Host Brings
Home Wild
Turkey
By Flora Macdonald

Glenview F a + m,
which sits serenely
nestled in a Maryland hill
side not far from Rockville,
at all seasons of the year en-
Joys an unrivalled view of
the surrounding countryside.
Now, for instance, when we
are between the colorful foll-
age of autumn and the snow
scenes of winter, one might
imagine that the outlook
from the interesting resi-
dence of DR.. and Mrs. James
Alexander Lyon might be
rather drab. On the con-
trary, the neat rows of box
wood which have been
planted with such considera-
ton for effective landscap-
ing, the holly bushes, and
the evergreens maintain a
verdancy which is pleasing
to the eye.
Yesterday DR.. Lyon sat
down to his luncheon table
in the company of a few con-
genial friends and-with due
pride-awaited the arrival of
the piece de resistance.
Hunting Rendezvous
It seems that a group of
members of the Woodmont

duck, and wild turkey. Quail

later. DR.. Lyon promised
his charming wife that with
his return yesterday morning
she would find herself pos
sessed of game to last through
the holiday week, and so
with her usual thoughtful
ness she arranged for friends
to be with them to enjoy the
feast.
