The Washington times., 1937-10-02


youngsters, now in residence at
Fort Myer, are, very definitely,
riding family, and perhaps
the credit for the superb horse
manShip of the four youngsters
should go to small, clever
and gentle horse owned by Cap
tain Donaldson. A horse, not
at all incidentally. which has
won prizes in every class, from
hunter to hack and back again,
and which was the first mount
of every Donaldson child, from
the time they were able to sit
a saddle.
The Donaldsons are, both,
from Army families, Mrs. Don
aldson being the former Miss
Rumbough, the younger sister
of three brothers two of whom
married the Colgate heiress,
and one brother, still unmar-
ried and, we believe in the Army.
Captain Donaldson is the son
of the late Gen. T. Q. Donald
son and Mrs. Donaldson, whose
big house on Massachusetts,
Avenue was one of the most
hospitable in town, during their
station here.
TOL. AND MRS. H. B. LEWIS
~ are just back in town, from
q brief stay out at the Cleveland
Exposition, with Mrs. Lewis still
of the firm belief that the two
of them spent most of their
spare time getting there and
coming back, instead of seeing
quite everything she wanted to
see. Colonel Lewis, whose duties
here in the War Department.
took him out to the Exposition.
is the son of Gen. M. Lewis, who
is much too well known to need
an introduction here, and his
sparkling wife is the former
Lalla Anderson, daughter of Col.
and Mrs. Robert Anderson.
The Lewises are popular, en-
PERTAINING and witty, and with
their darkly lovely daughter,
Frances, who just departed for
William and Mary College and
some serious studying, make
an especially nice threesome.
Colonel Lewis has, like prac-
tically every other man in the
Army or Navy, a nickname,
Monk" and is known by it
from here to China and other
far parts.
MRS. FRANK L. WHIT
WI TAKER, wife of Major
Whitaker, has deep sense of
humor which matches nicely
with that of her so nice hus-
band, so when the prizes were
awarded in a not so long ago
golf tournament and Mrs. Whit
taker received one of the top
awards, she INDUCED in nice
big giggle. For-the prize pre-
sented to her was a most ex-
quisite crystal decanter and
the strongest thing Mrs. Whit
taker ever drank in her entire
life was lemonade!
MRS. JOHN GREELY. wife of
IVA Colonel Greedy (you know
Colonel Greedy is the son of the
late and very beloved General
Adolphus Greely) arrived in
town from her place in Maine,
for the express purpose of hav-
ing some important dental work
done, before she went on to San
Antonio, Texas, to join the
Colonel. Well, she was immedi-
ately swamped with invitations
to lunch, dinners and teas and
because she loves washington
and Washington adores her. she
accepted all of them and went
blithely off to Texas without one
single reminder of her dental
work, except a list of broken ap-
pointments with her dentist.
HENRY C. ROWLAND. JR.,
III goodlooking son of Mrs.
Henry Rowland, is evidently not
going to follow in the footsteps
of his father, the late Henry c.
Rowland, we'll known author
and novelist. For. Henry land
he is also a Yale graduate) has
just passed, and with flying COL
ors, the extremely stiff exams
of the Corps of Engineers and
is now stationed Fort du Pont,
in Delaware.
MRS. GARRET L. SCHUY-
WI LER, wife of Capt. Schuy-
Ter, U. S. NJ, better known to her
friends as Bee" and one Of the
smarteSt groomed women In
this town, has that rare quality
of home making that makes
any place she might be in, the
last word in comfort, attractive
ness and charm. AT the moment
the SchuylerS are living in a
house in Georgetown that is
supreme in quaintnesS.
The house is perhaps as old
as Georgetown and boasts gar
den that is walled, extremely
private and as delightfully."- prim
as an old French print the
present drawing room was once
the kitchen and mellow red
brick floors, attest to it, while
soft, jade green hangings. with

deeply cushioned chairs and
touches. a cheerfully burning
fire and the most restful quiet
