spend a few days in Washing
tn next week, before you sail away TO
| urope for the summer. why, you'd just
nd such letters more Often How can
ait for you to get here? Anyway, I'll tell
III the news TO date, and then, when you
get here
Probably you'll be little surprised to
know that Minnie Stone and Arthur Foraker
waIked off to Baltimore and were married
Thursday at noon. They took Pauline, Vir-
Ciria Hammond, and one or two other folks
nto their confidence in the morning, and
the little party accompanied them and wit
messed the ceremony, and were their guests
at luncheon later at the Belvedere. They
left afterward for a motor trip to Philadel-
rhia, Atlantic City. and BYn Mawr, where
Arthurs brother-in-1aw and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. King Wainwright, reside.
Well, you know Minnie never did care
much about making big ado over things,
md she would not have formal debut nor

Quite often ] see, Congressman and Mrs
Ca1eb Powers in the Capitol Park. Mrs.
lowers walks to the Capitol frequently in
the morning with Mr.. Powers, and they us

ust like a, boy and girl together.
No, Mrs Ansberry. wife Of the member
rom Ohio, is not going abroad this year.
She is going TO remain right here in Wash
reton until after Congress adjoIrns, and
hen she and Mr.. Ansberry will 60 TO New
hampshire, where they have taken bun
galow somewhere in the mountains. Accord
ing TO Mrs. ansberry, the place is not near
anywhere, but West Springfield comes
nearer TO the nearest place than anywhere
else, and suppose that is the postofice.
Anyway, it is one of those beautiful noun
sin places where there is little else to do
Hut sleep, eat; motor, and read, And, come
10 think of it, who would want more. would
not, especially in New Hampshire. I'd be
wiling to pass up alt sorts of aurusements
and entertainments to SPEND summer up
there.
There is a ghost of chance for me to
get 10 Newport this summer. Usually | do
not believe in ghosts, but have some faith
in this particular ghost of chance. Whether
il is TO merely pass through or to stay for
little visit do not know, but whichever it
might be- there is one thing want to see if
do not see anything else in the place And
that is the new bungalow the former As
sistant Secretary of State and Mrs. Hunt
ington Wilson have just completed.
I've heard of this bungalow until I'm sure
I'll recognize it from afar. Ii is located on
Ocean Drive, and one of the especial fea-
lures IS the arrangement of the baths, which
are attached to every bedroom suite, with
entrances from both outside and inside,
thereby affording the use of the rooms after
a dip in the surf. Flagstone walks lead to
the private beach directly in front of the
bungalow Now that is my idea of sea-
SnOre nome.
Another innovation which | hear is at
tractng all sorts of attention is the roof til
ing. 1t was imported from Ohio; having been
removed from two houses whose respective
ages we're far over the century mark Those
who have seen it say it resembles old cop
per, partly Furnished, and Mrs. Wilson, in
arranging for the purchase of the tiling, was
obliged to recover the roofs~of the Ohio
houses with slate.
Susan, told you was keeping tabs on
the places where | saw the wild strawberry
blossoms. went out Saturday afternoon
and gathered oodles of them and they were
so good!
Now the hedges and road edges are just
smotnered with masses of honeysuckle, and
il is all in bloom and so fragrant. Ask Ruth
about it some time.
To quote one of the debutantes, every
one but the kitchen stove" was at Annapolis
some time this week. Either the game, or
the hop or the graduating exercises, or all,
