first name, but she was Julia

LIEUTENANT CLARKE
- LYNN owns one of the most
lovable dogs in Army circles.
This dog, a slim supple pointer,
is named Jennie Lynn and is one
of the most amiable creatures
with an absolute delight in sit
ting in everybody'S lap with the
supreme knowledge that it is
all right with everyone con-
cerned. It usually is. However,
if you cont happen to know
Jennie, intimately, she will
frighten you half to death by
her deep groWls, on your first
appearance. But - Lieutenant
Lynn VOWS that groWl is. just
a defense mechanism, for Jennie
is much too sweet to hurt any,
body much less bite them and
is the type of dog who will
gladly show a burglar exactly
where the silver is hidden.
CTORIES with no names are
~ not much fun, but we
promised on this one. Neverthe-
less, not SO long ago, several
well known Navy couples, who
had all been at the same cock.
tail party, decided that they
must go to one of the gay
Washington night spots. They
couldn't agree on which one and
much argument and what not
went on. Finally, the four
couples, for that was the num-
Der, gave up trying to reach a
decision and all announced that
they would separate, go their
separate ways and pick out the
best and hottest night spot in
town. Exactly twenty minutes
later all of them met in a well.

I 1EUT. P. D. STROUP, U. S.
IL NJ, and his so very lovely
wife, are occupying a house
down in Virginia during his sta
ton nearaboutS here. For some
time they have been occupying
their house more than usual, on
account of their three young
hopefuls being down and quar-
antined with the chicken pox.
But, the day finally came when
the children were out and o. K.
once more.
That night, to celebrate, more
or less, Lieutenant Stroup and
his wife came up to Washington
to be part of a gay party. Sud-
denly, between one course and
another, Lieutenant Stroup dis
appeared and-what'S more he
didn't come back.
Mrs. Stroup, alarmed, went in
search of him and found him in
a real rage. Look" he told
her, pointing dramatically, to
his face, Il have gotten rome
thing" Mrs. Stroup looked, and
sure enough. her husband had
gotten something. Nothing less
than the chicken pox and now
the Stroups are quarantined
once more and Lieutena ant
Stroup is storming around,
mumbling something about "a
children's disease and what non
sense"
MRS. JACK HOLLOWELL,
AVA wife of Lieutenant Hollo-
we'll, who Is now away on fleet
duty, gave a very nice luncheon
out at the Army-Navy Country
Club last week. Mrs. HolloWell,
better known as Doris, has the
darlingest youngster. a wee girl
whose name is Faith, but who
insists on calling herself Pump
kin" What Doris intends doing
about her child's inSistence on
this name no one knows, not
even Doris, for, in a way, 1t is
her own fault. The baby was
taken around the globe with no
name at all and grew to be two
years old before Doris decided
what to call her, and now that
she has decided, Faith will have
nothing to do with it, refuses to
answer to it and will only re-
spond to Pumpkin"
