Admiral and Mrs. Clark, the
former known to his intimates as
"Jock," were hosts at dinner last
night. Their party was for the
admiral's brother-in-law (who in
cidentally has the same surname)
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ira G.

for few days. Among those who
already have entertained the Wis
itors are the admirals assistant,
Capt. Raymond R. Waller and Mrs.

Schaeffer.
Admiral and Mrs. Clark also re-
turned recently from Europe. They
were in Geneva, Paris and London
and while in London Admiral Clark
was Navy representative at the joint
conference of the Royal Aeronauti-
cal Society and the Institute Of
Aeronautical Sciences. They ran
into old friends there, too Capt.
and Mrs. j. B. Pearson, jr., and
their daughter, Beverly, who are
living in the former residence Of
Lord and Lady Mountbatten. Bev-
erly is a most attractive young miss,
with lovely dark hair and eyes, who
in June was presented at the Court
of st. James's.
The Clarks are quite enthusiastic
about their new house which they
bought this summer, did over COM
pletely and moved into on their
return from abroad. They sold
the one in Kenwood which they
purchased last year. and their new
red brick Georgian Colonial resi-
dence commands an enviable view
Of the Potomac River and WASH
ington. In contrast to the long
haul" from their former place in
Kenwood, Mrs. Clark proudly boasts
that their new abode is only eight
minutes from Jocks Office, without
single traffic light in between"
For the benefit of their friends,
their new address is 1857 Twenty
sixth street, south.
