Tea with Margaret Chase Smith hosted by Laila Thompson (When civility and politics walked hand in hand!)

When I was quite young I remember going to Stuart and Nancy Noyes' home above Stuart's farm equipment business with my mother. She was attending a tea in honor of Margaret Chase Smith. As I entered the living room I saw the quest of honor sitting in a chair. 

The photograph below was another such tea in Smith's honor. This tea was in my grandmother's home on top of the hill -- Blake Road. This event must have taken place in the early 1950's.
