MRS. JOHN ALLAN DOUGH.
AVA ERTY has bought the resi-,
dence at 1712 R ST., which is now
being redecorated to suit her dis
eliminating taste, and win make her
home there after October !.
This m4ans that Mrs. Thomas f.
Walsh and Mrs. Dougherty have
come to the parting Of the ways
after happy association which has.
lasted for several years, during.
which time Mrs. Dougherty has lived
with Mrs. Walsh in her big home
ut 2020 Massachusetts, Ave. Theirs Is
. friendship on which there has
never been shadow, and which win
persist, although they are no longer
30 closely associated. But Fate has
stepped in to break up their joint
1nenage.
Fate Steps In
By some strange turn Of chance
Mrs. Walsh's widowed cousin, Mrs.
Jennie Krusemarck, who Is one of
her few relatives and TO whom she
is very devoted, came from Cali
1ornia to be with her for the winter
Just as Mrs. Dougherty decided that
she should make q home for her
niece, Miss Rosemary McGraw, sof
Boston, 1t seems that Miss Nc
GraW's father-and Mrs. Dough-
erty's brother is to be married. a
second time, and the girl was very.
anxious to come to her aunt. So that
has been arranged and within the
next fortnight Mrs. Dougherty and
Miss McGraw win be Ia their new
home.
Charm OF atmosphere
It's a long. low. yellow house,
with q good deal Of charm OF atrnos-
phere, which once belonged to Major

they were Senator and Mrs. Hard
ing. his mother, the late Mrs. John
r. Waggarnan. took over the r
Street house. Now Major and Mrs.
Waggaman are house hunting
again, having sold their Wyoming
Avenue residence-but that's quite
another story.
For the last several weeks Mrs.
DOugherty has been busy unpaclS-

was for some years American Naval
Attache in Picking or was 1t Tokyo?
AT all events, these brocades are

Col. Margetts and Maj. Parker
started playing the game in 1908 at
Fort Riley, Kans., when serving with
the 9th Field Artillery. Others who
held forth with the. Sixth's team were

the team. Both Maj. Sands and Maj.
Beard have appeared on the local field.
Both sim Brilliant. >
While Col. Margetts and Maj.
Parker are not so young as they
were in the stirring days at Fort
Riley. they are still full of dash and
fire and withal exceedingly hardy
players. In fact, it was only two
captained the Army team that won
the international military title In Eng.
land. and Maj. Parker's play has never
faltered in its bfilliance.
After leaving Fort Riley, Col. Mar.
gets and Maj. Parker played the
game frequently and in far.fung
places. Col. Margetts welded a mallet
In the Philippines when William
Cameron Forbes was governor general
Of the islands.
However, the most interesting fea.
ture, perhaps, OF Col Margetts' polo
career was his organization In 1920 of
four representing the American
forces In Germany, after the close
of~the war. This team also exhibited
In France and England. It was the
first United states Army combination
ever to play in the British Isles.
Apart from Col. Margetts. the four

In addition to his activities as a
player, Col. Margetts has always
taken an active part in the directing
Of the game. This year he is chair.
man Of the Army central polo COM
mittee, which supervises the game
throughout the country. When the
Army team recently won junior hon.
ors. followers OF the sport saw behind
Its sterling exhibition the steadying
guidance OF Col. Margetts. The team
and naturally Col. Margetts' advice
az to It's makeup was given iynpor-
tant weight. The victory of, the Army
Juniors adds even more to Col. Mar
