Le Compte explained. "We just want to learn how to put our thoughts together more clearly. Not everybody from our home states gets to come to Washington. The women especially are interested in all the little details of our life here." Mrs. Le Compte used to write about her recipes for the Corydon, Times Republican, owned by her husband.

She is thinking of offering the paper a social column. Her first one would be about a party at the White House. "We have been here 16 years, and this is the first dinner we have attended at the Whl House." she told me. "The women back home want to know what the table looked like, who there, what I wore. The dinner for Vice President and Mrs.

Nixon, and 1 wore a black and gold lace dress." Most of the journalism class will write accounts "purely for consumption of the wornenfolk back in their home districts" she said, adding: "if our husbands introduce a bill in Congress we might mention it incidentally."

Francis Perkins Keeps Political, Chapeau Interest WASHINGTON Miss Francis secretary of labor and the country's first woman cabinet member, would be just as unlikely to give up her interest in politics and social service as her famous tricorne hats. The Napoleonic chapeau, rn through the years by this militant and energetic woman who was one of the three federal civil serv i commissioners when she retired at the age of 70 in January 1953, has been her trademark. "I have no intention of adopting a rocking chair way of life," the lady said at the time. "I don't knit." In addition to plans' for writing another book her last was "The Roosevelt I Knew," published in 1946 Miss Perkins has joined the ranks of prominent Democratic women who are stumping the country to boost their party's cause in the developing political campaign. Ohers in the group include the former ambassador to Denm a rk, Eugenie Anderson; former U.

S. Treasurer Georgia Neese la Gray; former Illinois Congresswoman Emily Taft Douglas, wife of Sen. Paul Douglas; the former alternate representative to the United Nations Status of Worn Committee, Olive Remington Gold; and Mrs. Oscar Chapman, wife of the former secretary of the interior. Secretary of labor from March 1933 to June 1945 and one of the "Inner circle" of Franklin O.

Roosevelt's "New Deal," Miss Perkins strongly believes "it is the civil servants who are going to keep this government operating." Government work, she has said, offers better than average opportunities for rank and file employees. "The efficient worker can look forward not only to regular in-grade pay increases but to promotions which may lift him to a very good salary indeed." Miss Perkins says the current great pressure to reduce government personnel is practically unnecessary since personnel has been gradually decreasing since the end of World War II. At the time of her reitrem Miss Perkins said she planned to make Maine her legal residence. She was born in Boston and educated at Mount Holyoke College at South Hadley, Mass. However, she is still living in the house she took in residential Washington when she first came here.
