Society Women FoZlow Interesting Careers *
Mrs. Maginnis
ToOpen New
Hat Shop
BY Flora Macdonald

Take a stroll out
Connecticut Avenue
one of these fine Winter
days and consider aow many
Of those intriguing little
shops are the dreams come
true of society women who
have voted in favor of "a
career"
Long before Laura Cur
tbs thought of the 1925 F
Street Club, she had opened
Chez Curtis, where milady
may select correct sports at
tire for all occasions. It
would take more than the
fingers of both hands to
list those who have either
preceded or followed her.
New Venture
J Now we hear of 6. brand
new venture which one Of
the prettiest ladies in town
is about to undertake. Some
months ago Gwendolyn
Brownlee M..ginnis went to
New York to further her
study of hat designing. Now
Gwen, who is the wife of
Abbott Maginnis, former
Minister to Bolivia, is back
and has taken a shop out
near the Taft Bridge and
is in the throes Of unpacking
dozens of chic styles which
she has ordered for the
women Of Washington.
To introduce her exclusive
models she has arranged fash.
ion preview to follow a luncheon
at the Shoreham Hotel next
Saturday afternoon. Each cha
peau is individual and unusual
for Gwen believes that by your
hat you make your first impress
sion.
Her own hats have always
been daringly original and
women who strive to achieve
something unique in the way Of
millinery will flock to Ovens
new shop.
Lingerie Shop
Last year Mrs. John r. viii.
liams' daughter, Mrs. Frederick
Sterling, was intensely interested
in her interior decorating shop.
Fairly recently Mrs. Newbold
Noyes and Mrs. EmInonS Smith
have hung out their shingle to
proclaim that they have some
Of the most fascinating lingerie
to offer to the fastidiouS.
For several years now Barrine
Drake, daughter Of Brig. Gen.
and Mrs. Charles Drake, has
been in a gown shop on the
Avenue. Then there is the
Suede and Tweed Shop spon-
Sored by a group Of the younger
married women in. town. Mrs.
Cortlandt Parker and Mrs. Ed
ridge Jordan have found their
forte to be selecting stunning
gowns, wraps, suits and coats for
their hosts Of friends.

Again Alexandria will be host
to society Of northern Virginia,
Washington and Baltimore when
the fourth annual Virginia CO.
tillion is held at the George Ma
son Hotel on Friday, February
4. These cotillions are REVEALS
of the old Alexandria assem-
blies, held in Colonial days,
when Gadsby's Tavern was the
social center of this part Of the
Colonies.
Many Of those sponsoring the
ball are of the same families
who danced the minuets and
other early dances with the
Washingtons, Fairfaxes, Masons,
LewiseS and others prominent in
Virginia at the time.
The floor committee is headed
by Mr.. William E. Byrd, with
William Moncure, Dallas bort,

johnson, refuses to believe or
have any patience with the So
called supernatural. So-not so
long ago, several Of her friends
arranged a dinner, insisted that
she come and afterwards put on
a rather thrilling table-tipping
Seance. Everybody was SEEM
ingly impressed but not Mrs.
johnson. She observed every
thing and then informed the
others that those things hap
pened on account Of some cleo
trical forces which no one had
yet discovered. Well, everybody
had a thrilling time. So.
Peggy Wheeler, pretty daugh-
ter of Col. and Mrs. Raymond
Wheeler, is wearing a very good
looking afternoon frock these
last cold days. It is of black
soft wool and very simply made
and belted with wide and
barbaric silver-studded belt.
MRS. JONATHAN VAIN.
W1 WRIGHT, wife of Colonel
Wainwright, at the tea at
Fort Myer yesterday afternoon,
looked especially smart in q
print. A very tailored print,
with a background Of heavy
black crepe and splashed with
very dark purple flowers.
A DMIRAL AND MRS. WILL
"A LIAM H. STANDBY Che
was formerly Chief of Naval
Operations) were here recently
and, of course, everybody was
delighted to see them once
more. At the moment, as you
all know, the Standleys are liv-
ing in New York, where the
Admiral is, so we understand,
deep in plans for the Fair. Mrs.
Standley makes all of her many
friends feel extremely good by
admitting that she misses
washington, but she also admits
that New York and her apart
ment and the things she is in
terested in at the moment are
also quite to her liking.
MRS. FREDERIC A. HENNY,
WA wife of Captain Henny,
who is visiting here with her par.
ents, General and Mrs. Amos
Fries, has two young and very
vigorous sons. One, young Fred
eric, has, up until last week,
been completely happy without
any of the bugles, bands and so
forth, which he has always been
used to, in the life of different
military posts. However, things
and his own ideas are somewhat
different now.
In fact he suggested to his
amazed mother, last week. that
they have their own, personal
military doings. with flag rails
ing and gun salutes, each morn
ing and also a military observ-
ance at evening. His Mother
promptly refused. One reason
being her belief that quiet Cleve-
land Park, where General Fries
lives, would never stand for too
much military regime, especially
at the crack of dawn, and the
other reason being the sure
knowledge that General Fries
would think they were all a bit
crazy to even suggest such
thing.

has been in command of the
Third Corps Area, will doubtless
need a rest before he takes up
his new duties, for both he and
Mrs. BoWley, have been con-
stantly entertained ever since
the first of the year with fare
well parties.
JUSTINE DAVIS, daughter of
d the late Col. and Mrs. Glenn
Davis, is one of the very interest
ing younger people in Washing
ton. She and her mother have
just lately returned from Europe
and stay in Paris where JUS
tine was student at the Sor-
bonne. Justine, who is also most
attractive, is gifted with excel
lent descriptive powers and to
hear her tell of different Incl
dents in her stay abroad is quite
a treat. Mrs. Davis, as perhaps
you remember, is the sister Of
Gen. Alfred Smith.
HAPT. JOE SHERR, U. S. A.,
~ has just been ordered to
duty in the Third Corps Area,
from Delaware. Captain Sherr,
among other things, is quite a
student of the Japanese Ian
guage, having studied it some
years ago while on duty in
Japan.

II PUGH, she was the former
Louise Myers, returned from
their wedding trip to Fort Myer
last Monday and promptly next
day received all the good wishes
of the Fort and a very beautiful
silver pitcher as wedding
present. We do hear that Lieu
tenant Pugh, though somewhat
overcome with all this attention,
made a very nice little speech
of thanks.
TOL. JOHN P. BUBB was mar
" ried recently to Vera S.
Mackey in Beechwood, N. j.
All of which will be a surprise to
many Of his friends here, as
announcements have not yet
come down. Colonel Bubb is
the son of the late and very
welLknown General Bubb,
whose first name has gone en-
tirely out of my memory.
MRS. JAMES R. ALFONTE,
W1 wife Of Lieutenant Colonel
Alfonte. has just departed on a
very nice trip with a first stop in
El Paso, Tex, where she will
be the house guest Of Mrs. c. r.

with the Leo Brewers.

IL WILKIE BILL" BRERE-
TON, U. s. NJ, are going to de.
sert this town very shortly. And
many people are plenty dis
tressed over their leaving. The
Breretons have one of the pref
tiest and most hospitable small
houses in town, down on the
very quiet jefferson Place, and
thanks to Mrs. Brereton's eX
quisite taste. the entire house
is a little gem.
Lieutenant Brereton is going
to China for duty and just
whether Mrs. Brereton will go
abroad for while or linger in
the States, hasn't been as yet
decided. Mrs. Mrereton, who is
small and wears her reddish
hair in intriguing bangs, is very
devoted to cats and has two
very elegant and aristocratic
Siamese cats, who are very
much a part Of the family.

When Britain Owned France

Almost 900 years ago an English
army invaded France, and rs years
after this invasion a British king
was crowned in Paris. The city of
Calais, France, which remained in
English hands for more than 200
years, has given the world one of
the brightest examples of patriotic
devotion when, upon the first COM
ing of the English to lay siege to
the city, six of her leading citizens,
with halters about their necks, pre-
sented themselves to the invading
English king, offering their lives to
ransom their city from destruction.
