Mrs. Lincoln
Goes North
For Rest
Granddaughter of Widow OF
Robert Lincoln Flies
to HiIdene


Mrs. Lincoln lives very quietly
in Washington2 and her activi-
ties are seldom recorded in the.
social columns. Her husband
is quoted as having said in one
of his few published interviews
that he was the son of, a great
man and, that being his sole
claim to fame he had never
desired or sought publicity.
His wife agreed with him and
as his widow has pursued his
public policy.
Gracious Hostess
The Lincoln house in George
town is one OF the most beauti-
full residences In the quaint old
section but it is never the scene
of any spectacular entertain
ments. Mrs. Lincoln is a gracious
hostess but her few parties are
given to a small group Of only
intimate friends.
Her granddaughter. Miss
Mary Lincoln Beckwith, who
makes her home the greater
part of the year with Mrs. Lin
coin. has Joined her grand
mother at Hildene, their Man
chester residence. Miss Beck
with made the trip by airplane
and, although she carried a
pilot, handled the controls the
greater part Of the flight her
self.
Granddaughter is Flyer
Miss lincoln is a pilot of
unusual ability and owns and
flies her own plane. Probably
the only publicity the family
has had in years was when
the newspapers discovered,
somewhat to their aston;sh-
ment, that the M. L. Beck
with" enrolled as a pupil at
one of the local flying schools
was a Rreat-granddaughter Of
the martyred President.
