When Mrs Josiah W. Bailey
axes a hand in things, they begin
to hum. That accounts for the we'll
organized Washington chapter of
the Peace college alumnae associa-
ton now growing in leaps and
bounds in the capital today. Last
Wednesday evening, Mrs. New
man Townsend and Mrs. Bailey
were hostesses to as many former
students of the school as could be
rounded up on short notice and the
result was particularly gratifying.
Mrs. Ruth McKelway, well-known
throughout the state, was named
honorary chairman of the group
and alert Mrs. William (Peliz Bail
cyl Prim, daughter of Senator
Bailey was unanimously elected
permanent chairman. A h e r
happy motion made Mrs. Albert
P. Bauman an associate member
of the local chapter, because of the
close associations that have ex-
listed for many years between stu
dents at Peace and the Bauman
family. Assisting with organizing
the group we're Mrs. Mary Colvin
Murphy, Mrs. J. H. Phillips, Mrs.
Tom MCGEE (Sarah Kornegay Of
Mt. olive, Miss Link, just out OF
uniform; Mrs. Annie Ihrie Ct. Al
Walden, Mrs. Thad Page and her
mother, Mrs. Page; Mrs. Dave
Sentner MARY Steele), Mrs. Char
les Gois Bivens) Riley, the officers
and hostesses. The group was or
gained for social purposes-and
with the desire to shine up a little
that Peace heritage, SO dear to a
Peace girls heart.
The North Carolina Society's sea-
son is surely drawing to a close
with only two more dances on the
books. There's one tonight, start
ing at ten, with Dave MacWilliams
furnishing the music-and all the
North Carolina 'lovelies" in Wash
ington ready to &c. John Slear has
another couple of dozen or so pairs
of nylon hose for attendance
prizes, which we predict will 60 to
the newly-weds for the most part,
as all newlywed Tar Heels in the
capital are honor guests Of the
event. The last dance of the season
will be held June Is and promises
to be the best of dances for the pas
three years.
Just when you think the home
town Chats Washington, at pres
ent) is really on the beam, you
hear of people-and people-leav-
ing. Then you begin to wonder just
what's wrong with it-besides the
queues, the traffic, the weather.
and the high-cost of living! It's
probably that Irresistible appeal
of Cardinals sunny skies, the
promise of the peach orchards, the
blackberries along the highways
or the watermelons soon to be rip
ening. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Nelson
Black left today for Chapel Hill
and tomorrow the Jack E. Rankins
will entrain for their new home in
Greensboro. Mr.. and Mrs. Hildreth
Gray are sun-hunting after these
dreary days of rain and more rain
and start for Wilmington early in
the week. Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Nc
Gee leave for home tomorrow and
also off for the state are Mrs.
Dudley Gordon, Mr.. and Mrs. Al
bert Hat and Miss Tree Whisen-
ant. Senator and Mrs. Bailey plan
to leave shortly since the Senator
has made such speed in his recov-
cry. After a short rest in their Ra-
leigh home, they will return until
congress recesses.
