Being the great-grandson of the re- vered Willlam W. Corcoran, his prow- 1ss on the polo field is a matter of local pride. Mrs. Hitchcock, who was Louise Eustis, passed her childhood In the famous old mansion known as Corcoran House—torn down to make room for the National Chamber of | Commerce—under her grandfather's care, and she was married there almost 30 years ago. ¥hat victorious | No social organizations have grown In numbers and importance like the | State societies.
