The pinchots did not arrive until

PfnchOts 10 He Missed.
Washington Is going 10 miss the Pin
chots a lot. True. they haven't been
actually living here for some years
past. But they've had their house and
have been down here quite frequently
This year. however. they have rented
their house to Representative and Mrs
Bourke Cochran OF New Ycrk-Mrs.
Pinchot and Mrs. Cochran being warm
friends-and there will not be the In
centive to be constantly running down
here for week or so.

had Charles j. Bells suburban home,
Twin Oaks. for the winter and

session after the time when the Bells
wanted their country home BY taking
temporary quarters at Wardmsn Park
Hotel. But the Bells have sold their
town house down near Dupont Circle

bought that beautiful country place. l
confess ! don't know where the Bourke
Cockrans live now when they are at

They really are in luck, however.
20 have been able 70 get that lovely
old Pinchot house when they were
obliged TO find other quarters. The
Peter Garrys have not been so fortunate.
They had the Henry White house for
several years. Mr.. White being a
yrtdower and not needing such a big
house. But having acquired a very

season finds the Gerrys with another
six years at any rate ahead of them
IN Washington, since Senator Gerry Was
reelected In November, without home
of aheir own. They are temporarily with
Mrs Gerry's mother. Mrs. Richard
Townsend. while looking for house
that will meet their views One would
think that the fact that the price is OF
little Importance might help some In
finding one.
"Exes" Cling 10 Washington.
Some Of the ''exes' find u hard TO
