Lieut. Frank M. Kennedy. Of the
Tenth Infantry. is now able to rejoin
his regiment, which IL stationed at
Panama, after q long siege in the Wal

was injured In an aviation accident in
the South. His steering wheel or some

ly no harm was done the spinal cord

the Canal Zone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Armat have as
their guest. Mrs. Armat's mother. Mrs.
Binkley. The Armats remained at their
place on the edge Of Rock Creek Park
all summer-I don't think anyone would
care to 30 away with such a charming
home to remain in-with sundry motor
trips to the Jersey coast and roundabout
for variety. They also motored to Blue
mont. Va. several times. for Mrs.
Binkley spent most of the summer there
visiting friends. Moreover. Mr.. Armat
owns "Ravenrock," a splendid tract of
mountain land in that section and. al
though they have never built on 1t. they
like to look the place over once in .
while. Mrs. Binkley will probably 20
to Richmond for part Of the winter. and
she may also visit a son. who makes
his home in the West Indies.

for q time. taking numerous side trips
to Newport. jamestown, Saunderstown.
