NEWS OF PERSONS AND EVENTS IN THE SOCIAL LIFE OF WASHINGTON
Most Popular Summer Resort With
Washingtonians Is Washington
Many Fashionable Folk
Are Lingering on Here;
Find Entertainment and
Pleasant Companionship
Perhaps the most popular
summer resort with Wash
ingtonians this year is—
That may be a slight
exaggeration, but there are.
; ’ enough fashionable folk
lingering in town through
i the summer months to give
color to the statement.
Kelloggs Sticking
The Secretary of State and
Mrs. Kellogg are at Hot
Springs, Va M to remain over
the Fourth of July and may
; take an occasional week-end
:• trip later on, but they will be
I in town practically all sum-
• mer.
* It was denied at the Secre
; tary’s office a while ago that
•he and Mrs. Kellogg would
p spend their vacation in Mexico.
' but later the Secretary told
p friends that he was “consider
h ing” the project at the behest
h of the Ambassador of Mexico,
Senor Telles, and Dwight W.
fl Morrow, Ambassador of the
■’ United States to Mexico. But
? even if they should go, it would
, toot be until autumn, after the
return of President Coolidge
' from Wisconsin, for Secretary
Kellogg makes it a practice to
stay in town while the Chief
Executive is on his vacation.
Diplomata Linger
The Postmaster General and
Mrs. New are even now starting
back from Turtle Lake, Mich.,
where they have been for the
last fortnight, enjoying the hunt
ing and fishing. They are motor
ing through Canada and will
arrive in Washington Friday—to
be at Hemlock Hedge, their home
at. Edgemoor, Md., for the rest of
the summer. - •
• The Minister of Austria and
Mme. Prochnik are among the
diplomats for whom the city has
Bo terrors in summer. It is
their custom to remain in town
and they will do sq this year,
although they may slip away late
in the season tor a short motor
trip. They are fond of motoring
and have jolly times at Gibson
Island, the new Annapolis Beach
and Tennis Club and other,
pleasant resorts, which now con
tribute to the entertainment of
Washingtonians who are detain
ed in town.
The Minister of Guatemala and
Mme. Recinos have taken a tip
from some of our native Wash-
I ingtonians and instead of taking
. the summer legation to the moun
tains or the sea, have established
themselves at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. J. Ryan Devereux in Bradley
Lane, which they have leased for
the season. This house is one
of the loveliest in Chevy Chase,
with beautiful gardens and lawns
and somehow there is always ah
atmosphere of coolness about it.
“In Residence”
Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Charles
F. Summers!! are “in residence*’ at
Fort Myer and will remain there
all summer, except that the chief
of staff may slip away for an
occasional brief inspection trip.
They find Fort Myer a pleasant
place in summer and their
charming quarters are so placed
that they look off over the pano
rama of the city and catch every
breeze that blows. Just now, the
Summeralls are entertaining a
, house party, having as guests
Mrs. Summerall's sister, Mrs.
J. D. Miley, and Lieut, and Mrs
William Miley, who have just
arrived from the Philippines.
The Eberles—Rear Admiral and
Mrs. Edw'ard W. Eberle—are also
to be in town. They, too, have
a cool and pleasant home out in
the Cleveland Park section and
they find that Washington offers
more variety of entertainment
and more stimulating companion
ship than any summer resort they
have ever tried.
Mr. and Mrs. Lyman B. Ken
dall are at Kentsdale, their coun
try home in Bradley Hills, and
will remain until late in August,
when they may take a flying
trip to Europe. They have small
groups of guests to lunch or dine
with them two or three times a
week and Kentsdale is a favor
ite gathering place for those who
are detained in town. Mrs. Rose
Gouverneur Hoes, too, will be
here until late August, when she
and her con, Lawrence Gouver
neur Hoes, will take a motor
trip through New York State and
then go to Cape May for a short
holiday.
The Inseparables
Then, both Mrs. Thomas F.
Walsh and Mrs. John Allan
Dougherty are in town and expect
to be all summer. Even though
Mrs. Dougherty now has a house
of her own. after having lived with
Mrs. Walsh for a number of years,
the two ladies continue to see a
great deal of each other and go
about together much of the time.
Mrs. Dougherty is now very busy
with plans for the permanent
Thrift Shop which is to be run
here next year for the benefit of
child welfare work In the District,
and expects by autumn to have all
her committees lined up and all
the ground work laid. So she will
not go away, except for an occa
sional week-end trip unless the
city becomes unbearably hot.
Mrs. Walsh’s big house in Mas
sachusetts Avenue is delightfully
cool, and, moreover, the country
house she has been building on a
“heaven kissing hill,” overlooking
the Bradley Hills road, is just
about ready for occupancy, and
she can move in whenever the
spirit moves her.
