A DEPRESSION
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Kendall
to digress a bit--wilI stay on at
Kentsdale, their country home,
through June and July. although
they may take a short trip abroad
IN August. The Ennals Wagga-
mans are also planning to be in
town most of the summer, as
they are involved with completing
a lovely new house in Kalorama
Road, OF which they expect to
take possession in July.
The Hoovers will go shortly 20
their home in Palo Alto, Calf,
where the notification ceremon-
les" are to take place, but Mrs.
Hoover says she doesn't know
when they'll start and probably
won't until the day before. They
do things that way In her fam.
lily and she's had such long
training In acting on the spur Of
the moment that it causes her no
concern. Secretary and Mrs.
Hoover viii be honor guests on
Saturday evening at a dinner to
be given by the personnel Of the
Commerce Department in the ball
room of Wardman Park Hotel.
And next Tuesday afternoon Mrs.
Hoover will entertain the women
of the press informally at tea,
Mrs. Gam receiving with her.
