a most fascinating garden.
There was only one drawback
when Mrs. Schuyler moved into
this house some time ago-there
was some conversation between
herself and the moving men as
to whether the cunning little
doors of the house would have
to be knocked out completely
before they moved in some OF
her exquisite furniture or
whether the furniture itself
would have to be sent back to
storage for another Sojourn.
Neither was done, because some
clever mind thought up a way
to get all the furniture inside.
And - Mrs. Schuyler's house.
not at all incidentally, is a gem
of beauty and comfort and mel
low color.
MRS. LIE PAGE CROWN
III MILLER, wife of Captain
Crownmiller, U. S. M. c., and
Mrs. Bayard Bell, whose late
husband was a beloved figure
in the Marine Corps, enter
tanned yesterday afternoon at
a delightful and rather unique
cocktail party. Unique because
both hostesseS decided that this
particular party should be a
real service party, with no one
present who was not in or OF
the service.
And so it was that way. Cap
tain Crownmillcr is at the pres
ent writing in China and so are
the household belongings of the
Crownmiller family. You see,
the entire family we're getting
ready to join Captain Crown
miller, when they found the
orders changed and discovered
that they would stay in this
country until further notice.
However, nobody could say any
thing to the furniture, so it
went on to China and there 1t
will stay until further notice.

T IEUT. COL. AND M R S.
LCLrNTON RUssEL-Army
Air Corps, the Colonel is now on
duty on the west coast-haye
been visiting here, during the
Christmas holidays and to see
their young son who is prepar-
ing at Millard School. Mrs.
Russell, who is small, dark and
very gay and vivaciouS, is
most delightful person and has
many friends here, all OF whom
tried their best to entertain her,
even though her time was
limited during her sojourn here.
MAJOR AND MRS. F. D.
W1 ROGERS and Capt. and
Mrs. B. c, Batterton we're joint
hosts at a large and CHEEKY tea
down at Quantico yesterday
afternoon. Ever so m ny
people drove down from Wash
ington and seemingly everyone
arrived early and stayed late.
Both these couples are exceed
ingly popular and Major Rogers
is known from here to yonder
and back again by his nickname,
Texas" and, as usual, IN serV'
ice circles no one can remem-
ber lust why he is called that
or when the name began. Some
day this column is going to be
concerned with nicknameS and
their beginnings but because 1t
will take months of research
it will have to wait until spring.
HOPE BLANDY, the very
II pretty daughter of Com
mander and Mrs. William H. P.
Blandy, is not only an excel
lent linguist, but she speaks eX-
uuisite Portuguese, the latter
language learned when the fam
ily was stationed in Rio, where
Commander Blandy was Naval
Attache, at the American EN-
bassy. Of course, what is espe-
cially interesting about Portu'
guese is that it is admittedly the
most difficult language to learn
to speak-correctly.

MRS. THOMAS. @. ASH
W1 BURN, wife of General Ash
burn, is stunning looking per
son and wears always extremely
smart clothes. At the recent
Cabinet at homes, last Wednes-
day, Mrs. Ashburn wore black,
a one-piece frock and swagger
top coat, fashioned of the softest
