The Gene Tunneys are at
their place at Hobe Sound, and
the famous Stern has just COM
pleted group in bronze of the
three cunning Tunney children.
which will be placed in the
patio Of the Tunney house. The
Val Bartletts, of Chicago. are
also at Hobe Sound. The Attor-
ney General is playing golf
every day and getting as brown
as the proverbial berry, but
Mrs. Cummings stays out of the
sun, as she explains, Neither
Of us liking the other" 1t Is
quite warm in Florida now, and
this is very Sad-there was not
one word in the note about
when the CummingseS were
coming home. However, we hope
soon.
DIAMOND FITZG ERALD,
~ legal adviser to the COVER
nor Of Massachusetts,, was in
town over the week end to
gather up his pretty daughter,
Joan, who was spending hel
school vacation with Marie and
Nancy Hayes, daughters of the
Walter Hayes. Besides being one
Of the most entertaining people,
Mr.. Fitzgerald has a speaking
voice that would charm birds
right off q tree. It would be
too bad to attempt an argu-
ment with him, for one would
be persuaded out of it 10 min
utes after he began to speak.
We discovered during the aft
ernoon that Mrs. Fitzgerald is
a niece of the famous Gen. j.
J. Carly, pioneer, with Alexan-
der Bell, in the telephone, and
quite a character in his own
right. If one likes amazing Co
incidences, General Carly lived
one. He had planned to go to
college but things happened
and he couldn't. Shortly after,
he met Alexander Bell and be-
gan with him as a battery boy
and went on to success and
fame later. If General Carty
had gone to college, and he was
bitterly disappointed that he
couldn't, he would never have
met Mr.. Bell, never been asso-
ciated with him, and, perhaps
never reached the heights to
which he went.
Always of an inventive mind,
this same trait showed quite
early in the generals career
AS a boy it was his duty to light
the fires in the stoves in his
house. So, not liking to get up
,arly, he arranged a neat con-
raption, with pulleys, match,
IN alarm at certain time acted
20 that the match was struck,
he fire was lighted and every
hing was lovely without him
having to move from his bed.
Lieut.. Comdr. Joseph Lynch,
!ood-looking Navy bachelor, is
Mr.. Fitzgerald's brother-in-law.
ORETTY PATSY CLEMENT

Sermuda as a vacation from

and bring her back to Washing
ton for a visit. Frances, who
gave all the masculine contin-
gent in town terrific heart muir

school, has one Of those heart
shaped faces, big gray eyes and
golden hair, and dresses ex-
quisitely.
TIME EARL CALHOUNS (and
i Mrs. Calhoun is q fascinat-
ing Polish woman) had one Of
the incest cocktail parties fo1
Nine. Elvina Orlioz Dreszerowa.
The hours were from five until
eight and even then the time
was too short, for practically no
one would go. Such delicious
food, so much Of it. Nine.
Dreszerowa told us that IN 70
land that is always the case,
and we are still wondering just
how the Polish women keep
their lovely figures and-they
all do.
