RETURNING
TO TOWN
Many Choose Cool Sub
urban Spots for
Summer
BY JEAN ELIOT.


Major Victoriano Casajus, mill
tary attache of the Spanish en-
bassy, and Slobodan GodveJac, at
tache of the legation of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, are the van
&c town from suburban spots
here they sought to pass in hap
illness and comfort the best part
of a hot summer.
Major Casajus and Mr.. Godjevac,
If am not mistaken, had a
bouse, or shack, or log cabin, or
some primitive structure, in the
wilds near Cabin John, where they
lCafed in solitude or made merry
with many guests, according to
the mood that dominated.
Whether these two left their
cool retreat while summer still
sizzled because the place had to
be vacated for other tenants, or
whether it was because of the
difficulty their guests had in
getting to and from the place, or
for some other equally important
reason, am not quite certain.
did hear though from those who
ought to know that the last big
party entertained there by Major
Casajus and Mr.. Godjevac was
"pepped up'' somewhat by the
transportation troubles of the
would-be guests. And Of course,
this has been no season for getting
popped up"
Anyway they are back in town
and Mr.. Godjevac is looking for a
house for this winter, which will
probably be shared with him by
Doctor Douchan Mainovitch, the as
ISOLATE of Mr.. Godjevac on the lega-
ton staff. Temporarily the two are
separated in their living quarters
Doctor Marinovitch remaining at
Wardman Park and Lord Byron
Valentino" having an apartment at
st. Adams, or some apartment
house overlooking the Connecticut
bridge.

that they can be near their official
duties are Garrard B. Winston, Act
ing Secretary Of the Treasury, and
Leland Harrison, Assistant Secre-
tary Of State, who are occupying for
the summer the Willard Starght
house on the Rockville road.
Does this mean that Mr.. Winston.
will share with Mr.. Harrison this
winter the famous bachelor estab-
lishment at 1918 H street instead Of
an apartment at Wardman Park, Of
the place on Sixteenth street?
Mention Of Mr.. Winston recalls
a conversation I had recently with
one OF my colleagues man who
writes the heavy dope-apropos of
this key man in the Treasury. He
was amazed at my remark that I
thought Mr.. Winston was Il bach
elor, and insisted that it couldn't
be true for he was such a "gor-
geous fellow"
So enthusiastic was my informant
over this gorgeous fellow" that 1
decided would take time OFF, and

dents to the Treasury to get a look
at, him as he gave out information

In my mind he is associated so.

"Patten girls" which, if true, would
seem to indicate that the gorgeous

G. Bascom Slemp, the Secretary
to the President, VIII remain at
Chevy Chase Club until the summer
is over or until political activity
becomes so intense he finds it more
convenient to be nearer the sources
of Republican information. Mr..
Slemp does not really belong in this
bachelor list, having been married
for brief period, but he Is generally
considered among the list Of eligible
bachelors.
