Mrs. MeSta Is
Returning
Shortly
Much Travelled Capital Woman
Has Home in Three Cities
; During Busy Season

Rumors that Mrs. George
Mesta, who has taken an
apartment in New York fol-
lowing a most successful
first season in Newport,
would not return to Wash
ington until late this winter
are based upon q surprising
lack of knowledge Of the
habits of the lady.
Mrs. Mesta always has an
apartment in New York for
the winter and divides her
time between the Metropolis
and this city, with the Capt.
tai receiving q little more Of
her attention than New
York.
New York to Washington
In fact Mrs. Mesta during a
busy season rolls up a record
for train travel that would
compare more than favorably
with that of the most energetic
and "up and coming" drum
mer. Each and every season
she pours a large share Of her
abundant dollars into the treas
uries of the railroad compan-
les. So much so that her
friends believe that she must
have invested the major por-
ton of her large fortune in
railway securities and is trying
to boost the business Of the
companies. New York to Wash
ington and washington to New
York is her program, with in
tervals in which she purchases a
ticket for neither city but for
her former home in Oklahoma
where her father is one of the
leading men of the State. Mrs.
Mesta, born Pearl Skirvin, is
devoted to her father and sell
dom lets a season slip by with
out a visit or two with him in
Oklahoma.
Pittsburgh, Too
Moreover she still maintains
her connections in Pittsburgh.
from whence she first came to
Washington, and spends not a
few weeks Of the year visiting
friends in that city.
This year she has taken an
apartment in New York at the
Hotel Pierre. Formerly she was
accustomed to make her head
quarters at the Barclay. She
is at present at her recently
leased apartment putting things
in order for the coming season.
Once her arrangements are COM
pleted she plans to return to
Washington to open her house
here on Massachusetts, Avenue,
and, no doubt, before the
draperieS have had time to air
she will be off for New York,
Pittsburgh or Oklahoma.
Returning to Washington she
will be warmly congratulated
upon the success of her first
Newport season. During the
summer Mrs. MeSta enter.
tanned extensively and The
Rocks, leased for the season
from Mrs. Henry ClewS, was
the center of much Of the
gayety at the smart seaside
resort. Not the least notable
Of her successes this summer
was the feat of capturing the
Vice President, Charles Curtis,
for a weekend. No one in
Washington was particularly
surprised as Mrs. MeSta during
the winter is one Of Mr.. Cur
tiS'S favorite hoSteSSeS. But the
Newport colony was pleasantly
diverted at the novelty of a
Vice President and responded
enthusiastically to Mrs. Mesta'S
request that her distinguished
guest be accorded the honorS
due his position and person
atty.
Very Popular
Mr.. Curtis, in fact, made a
decided hit in Newport. His
genial personality went over"
in a big way and his hostess,
thereby, reaped much merit for
her bright idea Of introducing
him to the coloniStS.

RY I. C. ROYLE.

Bankers of the country apparently
have blinked themselves out of the
Nightmares which have been troubling
them for the last five months. At least,
"easy money" now Is more OF a reallty.
Banks are loaning more freely LOT IN
dustrial purposes. This Is renected IN
better sentiment throughout the eco
nomic structure.
Steel has resumed its advance, due 10
the seasonal demand. The passing OF
the $4,000. 900 mark for automobile
registration is encouraging the motor
producers, especially as the number OF
new cars registered in the last month
has shown a strong increase as COM
pared with February.
Construction Gains.
Construction Is picking UP. Public
works and industrial construction are
doing better and are, in fact, almost at
the same level as at this time in 1928
and 1929. The amount of residential
building, however, Is Disappointing.
There Is a demand coming up, however,
from industrial centerS where new IN
dustries and larger plants are sprlng1ng
up. This is specially true OF locatlons
near big aviation landing fields and air
ports, which have drawn workers IN
large numbers, who must be housed In
the neighborEood. =
Collections in both the wholesale and
retail fields are improving coincidentaiiy
with the growth of employment. This
is especially noted in the cities OF the
Midwest. The reported unemployment
has not had marked effect on the VOL
ume of savings bank deposits.
The garment industry Is showing It's
