and she is such a sweet and
charming person, is recuperat-
ing at Walter Reed from a siege
of illness. Mrs. Blanding, who is
always smartly groomed, has a
cunning 2-year-old granddaugh-
ter, the daughter Of Louise Var
borough, who obviously appre-
ciates this characteristic of her
grandmother.
It seems that Mrs. Yarbor.
ough arrived to visit General
and Mrs. Blanding during the
early fall. With her, Of course,
came the small daughter. Pre-
vious to this visit, Mrs. Yarbor-
ough and her daughter had Wis
tied with Mr.. Yarborough's
mother and father, who own and
live on q delightful country
place, with chickens, horses,
cows, etc.
The first thing the small
daughter did after making
Grandmother Blanding's &C.
uuaintance was to go looking
for the chickens, horses and
cows. She was most disappointed
not to find any. Mrs. Blanding,
whom the child calls CHINA"
tried to explain that in her
apartment at The Westchester
chickens, horses and cows would
crowd things just a bit.
However, the child was still
disappointed, but one thing, she
did like, Grandmother Bland
ing's pretty clothes, especially
the pale rose chiffons and
crepeS. Finally the time came
for Mrs. Marlborough and the
youngster to go. Two weeks
later, Mrs. Marlborough wrote
Mrs. Blanding: "You have be-
come a symbol to your grand
daughter. The other day she
came to me and said, Mother, l
want to see CHINA. I asked
her which CHINA she meant.
She looked at me with a wide
smile and informed me, I want
to see the pink CHINA, without
the chickens
TOL. AND MRS. DONALD
~ SAWYER are finally set
tied in their new house in Alex
andria and Mrs. Sawyer is plan
ming to have a housewarmnig
some time in January. The Saw
yers always give the incest par-
ties, and Mrs. Sawyer some
how manages to combine the
colors Of her dinner service with
the flowers then in season. Never
shall we forget a dinner we went
to at her house. The table was
like a page from a picture book,
with tall yellow candles, masses
# bronze and maroon-Shaded
ihrysanthemums, crystal glass
nd service plates of cream
anded with gold and maroon.
BARBARA CoNARD. daughter
ID of Rear Admiral and Mrs.
Charles Conard, has quite a
talent for writing, though at
the moment she is too taken
up with other things to do any
thing about it. Having been
interested in literature, compo-
Sition and things that go along
with it, she had never tried her
own hand at writing until one
day, out on the West Coast,
someone suggested a chatter
column Of Navy activities and
suggested to Barbara that she
do it. At first she wouldn't
consider it, then she did. From
what we hear, Barbara's writing
was very good and the title was
perfect for this Navy girl. The
title was Navy Soundings,
From the Lead Line of Barbara
Conard."

CAPTAIN AND MRS. HOW.
~ ARD CARR are a very
popular service couple and she
is a most attractive and pretty
person, small and dark and al.
ways beautifully groomed. At a
recent reception she wore fas-
cinating gown Of white chiffon,
with wide red velvet bows on
either shoulder and a crushed
velvet girdle which held the
hundreds Of wee chiffon pleatS
in place. Some one at this
same reception asked Captain
Carr If he were not an aide at
the White House.
Captain Carr said, mo"
"But you are something or other
there" they persisted. Captain
Carr considered. "Well," he in.
formed them, II am sort of the
aide to the overflow" The
truth is that he isn't an aide.
just as he said, but he does
have some official capacity,
which, If he keeps on being so
modest about, will never be
found out.
7 IEUT. AND MRS. RUSH
Ia LINCOLN, who are in the
Engineer Corps and are now
stationed at Fort Belvoir, are
another newly arrived and very
charming couple. Mrs. Lincoln
is a brunette and very tiny,
with a beautifully nodded face
that is nearly Grecian in it's
fineneSS. The first thing one
thinks about when they see her
is the word "patrician" and
that word suits her type ex-
