who haven't escaped into pages written a hundred days or years ago are poor indeed-poor in spirit and mind-an unneccessary poverty.

Trying to provide for the reading and self-enrichment needs of Washingtonians is what we've been doing, and doing well for nearly a decade.

75 YEARS YOUNG For a business that reputedly was launched on the flip of a coin, Washington real estate giant Shannon & Luchs has lasted a long time-celebrating their 75th birthday recently-now employing a workforce of 1200. The coin flip supposedly decided whether Foster Shannon 's father, then 23, or Ken Luchs' grandfather, 22, would be President of the firm, which Shannons have headed ever since . Both families epitomize the "boundless energy , fighting spirit for numerous causes, and faith in the future of Washington" attributed to Luchs' father in a newspaper editorial.

You enter your house carrying a load of &roceries and want a few seconds to turn off the alarm, but they should be designed to be switched into an "immediate alarm," particularly during sleeping hours. The danger is forgetting to do so, and therefore instantaneou alarms are sometimes favored.

Tom Smith's Security, Inc., in Bethesda incorporates various comPonents into one system to meet individual security needs and budgetary considerations. "We buy from many sources, so I talk about which of 50 systems would fit the client's needs," he says. We design the system around What the customer's needs require."

To assure fair value received, Smith recommends that customers get several estimates and check the alarm comPany's reputation with the Better Business Bureau. He also feels that the cornpany should have an electrical contractor's license and that a licensed master electrician should oversee in~tallation work.

ADT Security System's newe t total residential security system, the 7525 1 Ystem, is housed in a single control Panel, usually installed near the main entrance of the house. Security sensors lllay include window and door contacts, Pressure-switch floor mats, photoelectric beams, ultrasonic motion detectors and heat and smoke detectors.

In single-family homes the unit is Connected to an ADT central station, of ~hich there are more than 150, in the :S., Canada and Europe . In a condo~l nium or other multi-family residence ~e u_nit may be integrated into a central onnoring console with voice com~Unications to security personnel, ex~ ains Robert Schotta, ADT's sales anager in Maryland and Virginia.

J\s with most sophisticated alarm ~stems, the interior circuit of ADT's 25 system can be switched on or off 1 ~llow movement in the house when estred, while keeping the exterior pro{!ctect. "A total innovation in home curity, the 7580, including a fully ~lllputerized central station, will be "ailable in early September," Schotta ~Ys . "It has been tested in the ~ ~.ashington metropolitan area for the "" 1 eight months." ~IJ\ key element for which Beltway re arm Services has been nationally qCognized, says Dennis Ri ley, presiCnt of the Beltsville firm, is their eight-

zone system which identifies exactlY where trouble lies when part of the home security system malfunctions.

For example, if an open window makes it impossible to arm the system, the circuit which regulates that area will indicate that part of the house. Besides making it easier to service, this feature permits the homeowner to shut off the offending circuit leaving the rest of the premises protected and to leave for the beach rather than await a service call.

Riley says.

Riley points out that if two or three of the circuits go out, usually it's not accidental. "Because the police respond more quickly to that type of signal, the apprehension rate on our system eight is double that of the conventional system with only one circuit," he reports.

Potential buyers who always wanted to know everything (but were afraid to ask) about home security systems, should get hold of Wells Fargo's Guide Book on Security. This glossy publication covers the field from the historY of the company's Pony Express days to a thorough rundown on all the detection and protection devices on the market.

There are photos and charts to helP select a system on the basis of Underwriters' Laboratories' ratings of alarms and suitability of placement in th~ home, extent of protection, police an . n guard response, listed central stat1° and a number of other factors. . tS Wells Fargo's Robert Duvall polO out that the company's Pony Express Residential Security service offers sen; try digital dialer alarm systems th~­ come close to the comprehensive haf wired residential systems protecting ~he millionaires' homes. A major selhng point is that the transmitter uses orl dinary phone lines at no additiona monthly charge to provide alarm cornl munication to Wells Fargo's centra stations. . 11 Besides installation costs whtC range from $1,300 to $14,000 or rnore. en· most companies charge a monthlY c a tral station fee, roughly equivalent to phone bill.

0 If you're in the market, here are tW. st· facts to consider. One Great Falls r~ d dent who had an alarm system instal .e f was Bernard C. Welch, alleged th•.~t and accused murderer of card~olot•at Halberstam . He admitted to pohce t b· in his thousands of successful roto beries, only once did he attemPt la! burgle a house equipped with a bur!as alarm. Apparently, that once Cl enough.

Today, she sits on a business board, the Beneficial Standard Corporation, a diversified financial and insurance company. She works with Wallis Annenberg, daughter of Walter Annenberg, as a fellow board member of the southern California community TV station KCET, where she is on the pro&ram review committee.

After her first husband died of a heart attack in 1963, Jean Smith worked briefly in public relations for the Mark liopkins Hotel in San Francisco.

"Bill Smith strolled into my office Shortly after I got the job and said we had a mutual acquaintance. He was in San Francisco representing the Cali fornia Brewers Association. The brewers Went on strike and Bill was in town on and off for six weeks. That's when he courted me. We were married 14 lllonths later."

Named by President Nixon to the ~oard of the National Voluntary SerVtce Advisory Council, she soon became Vice Chairman with the assigntnent of evaluating ACTION and federal volunteer programs.

When the Carter Administration moved in, Mrs. Smith went on the board of the National Center for VolUntary Action, a private group (now called VOLUNTEER) founded by for~er Michigan Governor George l\Omney.

rehabilitators . Both neighborhood sported at least a 15 percent jumP in property values in the last year.

Then there is Capitol Hill and Old Town Alexandria. Both are world un· to themselves, one imbedded in poli· tics, the other in history. Propert Y values in both have more than doubled on the better streets in the last five year and each maintains a top spot in price per square foot rankings. Brokers rec· ognize the Hill and Old Town as neigh· borhoods still offering the best rehabili· tation possibilities among the prestige zones .

Any look at Washington's better neighborhoods must include those elbow-roomy areas once considered suburban but now accepted as countrY club extensions of the Nation' Capital.

In Montgomery County, Chevy Chase and Bethesda still attract younger families who want to be closer-in than the plush hinterlands of Potomac. In Virginia, it's McLean and ArlingtonThese neighborhoods close to the District line maintain square foot land values at about half of their counter· parts in-town. The farther out, general· ly peaking, the less costly the land per square foot. The catch is that you have to buy more in the luxury countrY neighborhoods such as Great Falls, po· tomac and River Oaks. Occasional small lots in those areas command high prices: a lot 6,250 square feet in River Oaks, for instance, recently was valued at $18 per square foot.

Washington's commercial land rnar· ket is no less a tempest these daYS· Thornton Owen, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Thomas J. Owen & Sons, the oldest and largest appraisal firm in t~e 10 District, say " ... it's going bonkers the downtown area."

In October, for instance, The ~a­ tiona I Food Processors A ociat1°~ paid $530 a square foot for a half bloC of downtown land at New York Avenue and 14th Street, walking distance froJll the White House.

The total price of $9.5 million _p_ro~ 0 duced a profit of more than $8 m1lh for the previous owners who bought the property in 1977 for $1.2 million. w "That made it a whole neur· ballgame," says Owen. "That P re chase is the benchmark for all futU transactions in the city." .e The highest previously known pr~~e for a piece of downtown propertY 15

00 per quare foot that the John "-kridge Co. paid last year for the YWCA building at 17th and K Streets.

Say Owen: "The value of a piece of commercial property depend on what You can do with it and how badly orneone needs it.''

William S. Harp, President of the American Institute of Real E tate ApPraisers agrees, adding that even in commercial treasure hunting, location helps determine value.

Mo t brokers agree that the hoHestand most expensive-commercial land Value today are located in the area west of 16th Street, N.W. to Washington Circle, and north of Pennsylvania Avenue to M Street, N. W. "The closer you are to a desirable Spot, the higher the cost,'' Harp say , Pointing to the downtown area boundect by 7th and K Streets, N. W. on one Side and 8th and H Street on the other. ''That location was designated in 1977 to be the site for Wa hington's propo ed convention center. Since then, the adjoining land values have tripled."

That area, says Owen, is part of the secondary commercial district, between 6th and 15th Streets from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts Avenues, where there are more buildable and available sites that are more affordable, at lea t for now.

"Supply and demand tell the Story," ay Owen. "Primary district are at a premium now. The secondary lllarket won't Ia t long."

There are indications of a huge influx Of investors joining the Wa hington commercial land rush. Institutional inVestors, such a insurance companies and owner /occupants such as law firms ~nd trade associations have been shelltng out top dollar for downtown land. ~nd lately, what real e tate broker call deep pockets"-the foreign and dolllestic megabucks folks who can afford Prime market values as investments-have been moving into town.

On the whole, District commercial 1 ~nd values jumped over 25 percent in . e last year. While tight money, high tnhtere t rates and runaway inflation s ?uld slow the market this year, sales jrtce are expected to e calate by at bat 15 percent per year through 1985, rokers agree.

Donnelly conclude , "The District' ~conomy is more stable than elsewhere ;n the nation. So long as that's the a e, ~ere'~l be an intense interest in prime d as~mgton land , commercial and re ienttal. It's ju t not likely to end anytime soon."
