Admiral Willard Back In Post at Navy Yard On Familiar Ground (Continued from Fourth Page.) closure, is spacious and excellently arranged, and to the back and side is a well planted garden, where every variety of Fall flowers bloom in per- fection. The porches are the delight of Admiral and Mrs. Willard for they like life in the open and among their pets on the verandah is a pair of black and yellow South American orioles, whose soft warbling makes a delight- ful accompaniment to the voices of their guests. Admiral Willard comes from a well known family of Maryland, the mem- bers of which migrated more than a century ago from the southern coun ties to Kentucky and later into Mis sourl. The admiral was born in Kirks- ville in the northwestern part of Mis- sourl and despite the wanderings im- posed on a naval officer, he has main- tained his home there all the years since he graduated in 1891 from An- napolis.

She also was born in Kirksville and was before her marriage Miss Isabel Eli- son, daughter of a much-revered ju- rist of that section, Judg Andrew EIl- son. Admiral and Mrs. Willard have an only daughter, Mrs. John H. Cald- well of Omaha, Nebr. Since the commandant of the Navy Yard is an outstanding figure in the soclal world at the Capital, many are glad that the new incumbent and his wife are both gracious in manner and hospitable in habit and that the tradi- tional amenities will not recede under their regime. Mrs. Willard spent the past Spring in Paris and she enjoyed her sojourn in every sense, and the weather in May and June, so cold and forbidding on the Western side of the Atlantic, was balmy and delight- ful and the city was well filled with Americans, many of them old friends. Since the admiral and Mrs. Willard are now engaged in having the neces- sary Winter touches given to their new home, she will not begin to keep her reception day on Mondays until aft A Smart New Shoe for Fall Willard also is a de-| THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, SEPTEMBER 25, 1927_PAR' BACK FROM EUROPE - MISS ADELAIDE DOUGLAS, Daughter of Mrs. David H.

STONY MAN CAMP, SKYLAND, Va., September 24.—The charm of the Autumn season is still weaving its spell at Skyland, causing earlier ar- rivals to linger on indefinitely and bringing additional ones up to the camp almost dally. Life in conse- quence is continuing its usual happy trend atop of old Stony Man Moun- tain, with horseback riding and moun- tain climbing taking in neighboring peaks and ridges, and tennis matches on the tennis courts in camp (much enlarged and improved this year), as the leading daytime occupations. In the evening, besides the customary dances and card parties still on the weekly program, are corn roasts and other unique entertainments which have helped to make Skyland famous. The special highlight of the past week was the annual allday picnic trip to Crescent Rock. The move from camp began shortly after break- fast with the start of the great four- horse wagon, laden with the big army range and varlous other equipment for cooking on the grounds the elaborate dinner, which is the special feature of such occasions. Following the wagon went a retinue of colored cooks, waiters, musicians and such other of the employes of the camp as could be spared. The guests left later on horseback, afoot and in vehicles, according to individual con- venience. The entire assemblage, however, contrived to foregather at the common rendezvous on the gi- gantlc rock, rising like a crescent upon the peak of one of Stony Man's sister mountains and commanding a mag- nificent view over about 40 miles or more of the surrounding country, in good time for dinner. This was served hot from the fires built at the base of the rock, and included the famous fried chicken, unanimously voted un- equaled elsewhere or upon any other occasion; roasting ears from the Sky- land gardens, Old Virginia bacon and biscults, with all the usual “trim. mings,” topped off by ice cream and cake. Then there was singing of plantation melodies and banjo play- ing by the waiters, until the view trom the rock glorified into a gor- geous sunset, and the participants wended their way back over an old Indian trail of three forest miles back to the home camp. Among those pres- ent were: Judge D. D. Bowen, M Bowen and Miss Betty Bowen, Miam Mr. and Mrs. George Freeman Pollick, Skyland and Washington; Mrs. George H." Judd, Miss Margaret Winship, Capt. and Mrs. E. B. Fenner, Prof. B. Frank Gebest, Mrs. George Element Judd, Mr., Seymour Cragin, Miss Eliza- beth Engle, Mr. H. C. Anderson, Mr. Martin F.
