At city council meeting February
Is, motion carried agreeing to deed
over the Helbig land for $1.0O for the
hospital site. Organizations and many
individuals continued to express their
support. Even offers to contribute
funds and to furnish rooms for the
proposed hospital were made and let
tiers continued to pour in. Some
money was actually contributed at
this time.
A study Of costs of hospital con-
struction was made by the committee.
On March 10, 1916, the Commits
sioners announced they would accept
the conditions of the will and John
W. Herman, president, said formal

The need for additional funds for a
suitable hospital became apparent as
planning for the hospital continued.
Preliminary plans for the hospital

Washington architect, were approved
January l, 1947. They originally
called for three-story 40-paticnt

How to Take Slow Trip to Maryland;
SocioIites Move From House to House
By Betty BeoIe

Of ground around it out on Rock
vile pike, No. 1851 to be. exact,
formerly owned by the Richard
Hawkins, jrs. Dick and Christine,
the former "Teenie" Ekengren,
acquired it five years ago when
they came here from foreign serv-
Ice duty in Australia. Now Dick
is First Secretary at our Embassy
in Lima, Peru.
Currently up to their ears in
painters and carpenters, the Cliff
fords will move in just as soon as
possible. Marry went up to New
York last week to buy some furni-
ture for it and will dash out to
st. Louis this coming week to
decide which of their things there
will fit into the new and permanent
Clifford household.
The c. Thomas Clagett, jrs., are
selling their Newport house, Wild
acre. on Ocean avenue. Nancy c.
and her close friend, Maggie VIM
satt, took the Friday night train
up to the No. resort to get the
house ready for sale and to move
some of the things to the cottage
the ClagettS have rented for this
summer.
The ClagettS are giving up Wild
acre because it takes seven SER
wants to run it and they haven't
spent the whole summer there
since Tom opened the Laurel Race
way. The house they have rented
is only half block from Baileys
Beach, has five bedrooms and
three baths, but is a cottage" TO
Newport standards.
Capital society will. f1guratively
speaking, let its hair down from
/ till midnight on May 20 when
the Junior League stages an out
door carnival on Mrs. Anne Arch
bold's estate. 1nvitationS-snappy
looking ones that Mimi Allen drew
with the help of Patrick Henry
Hume-have gone out to league
members and friends and to that
particular group Of Washing
tonians who used to. dance their
feet off at the annual Christmas
holiday party that Mrs. Archbold
gave for her sons.
Lisette Beauregard is chairman
of the whole to-do which will dish
up q pet show, hayrick rides,
merry and all kinds of
games for children. Mary Huide-
koper is in charge of the $3.50
fried chicken box supper and dec
orative Cecilia McGhee will do
the decorating. "Bonga" Barton,
daughter of Mrs. c. C.. Hartigan
and niece of novelist Kathleen
Norris, is making a raft of won-
derful little dollhouses.
In the evening there will be
square dancing, round dancing
and a comedy fashion show of
Tristan Bior" styles. Men are
going to model, too, so yours truly
naturally agreed to do the COM
'mentating.

People have been going to the
Maryland Hunt Cup races for
years. People will continue to go
in the future, but it is doubtful
if anybody ever has or ever will
take as long to make the 11a-hour
trip as we did last Saturday. We
took the short cut" We followed
Philadelphian-an old Maryland
Hunt man from way back, and
apparently Philadelphians don't
like Baltimore, because he insisted
on avoiding it. He had all the
food and a case Of champagne in
the back seat of his car, so we
threw our maps out the window
and never let his car out of sight.
We started out by entering
lovely Rock Creek Park and a half
hour later emerged at upper Six
teenth street at a point any one
of us native WaShingtonianS could
have reached in Is minutes-but
the champagne was still in view.
Next we headed for Ellicott City,
only there was a beautiful new
road somewhere nearby that
avoided Ellicott City, so we took
that. The next time I motor to
Richmond, Va, I must remember
to take the Hudson River parkway.
They say it's lovely.
Every Is minutes, just to be
sure that we were taking the
right short cut, we stopped at a
gas station and made inquiries
at least our Philadelphian did; we
simply waited with our eyes glued
to the rear of his ear. It's nice
to be sure, Of course. He found
another car going to the hunt so
he gleefully announced that we
would follow him. That safari
lasted as far as the first traffic
light where, horror of horrors, we
lost the champagne car!
So we stopped and asked the
way again. Why not? We'd been
doing it for two hours. But we
didn't follow instructions-noth-
ing so simple as that! Instead we
followed another car with yell
low hunt sticker on the wind
shield. blandly hoping that it
wasn't left over from last year.
OF course. We had no way Of
knowing that he was going to stop
and do some marketing on the
way. We parked behind him and
did some, too-starvation had al
ready set in. Believe 1t or not
he really did go to the hunt and
we brought up the rear a half
hour later exhausted but tri-
umphant and in time for the one
and only 15-minute race Of the
day. How the mere male ever
led us through the war-I1l never
know!
