Many From Washington
Motor to Old Estate
Near POolesville

Mrs. Mason W. Gray entertained
at a reception yesterday afternoon
at her country place. Gray Haven
Manor, near Poclesville, Nd, which
she has recently purchased. The
house, made Of brick brought from
England in the earliest days of
the Colonies. has large rooms with
high ceilings and deep window
embrasures.
The workmanship and the ma
terial used in the original build
ing were of such quality that lit
tie repairing was necessary when
Mrs. Gray became the owner.
Lovely old locust trees make an
effective setting for the simple but
dignified brick structure.
Dairy Farm
Mrs. Gray plans to convert the
14O.acre tract into a dairy farm,
where she and and her only child,
Mason w. Gray. jr.. will spend
the larger part of the year-com-
ing into washington for the win
ter to occupy their home at 33iS
Ross Pl. The present owner is the
widow Of Major Gray. who lost
his life in France during the
World War.
Before Mrs. Gray became the
owner of the old estate, which she
renamed. the deeds record previous
names such as Johnnie and Mol
lies Conclusion" and others of
similar significance.
According to the tales of the
oId.timers of that section, the
place was once traded for a side
saddle. But the saddle had silver
trimmings was not just an ordi.
nary saddle, it's value being about
$500, which was a goodly sum for
land in those days when the popu-
lation was sparse.
Diplomats
At the reception yesterday,
Nine. Alfaro. wife of the minister
OF Panama, assisted the hostess in
receiving. And among the guests
were many South American diplo-
mates, group with which Mrs.
Gray has had close association for
several years.
other guests noted were the
former Minister of Bulgaria and
Nine. Panaretoff, Col. and Mrs.
Frederick Coleman, Major Casa
hus. military attache of the
Spanish Embassy: Gen. William
e. Horton. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Clinton Henry, and Miss Elena

A chief center OF interest for
the guests was the huge, old
fashioned kitchen with its man.

nent used in the days Of long
ago.
