Hat and Hat Stand
Sally Victor
Eisenhower National Historic Site, National Park Service
Gettysburg, PA, United States
When Premier Khrushchev and his wife arrived for their visit in 1959, Mamie so pitied Mrs. Khrushchev's dull, frumpy attire that she gave her a fashionably new Sally Victor hat. Mrs. Khrushchev felt she couldn'st wear it since it so blatantly exemplified capitalism.
One of Mamie's pink hat stands-with an "E " for Eisenhower.
