Resort Class
Dear Susan:

summer resort last year and from
present indications will have an
equally successful season" this sum-
nrer. To be sure, Congress has in
mind an adjournment in July, which
= would be followed by a general eXo-
dus of Congressional folk eager to
mend their fences; but the eNecu-
tive branch OF the Government will
have TO stick pretty close 10 its knit
ting and consequently thercH be no
lack OF official society.
The rumor persists that the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson have taken or
are negotiating for a cottage at
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. where
the Secretary OF the Treasury and
Mrs. McAdoo. son-in-law and daugh-
ter OF The President. have leased
place, with Rear Admiral and Mrs.
Cary T. Grayson as next door neigh
bors. But the President has not left
town on pleasure or recreation bent
for more than a week or ten days at
a time since the United States became
involved in the war; and it is my
guess that the summer White House
will be established at 1000 Pennsyl-
vania avenue. the Chief Executive
and Mrs. Wilson taking frequent
short trips aboard the Mayflower by
way OF vacation. That's what they
did last year. as you doubtless re-
member, and they both found the
summer most enjoyable.
Vice TreHident Marshall
Plans Vacation Trip.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall will be in town until Congress
adjourns, after which they will SO
TO their home in Indianapolis for
visit, provided the weather isn't too
warm. and thence TO Arizona to stay
with Mrs. MarshalIs parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William f. Kimsey. Clarence
Morrison Marshall. who seems TO
have become a permanent member OF
their family, although never Of
ficially adopted. will accompany them.
The Secretary Of State. whose
duties prevent his taking a very e&-
tended vacation, usually manages to
get away for few weeks in the late
summer. 1t is Mrs. Lansings custom
to remain in town with him. and TO
accompany him on his holiday. They
always go to Henderson Harbor, y. Y,
where they have a summer home and
where the Secretary devotes many
hours to his fsvorite sport, fishing.
Mrs. Lansing's mother, Mrs. John W.
Foster. will go to Henderson Hsrbor
sometime after the middle OF june.
Bakers and BurIeHOns
To Remain In Town.
The Secretary OF War and Mrs.
Baker intend to remain at their COM
Portable Old-fashioned house in
GeoT Eetown all summer, unless the
heat develops sufficient intensity to
drive them out. To my question as
10 whether she intended TO keep the
, children with her. Mrs. Baker re-
piled in the affirmative and told me
that the end Of both last summer.
