Helen "Goodie" Bulb has grave
doubts about these stories he
hears. from newspaper friends

Ster with Navy tradition and
background. Holland (or Bud"

taken up the newspaper profes-

come to Washington at q cock
tail party, last week, by Mrs.
Joy Hancock, a longtime friend.
The party was given at Mrs.
Hancock's house in Virginia,
which is very pretty and cool,
this time of year with its white
and green colors.

only house we know about which
has enough space and yet does
not have a flower garden. 1t
has, instead, what some people
consider infinitely more practi-
cal-a vegetable garden. And
believe it or not, this garden is
amazingly pretty, with a clear
bubbling spring right alongside
and the entire garden hedgec
around with thick green ivy.
