\TRS. TYNER DUGDALE left Washington hurriedly last week to
visit her brother and her attractive sister-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. John Gage Tyner, in New York. Now announcement is made
by Mr. and Mrs. Tyner of the birth of a son named for his father.
The last heard from Peggy Tyner Dugdale, who has an adorable
little daughter named Virginia, is that she is “thrilled over her
'' first nephew.” Little Virginia, who has inherited her mother's large
blue eyes and blond curls, with her mamma lives at the Shoreham.
Her grandmother, Mrs. Elonso Tyner, at present traveling abroad,
returns late in the fall and in the meantime, her daughter and
Eranddaughter are proving what a pleasant place Washington can
e during the summer on their miniature balcony gay with plants,
comfy chairs and two canaries!

TJNDER the haze of oppressive heat lies a constant ferment
of plans: Charles Ritchie of the Canadian Legation leaves
the end of August for a two month vacation in London; be
fore he entered the Diplomatic Service he lived in London
as a news scribe affiliated with Lord Beaverbrook. Mariano
Zuberbuhlcr of the Argentine Embassy will fly to California
on a vacation jaunt to see America, and as much of it in as
short a time as possible! Carlos Pereiera of the Chilean Em
bassy laill sail for home in the early fall, which means an ab
sence of several months, for when one lives in Chile a full
month goes in traveling time only. Michael Vyvyan of the
British Embassy, who scorns the comforts of modern civili
zation. prefers camping in a tent and taking canoe trips, often
lasting a week, will go to the Scandanaviari countries and un
doubtedly will pick the most difficult but most rugged means
of seeing them. Donald Dorcns may close his lovely place on
the Potomac, Doivnscrest, European bound.
Will Ryan, whom we all know, with the aid of his cooling sys
tem prefers Washington for a summer resort, has just acquired a
wonderful new cruiser, with much larger accommodations than
his former one the Panchaks. Nicholas Lely, of the Greek Legation,
knowm as “Nikky,” spends his free time in mental calisthenics
'’with Plato and Aristotle; considered an authority on the Greek
Ehilosophers and culture in general, it is a privilege to hear Mr.
ely recite their works or tell of the “Glory that w'as Greece.”
Charlie Aigle was forced to cancel his trip to Europe; Victor
Butro is still commuting weekends; Dick Hawrkins is playing at
amateur theatricals within the limited shore line of New Hamp
shire; Napier Parlato is pioneerings in self-housekeeping; Eugene
O’Dunne plans weekend excursions to the family seat in Blue
Ridge—and so it goes, the news of our friends.

QN MONDAY NIGHT Mr. G. Gould Lincoln celebrated his
birthday anniversary with a very small dinner at the Chevy
Chase Club. Its size in no way lessened its merriment though, and
the guests enjoyed themselves so much that at 10:45 they were
Etill at the dinner table. And later they were still enjoying them
selves so that the club had to close up to make them go home.
Mr. Lincoln's guests’ only regret as they left was that he
couldn't have four or five birthdays a year.

quite Instinctive to say that

the social whirl, is still in swing.
Some five hundred persons gathered

Socialist Republics last evening. Repre
sentatives of the diplomatic corps in
