kept opener rather a small part of
1t is-in winter just for the sports
men who come up for the hunting;
and Ellen and two girl friends of hers

The wee son Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam Bell watkins, who arrived just
three days too soon to be q Christmas
present, is to be called william Bell
Watkins, IT., for his goodlooking
father. So much I heard yesterday.
The baby was bornSin Philadelphia,
and the Washington friends OF the
mother, who formerly was Gladys
Mackay-Smith, ares Just learning the
news.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins, whose home
Is 'Maxmeadows," near Westtown,
Pa, are spending the winter in Phfla-
delphia with Mrs. Mackay-Smith and
Virginia MackaytSmith. They are
established in the Quaker City for
the season, and their visits to Wash
ington have been few and far be-
tween. The house they have taken
for the winter, the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. George W. Boyd, Is within a
stones throw OF the handsome resi-
dence occupied by the late Rt. Rev.
Alexander Mackay-Smith, when he
was bishop of Pennsylvania, which

B0yds Take Apartment
Fer the Winter.
The Boyds. understand, have gone
into an apartment this winter. Mrs.
Boyd was a Washington girl, Myra
Noyes, daughter of the late Crosby
S. Noyes and sister of Theodore w.
Moves and Frank B. Noyes. She was
q great belle here, and it seems hard
ly possible that her wedding took
place long enough ago for her to
have a charming daughter almost old
enough to make her debut.
