In the 1940s, she attended both Democratic National Conventions as the delegate from Arizona 1944 and Rhode Island 1948. She was a major fundraiser and co-chair of Harry Trumans Inaugural Ball. In 1949, President Truman appointed her Ambassador to Luxembourg.A decade of world travel led to a syndicated New York Herald Tribune column and meetings with nearly 20 heads of government. She became legendary across America as the hostess with the mostest. Perles most memorable party was thrown in London in 1953 and included members of the royal family, movie stars, diplomats and generals. But Perle enjoyed more than the glitz and glamour. Elegant foods and expensive entertainment arent prerequisites to a successful party... its warmth and friendliness that counts. - Perle Skirvin Mesta
