ADMIRAL AND MRS. FREY
"A Err (you remember their
daughter is the very attractive
Engracia Freye) are due in
Washington shortly for a visit,
coming on from the West coast.
Lieut.. Comdr and Mrs. Ralph
Mcdowell are sending out invi-
tationS for a dinner party for
the evening of June 81 at the
Army-Navy Country Club.
y
Admiral and Mrs. Donald
Bingham are also planning a
party-a tea, we believe-With
the date scheduled for June Z.
THE Army, Navy Country
l. Club, which is always popu-
lar, and especially so in the
summer with its glorious, cool
roof for dancing, is going to go
through many alterations, I'M
less certain plans are changed.
The sun porch, which is directly
off the lounge room, is to be
greatly enlarged so as to make
more room, not only for the win
ter dancing, but for dining also.
There is also much speculation
to do with extending the roof.
However, we wouldn't know
about that.
T IEUT. AND MRS. FRED
II ERICK COLEMAN, who are
here visiting wit h Lieutenant
Coleman's parents, Gen. and
Mrs. Frederick Coleman. are
coming into their share of par
ties, given in their honor. Lieu
tenant Coleman is remembered
here most pleasantly and he was
one Of the very popular White
House aides during his tour OF
duty in Washington.
This visit is the first time that
his friends have had an oppor-
tunity to meet his attractive
wife, for you doubtless remem-
Der that Lieutenant and Mrs.
Coleman were married in Cali
fornia, the native State of Mrs.
Coleman. The Walter WatSons
are planning a small dinner for
Lieutenant and Mrs. Coleman,
but up until now no date has
been set for the party because
Of the many engagements Of the
young Colemans.

CONSTANCE CONNIE" GRAY
" daughter of the Jack Grays
of Edgemoor, has just received
her Navy miniature (ring to us
civilians) from First ClaSsman
Edward Peed, of the Naval Acad-
envy. OF course, the giving of
these cherished miniatures uSu-
ally means an engagement, but
under the ruling of the Navy
which forbids an Annapolis
graduate from marrying until
two years after graduation, it
also means a long engagement.
Connie Gray, who has been no
end popular ever since her pima
fore days, is a very pretty per
son with dark brown hair, de-
lightful fresh coloring and
gay, fascinating manner.
NORRINE PHELPS, pretty

Church at noon, will be followed
by a breakfast at the Army,
Navy Country Club, with only

quite good bit Of time, so we
