PooIesviIIe, Implanted Montgomery Village,
Is Delight to Lovers of Antiquity

to own the place is DR.. Byron
D. White of Frederick. He found
that it was too far to commute
to his practice.
Another house Of the same
type Of stone is Valhalla, to the
left Of the road on the way to
Poolesville from Washington. It
was built about 1900 by a man
named Fremont Jones. It is now
owned by Col. F. f. Bernsdorf,
U. S. A. (retired). Col. Berns-
dorff's father, who was born in
this country, was a first cousin of
the German Ambassador, Count
Won Bernsdorff. who was sent
home by President Wilson in 1917.
No doubt exists as to the date of
construction of one house near
Poolesville. It is a splendid brick
structure to the west of the road
between Poolesville and Bealls-
vile. Its present owner. Mrs.
Beryl E. Gray, now calls it Gray
haven Manor. The date is on
the chimney-1796.
Montanverde, a white frame
house near Poolesville, built about
1872 by one of the Peters and now
owned by Frank P. Harman, jr.,
vice president Of the Hamilton
National Bank, has both a Lin
coin room and a ghost. Lincoln
visited the place when he was a
Whig member of Congress in 1848.
The story is that he persuaded
Maj. George Peter, a Democratic
Congressman, to support the Whig
candidate, Gen. Zachary Taylor,
against the Democratic nominee,
Lewis Cass. History records that
Taylor got all the Maryland elec-
toral votes.
AS to the ghost, there is a story
that Mr.. Farquhar got from Mr..
Harman, the banker. The story
is that Maj. Peter had his last
glass of toddy brought to his bed
by a servant each night and that
after he downed it, he would throw
the empty glass into the fireplace.
When Mr.. Harman purchased the
place he was discussing some work
to be done in the living room with
a local mechanic. They both
heard a crash and tinkling of glass
upstairs.
"Oh," said the mechanic as if it
were nothing, "that's just Mai.

Debut Parties Galore Causing the Stos of Each to Take

Thanksgiving turkeys and

things on the minds of several
of the Capitals young beauties

The usual festivities will take
second place to many debut
parties.
Households that in years gone
by have busted themselves with

pings exclusively will find this
season also a furry of tulle and
guest lists. But with this SAM
pie OF seven debutantes, glamour
is bound to be the outcome.
One, who cannot be typified
by any single word such as
athletic" feminine" "arty"
or "buSinesslike" is Miss Su-
zanne Eakin. Take a little of
each of these qualities, combine
them carefully. age for about

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
r. Eakin.
Chevy Chase Club Dance
The big day for her will be
December 26 when her parents
will give a dance in her honor at
the Chevy Chase Country Club.
The party will be strictly for
Suzanne's friends.
Miss Eakin is a graduate of
the Georgetown Visitation Con-
vent and now is in her fresh
man year at Bennett Junior
College in Millbrook, N. Y.
Diversified interests are shown
in that she is studying liberal
arts and business and finance.
She's obviously one young lady
VINO will not be at loss for
words on almost any subject.
This week end, however, pleasure
takes over and she is visiting
Princeton University for the

This tall blue-eyed blond even
goes from one extreme to an
other in the type of clothes she
likes. The favorites seem to be
old tweed suits and brand-neW
frothy evening dresses!
Twin Debutontes
Debutantes in duplicate will
be twin sisters. the Misses
Marilyn and Sandra Whitlock,
better known as Judy and
Sandy. They are the daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas Whit
lock.
Thinking in numbers these
two girls will be presented at a
series of parties. The first one is
the third annual Debutante
Cotillion and Thanksgiving Ball
on November q. Earlier in the
