built in 1888, rests on the
stone piers of the 1874 span.
1t was near Chain Bridge,
on the Virginia side, that John
Randolph and Henry Clay
fought their bloodless duel on
April 8, 1926. The only damage
was a bullet hole in Ran

the shooting stopped.
1t was an important artery
during the Civil War. On the
Vanderwerken estate, a short
distance from the bridge on
the Virginia side, Gen. w. S.
Hancock had his headquarters.
On the Maryland side,
special gun emplacementS
were set up to protect the
bridge from the Confederate

It's hard to imagine that
cultured, poised and smartly
dressed Lady Caccia ever
worked in factory.
But the wife of the new Brit
ish Ambassador, Sir Harold
Caccia, was no exception to
the millions of British women
who made similar contributions
during World War II.
Interviewed at a tea which
turned into a press conference
yesterday. Lady Caccia ex-
planned that the duties at the
factory were those Of a prog
ress-chaser."
What's that?" the reporters
asked in unison and Lady Gao
cha said, "Oh I'm sure you
know what that is. it sounds
frightfully American"
1t turns out that a progress
chaser" is one who goes around
checking on bottlenecks, etc.
did you crack the whip?"
a reporter asked.
well, no." she confessed, IT
found it was much better to
use ones sex appeal-a smile
and a nice word seemed to be
the best approach"
x x X x
LADY CACCIA admitted this
was her first press conference,
but if she was nervous, it was
not apparent, and her subtle,
understated British sense of
humor carried her through
with flying colors.
Her special interest is paint
ing-she does portraits pri-
marily and plans to become
an habitue of WaShington's
famous art galleries.
She and Sir Harold both love
to dance and are fond of music,
as well.
During the interview, her
youngest daughter, Antonio,
age 8. appeared, but the olde.
children, David 20, and Clar-
issa II. are abroad.

NEXT YEAR, however, it's
very likely there will be a belle
at the British Embassy.
Daughter ClariSsa, now study
ing in Florence, will be pre-
sented to London society next
spring and then come to Wash
ington where she will probably
make her debut as well.
A miniature of Clarissa
shows her to be a great beauty
very blond and she'll doubt
less be a great success in
Washington.
I'm THE LAST PERSON
in the world who hadn't been
to America before" Lady Cac-
cia laughed when asked if this
was her first visit here.
She says she's been pleas
antly surprised by many
things-the size of Wash
ington; the feeling that the
city has been built in a forest:
the architecture, which she
had thought would be very
modern.
"The shops, too, are more
like European ones than I had
thought. 1t rather coy to
see little untidy ones here
and there" she said.
The tense international
situation, she found, has had
no effect on the warm wei.
come she's found here.
Asked how to heal the
breach" in Anglo-American
relations, she said: Among
the women and friends I have
met here I haven't found any
breach to be healed"
The Caccias, like their pred
eceSsors, plan to travel ex-
tensively in all parts of the
United States and are already
making plans to visit Texas
in the spring.
