The Washington times., 1937-10-16

A gorgeous trophy ana one
which Is to be awarded to the
winner of the international
Military Team Jumping Event.
Gerard Walravens, Second Sec
retary Of the Belgium Embassy,
was on hand to welcome his
countrymen and one little, alert
woman, who told us she was a
Belgian, arrived too late tc see
anything, and asked us, Where
are they?" THE officers, you
mean?" we questioned. mo-"
she answered, "I mean the
horses, I really want to see
them"
COLONEL AND MRS. WILL
" LIAM o. RYAN Che IS the
Commandant Of Boiling Field
have just been joined at their
quarters b Mrs. Ryan's d&ugh'
ter, Mary A. Allison. Miss
Allison, who is just as attrac-
tive as her mother, with the
same inky black hair and big,
black eyes, has been on q trip
around the world and exciting
enough found herself in China
at the beginning Of hostilities
between Japan and China.
One of the incest parties of
the year will be given Boil
ing Field by the officers and
their wives on the 23d Of this
month. The party will be cos
tune affair and will have more
or less Of the Halloween atmos-
phere in regarl to decorations
and background.
A DMIRAL and Mrs. Henry FL
IA lis Lackey, q. S. NJ, are leav-
ing Washington shortly for Eu-
rope where the Admiral will take
over the command Of the Medi-
terranean station and relieve
Admiral Arthur Fairchild, who
will return to Washington to
take up his new duties, a. a
member of the General Board
of the Navy. Admiral Lackey,
despite all Of his journeying over
the world, is considered very
much a part Of washington. He
was a student at the Potomac
Academy in Alexandria, before
he entered the Naval Academy,
has spent a goodly portion of
duty here and married, in 1901,
Miss Katherine Peck, daughter
of Commodore Robert q. Peck,
with the wedding taking place
at historic Evermay, in George
town.
Admiral and Mrs. Lackey are
sailing on the Excambion and
will dock at Marseilles and their
small granddaughter, Nancy
Putnam, will accompany them
and will enter a boarding school
in Switzerland. Also, the Ad-
miral is taking as his flag lieu
tenant, Lieut.. Alfred Bolton,
formerly a White House aide,
but at the moment is stationed
in Naval Intelligence. Not only
is this q very nice post for
Lieutenant Bolton, but for him
to be with Admiral Lackey, once
more, is very much like going
home, for Lieutenant Bolton
was the Admiral's aide at the
time when Admilal Lackey was
in command Of the Cruiser Di-
vision.
MRS. GUY HARTMAN, wife
W1 of Captain Hartman, o. s.
A., now stationed at Fort Ben
ming, in Georgia, is a very in
tereSting visitor in town as the
guest of Mrs. Harold Grant, at
her quarters at Boiling Field.
Mrs. Hartman, as everyone
knows, was the former Mary
Fletcher, niece Of the late Sena-
tor Duncan Fletcher, Of Florida,
and Is a stunning, dark-haired
person with a great flair for
smart clothes and the ability to
wear them exceedingly well.
Just before Mrs. Hartman came
to Washington she had "done"
New York in the interesting
manner with an old friend Of
hers, none other than Margaret
Mitchell, author Of "Gone With
the Wind"
Mrs. Hartman's house in
Georgia is, so we are informed,
delightful old Southern resi-
dence, with all the flavor and
real lovelineSs that those rare
old places do have, and her fur
nishings, which she has collected
carefully and happily from all
over, correspond and blend eX-
actly with the antebellum at.
mosphere of her place.
GENERAL AND MRS. FRED
" SLADEN, U. s. A., and their
very attractive daughter, Betsy,
have come back to town from a
summer spent in New Jersey and
are staying at the Chevy Chase
Club, as always, for the winter
season.
HOL. AND MRS. CHARLES
" DRAVO (she has the most
gorgeous reddish gold hair) are
also another very popular couple
who have returned to Washing
ton. The colonel was formerly
commanding officer at Fort
Moultrie, in South Carolina. and
is now adjutant general Of the
National GI1nrd AZ &ha TickH.iNt
