“I feel exactly as if I’d never left, though it’s
taken me three weeks to get organized here," Mrs.
Bruce explained. "We spent the holidays at our
country place, Staunton hill, near Lynchburg, Va."
Mrs. Bruce was practically brought up for the
job as a diplomat’s wife. Her late father and
stepfather were both in the foreign service, and
she grew up in legations and embassies in Stock-
holm, The Hague, Berne, Tokyo and Copenhagen.
She went to school in Rome, Stockholm and Paris.
She speaks French and German fluently.
Despite her current preoccupation with getting
settled, she says she could give a dinner party on
a moment’s notice if need be, so accustomed is
she to the role of hostess. She prefers to give
big parties.
“They run themselves,” she told me.
Mrs. Bruce, a graduate of Radcliffe, met her
husband when she was working during the war
for the Office of Strategic Services in London.
He was her boss. Noted for chic, during her years
in Paris she was elected to the French capital’s
best -dressed lists.
