H October Is a sort OF in-betWeen
month. It's too late for summer
vacations and too early for the en-
tertaining of the winter social sea-
son to be getting under way.
Out in the Potomac Hunt cour-
try the Hagners, the McConihes,
the Morans and the Counselmans
are back from their vacations and,
Hike all residents of the Glen, are
waiting for the opening Of the hunt
season.
/ The M. F. H. OF the Hunt and Mrs.
Ralph Counselman are now In their
new home on q farm near Trayilah,
having recently returned from q
tsummer vacation In Cape May, N. j.
Mrs. August Kramm and DR..
Kramm are back from their honey
moon trip and are living at 10 Lea,
the Cotter. farm, near Travilah, and
will again take an active part IN
| the hunt, as will Mrs. Joseph Hor-
gan, Mrs. II. H. Semmes and many
Others.
Mrs. Horgan gave a tea few
days ago at which her guests were
members of the National Society OF
Arts. and Letters. Mrs. Dorothy
Bates of Chevy Chase, the presi-
dent of the society, presided at the
meeting which preceded the tea and
after the tea was over she left for
Long Island to attend Mrs. Cor
lnelius Vanderbilt Whitney'S birth
day dinner, given in the Whitney
home, Old Westbury, last night.
Mrs. Bates will continue her visit
with Mrs. Whitney for several days
more. Mrs. Whitney is q former
Chevy Chase resident, having lived
here when Col. Whitney was on duty
with the Army Air Forces during
the war.
Mrs. H. H. Semmes also took ad-
vantage of the lovely fall weather
to give tea for the members OF the
Chevy Chase Garden Club. Some
IS women of the Chevy Chase area
drove out to the Glen for the tea
and to hear a talk on gardening
problems by Mr.. E. Bender OF the
faculty OF the University Of Mary
land.
Presiding at the tea table were
Mrs. Frank Chase and Mrs. Whit
man Cross. Mrs. James Murphy was
cohostess with Mrs. Semmes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Semmes are still
living in town, although they spend
a good bit of time at the farm.
A good bit of the entertaining OF
the last few days has been for
guests from out of town or for some
one moving out of the neighbor-
hood.
BY coincidence several Of the Wis
itors here this week are from the
West Coast. Mrs. Estelle Walsh
Nagle and Miss Helen Walsh OF San
Francisco are visiting their brother
in-law and sister, Commissioner
Raymond Nagle and Mrs. Nagle, i'm
Brookmont. Mrs. Walsh and her
sister had been in Quebec for the
last 10 days and they planned their
trip back to the coast with stop
over in Washington to see Commis-
sioner and Mrs. Nagle's son, Thomas,
before he left to go into service
with the Army.
Also from the West Coast are Mr..
and Mrs. Theo Karle Johnston Of
Seattle, Wash, who are visiting MIR.
Johnston's sister-in-law, Mrs. Hall
Johnston, and her daughter, Miss
Kate Nellis Johnston, in Somerset.
Known professionally as Theo
Karle, Mr.. Johnston became well
known as a radio singer when a
resident of New York. For two
years he was the soloist in the
Riverside Church in New York, and
at one time he was member OF
the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston were fire.
quent visitors here during their
years of residence in New York.
Their last visit in Somerset was
four years ago just before they left
New York to move to Seattle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malcolm Farquhar

been visiting relatives in Sandy

nights ago of Mr.. Farquhar's cousins,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. Bateman Morris

had IL guests at the dinner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris are planning
to give another dinner party in the
