Once, and Mrs. Surles will have a
different address as of tomorrow
They took advantage of an oppor-
tunity to get an apartment in
Washington-which is sometimes
compared to going through major
war-so there will be temporary
vacancy out at Fort Myer.
Their new address will be 2o22
Columbia road, the wyoming Apart
ments.
An unusual and interesting COIN
cldence in the Surles' case is that
Fort Myer was their first post and
their last. When Gen. Surles grad
uated from West Point in 1911 he
was sent there as lieutenant in
the 18th Cavalry. Mrs Surles said
she hoped this would be a perma-
nent address. Her husband was re-
tired on March 81, but was called
back on active duty the next day

Mrs. Woodhouse of Connecticut
Known as Economist and Educator

Of public Office, is a story she sums
up brief1y-jobs have always seemed
to come her way in an easy fash
ion. She undertook both her politi-
cal campaigns at the request OF
Democratic groups in her State.
She is a New Englander by FAM
lily background, but was born in
Victoria, British Columbia, where
her father, civil engineer, was
engaged on railroad-building
project. Most of her youth was
spent on the Pacific Coast, she was
graduated from the Science High
School at Shelbyville, KY, and then
went to McGill University in Mon
treal for her college work. After
that she studied abroad-prin-
cipally at the University of Berlin
before returning to America for
further graduate work at the Uni
versity of Chicago.
While she was at the University
Of Chicago she was offered a posi-
ton as economics instructor at
Smith College. That started her
on career that has included teach
ing at the summer sessions of many
universities, several years here as
senior economist with the Agricul-
ture Departments Bureau of Home
Economics and a post as director
of personnel at the Woman's Col
lege, University of North Carolina
Mrs. Woodhouse and her husband
Edward James Woodhouse, pro-
fessor at the University of North
Carolina. have two children. Their
son, Noel r. S. Woodhouse. served
several years in the A. A. F before
his recent discharge. He has re-
turned to the University of North
Carolina to study law. Margaret,
who became her mothers secretary
when Mrs. Woodhouse found it al
most impossible to obtain such
assistance, plans to begin a law
course at the same university next
February.
Mrs. Woodhouse and Margaret
live in a house in Georgetown which
she bought after she came to Wash
ington. 1t is filled with the antiques
she loves and has a nice garden
Her hobby is doing over old houses
She once wanted to become an
architect, gave it up because she
couldn't find a good school that
would accept women and now salts
fles the ambition by donning over
alls and welding a paint brush.
She has little time, however, to
spend at home. Being a member
of Congress, she has found, curtails
personal freedom to a great extent
She is member of the Banking
and Currency Committee which has
handled such important legislation
as the Breton Woods agreement
OPA and housing bills and the
British loan.
AS freshman member of the
House, she has been impressed by
the spirit of give and take" which
prevails despite personal disagree
ments. And she has found that
the women in Congress are treated
not as women but as persons.

House for their brief journey. Plans
are now taking shape for their en-
tertainment.
Mr.. Huxley will be in the coun-
try for about three weeks, making
New York his headquarters for the
major part of the time. He has
just completed a tour of Brazil,
Venezuela and Cuba. Mexico will
be his last stop before entraining
for Washington.
In Washington now is another in
teresting personality from England.
DR.. Edith Ford, chairman of the
British Teachers Exchange, arrived
several days ago for important dis
cussions with officials of our Office
of Education. She is winding up
arrangements for the exchange of
teachers between this country and
England. Seventy of our top teach
ers are to sail for England in time
for the opening of the coming
autumn school term. And simul-
taneously the same number of Eng
lish instructors will be en- route to
the United States.
Mrs Ford will be in this city for
several weeks and will be enter
tanned during her stay. The whirl
of fetes for her started Friday with
the First Secretary of the British
Embassy and Mrs. Maclean and the
Second Secretary and Mrs. David
Daiaches giving a joint cocktail
party in her honor
Mrs. CLARK Plans Fefe
United States Attorneys from all
parts of the country will be in town
during the coming week for confer
ences with Attorney General Tom
c. Clark. Their arrival will be the
signal for several entertainments.
Many are bringing their wives with
them and there will be parties for
them too.
Mrs. Clark is planning a buffet
supper Thursday for the ladies at
her home. The affair will be
marked by simplicity and the guests
will be limited to the visitors and
wives of officials of the Justice De-
partment.
Another function scheduled for
| the ladies is a tea Wednesday
given jointly by Mrs. Wendell Berge.
Mrs. T. Lamar Caudle, wives of
Assistant Attorney Generals and
Mrs. James V. Bennett, whose hus-
band is Director of the Bureau of
Prisons.
The Wednesday affair will be
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Berge in Rock Creek Hills. In
keeping with the conservation of
wheat for food relief abroad, the
tea time dainties will be made of
oatmeal and other substitutes.
Another entertainment for some
visitors will be the cocktail party
tomorrow given by the chief of
1.-THE shipping division of the State
Department, Mr.. Jesse E. Saugstad.
His guests will be a number of
prominent shipbuilders from Swe-
den, who are en- route to Seattle
to visit ship yards there.
With the end Wednesday of the
mourning period the calendar will
be crowded with activity. In ad-
dition to the events postponed out
of respect to the late Chief Justice
Stone, many other parties have been
planned.
The Dean of the Diplomatic Corps
and Senhora de Martins will be
hosts at dinner Wednesday night
at the Embassy. The affair will

is possible. She plans to leave
some time during the early summer
and will spend several months at
her place in Dinard as well as
taking time to look over her apart
ment in Paris. Her charming place
in Dinard, where she has assembled
much of the late Mr. Bartlett's best
works of sculpture as a permanent
exhibit, has been left almost per-
fectly intact. However, there prob
ably has been considerable damage
done from the dampness in the
Paris apartment because of the lack
of heat in the age-old stone build
ing.
Stefanos Lease House
Mrs. Bartlett remained in her
Dinard home as long as she dared
after the invasion of France and
for some months nothing was heard
from her in Washington. She
reached here safely after unusual
experiences in transit and settled in
the house at 1925 N street where
she has been for the past few years.
The N street house she has leased
to the Counselor of the Italian En-
bassy and Signora Stefano.
Planning to return to Washington
in the autumn, Mrs Bartlett prob
ably will take over the N street
house. In the meantime, Mrs.
Bartlett is in what she calls her
''Foxhole," a smaller and very quaint
little house at 1878 Thirty fourth
street. The little "Foxhole" stands
in the midst of a rolling field, which
gives ample opportunity for a small
| garden-a necessity to comfort in
Mrs. Bartlett's life.
| Coming back recently from Paris
were DR.. and Mrs. Hugh S. Cum
ming. DR.. Cumming, who some years
ago was surgeon general of the
Public Health Service, now is di-
rector of the Pan American Sani-
tary Commission. The trip was for
inspection of conditions abroad. The
couple made the trip both ways by
plane.
Mrs. Franklin Mott Gunther is
making plans for her return to this
country, having been abroad for
some time. She is in Romanla and
expects to be back here some time
in July.
Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins also
is Washington bound, although
plans for her flight to the Capital
from the Argentine were delayed
from this month to June.
Other travellers coming in this
direction are Mrs. Dean Acheson,
expected back this evening from
Saranac. and the Undersecretary
of Commerce and Mrs. Wayne
Cha Taylor. who will be back
shortly from 10 days on their farm
in Virginia.
