Exclusively Yours
Some Christmas Gifts That Definitely Won't Be Returned;
Woshngonons to Do Much Moving at Years Beginning

couple of bachelors in town who
are also taking new lease. Rep
resentative Jack Kennedy Of Mass
achusetts has leased the house on
N street In Georgetown that has
hitherto been occupied by Halsted
Wander Poel, who in turn has
leased the Edwin Somers' house
on Prospect avenue and is moving
in this week end. There ought to
be an epidemic of moving this
week end what with the new men,
bers Of Congress arriving with
their respective retinues.
No couple. though. will be doing
as much switching around as Fay
and Ed Somers who only recently
moved into the house they are
about to leave. They have now
bought the middle, main entrance
section of Friendship which Mrs.
Harold Walker. another Capitalize
also always on the move, formerly
owned and lived in. The Somers'
will start hanging their hats there
in about month but they'll hardly
get used to the new abode before
their Middleburg house will be
ready for occupancy. It's the
Oldest house in Middleburg and
probably the littlest. says Fay, and
it will have had its face lifted by
spring. It's located on the 1000
acres that form the Robert Nc
Connells' hunt country estate.
The elasticity Of Friendship, the
house where Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean once lived by herself, Is
If not astounding. There
are now no less than five separate
dwellings made by dividing the
house up, and the ballroom which
has been disconnected from the
building will be torn down to be-
come the site Of six new houses
with gardens! OF course. they're
throwing in some extra ground to
do that!
When the new owners of the
center section move in the neigh
borhood will resound on occasion
with the clang-clang of an old
fashioned street car. It will be
the Bermuda bell in Fay's station
wagon. Her husband has been
wanting one for years. she says.

Three gay dances and three ra-
diant debutanteS yesterday as
sured that the younger set. at
least, would not be saddened by
the sight of the tinsel and ribbons
of Christmas making their inevi-
table way to the trash.
For the young. who have had
little time between parties even
to open presents, Christmas is
still glittering and very much alive.
The sparkle of sequins and rhine
stone on ball gowns and the rib
bons on hundreds of debutante
corsages yesterday took up where
St. Nick left off his decorating.
Starting off the days festivities
was a luncheon given by post-deb-
utante Miss Carol Joan Cunning
ham in honor of two of this years
buds. Miss Elizabeth Wetherill and
Miss Louise Cahill. The party,
held in the Palladian Room of the
Shoreham Hotel. included Is
guests mostly this years debu-
tantes.
Two Teo Dances Held
Parking places were at a pre-
MUM come o'clock yesterday
around the Carlton Hotel and the
Washington Club where two tea
dances commanded the attend
ance of the younger set and Of
many of the older members of
residential society.
Making her bow at the Carlton
was lovely, blue-eyed Joan Lyons.
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. John H.
Lyons. She received with her par
ents, and while late arrivals
stopped to greet their hostesses
the early birds twirled on the
dance floor with the help of Sid
ney and his indefatigable men.
The graceful blond debutante
wore a f1lmy dress Of the palest
blue net made with an off-the-
shoulder neckline and scattered
with tiny pearls. She carried a
small, old-faShloned bouquet OF
mixed flowers. Mrs. Lyons chose a
handsome dark blue lace dress for
the occasion.
On hand for the party were
three of the debutante's aunts.
Mrs. George Jefferson, Mrs. T. A.
Armitage and Miss Margaret Sorg,
who came up from Richmond for
the festivities. Joan is a student
at Sacred Heart Convent here.
For an hour yesterday the tea
dance guests were able to get
together at one party because Miss
Elizabeth Lydstone MacCubbin,
who was presented by her par
entS at the Washington Club, ex-
tended the, tea-dance hour until
8 o'clock, The other party was
from 5 to Z.

That circumstances alter
cases" applies particularly in this
instance: IF we send a wedding
present to the bride who has not
sent US an invitation. would that
be likely to make her family feel
that they had to send us one?
Or might it make them feel badly
If there's no time to send the in
vitation?"
II her wedding Is to be 50 snlan
that none but families are to be
included, it would be quite all
right to send a present to a BRIDE
to-be Of whom you are fond. OF
course, If the invitations have been
general and you were not invited,
your kindness in sending q pres
ent might be misunderstood.
Flowers Often Impractical
Dear Mrs. Post: I read in a
funeral notice that flowers were to
be omitted. So followed the re-
quest and was very much embar-
raSsed later. There were many
floral pieces from everywhere.
Isn't this request supposed to DO
taken seriously?
Answer: In former years, how-
ers were often sent in spite of the
request because it was supposed
that the family were merely being
considerate of the cost to many
of their friends. But at the pres
ent time when the burial is 50
often in a mortuary where there
is no space for flowers, it is best
to comply with the request.
Why Not7
Dear Mrs. Post: Would 1t be
wrong for a married woman to get
in touch with a married man (di-
vorceO who was once a very good
friend of hers, and still is, except
these two seldom see each other?
He comes from her home town and
gets to town occasionally on busi-
ness.
Answer: What could be more
natural than inviting an old friend
from your home town to come to
see you, and your husband.

SHORT SWIM FOR KING
CARRYING ALASKA TAG

Two days ago it was reported that
a salmon, tagged in Cross Sound,
had travelled 900 miles in "a days
before being taken again.
Today's salmon story is about
much less ambitious king, one which
was caught four miles from the
place it was tagged.
The king was taken recently by
Harold E. Newman, who was troll
ing off Granite Point on Baker Is
land. The tag was returned to the
Alaska Department of Fisheriys
here, and the records showed the
salmon from which it was taken
was tagged So days before the sal
mon was caught again.
Walter Kirkness, fisheries de-
partment biologist, attached the tag
after the fish was caught on troll
ing gear in Veta Bay, about four
miles from the spot it was caught
the second time.

The safety play is generally aSso-
ciated in our minds with problems
that confront the declarer. But the
very same principles are applicable
to defensive strategy as well. A
somewhat unusual precautionary
measure was adopted by West in
today's hand to defeat a game con-
tract at no-trump that was all
but lin the bag"
To the opening diamond bid
South chose to respond with two
no-trump in preference to a tenn
porizing bid of one spade. Holding
a balanced hand and a point count
OF IA. he concluded that he could
tell the complete story in just
one bid. "a two-no-trump response
to an opening bid of one in. suit
describes hand ranging between
13 and IS points, the equivalent
of a normal opening bid
West made the orthodox opening
lead of the ten Of spades, the top
of an interior sequence. East won
with the king and returned the
jack, which declarer naturally
ducked. Had West reflexly played
low to this trick, and sat back in
his chair waiting for further lead
of the suit, he would have been in
for a bitter disappointment. East
simply couldn't oblige and declarer
would have had time to drive out
the ace of diamonds and assure
the taking of nine tricks.
West was willing to settle for
one-trick penalty and cheerfully
waived the additional 50-point rev.
enue that would accrue to him if
East happened to have another
spade. Just in case partner had no
more spades, he overlook the jack
with the ace and cleared the suit
while he still retained the ace of
diamonds for re-entry. 1t will be
seen that declarer could run only
eight tricks without resorting to
the diamond suit and when West

Uncle Rays Corner

Twenty-four years ago, a small
fishing village was in danger on the
island of Hawaii A thick stream
Of lava was coming down the side
Of a mountain, and it was heading
toward the village. The lava was
moving slowly, and there was plenty
of time for every person in the viii
lage to get out of the way.
The people found safe places, but
their homes were in the way Of the
lava. Some of them prayed to a
goddess named Pele, asking her to
spare the village. The goddess failed
to help them, however, and all the
houses were destroyed.
Pele has held place in the native
religion for hundreds of years. On
Hawaii, the largest island in the
Hawaiian group, there are several
active volcanoes. There has been a
strong belief among the natives that
Pele made the volcanoes erupt, and
would do so whenever she became
angry.
Another serious eruption of
Mauna Loa took place in 1912. This
time the lava started flowing toward
Hilo, a city with 10000 inhabitants.
Airplanes were sent up to observe
what was happening. Although it
seemed clear that the lava would
fail to reach the city, there was
danger that it would cover the area
from which Hilo got its water.
To meet that danger, bombs were
dropped in certain places, and little
mounds of soil and rock were
thrown up. This action changed
the course of the lava river, and
Hilo's water supply was saved. 1t
also made clear that airplanes would
do more than the goddess Pele to
spare the people of Hawaii from
harm.
Mauna Loa is beautiful, evenly
formed mountain. It rises two and
q half miles above sea level, and
slopes gently down to the ocean.
The lava cools along the way, but
chiefly on the surface. The inside
Of a stream stays very hot, and
great masses OF steam are produced
when the lava strikes water.
Mauna Loa has a twin volcano
known as Mauna Kea. This is a
little higher, but it Is less bulky
The amount of material in its cone
makes Mauna tLoa rank as the big.
gest volcano in the world.

got in, he cashed the setting trick.
Vests defensive safety play re-
ceived its just reward.
At trick two West could observe
that South had made a two-no-
trump response with an aceless
hand. He, therefore, decided that
1t was probable that declarer's
spade stopper was something bet
ter than the delicate protection
provided by Q-4-3. Furthermore,
unless South had five clubs it was
very doubtful that he could run
nine tricks without the diamond
suit. True enough, he could do
so if he happened to have four
hearts to the K-Q-J, but West felt
that this was improbable With
a major suit that good he would
very likely have made a temporiz-
ing one -over-one bid in preference
to two-no-trump response with
out an ace and with such a f1imsy
spade stopper.
Anyhow, his reasoning appeals
to me, and in case of a tie, we do
have results on our side.

Bakery InstaIIs Electric Ovens

New electric ovens have been installed in the Suttich Bakery, owner Jack Suttich announced this week. The oil ovens recent ly were partially destroyed, when a fire broke out in the walls near the bakery's chimney. Deterior- ated insulation between the ovens and the walls was thought to have caused the fire.
 Although firemen were prompt in answering the alarm, MT. Sut- itch estimated his loss at nearly $1,000. A part of the damage was due to water spoilage of flour and sugar supplies stored in the bakery.
