] LETTER.

DEAR SUSAN-The rainly days early
in the week caused many heart-burnings
among the pretty girls gathered at An
napolis for the June week festivities.
but the sun burst forth on Friday morn
Ing, and verify I never have seen a
prettder sight than the lovely campus,
with the girls in their gay frocks, and
staiwart middies. straight and upstand-
ing In blue and brass buttons.
Tho Ton Of the occasion was, OF
course. Dick Adams. son Of Captain
Adams. of the forestry service. good
looking young chap. who cheerfully ana
easily absorbed oil the honors that are
usually distributed among some dozen
or two members of the graduating 'class.
or course, he led the class german
dancing with Rhoda Fullum, and they
certainly made an attractive pair.
There were fewer people than usual
at the June ball. but the decorations
have never been so lovely, and-but you
have seen June week, with all Its good
times and pretty customs. so there Is
really nothing l can tell you about It,
except that the world and his wife went
down from Washington. ....
N. J.. who has been visiting her cousin,
Alice Shepard. for several weeks, is a
veritable duck In the water. for she
can not only swim like fish. but dives,
swims under water. walks on her hands
on the bottom of the pool, and does
all manner of spectacula stunts. She
is a very attractive person, with abun-
dant wavy. golden hair, and she GER
tainly has had q good time here. Alice
Shepard, herself, Is an unusually accom-
plished person. She can swim. row or
sail q boat, ride horseback, and manage
an automobile as well as any man. even
to the extent of putting on tire. In
deed, she was one of the first women In
Washington to run a machine.
Cornolia will close her visit in Wash
ington on Monday. and will stay with
friends in Perth Amboy, N. j., for q
while. and then in July go to Bay Head.
N. J.. for tho summer. She has spent
her summers there ever since she wes q
child.
The Shepards expect to remain in
Washington until the list of August, If
not later. after which they will go to
New England for little while
-
Col and Mrs. Eugene F. Ladd.
who have gone to Phillips Beach. near
Boston. for the summer. will return to
Washington in the fall. but 1t may be
only to close their house and say good
by to their innumerable Washington
friends. For IL is rumored that they
are planning to live permanently in
Boston. where the colonel owns prop
erty.
-
Capt. and Mrs Ted" Baldwin went
to Oakland. Va, yesterday to pass the
weekend with the William b. Cliffords

having come up from Annapolis, where
they spent June week with their son.
Alexander Wotherspoon, who was one
Of the graduates. .-.'
Mrs. Baldwin also ran down to Annap-
oils for day or two, and took with her
her attractive young guest. Marian
Luhn, who has just been graduated

Mawr. They both had a royal tirno at
Annapolis. taking in all sorts Of parties
during their short stay. including a
luncheon with Mrs. Frank Beatty and

party aboard Colonel Thompson's house
boat. Then on Friday Marian and her
