In a 1946 resume to join the UN, Hone describes part of her acting career:An excursion to England hellbent to play Shakespeare and succeeding in doing so with an oldfashioned repertory company in Egypt. Back to N.Y. again due to family pressure and the lead on Broadway in Ibsen's Lady from the Sea, a ‘distinguished flop’; and a play written for me about a witch, also a flop.Circa 1946, she moved to Washington D.C. to work for World Federalist radio commentator Raymond Graham Swing. However, she moved back to Morristown likely to care for her ailing mother; during this time, she continued to work for the World Federalist Movement, working for the branch in New Jersey. Hone's mother died in December 1949. That year, Hone moved to Amsterdam for 8 months to work for the Dutch branch of the World Federalist Movement. In 1950, she also worked with both Democratic and Republican politicians as part of NJ's United World Federalists branch.
