"VACATION HINTS"

ITS bit late for vacation hints, but
Evelyn Callan, Is, of 4512 Stamford
street. Chevy Chase, Md, comes
through with a suggestion so interest,"
ing that We just can't ignore it. Be-
sides, the automobile trip that she pro-
poses doesn't have to be confined to
the summer vacation season; it can be
made just about any time-and with
special enjoyment, no doubt, on one Of
these crisp fall week ends Evelyn. who
goes to the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Senior High School, writes:
Dear Editor:
Vacation season is just about over,
but hearing about new and interesting
places 70 visit can go on forever
If you are interested in historical
spots. I suggest that you reserve a
Sunday for an all-day visit to the bat
tleground of Antietam. Md 1t is about
IS or 80 miles from Washington and
the scenery is beautiful.
When you arrive at the cemetery
Cthis is the center Of interest), you are
greeted by two very pleasant rangers,
who will escort you to the various
points OF interest Each statue, each
stone seems to have story Of its own,
and you hear it from these two men,
Lunch is eaten in a lovely grove
about mile from the cemetery.
There is great stone tower that you
climb. and from it you can see acres
and acres of open country.
There are bronze tablets beside the
road, and these tell you what happened
at every spot.
If you have camera, by all means
carry it. You will want pictures Of the
statues, tic tower, the cemetery, per-
haps even of the rangers"

Thomas Marshall, a distinguished
ofhcer in the French War and the
War Of Independence. and Of Mary
Keith, a member Of the well-known
Randolph family.
Because school facilities were
meager in Fauquier County in
those days, John was educated
largely by his father. He had no
college training except q few lee
lures on law and natural philos-
ophy at William and Mary in 1779.
He abandoned the study of law at
18 to enter the Revolutionary
Army. As = member of his fathers
regiment, he took part in the bat
tie Of Great Bridge, in which he
displayed great courage.
In 1881. after leaving the Army,
Marshall began the practice of law
In his native county. The next
year he was elected to the Virginia
Assembly, serving As legislator
during eight sessions. Later he
moved to Richmond and, from 17S8
to 179l. was that city's represen-
tative In the Assembly. He was
also . member Of the Federal con-
vention which met in 1883 to dis

Types of Pencils
Used in Writiuq

DO YOU know why a slate pencil
won't write on paper? The kind
of pencil which is used to write on
slate makes its mark on the slate be-
cause the slate itself is hard enough to
rub the pencil down when it Is pressed.
If you try to write on paper with a
slate pencil, the paper will tear be-
cause paper Is too soft to wear the
pencil down. The slate must not only
be hard, but also little rough to
have the pencil mark effectively.
Have you ever tried to write on .

II you have, you can easily understand
why roughness Is essential to the proper
wearing down of . slate pencil. For
the same reason, neither an ordinary

First, we talked about things close
to home. and We both decided that our
best bet was to cultivate the $50 rose
bushes already planted and growing
around our house.
Neither of us knew anything about
roses, their care and marketing. The
first thing we did was to form a part
nership and send for literature on roses
from the Department of Agriculture.
WHEN the pamphlets arrived, we
studied them, learning the
names Of the bushes growing in our
yard. Then we divided the work Of cul-
tivating, fertilizing and marketing
them.
I'VE also learned the price of roses
at the florists.
MY brother, being the stronger, does
the work of spraying. fertilizing and
cultivating the rosebushes, while I

CHAPTER NINE

When Count Kurt Haugwitz-
Reventlow first appeared in Bar
bara Hutton's life he was un-
known to the newspapers, to the
European smart world in which
Prince Alexis Mdivani had moved,
and to all Of Barbara's American
friends.
Even now that he has become
famous everywhere as the second
husband Of the dollar princess and
the father of the heir to many
American millions, not . great
deal is known about him.
The house Of Haugwitz-Re
low is a very old one and the title
is sound and highly respected.
There are gwitz-Reventlow
lands and farms in Denmark. But
they are by no means vast estates,
nor was the count a wealthy man.
There is a persistent story that
his courtship Of Barbara Hutton,
which has a very elaborate one,
cut deeply into his capital.
Won Real Love
He won Barbara'S real love-for
two reasons. First, because she
was completely convinced Of his
sincerity and second because he
drew upon his old-world traditions
to make her feel that wealth was
a great responsibility which
should be cared for nobly, and
that he wanted to help her do
this.
He gave me the decided impress
sion that he regarded a man as
the head Of his household, that
he expected to determine the ways
Of that household in all things.
It is my firm belief that he per-
suaded Barbara Hutton to give up
her American citizenship and that
she did 1t in an effort to make
her second marriage a success.
It would, think, be the counts
honest conviction that a wife
should be Of the same nationality
as her husband. That the husband
should be in a position to control
and dictate in all matters. All
that is In his blood and in his
tradition.
