worth, in a tomato-colored
blouse and a hat with gaily
bobbing cherries, was as gay as
the Spring blossoms. Mrs. Car
ley was wearing the best-look-
ing brown tweed tailored suit
we've seen, a smart knitted
ascot at her throat, and one of
the new straw berets in warm
tan.
The two were having just the
jolly time that old friends do
when they get together for q
good chat.

Old Places Hold Fatal Fascination

AS the visitor goes in the swing
ing gate and up the bricked walk
bordered by VioletS, there is the
feeling of time being turned back
to yesteryearS. Inside, the long
hall leads straight on through and
out into the garden at the back.
From the front door there is an
enchanting vista, framed with the
mysterious shadows of the interior
and showing the two arched gate
ways, beyond the criss-cross walk.
the pond, dogwood trees and the
simply laid-out flower BEDS
Bits Of Art
Throughout the entire old place,
which still has it's stable, slave
quarters and smokehouse. there
are the original wide board floors,
six-panel doors and stately carved
mantels. Along with the colonial
furnishings the little owner has
artistically scattered a few pieces
of Oriental art. such as embroid-
cries, brasseS and bits of carving.
In the dining room there are
handsome buffets and highboys,
that doubtless were witnesses to
the visit Lafayette paid to the
CoXes and the famous dinner in
his honor. Six hundred reed birds
were served at the dinner and, as
the story goes, % of them were
eaten by the honor guest.
Many interesting people have
lived at 1887 N St. At one time it
was an art school and numbered
among it's students John Barry
more, then attending Georgetown
University.
The house from the street looks
to be no more than average size,
but when inside one realizes that
it is fairly large. On the top floor
there is a huge ballroom that has
served as classroom as well as a
scene for debut parties and balls
Of long ago.
Intriguing Stories
No old place is quite complete
without its ghost or creepy stories,
and this one is up to the standard.
On one Of the window panes are
scratched the two names, "Sallie"
and "Dan"-they were two young
persons engaged to be married. On
their wedding eve the bride died
suddenly and her fiance, overcome
with grief. flung himself into the
Potomac.
Then there is the tunnel which
leads from the garden down to
the water front, and which was
discovered only a short time ago.
Many are the tales of runaway
slaves using it. or of smugglers
cunningly hiding contraband in
the dirt walls to be dug out later,
or Of gentlemen on secret missions
attending meetings in the house
and later making their quiet get
awayS down to the water and
waiting ships.
Mrs. Mccain. who has made her
home here off and on, will remain

chatted with Mrs. Marvin Nc
Intyre and she said that her
daughter, Marie, and son-in-

time in the Spring. Then
Saturday morning it was that
we saw them shortly after
their arrival in town. Marie is
as pretty as ever and looks ex-
tremely we'll. She was wearing
a green coat trimmed with
chinchilla and matching access

corsage of violets.

Of invasion by a foreign foe, Ad-
miral William H. STANDBY, chief
Of naval operations, told the So
ciety of Sons of the American Rev

Standby said the Navy is fully
capable of stopping a foreign in
vader, but that patriotic citizens
must defend the nation from the
enemies within"
A world "neurotic with anxi-
ETY." and filled with "embittered
feelings and ambitions" Standby
declared last night, makes it more
vital than at any time in the past
for the United States to main
tain an "alert awareness." He
said:
1--WE can estimate our OppOn-
ent in the foreign field, we can
study his detectives and meas
ure his strength and resources
by . fairly accurate yardstick.
1.-THE same is not true of the
enemy within our gates. These
SapperS at the foundations of
our state do not fight in the
open. Theirs is the weapon of
stealth. They seek to poison
the minds and the hearts of
men. BY oblique argument and
duplicity, by deceit and chican-
cry, they seek to convert the
unwary to their tainted, un-
wholesome purposes"

a crimp in the rose production for
this summer. 1t will be the lucky
gardner who has the customary

Frank Wallace, state entomol-

bushes to clip them all back to the
live wood. That means there will
be only isolated, if any, rose blooms
this summer.
There will be some production on
hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas,
but not nearly as many as usual,
he says. It's time now to start
trimming, he said.

Women were told today by Miss
Grace Frysinger, senior home econ
omist of the central division of
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
1.-THE term modern women is q
fallacy. Women are the same as
they always have been. They have
not changed fundamentally, but the
world has during the past century.
Women are adapting themselves to
the procedure" Miss Frysinger ex-
planned.
"Women's contributions through
the ages have been different" she
said. Women have created the
peaceful arts-phySical care, educa-
ton, social and spiritual develop
ment of family life Women must
enlarge thinking beyond the home
to larger areas, for what is basical-
ly good for the family is good for
the group. Women must extoll vir-
tue ard satisfaction of family life
and not stress its problems"
At the morning session, DR.
George G. Reeves, professor of
philosophy at Butler University, ex-
planned the purpose of the Citizens
Fraternity. He is one of the found
ers of the group, composed of North
Side residents. 1t was organized
within the last two months and has
taken over the old University Park
Christian Church for community
center. With the aid of government
funds, the new organization has
added stage for amateur the
atricals.
According to DR.. Reeves, it ex-
poets to make it a cultural and
recreation outlet for North Side citi-
zens. DR.. Reeves said it is the hope
of the organization to establish
scholarships, offer vocational oppor-
tunities for young people and estab-
lish an employment office and a
credit union.
