Generally speaking, Montgomery
County has two groups of women
the up-county women of the rural
section and the women of the sub
urban area in the lower part of the
county.
But except for the difference in
location there is no dividing line
between the two groups; and just
now the social news centers around
the up-county women.
A few days ago some 40-odd
women of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase area drove the IS miles to
the up-county town of Barnesville
to be the luncheon guests of the
farm women of that area and next
week the farm women and the sub
urban women will again meet to-
gether. But this time the story will
be reversed and the farm women
will be the guests and the suburban
women will be the hostesses.
A few of the local women at the
luncheon in Barnesville were Mrs.
Joseph T. Mcguire, Mrs Roger j.
Whiteford, Mrs. Earl Trager, Mrs.
Mason B. Leming, Mrs. George E..
Pariseau, Mrs. O'Neal johnson, Mrs.
Kester Hastings and Mrs. p H. Roy
ster Others were Mrs. Frank Gar
field, Mrs. Irving M. Day. Mrs. B.
Peyton Whalen, Mrs. Lawrence
Myers, Mrs. Robert j. Dannemiller,
Mrs. Miner Hostetler and Mrs.
Charles NJ Arthur.
These women are members of the
Executive Board of the Montgomery
County Federation of Women's
Clubs, which met for business ses-
sion before the luncheon.
Hostesses who served the luncheon
were Mrs. George Nicholson, Mrs.
William H. Daniel, Mrs. Jones F.
Hoyle, Mrs. Ray Cregger, Mrs.
Charles Upton and Mrs. Charles
Van Emmon of Barnesville, all farm
women and all members of the three
local Montgomery County Home
Makers Clubs.
The occasion of next weeks meet
ing of the county women will be the
semiannual meeting of the County
Council of Home Makers Clubs to
be held in Silver Spring. Miss
Frances Wolfe is in charge of the
arrangements for the days program.
Bridge parties are back in the
news again after lapse of months
when nearly every one was on va
cation and almost every day there
is a foursome or maybe a larger
party somewhere in the neighbor-
hood.
One of these parties about which
the guests are still talking was Mrs.
Richard E. Titlow's luncheon and
bridge Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Titlow,s party had everything
that makes party success-good
food, colorful decorations, little
music during the lunch hour and
plenty of interesting conversation
of the kind that is possible only
when the guests are a group who
have been friends over a long period
of years.
Bethesda women at Mrs. Titlow's
party were Mrs. c. Eugene Doyle,
Mrs. F. P. Di Blasi, Mrs. Clarence
c. Keiser, Mrs. William C. Bashore.
Mrs. F. G. Kayhoe and Mrs. Will
liam R. Teunis.
Mrs. Titlow took her guests to the
Shoreham for the party.
Mrs. E. M. Willis was back in
Bethesda for a few hours last Tues
day. AS past president of the
Woman's Club of Bethesda she came
out to take her turn at the tea
table at the open house that marked
the opening the clubs new year, and
as she served the guests she took
time for a word Of greeting with
each one.
Mrs. Willis has been away from
Bethesda for several years. Her
winters have been spent in Florida
and during the summer she has
been living near Leesburg. Recently
she sold her farm and is building
new home, she told her friends
Tuesday. Mrs. Willis daughter, Miss
Mary K. Willis, became a pilot dur
ing the war and was with the Ferry
Command. For the past few months
she has been flying a commercial
plane carrying orchids from Miami
to st. Louis and New York. A few
weeks ago she sold her plane and
just now she is spending good bit
of time in Bethesda rehearsing for
a part in THE Late George Apley,"
the opening production Of the Mont
gomery Players.
Another former resident who has
been calling on old friends in SOM
erset during the past week is Mrs.
George T. Meredith.
