By JEAN ELIOT

GUNNER plans begin to assume
~ an important place in the
scheme Of things. The choice Of
the Black Hills of Dakota for the
summer White House will bring
them new fame. The summer
quarters of foreign embassies and
legations viii be scattered up and
down the New England Coast, al
though many of the diplomats are
going home for the summer months.
And the destination OF one aftsr
another Of the official folk is being
announced.
Meanwhile. almost unsung, men,
bers of Washington's interesting
literary and artistic group are max.
Ing plans for summer Of work or
play, which are marked by origt-
nality and interest. The Rineharts
DIR. Stanley Rinehart aud his
brilliant wife, Mary Roberts Rlne-
hart-have already left for the
ranch In wyoming where they have
spent so many happy summers and
which has given Mrs. Rinehart
inspiration for many Of her thrilling
Western tales.
A Sea Ranger
Henry C. Rowland, writer of ro-
nnances and tales Of adventure, who
now calls Washington home, has
been in Maine for several weeks,
hoping each day to get away on a
cruise to Bermuda on the 40-foot
schooner on which he spends many
adventurous days. The weather,
however, has been extremely unpro'
pitious-rain, snow and day after
day of thick fog-and it looks now
as though this particular trip might
be given up, as Mrs. Rowland and
the children are expecting to reJoin
Mr., Rowland In Maine as soon as
the schools close. He had planned to
complete his voyage Of adventure
before their arrival.
The Rowlands own a little island
Just off Christmas Cove, Ne, where
they spend every summer and from
which Mr.. Rowland puts out on
many of his cruises in the schooner
Mary-named for Mrs. Rowland.
Usually he goes alone or with man
or two for company, for he likes to
put out into the open sea on these
expeditions, and the ladies don't love
q small boat in open water. But last
winter he took the boat from Maine
70 Florida by sea and then picked up
Mrs. Rowland for a leisurely and
most delightful cruise through the
inland water Of Florida.
