Helen Essary way - even
the journey home. Every few
hundred yards we had to change
our straight course from the
path of the sandpipers at the
edge of the breakers and walk
around a fisherman waiting
hopefully for a big trout to tug
at his line.
In the garden patches in the
woods, zinnias, phlox and
gladioli are blooming with au-
tumn intensity. The round
harvest moon shines through
the tall pines, and turns the
little waves running up on the
shore into ripples OF bright
silver.
With the suggestion of fall
(and since there is no sun
burn to worry about, and very
few mosquitoes, owing to the
success of the mosquito EXTERN
mating activities of Mr.. Will
bur Corkran and his crew of
three hundred Civilian Con-
servation Workers. the summer
colony has turned its attention
to events arranged by the Viii
lage Improvement Association.
Judge Edward Goodrich, of
the District of Columbia Court
of Tax Appeals, gave an enter
tanning talk on Wednesday on
income taxes of movie stars.
Judge Goodrich was noticeably
frivolous when he discoursed on
so light a subject.
Often the judge tolls earnestly
in the study he has arranged
In the cellar of his cottage on
the intricacies of the income tax
of serious citizens. He is one OF
the most popular people in Re-
hoboth.
We were looking about Judge
Goodrich's audience for Libby
Holman. Libby frequently stays
at the beach, at the Carpenter
cottage. Mrs. Carpenter is a
du Pont. We though Libby
might be interested in incomes
and taxes, too. Speaking of the
Carpenter cottage reminds me
of a good story.
The Carpenter cottage is that
big rambling brown one at the
far end of the beach. It looks
like a country club and has a
bar and everything. Certainly
two thirsty gentlemen thought
it was a club the night of the
housewarming. They stepped
firmly indoors, up to the bar,
and said:
1.-TWO highballs, please, Scotch.
And make 'em strong"
One of the householders was
near by. He realized the situa-
ton, thought it too good to spoil
and signed to the man behind
the bar to serve the order. The
thirsty gentlemen, less thirsty
then, asked for two more drinks.
Drank them down contentedly,
and much soothed, threw down
the usual price of their drinks
plus a good tip and departed.
Returning to Judge Good
rich-he has a very pretty wife
and three young children. Some
times the Judge and two of his
brood organize a gall bame on
the beach. The players are
likely to be young Edgar Proch-
mix Chis father is the Austrian
Minister). Patricia Prochnik,
two young Sokoloskis Gather
is the Counselor of the Polish
Embassy, the young Harrises
(relatives of Sally, Frances
Reeves daughter of the L. L.
Reeves, who have a cottage
here until the last of Septem-
ber), young Harold Hinton, and
Peggy and Elene Essary-when
they aren't diving through the
highest waves and terrifying
their mother (She, poor dear,
is like a hen who has Matched
out ducks).
Madame Echegaray, the ex
tremely handsome Russian wife
of the Secretary of the Span
ish Embassy, has a new bull
dog. He came to live with her
unlimited. Madame Echegaray
tried to find hi owner. She
went out and politely asked
the neighbors if the dog was
theirs. 1t was not. So Ma
dame Echegaray has adopted it
She says he understands Rus
sian perfectly. He's probably
an emigre from the Soviet
Government.
Let me see-what else are
they talking about on the beach
The Henri de Sibours have
taken a cottage here until the
end of the season. Myror
Parker was here for a visit
with the Britton Browns re
Gently. Henry Berliner is back
from foreign parts, and with
his pretty wife is going to have
a beach party tonight.
