The Washington times., 1937-11-13

In nearby Maryland. These
youngsters, Dale, the older, and
the daughter and her brother
Jackie, are both named after
their father. The reason being
that when the daughter was
born and a boy had really been
expected, she was called after
her father, anyway. Then when
the boy made his appearance,
naturally he had to carry the
family name on, so he was christ
ened Jack, also after his father.
MRS. HENRY Isl" SELLER,
W1 wife of Commander Seller.
who is now on duty in China, is
thinking that as long as she
cannot go to China she might,
perhaps, take a trip to Europe in
the spring, just for a change of
scenery if nothing else.

Major Frank Goettge, one
time famous football player of
the Marine Corps, is so busy
studying at school down at
Quantico that he rarely accepts
ar invitation to go anywhere.
Which is just too bad, because
both he and his pretty, pretty
wife are a tremendous asset to
any dinner or evening.
nOLLY CORBIN, daughter Of
~ Col. and Mrs. Clifford Cor
bin, who has just returned from
Honolulu (where her father is
stationed), to spend the winter
in Washington, as soon as she
and her mother can find a suit.
able place to live, is just as
pretty as ever.
Dolly expands no effort what
ever to be either charming or
lovely. She was born that way,
and she is naturally sweet and
gentle. All the time that the
CorbinS were abroad on duty
we would hear how Dolly was
the most feted, sought after girl
in Paris; how her frocks were
copied, her hats initiated. Then
she came back to Washington
where she was just as popular
as she had been in the French
capital.
However, nothing seems to
spoil her, and despite the atten-
tive young men who follow in
her train from here back to
yonder again, she is still not
definitely interested, so we hear,
in any one person.
Mrs. Clyde Hartsel, wife of
Major Hartsel, U. S. M. c., is
wearing a very smart suit these
chilly days. Fashioned Of rust
colored wool, and worn with a
gay black and red.Striped vestee,
a small matching rust hat, and
fashioned at the throat with a
cleaning pin of diamonds, the
entire ensemble is very effective.
MRS. w. W. ASHURST, wife
1VA Of Colonel AShurSt, of the
Marine Corps, is differing a bit
from the So-popular vogue which
insists on triple and double
strands Of pearls for wear with
everything this winter. Momen-
tarily, Mrs. Ashurst is wearing,
and with elegant simplicity,
one long string of pearls clasped
with a wide diamond buckle.
Mrs. Guy Clark, wife Of Com.
mander Clark, who gives the
most delightful suppers, with
the guest list small enough to
allow for conversation, and a
great deal of it, gave one of these
very same Suppers last week.
Mrs. Dallas Wainwright, wife
of Captain Dallas Wainwright,
U. S. NJ, has the most unique
watch. It is about the size of O.
quarter and is completely hidden
in the buckle of a wide leather
belt which goes with Swagger
sports frockS.
WHEN ONE comes to a strange
w town, the first thing that
happens is a wave of loneliness
and homesickness. However,
the wives of the officers in the
Army Air Corps don't have that
feeling very long after they get
to Washington. And one thing
that helps is the bridge club or
clubs, which are composed Of
nothing but these wives of Air
Corps officers.
Afternoons, which usually end
with tea and sandwiches, or
sometin i start with luncheon,
Just as the spirit moves the
hostess. are the order of the
day once a month, and they are
very nice for newcomers and
everyone concerned. This Tues
day Mrs. William Ryan, wife Of
the commanding officer Of Boil
ing Field, is having one Of these
clubs at her quarters.

Mrs. Consuelo Seone has just
returned from a trip to New
York and a veritable whirl Of
good times, with the theaterS
coming first. She couldn't re-
