expected in New York on Oc-
tober 10 and we know one par
ticular gentleman who will be
on hand to welcome her home.
Following a two months So
journ in Germany, Mr.. Fred
Morris Dearing, our able Am
bassador at Lima, is a visitor
in Washington. He will sail
shortly to return to Peru.
Having spent six whole weeks
in a thoroughly restful atmos-
phere, the George Bowie Chip
mans returned to town a short
while ago feeling very fit and
ready for a gay season. They
spent their time in a quaint
little place named Bad Nau-
helm, in Germany. This pictur-
esque town is noted for its
healthful baths-but more i'm
portant to Mrs. Chapman were
the magnificent trees and the
riotous array of flowers. Of
just what species, she could not
say-but they are truly beauti-
full. AS for the people, they
were a peaceful, happy sort.
Another intriguing fact was
their means of transportation
horse-drawn carts and carriages
very few autos.
They have been in the midst
of quite a social whirl since re-
turning, as their son, Mr.. Nor
ris Chapman, accompanied by
his wife, is leaving about the
18th for Moscow, Russia. He
has been assigned the position
of First Secretary of the United
States Embassy in Russia and
consequently there have been
many farewell parties.

Comdr. William J. Carson, U.S.N.,
retired, in Miami, Fla. Her sisters.
Miss Virginia Carson and Miss
Dorothy Carson, are with their
father in Florida and plan to spend

will go to their summer home,
Camp Shady Rest, Samsonville,
N. Y.

The Washington times., 1936-10-01

The very charming wife of
our Ambassador to the Court
of St. James, Mrs. Robert
Worth Bingham, has arrived
in New York aboard the
Berengaria and it is hoped
she will pay the Capital a
visit. One of her pet interests
is "Stratford,' the home Of
Robert E. Lee, and not long
ago she presented a portrait
to be displayed there. More
than likely she will motor
down to Virginia, either be-
fore or after a sojourn in her
Kentucky home.
The Attorney General and
Mrs. Cummings stopped in at
Ell Patio of the Carlton after
the theater Monday evening
and with their party of friends
had quite a discussion of Max
Gordon's ''St. Helena"
Due to dock at 9 a. m. today,
the Manhattan carried two very
popular Washingtonians from
Europe. They are the AS
sistant Secretary of State and
Mrs. Wilbur J. Carr, who have
been travelling abroad for
little over two months. They
will be warmly welcomed home
and are expected to come di-
rectly to their Wyoming Ave
nue. residence.
The many friends Of Mrs.
Daniel C. Roper, wife of the
Secretary of Commerce, will be
sorry to hear that she was called
to North Carolina to be with
her brother, Mr.. William N.
Mckenzie, who has been seri-
ously i'll.
The Camerons are coming !!
At least they have closed
Little Clifton Berley," their
Newport residence, and are
stopping off in New York city
for a few days. The very at
tractive Mrs. Duncan Cameron
and her daughter, Elsie How
land Quinby, usually make a
series of visits en- route from
their summer home to their
Massachusetts, Avenue resi-
dence, so it may be the middle
of the month before they ar
rive here.
Newlyweds who have re-
Gently arrived in New York
and who will come South
shortly are Mr.. and Mrs. Philip
Theodore Petley. Mrs. Petley
is the former Judith Gilmor,
daughter of our Military At
tache at the Embassy in War
saw, Poland, and Mr.. Petley, an
Englishman, is honorable at
tache at Prague. He is the son
Of B. T. Petley and the late
Mrs. Petley, of Harrington,
Beckenham, Kent, England.
The Petleys are at present
visiting her uncle, Mr.. Robert
Gilmor, in New York,
This seems to be the day for
chronicling arrivals. We just
heard that Mrs. Wilkinson
Bunker, who has been in Europe
since the middle of August, is
