There is a possibility that Mrs.
Peter A. Jay will come to Wash
ington for the winter months to
be at her residence at 1915 @
Street. It is on the market either
to lease or sell. Should it be sold
many valuable carpets, portieres
and drapeS and numerous pieces Of
furniture would be included. Mrs.
Jay has recently returned from a
holiday in Europe and since she
made her home in New York last
winter, it will be good news to
her many friends in the Capital
that she is considering returning
to Washington for the coming
season.
At Country Home
The Breckenridge Long home. ..
he is our former Ambassador to
Italy, having recently retired, and
is now with Mrs. Long and their
daughter, Christine, at their coun-
try home in Maryland. which is
located at Sixteenth and Park
Road would be ideal for a diplo-
matte residence. It has approx
mately Is rooms and is renowned
for the beautiful crystal chan
delierS which adorn the various
rooms.
Several years ago Alexander c.
Kirk purchased what had been the
old Dumbarton Club at the corner
of Wisconsin Avenue and r Street
in Georgetown. After extensive al
terationS to the place, beautiful
landscaping and construction of a
swimming pool, Mr.. Kirk was sent
to oe the counselor Of our embassy
in Rome and there he has re-
mained through the years, the
lovely home in the meantime un-
occupied. He now has put it on
the market and many would re-
joice to see it occupied and team
ing with life. for it is the perfect
place in which a large family
could entertain on a lavish scale.
It boasts a moonlight dancing ter
race which commands a view of
the Capital.
Back From Europe
Then there is the Villa Rosa,
Mrs. William Bailey Lamar's resi-
dence, out Massachusetts, Avenue
way, opposite Mrs. Charles Carroll
Glover'S estate, "WeStover." It is
Of Italian architecture, in pale
yellow stucco and has beautiful
Shrubbery surrounding it. Mrs.
Lamar and her good friend, Mrs.
Wilton j. Lambert-incidentally
the latter's home at Vermont Ave
nue. and L has a prominent "For
Sale" sign on it-have recently re-
turned from a summer in Europe
and are now in Atlantic City. Mrs.
Lambert will return to Washing
ton the middle of this week. Mrs.
Lamar now makes her home in
Atlanta but is frequent visitor in
the Capital.

of the United States and
stayed ENTIRELY too short a
time in Washington. ,
It's a pleasure to see a
father and daughter entirely
happy in one another's COM
pany and such was the case
Saturday evening when We
spied the former Assistant
Postmaster General, Mr.. W.
Irving Glover and his daugh-
ter, Frances, dining at one of
the popular night spots. Fran
ces, a deb Of a season ago, has
much poise, her complexion is
like peaches and cream" and
she wore a light tan frock with
a Peter Pan collar.
One gay dinner party at the
Shoreham Saturday evening
had in it's company DR.. and
Mrs. Robert Moran, and when
we say her gown matched her
hair we are coming pretty
close. It, the gown, was of
honey-colored satin, made on
Grecian lines, and was most
becoming to the former Joce-
lyn Beard, whose crowning
glory is a mass of soft blond
curls. Others in the party
were Mr.. and Mrs. Abner
Drury, her black gown enliv-
ened with a cluster of flame
colored flowers at the V neck
line, and her sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Moran Kyle, in black
velvet. Mrs. Kyle, instead of
wearing the gardenias corsage
she found at her place at the
table, distributed each bloom
to the gentlemen surrounding
her.
We suppose the British do
form rather interesting opin-
ions of "We Americans"-that
is, if we are judged by our
movies of Gangster Molls and
such. Here is an instance that
proves it! Charles Blakely,
one-time Washingtonian, W a S
having tea with Lady Astor
and the guests included a num-
ber of other middies. He was
talking to a very charming
British girl in his most polite
manner and after listening in
tently to his conversation for
some minutes she said:
"You know, I am terribly
disappointed-you are not
not nearly as rough and
tough as I had anticipated!
Attractive blond Annabelle
Essary, cocktailing wit h a

Mrs. John Rutherfor d,
young, pretty and blond, is a
familiar figure at Palm Beach,
Montauk Point, Lake George,
wherever speed boats are raced.
She and her husband, the win
ner yesterday Of the Gold Cup
Race, are thoroughgoing sports
men and together they prepare
for weeks and months for one
great chance, and share fully
all the risks and thrills of the
sport. Although she was not
in Ma-ja II when it beat Notre
Dame in the finals, she has
frequently acted as her hus-
bands mechanic in past Gold
Cup races. She has been fond
of tinkering with speed boats
since she was a child living on
the Eastern shore of Maryland,
where her father, I. j. Hughes,
has a fleet of boats.
She piloted the Imp II to
victory in Glass E and Glass H
events.
She is the possessor Of four
or five cups won in President s
Cup regattas. There was no
fun in winning these cups
when the races were walk
aways, as was the case in
these previous contests. She
sighed for sitter competition,
for so few men who had speed
boats would encourage their
wives to train for the races.
It annoyed her because the
men did not take the Ladies
Free for All" seriously. Know
ing her attitude, they tried to
make it more interesting for
her this year by giving her a
stiff handicap. However, she
was doomed to disappointment
this year, as she lost.
Now that she has been
beaten she can look forward to
beating her opponent next
year, when victory will mean
something. She hopes more
women will take up her hobby.
This year several Washington
women took part in the Ladies
Free For ALP besides the win
ner. Mrs. Andrew Crawford,
who drove her husbands boat
"Zippy." Mrs. James P. Orme
lashed "Wooden Horse" to-
wards the finish line.
Mrs. Samuel Scrivener, the
daughter of Commodore Baltz,
took second place. Also en-
tered were Mrs. Florence Parr,
Miss Aline Fox and Miss
Mollie Carson.

WASHINGTON wouldn't take a great
deal of pushing, under ordinary circumstances,

But there isn't the slightest indication that
the opposition has what it takes.

Their nerves were considerably Soothed.
however. as soon as they were able to pounce on
an advance copy OF Senator Borah's radio
speech and be assured that Borah wasn't max
ing a personal attack on the Kansas governor.
The only weaknesses of the Landon position
under the anticipated conditions at Cleveland
weaknesses which won't be fatal unless there's
an unexpected eXplosion-are that his hackers
must depend on a bandwagon nomination, be-
cause the Kansan has far from a majority OF
instructed delegates, and that many pro-Landon
delegates are but loosely tied to his banner.
Only now seemingly impossible combina
tion. however, can stop the governor. 1t would
have to include Hoover Borah, and Boss Charlie
Hilles of New York Those three dislike one

Other Editors Say
FACTS DANISH FEARS
ISPInna Irrigatnrl

The financial pages of the daily newspapers
constitute the most convincing evidence of re-
turning prosperity. They form the best answer
to Mr.. Hoover and other critics OF the admin
istration who are trying to frighten the Ameri-
can people with bedtime stories and national
bankruptcy.
From the daily news summaries published
by the New York Times let us quote some facts
that speak louder than words

Similar quotations could be listed almost
indefinitely Those dealing with the routine
news of the financial world are also lacking in
unfavorable reports. To those who say that
business has improved lin spite of the New Deal"
we say that the fact OF business recovery being
undeniable, it must also be admitted that it
happened during a Democratic administration,
contrary to the much-tCuted theory that the
Republican Party has prior right to prosperity
and progress.

The Coordinating Council has served
many worthwhile causes since its organ
zation here, but among the greatest of
these is that for consideration of methods
whereby the children of Ell Centro may be
brought under a system of supervised
play during those months when there is
no school to keep them busy, and little
to occupy their restless minds. With the
women's clubs, parents and teachers, and
members of the city council, plans will
be considered for utilizing equipment at
the city park in the tentative program. 1t
could be put to no better use.
The percentage Of juvenile Delinquent
cy decreases proportionately in any COM
munity as children are given wholesome,
healthy amusements to occupy them.
Children must have something to do,
their vitality will not permit idleness.
Healthy amusement under adult supervl-

munity than unsupervised mischief.
