which she purchased three
years ago and upon which
she had built a large, ram
bling house-in appearance
rather like d summer hotel.

erty without ever having
occupied the frame struc-
ture that has stood for q
year or more as a white
landmark to travellers on
The road leading to the Con-
gressional Country Club.
Favorite
Long before the tract Of land
became the property Of MRS.
walsh the tree-shaded hill was
favorite spot Of hers for
picnic parties. It boasts one OF
the loveliest views OF all that
picturesque section. .,x.
Not far away-in fact, WITHIN
sight-is 'sHemlock Hedge, the
attractive suburban home Of the
Former Postmaster General and
Mrs. New, who also purchased
snronertv and built a house ac-
scording to their wishes. How
ever, they moved into their
house as soon as it was COM
pIetod and have been living
there ever since-that is, Tor
four or five years.
Edward B. Mclean, son-in-laW
OF Mrs. walsh, was the owner
from whom the latter bought the
tract and to whom, it is reported,
it has been sold back again.
Town House
Mrs. Walsh's town house, at
1920 Massachusetts, Ave-, Is Tor
sale. This has been on the mar
ket for Q year or two. The SIZE
OF the huge pile. however, makes
its price beyond the reach OF the
man of average means. It would
probably make a good embassy or
organization headquarters.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Walsh Is occu'
pying an apartment at the May
flower Hotel, where she has 9
few Of the furnishings from her
house.
