He had to select q gift for
his very, very new godson and.
not having the vaguest idea
what to get him, left the entire
situation to the salesgirl. She
suggested a pair Of silver mill
tary brushes for the godson.
Major Kennedy debated. But
do they use these things on in
fants?" he asked, a bit timidly.
Mercy, yes" replied the sales
girl, "they begin to curry these
youngsters at a very early age
nowadays" Major Kennedy
bought the brushesl
THE Navy Supply Corps gave
Il a gay and gala dinner last
Tuesday at the Army and Navy
Country Club and also q golf
tournament. The trophy for
this tournament was the Pay
master Generals Cup, q gor-
geous thing, which Lieut.. Charles
G. Count" De Kay won, with
a handicap of 20.
The dinner, SO we hear, was
very clever, as concerned the
entertainment. Capt. Cecil 8.
Baker was POSTMASTER and he
is very witty and later there
was q takeoff on a radio Skit
of Snow White and the Seven
DwarfS, which was toe. too
funny. Comdr. w. Brent Young
was in charge of this part Of
the entertainment and it seems
that this particular Skit gave
the junior officers an oppor-
tunity to give their senior Off
GERS a nice, neat ribbing.
Capt. Henry Mel was the
dwarf 'Dopey, Comdr. Arthur
Mayo was Grumpy" Capt. John
Hatch was Snoopy" Capt. H.
B. Randall was the dwarf
Happy" and Admiral Charles
Conard was DOC" Happily
enough at this dinner were Ad-
miral c. j. Peoples and Rear Ad-
miral ]. J. Cheatham, who were
one time paymasters in the
Naval Supply Corps.

sometime in July in the Cana
dian wilds and now, as a kind OF
practice course they are leav-
ing today for a week end Of in.
tensive fishing in nearby Mary

MRS. JOSEPH FEGAN, attrac'
W1 tive wife of Col. Joseph
Fegan, u. S. M. c., has the most
enchanting collection Of Dres-
den figurines which have come
from all parts Of the world.
Each friend Of Mrs. Fegan's who
goes jaunting to far away places
knows exactly what to bring
back-a Dresden figure. At the
moment, these figurines are
grouped on a large table in the
Fegan drawing room and are in.
variably the center Of attention
at any gathering at the Fegan
house.
TOL. CALVIN MATTHEWS,
" is convinced that Lady
Luck" has deserted him-at
least for the last week. It is a
custom among a group Of Colo
mel Matthews friends for all
of them to meet Saturday at
the Army, Navy Club. to have
luncheon and then match coins
for the check. About last Satur-
day. we believe it was, the usual
group gathered, several things
were ordered and coins matched
Colonel Matthews lost-con-
siStently.
Finally, when dessert was be-
ing ordered, Colonel Matthews,
lust shook his head, "Go ahead" :"
he instructed his friends and fel-
low officers, ST have already
signed the check in full, it's no
use, exerting ourselves match
ing coins, when I know full well
who is going to pay" He was
absolutely correct!
