"Aunt Bessie"
Goes a'ShopPing

"Aunt Bessie" or Mrs. D.
Buchanan Merryman, as she is
known to her Capital friends, is
definitely travel-minded!
And, of course, we are all
agog over the idea that she
might be sailing very shortly
for the other sid of the big

nutely examining the newest
pieces, Mrs. Merryman wore for
shopping a two-piece Oxford
gray wooden suit, made with a
three-quarter length coat and a
pearl gray crepe blouse. Her
hat of felt was a tiny brimmed
affair.
There's one lady in town to-
day who is wishing that she
might be quintuplets. Mrs.
Royal McKenna, all enthused
about garden tours, plans to
visit the Georgetown houses
open today, then she would like
to be at the Warrenton Gold
Cup Race and there are a few
Maryland and Virginia estates
she'd like to be visiting and the
Kennel Club Show at Meadow
brook, would be fun.
Perhaps the reason that she
is so enthusiastic about gardens
is the fact that for the past few
days she has been visiting her
sister, Mrs. Edgar Edmonston,
at the latter's home in Balti-
more, and Mrs. Edmonston
knows everything about his
toric homes and gardens in
Maryland.
Mr.. and Mrs. McKenna, ac-
companied by their sub-deb
daughter, Joan, will be motor
ing North early in June to at
tend the graduation from Vas
sar of their daughter, "Bambie"
on the seventh of the month.
They will return to Wash
ington following the ceremo-
MES mainly because the girls
and boys have so much fun out
at the Chevy Chase Club in the
early Summer playing tennis
and swimming.

Taken Back To Bed
The United Press was informed
that the Pope was wheeled back to
his bedroom from the salon Of his
apartment shortly after noon and
the bamboo bridges used earlier in
his illness again were erected in the
bed to keep the sheets from his legs.
1t was stated that the Pope's suf-
fering is so great he remained with
his eyes shut all afternoon, breath
ing his rosary prayers.
1t was understood that Milani,
who hitherto used camphorated oil
injections occasionally to induce
sleep, Is now confronted with addi-
tional difficulty because the Pontiff
refuses to receive the needle.
His heart, however, was described
as remaining remarkably strong.
