 With Fondness for Outdoor Life

Washington, Aug. 21 (P1Serenely continuing to choose her own closest companions. Mrs. Herbert Hoover has coordinated personal interests and public life in a manner unique in White House history.
 Ever since her arrival in the executive mansion, there have been, beneath it's hospitable roof, one or more continuing women guests. These have been kindred spirits who come to call-and stay for weeks or months-helping Lou Hen " Hoover be herself, as we'll as the wife of the president.
 They have been principally from Palo Alto-California versed in cut of door living members If a Stanford university coterio which has combined college culture with rambles in the redwoods. They have known their girl scout lore.
 Two sons has Mrs. Hoover-but no daughters. For years her very genuine love for girls has found ex- pression in sponsorship of the Girl Scout movement. She has actively engaged in the Girl Scout mode of living-hiking, horseback riding, ex- ploring mountain trails. This she has been able to continue since her advent in the White House through cooperation of these chosen comrades of hers.
 Shares Adventures
 At present, Mrs. Dare Stark Nc Mullin is the White House guest whose name is most in the news with Mrs, Hoovers. Expert at mountain auto- driving, she shares with Mrs. Hoover the adventures of actually having hands on the wheel in the long drives about the Rapi- dan camp. White House chaufeurs and secret service men usually trail in another car.
 Throughout Girl Scoutdom, Dare Stark McMullin is known as Vaal Stark's sister-and sharer with Naal Stark in the traditions of her most unusual girl camp at Chaparral. Cal lfornla. There's never any rain in camping season at Chaparral, and not even a tent-top ever appears to separate campers and the skies.
 Mrs. Hoover in her Palo Alto home. the only one of her dwelling places planned to suit her tvn taste in all respects, followed the Vaal Stark plan Of roofess rooms on the upper floor of it's Spanish wing. The Rapidan camp she also designed for the utmost in outdoor living
 Most of last winter, and far into the spring, Miss Susan Dyer, also ot Palo Alto, was a guest at the White House. Miss Dyer, active as a Girl Scout executive on the west coast spent several weeks at national head quarters in New York. She came tc Washington for brief visit on hei way home-and remained to share
