D- Sunday, Oct. 29, 1950 DETROIT FREE PRESS Departure of White House Aide Shrinks Dwindling Stag Line BY ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON The plot to deprive Washington hostesses of the fundamental ingredient in life, love and the pursuit of happiness social success men, extra men, that is reaches new heights every week. The weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth increases hourly with each new announcement in what appears to be; a deliberate and scheduled attrition in the supply of available males. One after another of the younger party boys is shipping out to new posts. THE LATEST casualty in this heart-breaking performance was Commander William H.

Hudgins, White House aide, flower of old Virginia, and, to preserve the fancy figure of speech, a hardy perennial of the social routine. Hudgins, son of Edward Hudgins, Chief Justice of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, is a bachelor by choice. Because, he says: One, Washington social life has been too much fun for him to settle down, and two, it spoiled him. He left this week for London where he will be Flag Lieutenant to Farleys Head to Charlottesville En route to a honeymoon at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, and Mrs. Joseph Farley, whose marriage was sclemnized Saturday at noon at St.

This should open a new world for Hudgins' social operations as well as his professional talents, but it was still hard for him to get organized to go. Like all popular extra men, Hudgins was solidly booked from now until Christmas, and the social sacrifice was something appalling, in addition to the sheer bookkeeping involved in cancelling so many accepted invitations to dances, receptions, debuts dinners and such. THE LAST and most sentimental of the farewell parties for Comm. Hudgins was given by two fellow White House aides, Lt. -Comm.

Robert W. Hayler and Louis Meier. The boys share a house over in Virginia. Clare Foster, the small, pretty daughter of Vice Admiral Edwin Dorsey Foster and Mrs. Foster, made the hors d'oeuvres and Hudgins brought along his farewell gift from the aides, a silver ice bucket, to be christened at the party.

She's gone to New York City now, but plans to be back in Washington next Wednesday or Thursday.
