HOWARD RAILEY was in
Al town last weekend but
minus his charming wife Bah
sic" who was very busy at that
time, moving from their New
York apartment to a country
place on Long Island. The
Raileys who were here for some
years before Howard departed
for New York, and the first lap
of becoming an economic royal
list, were extremely popular with
everyone, especially the Virginia
hunting crowd, and their cum
ming place in Alexandria was
the scene of many a small and
gay soiree.
Howard VOWS he misses Wash
ington, like nothing human; tells
about Peter, the small son OF
the household, and is leaving In
vitations, like SnowflakeS, be-
hind him to all of his many
friends to come to their coun-
try place for any weekend at all.
THE Children's Federal Art
l. Gallery, which is under the
direction of the WPA, which in
turn supplies the building and
the instructors, garnered quite
an extra supply of funds yester-

Executive Committee, of this
Art Gallery supplies the mate
rails for these children (from 6
to 18) and $240 is the yearly
sum, needed for maintenance.

that they are preparing to show
it in all of their magazine adver-

dren is good"
MRS. Charles McEnerney
won a cake and then meekly
took the one which was handed
to her, instead of having her
choice and taking the chocolate
one. The chocolate cake was the
one we wanted and as long as
Mrs. McEnerney was riding
home with us, we were planning
to eat a huge slice of it.
Such luck! Helen Peck told
the most amusing dialect
stories, as part of the entertain

Ziskin did the most interesting
skit, taking all three parts, her
self and gathering plenty OF ap-
plauSe.
JAMES HOUGHTON NELSON,

as "Houghtie," is engaged and
will be married on June rs, IN
Huntington, w. Va, and to the
attractive Josephine Jones, OF
that town. Houghtie was a most
charming person, very well
liked and a real gift to the girls
who appreciated an excellent
dancer, and when he went back
to West Virginia there was real
regret in town.
