oeOperatfve Housekeeping Plan
fakes for Successful Summer.
when the new District Commits
sioner. Colonel Frederick A. Fen
ming left town a day or two ago
for his vacation, It was to join Mrs.
fleming at Haven, Me-, where they
have a cottage. With q group of
Washington friends. including Jus
tice and Mrs. Walter Mccoy and
Justice and Mrs. Frederick Siddons.
they have solved the vacation prob.
1em. For, although each family
has its own cottage and can main
tain as much privacy as Is desired,
ahere is central club house Or
dining hall, with a housekeeper and
n well trained staff OF servants in
charge, so that the women folk are
relieved of all responsibility and can
put in q truly restful summer.
Much the same plan is followed
at Sherwood Forest down on the
Severn River, which is becoming q
1avorite resort for Washingtonians.
but everything there Is, Of course,
run on q much larger scale. In the
little group of cottages at Haven
but a half dozen fnmilies are in
for years.
Mrs. Siddons and Mrs. Mccoy are
already established at their sum-
mer home, with the two Justices
making plans to join them later on.
