QARKS HOME
FROM WEST
INDIES
Presidents Secretary to
Go Soon to Swampscott;;-
Peter Pan Riotous
By JEAN ELIOT.

resi- from their holiday trip
to the West Indies anu Zen
& trail America, Mr.. and Mrs
Edward T. Clark are being given q
rarm welcome by their friends III
Washington, but the greeting eX
tended to them by Peter Pan Clark
verged upon the riotous. This
clever little wire-haired terrier,
who has the distinction of having
once been a resident of the White
House kennels and who was pre-
sented to the Clarks by Mrs.
Coolidge, now has a new claim to
fame. He is probably the only dos
In Washington whose house was
kept open for him. with maid
in attendance, during the absence
of his family on vacation.
There having been an S. 0. 5.
from Swampscott for President
Coolidge's personal secretary. MIR.
Clark will probably leav" We -
ir.gton the last of this week Tor
Massachusetts, making the H-p uy
motor. But Mrs. Clark expects to
linger on for week or so at her
pleas little house in, Sixteenth
street-resting from her vacation
and with Peter Pan to bear her
company. Later, she, too. will go
tc Swampscott for the rest of the
summer.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Clark are
bubbling with enthusiasm over their
trip, which took them to Cuba.
Christobal, Panama and numerous
other Central American ports. But,
I believe, they most enjoyed their
visit to Costa Rica. where they
were guests of Roy T. Davis, our
minister. at San Jose, the pictur-
esque capital They were entertained
bv the President of Costa RIGA.
Then, on their way down 20 Porte
L:mon, on the coast, they had. the
most interesting adventure of their
trip, a series of landslides ripping
up the railroad for many miles.
A special train was put through
70 rthem and they managed to
make the coast in time for their
steamer, but the four or five-hour
trip took nearly twenty-four and
in many places the track had to
be specially laid for them, the
train lying to once while eight
huge piles were driven into the
roadbed and a temporary track was
put down All this, moreover, took
place in the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea, with a sheer drop
below ones feet, so it is easy to
see why the Clarks regard the
incident as an adventure.

Jurist's Widow Returns to
Old Home in Chevy Chase
Mrs. Joseph Bradley, widow of
"Old Judge Bradley" has re-opened
the original Bradley Cottage" in
Chevy Chase and will be established
there indefinitely.
Judge Bradley at one time prac-
tically owned all of the property
upon which Chevy Chase Is built.
An outstanding event in his legal
career was his defense of John
Suratt, son of the Mrs. Suratt inn
pIicated in the ssassination of
President Lincoln. Prejudice against
Suratt was running so high at the
time that it was a difficult under
taking to find. a lawyer to defend
him. A woman, who is described
as a maryelously beautiful woman,
came to Judge Bradley and asked
him to take the case in behalf of
Suratt. Later this woman was re-
vealed to be a sister of the accused.
Judge Bradley, who was devoted
to the principle of giving every
human a ''fair show took the
case and John Suratt was acquitted.
The present Mrs. Bradley was
the second wife of Judge Bradley.
