While talking of Annapolis let me
tell you the good news. The Good
Roads League of Prince George
County is receiving congratulations
on the successful result of their
long fight to have the road from
BIadensburg to Annapolis macada-
mized.
The Maryland State Roads Com
mission advertised for proposals
for the section of what will be
officially known as the Defense
Highway. but what will be gen.
orally known as the Washington
Annapolis Boulevard. from Blad-
ensburE to Lanham, and from
Largo to Western Branch on the
Halls Station road. Both sections
are to be of concrete.
The Good Roads League of Prince
George County has been making
a determined fight for this road
for years
] almost forgot to tell you of
another wedding. a quiet one. but
very interesting. 1t took place a
week ago yesterday. April 19. when
GIenwood f. Mahar and Miss Eula
Hillyard slipped quietly over to
the home of a Methodist minister
the son of Mrs. Belle Mahar and
the nephew of Clinton T. Brainerd.
president of The Washington
Herald Company. Mr.. Mahar and
his bride are at home now at
their apartment at Tenth street
and Massachusetts avenue.
Miss Kate Roy. who is visiting Dr.
and Mrs. l.. w. Glazebrook has been
the center ot much entertaining dur
ing the past week, but mostly in
quiet, informal way. Mrs. Glazebrook
gave a small tea-some forty guests in
all. and all old friends of Miss Roy
last Wednesday afternoon. Miss Roy
used to live here long ago. though Nor
folk is now her home. She. like the
Coxes MRS. Glazebrook was Jane Cox),
belonged to one of those old aris-
tocratic first families of Washington
that used to live in what old timers call
the first ward" F. G and III streets
between Eighteenth and about Twen-
ty-first or Twenty-second street. That
used to be the dwelling place OF the
really elite in Washington society n
generation or two ago. Practically all
were people who lived there and knew
Miss Roy in those days. 1t was a joI-
ly. congenial crowd and every one
stayed until scandalously late. Two
of Mrs. Glazebrook's sisters, Mrs.
Charles Hume and Mrs. f. f. Whit
ing. wife of Maj. Whiting, presided at
the tea table. The next day, last
Thursday. Mrs. Whiting gave a small
bridge party for Miss Roy, asking a
few guests in for tea afterwards. Mrs,
Charles Hume and Mrs Hartman, wife
of Col. Charles d. Hartman. presided
at the tea table.
Another visitor who was enter
tanned in much the same quiet way
was Miss Mary Maxwell Moore, of
Trenton. who was with Mrs Hughes
Oliphant for a week or more. She
returned home on Thursday. Mrs.
Olhhant gave such a charming. but
informal tea at the Club of Colonial
Danes for her last Tuesday. She
did not send out any cards. Per-
haps the most interesting guest was
dear old Miss Jane Wilkes. some 30
years of age. who made a great ef-
fort to go to the tea, and even stood
in the receiving line with Mrs.
