The Washington times., 1922-04-08

Sunshine after days of rain.
Everyone out in their pretty
spring clothes. Seem to be as
many tweed suits and colorful
sport shoes on Sixteenth street as
on + street downtown. The
busses look like animated Gu
cumbers? Green and lighter green
tops.
There goes the White House
car. Wonder If Mrs. Harding is
in 1t. Reckon not. The windows
are all down and she is partial
to fresh air. Probably on it's way
to the White House. Mrs. Wads-
worth and Miss Evelyn Wads-
worth are coming back from
abroad. l hear. No. 100 Six.
teenth, the home Of Senator and
Mrs. Capper. A waggish solon
made a clever pun on the Capper
residence, apropos of Senator
Lodges visit there one day some
months, ago to discuss the farm
situation. "The place where
Lodge went to the bloc" he
called it.
There's DR.. Cary T. Grayson.
Seems to be waiting for someone.
All, there's the someone. His two
small boys. jolly little chaps run
ming to meet their daddy, their
nurse trailing smiling along in the
rear. Mrs. Franklin Lane going
into the Somerset. Probably to
visit her young grandson, Frank.
lin Lane Kaufman. She says he
is the MOST WONDERFUL baby.
The Weeks house on the corner
of Sixteenth and V. Looks jolly.
Used to be the Hughes home when
Hughes was Chief Justice. l hear
they wanted it back when they re-
turned as Cabineteers, but the
Weekses wouldn't give II up. They
wouldn't. The Loren Johnson
house next door looks festive.
They have such nice garden par
ties there in the summer. Beat
rice Henderson driving up the
roadway to Henderson Castle.
Looks like 1t ought to be perched
on a high cliff overlooking the
Rhine instead of Sixteenth street.
Meridian Park across the street is
lovely, they tell me. Never had
time to climb the steps and ac-
tually look at 1t myself. Hear
they are going to make a hotel out
of 2400 Sixteenth. never can call
il Meridian Mansions. Seems q
pity. Wonder where all the pres
ent tenants will go. More apart
ment hunting. So MANY Senators
live there reckon they'll have to
recess Congress while they look
for dwelling place. Rosa Maye
Kendrick, daughter of Senator and
Mrs. John b. kendrick. in riding
togs. Back from the bride paths
along the Potomac. Pretty thing.
Looks cute in her outfit. Ought to
he able to ride we'll. Her father
was a cowboy. But she doesn't
look much like a cowgirl.
.
NINE. JUSSERAND alighting
from her limousine at the en-
bassy door. Smart footman open
ing the door. Smart footman turns
and gives the chauffeur a letter to
mail. Smiles and goes into the
embassy. Little group Of sight
seers on street corner all agog. Ac-
tually saw an amba ssad doris wife.
Tell the home folks. Frequently
see the Ambassador and Nine.
Jusserand driving or walking. Nice
folks.
Marshall Field house. 26o0 Six

is in the city, caught a glimpse Of
Hugh Gibson's bride there the 9TH
er day. Waiting for her car and

charmingly animated fashion. Evi.
Mrs. Field. Guess she must be
here.
The Polish legation seems de-
serted with Prince and Princess
Lubomirska and their brood of
youngsters gone. Hear they may
return. Hope 80. The new Meth
erlands legation. block or so over,
is almost completed. I hear the
Minister and Nine. EverwiJn aren't
planning to move in until fall. At.
tractive place. Like the nice green
roof. The Franklin McVeagh
house Is being made over by the
Mexican embassy. The pillars in
'front.' improve 1t, to my way OF
mixing. Used to be too straight
u, d down.
Limousine with Mrs. Warren De-
lano Robbins. Lovely thing. Too
bad they are leaving. Washing
ton will be that much less at
tractive Had her boys with her.
Handsome little chaps.
The Breckenridge Long house.
Nice little fat black dog bobbing
around the lawn. Ash cans waiting
to be carted away. Look horrid.
why will housekeepers permit tin
cans to disfigure the appearance
Of an imposing mansion?
Park Road. Turn in myself.
