A window into the social scene of the nation's capital. First lady Mamie Eisenhower was invited to be the guest of honor at the Arlington Republican Women's Club luncheon held on Dec. 12, 1967, at the Washington Golf and Country Club. She could not attend, but she made arrangements to have a foil-wrapped square of this fudge for each luncheon guest. The Fudge Party Was a Hit.
