Wherever she joes, no matter what the occasion, United States ambassador to Italy, "tare Booth Luce, captures the ipotllght and becomes the subject >f conversation. Indeed, on her visit to Washing on in connection with the appear ince of Italy's President Gronchi, ler looks', the things she said and lid seemed to interest onlookers as nuch as did the Italian dignitary ind his party for whom this cap iat all byt turned cartwheels to ntertain. Capltaiites, including the super ritlcal press, found the chic and lender silver-blonde Mrs. Luce s young looking and beautiful as vhen they first came to know her is a member of Congress from Connecticut. A* far as the press was concerned, she was found to be far more cooperative thaji at any time in the past, as well as less critical and bltingly witty. At every big function she attend ed during her recent visit her ap pearance was awaited with much interest. I heard numerous guests after going down the receiving line to greet the Italian visitors mur mur "I don't see Clare Booth Luce" or "Is Clare Luce here?" or "I wonder if she's coming" or "Have you seen her yet?" Inevitably on such occasions, when she finally showed up there'd be a rustle of excitement. Photog raphers would hurriedly Jockey for a good position to get their shots, waiters and other hired help would perk up, guests would crane necks and move a little closer. She's a hep one, this former ac tress-playwright, and knows the value of timing and how, to move to center stage. Her experience as a diplomat has given her added suavity, poise and graciousness of manner. However, despite all the publicity and conversation con , cerning whether she'd stick to her i post in Rome or seek a higher, ' more significant role, among Wash ington women it was what she wore that created the most comment. Clothes and how she manages to keep her good looks at past 50 with no bags, bulges or wrinkles! A taxi driver answered this last: "You'd be good-looking too if you had all her money!" Her hats created the liveliest discussion. Critics either liked them or they didn't. There were no in-between opinions. Mostly they liked a brand new white cha peau, straight-brimmed with frothy muchroom-top of tulle and fine feathers, worn with straight, finger length jacketed suit of black wool.
