MERICANS who go abroad to
II live usually find themselves abb
holutely enamored Of the leisurely.
RIamorous life-for a year or two.
After that expatriated Americans
begin to be restless and repatriated
Americans find themselves perfectly
thrilled to be home again.
That's a generalization to which
Major and Mrs. Ennals Waggaman,
now in Washington after two years
in Europe. viii gladly subscribe.
Indeed, Mrs. Waggaman states EN-
pha tically that It will be many a
long day before she can be per.
suaded to go abroad again.
Happy Memories
And yet the happiest memories
persist Of their European sojourn.
They Travelled extensively and
mostly by motor. surveying most of
Europe and penetrating into North
Africa. But for the first year they
were away, they made their head
quarters in a picturesque and
charming villa at Juan.les.Pins and
enjoyed to the fullest the stimrlat-
ing social life OF the Riviera.
They wrote so enthusiastically Of
their experiences that Major Wag-
gaman's brother and sister.in.law,
Mr.. and Mrs Floyd Waggaman,
were moved to decide that they,
too, would spend a year or two
abroad So, after doing q bit OF
travelling on the Continent, Mr..
and Mrs. Floyd Waggaman Joined
the Ennals Waggamans in the
Riviera early last winter and they
took q villa together at Cannes.
But by early summer Major and
Mrs. Waggaman had become so
homesick that they decided to head
for Washington and their share in
the joint menage was taken over
by Mrs. Floyd Waggaman's mother,
Mrs. Robert Rackenzie, who had
gone over in the spring to Join her
family. "Mollie" Mackenzie Is now
visiting friends in Germany. but
will spend the coming winter at
Cannes with the F'oyd Waggamans.
