Renchords Leaving
Vienna and Deweys
Ending Long Trip
By Morooret Germond

Washington society may be
seeing again in the near future
several Of its popular residents
who have been abroad for the
best part of this year. Former
Representative and Mrs. Charles
S. Dewey are about heading home
after extensive tours OF at least
five European countries. and Sec
ond Secretary George Renchard
of the United States Legation in
Austria and his attractive wife
are pulling stakes for. an unan-
nounced assignment which their
friends hope will be home.
The Deweys were in Switzer-
land the latter part of October
for their second sojourn in that
country during their trip. They
were leaving for another visit in
Paris the following week and be-
fore starting home planned to
tour Spain. Italy also was in their
itinerary.
While in Germany they stayed
mostly in Frankfurt. an old IA
vorite Of Mrs. Dewey's. which had
been largely destroyed. She was
greatly intrigued by one church
which had been rebuilt with an
interior of very modern design
and materials, and puzzled as to
where the energy as well as the
money had come from.
With her meager ability to
speak the language. Mrs. Dewey
managed to learn from two kindly
German women that it was
Protestant church and had been
rebuilt by a group of German
American immigrants. One of
them had been there a year ago
and had made a speech which
they had heard, but they could not
remember his name, although
they had heard it and seen it
printed many times.
The Deweys thanked them and
left, only to hear the German
women running after them to ex-
claim that they had remembered
the name of the very generous
German-American immigrant. He
was Herr UNRA.
Within another week Mr.. and
Mrs. Renchard and their three
youngsters will be en- route to
somewhere after months in Vien-
ma. Living in what she terms a
walled city has been fascinating
and very interesting to the former
Stelita Stapleton. who says that
Vienna has so much to offer with
in its walls that the Russian re-
striction Of not being able to go
out of the city without permis-
sion has not proved too great a
handicap.

Eleanor Ritchie can dine out
for a long time on stories about
her European stay. Called back
here because of husband Brig.
Gen. Bill Ritchie's health, she has
some interesting tales to tell OF
their several months stay in Lon
don and trips to the Continent.
During the late summer they
visited the John Hanbury-Wil-
liams' (Mrs. H-W is the former
Ida Cantacuzene) on one OF the
most famous estates in Europe
La Mortala is on the border be-
tween France and Italy. has the
most fabulous gardens in that sec
ton Of the country. and 1t still
takes Is gardeners to keep them
UP. Nearly every kind of plant
is cultivated there, including 40
varieties of palm trees alone!
During the war the Germans
moved into the estate. laid sew
eral hundred mines in the gar
dens. At the risk of his life the
head gardener hid in a treetop,
noted where each was laid. and
when the Allies came all were
removed with impunity. The head
butler. who has been with the
Hanbury family for 65 years. also
used his head. He saw in advance
what might be In store for them,
built a false room in the cellar
and there stored all the fine china.
silverware and linen.- walling 1t
up so cleverly that the Germans
never detected it. AS a result OF
his foresightedness. Eleanor says
every meal at La Mortala was an
artistic delight.
Like living in world that IS
now extinct, Eleanor says that the
most amusing part of 1t all was
that She and Bill never laid eyes
on the upstairs servants. The lat
ter must have been watching them
all the time, however, because they
no sooner stepped out OF their
rooms than maids stepped in. and
10 minutes later everything would
be in order. What's more, the
personal maid and valet put out
the clothes they thought they
should wear each evening. Bill
baked at this, said he wanted to
select for himself what he wanted
to put on, but Eleanor Gained him
down and persuaded him to let the
perfectly trained valet function in
his usual perfect way. Shades OF
the elegant, old living!

ger Pratt. joined her for q week

WITS OF VIRGINIA
JUDGE

RICHMOND, Va, March 10. "a
NP)-A flying soothsayer, who is
widely known in the eastern part
of Virginia as master X", had a
case in court here last week which
taxed the wits and legal knowl-
edge Of a federal judge. The judge
was not able Immediately to dis
pose of the case and set a later
date for his decision.
Judge Wilson Warlick, who lis
tened to Jesse Borland's story on
exploring the heavens in an air
plane to seek the aid of cosmlc
rays in his enormous "luck stone"
business, pendered the case and
then announced that it was going
to take a little time to work out
a decision.

ney George Humrickhouse, crack

flights and the crashes were not
reported to the Civil Aeronautics

Of his case, master x" was SUI
perbly perturbed. He admitted be-
ing a little annoyed at the legal
complications taking time from his
exepriments in the stratosphere
to make luck stone.
Borland told the court that the
cracked-up planes were not being
used in his work. He recently
bought three surplus AT-6 all
force trainers at Camden, S. G..
and flew one to his backyard air
field" in Henrice county neal
Richmon. He hired pilots to fly
the others after he cracked up.
