rented while DR.. Hume was abroad.
Mrs. Hume went to New York to meet
i, her husband when he landed and they
only got back here a day or SO ago.
Allen Hume is still another brother.
He lives over in Virginia. His wife
was a Miss Gardner. sister OF the
wife of Maury Dove, jr
| Col Jewett was adjutant at the
I Washington Barracks while he was
stationed there, and was instru-
mental in making the various
dances given by the officers there,
the great success they always We're.
He is West Pointer. was gradual
ed from the Military Academy in
1901 and was assigned to the en-
glneers. He was an aide to the late
Theodore Roosevelt when he was
President. When we entered the
war. Col. Jewett was sent to Camp
Lewis. Washington, where he form
. ed the 3l6th Engineers for foreign
service and took them over in July.
They soon found themselves in the
! St Mihiel offensive. Have you seen
major-excuse me, Col Robert Pat
! terson since he returned from Eu-
rope? l saw him at the Russian
ball and he still dances divinely as
in the old ante-bellum days. You
will remember he went to France in
command OF the first medical unit
of our army that was sent over
after we got into the war. ! recall
| that they landed in England
before going to France and were
entertained at a garden party by
Sir Thomas Upton. Pictures of the
party were shown on the motion
picture screens and all of us wero
able to pick out Maj. Patterson in
the front of the various groups. He
and his wife were so popular in So
ciety here in the old days: were in
vited everywhere and always had
such a good time. She was a beau
tiful woman and danced as well as
he. which is saying a whole lot. Her
death while he was abroad was
great shock to everyone. Col. Ten
ney Ross is also just back from over
seas
Charles Wheatley is back too. He
belonged TO the medical corps OF the
naval reserves before the war and was
called into active service immedla lately.
He was abroad during the entire time
that this country was taking part in
the conflict and has a fine record Of
service behind him. He Is now with
his mother, Mrs. Samuel Wheatley. at
their lovely home in Edgemoor, Md.
which his late father built when he
was, commissioner of the District
Edgemoore, Bethesda. and most of
Chevy Chase and the surrounding
country have been without a doctor
for some time.
DR.. John L. Lewis was the physician
who looked after most of the practise
| in that part OF the suburbs but he
passed away some months ago. worn
| out from overwork. DR.. Lewis gave
| his life for his country just as much
! as those physicians who died abroad.
So many doctors went into the service
DIR. Lewis didn't go. only because he
was no longer young-that his prac-
tIse became bigger than his strength
could stand. for he would refuse no
one. SO all of the neighbors of the
Wheatleys have begged Charles to
stay in their midst and practise in
stead of reopening his office in Wash
! ington. He has just decided to do so
and has taken a house in Chevy Chase
where he will have his Office. His
nephew, Samuel Wheatley Borden.
who went abroad with Major Ryan
| Devereux and his ambulance unit. is
still abroad and doesn't know when he
will get home. His mother who is
/ the widow of Capt. Borden OF the
Marine Corps. makes her home with
her mother in Edgemoor.
The Claude Langlais are back from
their visit to NJ. LangIais' parents.
NJ. and Nine. Henri Langlais in
! Paris. They sailed for France
about the first of November, just
before the armistiCe was signed. and
! only returned about week ago.
| They have been with Nine. Lang
lais' parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Ben
nett. since their return. but have
just moved into an apartment at
Wardman Park Inn, where they have
leased for several months. They
| tried hard to find an apartment last
fall upon Mrs. Bennetts return from
! Maine. where she remained during
the summer months, but in vain:
they couldn't find a thing. so stayed
on with the Bennetts until they
| sailed. NJ. banElais is anxious to
get out of the service now that the
war is ended. but finds that he
won't be able to be spared until
| about next August. SO they expect
to be here until August anyway.
| When he is released from the serv-
to France. where NJ. Langlais will
go to work with his father. taking
| the place of his older brother who
| was killed in the war after NJ.
Langlais came to this country with
| the French high commission, hav-
| ing been so badly wounded that he
| could not return to the front. The
| LanglaiS' home is in Lille. and not
| Paris, but OF course left there be-
fore the Germans took possession OF
that city. They are partly English
! One of NJ. Langlais' ancestors emf
grated from England to France and
was generally spoken of by his
| neighbors as the Englishman,
'rAnglais." which stuck to him:
| hence their family name. Langlais
