LEAR FRIENDS

There comes a
time, twice each
year, when social
things get to
the low ebb point, and as I
look over the book in which
1 keep my notes for this col
umn, I think this must be the
time. House cleaning, garden
ing, trips and so on, seem to
claim the attention Of folks
rather than in door things.
These last few days have been
the kind that make one want
to take curtains and draperies
down and let in the cool air.
Many have the desire to get
their yards in shape so that
the enjoyment can be all the
more in the later weeks.
others think this is the right
month to have a trip. And so
it goes.
Speaking of trips calls to
mind Major and Mrs, George
T. Macklin. They left on Sat
urday for the west coast, driv-
ing and taking with them their
dog. Major Macklin will soon
be on his way to the Far East
and then Mrs. Macklin will re-
turn east and await the time
when he will send for her.
They have been enjoying a
leave here in Delaware with
friends and families. Another
traveller is Miss Catherine
Downing, who is getting quite
excited about her flight to
England on Sunday. 1t bears
repeating that she will visit
many places of interest in
Great Britain and will be in
London for the coronation Of
the lovely Elizabeth. Our in
terest in the things that hap
pen to such friends is keen and
we like to look forward to the
time Of their safe return here.
Mr.. and Mrs. August Faix
had a trying experience last
week. They were in Washing
ton to meet their daughter,
Mrs. John J. Brown and her
two daughters, who were to
arrive in that city and come
on here for a visit. To add to
the experience, the rain des-
cended furiOusly, after they
had parked their care quite
nearby, and they were maroon
ed in the station for some
time. After the arrival Of theii
guests and they we're ready tt
return home, their car could
not be found, and after quite ;
bit of investigation, aided b!
the police, they decided it real
ly had been stolen and iti
whereabouts still remains al
unsolved problem. Calling
home to their son, Tom, h
came with his car and the
got back to Milford just abou
the time the sun was read
to make another day, and the
had another experience for tn
book.
