DR.. and Mrs. James Dudley Moreau
are back at their Chevy Chase home
after spending part Of the summer at
winter Harbor. Me. They were; charm.
ed with the place and hated 10 leave
but after the manner of Maine resorts
everything closed up tight on the first
Of September. They had planned to
stop over for a week or ten days In
New York on their way home; bu,
found the town hot and owerrun with
mosquitoes. % the picture Of their wide
rooms and cool green lawns proved ir.
resistablc. and they came almost di.
rectly home.
Eleanora is still in tho North. She
recently has been the guest OF Francis
Williams. who had q most wonderful
house party at the home Of the Jos.
eph Letters. and will make several
other visits before returning to town
about the first OF October.
John Clapp. who has been motoring
leisurely through the eastern and north.
err States for several months, is In
Philadelphia for a week. He is a golf
enthusiast. and has played in several
| tournaments at White Marsh and some
OF the Philadelphia suburbs. He NAV
| return to Washington next week-and
then again he may not. He does not
burden himself with plans. but comes
ard goes when the spirit moves him
His sister. Alice. Clapp, has also mo.
tored several thousand miles in de-
sultory sort OF fashion this summer,
but Is now in Atlantic City.
More and more ia domestic science
coming to usurp the place of music In
the minds Of girls who have time on
their hands and wish to occupy 1t with
something worth while. Which is. in
my humble opinion. a good thing.
1t takes genius to accomplish any
thing really vital In a musical way. in
these days OF graphophones and me-
chanical instruments Of all sorts: while
with a little study and practice We
may learn to play upon a fireless cook
er and become accomplished house
wives. Furthermore. It Is less destruc-
tive to the happiness Of newly married
couples and to the digestion Of brand
new husband to play by ear than to
cook by ear-and there comes a time
even In the best regulated fsmilies
when tho mistress OF tho household
must do her own cooking.
Be that as 1t may-I give you my
observations for what they are worth
the fact remains that girls. honest-to-
goodness society girls whose heads are
mostly filled with parties and beaux. are
taking UP domestic science as a study.
The roster Of the School Of Domestic
Science and Art is full Of their names.
