"The Awakening" which was dedicated
to her mother. and was published In
the form Of Christmas book.
Leila Gordon IL very much like ner
mother and has more than her share
OF beauty and charm. She IL without

The Montgomery Country Club in
Rockville has never done anything
about the use OF the same name by the
Montgomery Country Club in Bradley
Hills. There is constant confusion be-
cause of the similarity OF names.
Checks and mail OF all sorts destined
for the smart organization in Bradley
Hills are received each month by. the
older club in Rockville, causing the
officers great inconvenience. 1t GER
tainly seems strange to me that the
Rockville club has not either sold the
name to the newer organization or pro-
tested against its use.
