Hill Keeps House Open
Two Of Washington s most
interesting hostesses are find
ing the Capital a pleasant
place for residence while
most Of their friends are
being refreshed at Bar Har-
Dor, Newport, Southampton,
ON the North Shore, or in
Europe.
Mrs. Longworth is linger-
ing on in her home at 2O09
Massachusetts, Ave-, although

motor for their home in Gin
cinnati, where he joined the
Daughter Of the House,
who went out with her nurse
several weeks ago to get
things ready for the arrival
Of her parents. Or SO it
seemed to Paulina.
Vacation"
Mrs. Longworth apparently
enjoys q vacation" like this
once in . while-when she is
left to do entirely ~ she pleases.
THE popular opinion h that this
daughter OF President Roosevelt
alWays does IS she pleases- but
like most popular opinions there
are flaws marring its accuracy.
No definite flaws win be
pointed out for the enjoyment
Of readers. However, it is only
reasonable and true OF everyone
that none ever does c0ntinu-
ously what he, or she wishes to
do. And certainly not when
there is a husband and child in
the family. And perhaps still
less when there are not these
interesting members Of the TIRE
side group.
Walks and Reads
Every day Mrs. Longworth
takes a vigorous walk, averaging
about five miles. Then she reads
good deal-frequently stroll
ing down to some shaded spot
IA Potomac Park with a book
under her arm and sitting there
for an hour or two.
Undoubtedly in the evening she
finds q congenial little group Tor
her favorite indoor s1ort--a. nice
little game played with cards.

teenth street is only used when
