FIRST, THE HAT—Before her first airplane flight Wednesday—to visit her son, U.S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel in Washington—Mrs. Henry Kuchel of Anaheim just had to have a new chapeau. Here, Mrs. Ruth Womack helps select one. Suppose a woman faces the prospect of her first airplane flight, alone and across country. What would she do? Why, buy a new hat, of course. That's what Mrs. Henry Kuchel of this city did when she decided to leave Wednesday noon to visit her son, U.S. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, in Washington, D.C. She took off from Los Angeles International Airport, on a noon flight Wednesday, but not before adjusting the new hat she bought the day before. She admitted she looked forward to the trip, but with some misapprehensions. But she was certain it would be better with a new hat. Mother Kuchel had the help of Mrs. Hildred Ferrell of Anaheim in selecting her chapeau. It's a trim little black straw, with shiny black berries. It's something she can wear often, to many places. Mrs. Kuchel said. The trim little veteran of 20 years of politics, since her son first became Assemblyman, is a practical sort. After seeing the sights of Washington, she will visit with her sister, Mrs. J. F. Cleaveland in Peapack, N.J. She will be in the east until Sen. Kuchel flies back May 22 to address a World Trade Weak banquet in Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel the following day.
