J^VERY one is “on the move” this time of the year it seems to us!
The lucky persons who have lovely country places are departing
within the next few weeks for the entire Summer; others who have
rather warm apartments or are in hotels are moving into large
houses with gardens in and near the city, while many are off on
cruises. The other evening the Breckinridge Longs told of their
plans to take the North Cape cruise on the Kungsholm, which give»
them a few days in Russia.
Other “movers'’ include the young Robert P. Joyces and
the popular Mariana Sands. The three of them have taken
Bill Donovan’s house at Thirtieth and R streets for the Sum
mer, which we have already told you. The Joyces are already
installed and Mrs. Sands will move there from the 1929 F
Street Club on Friday. We all anticipate many nice evenings
in that beautiful cool garden! Bob Joyce is in the State
Department and Mrs. Joyce is the most exquisite little person,
she looks like a Botticelli, and it seems quite inconsistent to
hear her speak of golf and 7 o'clock in the morning horse,
back riding!

MR- AND MRS- ° H- PERRY JOHNSON have had visiting
for the past few months, their daughter. Mrs. Elizabeth
Whitaker. Better known to Washington as "Purdy” Johnson, Mrs.
Whitaker was one of the outstanding debutantes of her year. Soon
after her debut she married Malcomb Whitaker and they went
to live In Paris. She is tall and blond and lived for many years
on the continent, and early in the Fall she will return to Paris,
which will be welcomed news to her many friends there.
Mr. and Mrs. Lenoard Block will sail from Baltimore on
July twenty-third bound for a visit in England where they
will stop with Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Miller of our Foreign
Sennce, at present stationed in London. The Millers have
rented a lovely estate not far from London and have offered
their guest house to the Blocks, who plan to stay a month.
Then they will head for the Emerald Isle, arriving just in
time for the Dublin Horse Show:. While in Ireland they will
stay with Reginald C. Daly of Dublin. The Block juniors
will go along, and later in the Summer will be sent, to pay a
rnsit with Fraulein Schmidt’s family in Germany. Whereupon
Betty and Leonard, free from responsibility, will take a little
’r^n0rL continent, all of which sounds glorious, and we
shall expect to welcome them back in the laic Fall.
Robert "Bob" Hinckley, son of the late Mrs. Robert Hinckley,
was in town for a flying visit last week. Formerly in thp State De
partment, Bob retired several years ago to follow the dictates of a
realtor s career in Florida. We understand that he will return
later in the Summer for a longer sojourn.
AND
B\ JHE WAY. Edward Roosevelt, cousin of the President, who
has done splendid work for the New York World's Fair, is in town
for a few days. He has been appointed New York World’s Fair
Commissioner for Latin America and in the next five months will
visit, by air, twenty-three different South American and Central
American countries!
It sounded like the most thrilling trip and we envied,
him—especially when they spoke of'the climate of Chile
(which is perfect, we hear), flying down to Rio and all the
fascinating things we would love to do. The exposition made
a happy choice in Mr. Roosevelt—he is a splendid linguist
and a most charming person.
