That par- ticular part of the Old Dominion is full of - the quaintest and most | delightful lore .of a period preceding and following the Civil War | and were they of a mind to do so they could be regaled with yards and yards of ghost and other mythical folk tales. MAJ. GEN. AND MRS. GEORGE BARNETT the former, comman- dant of the Marine Corps during the Woild War and until Maj. Gen. Lejeune returned fresh from the battlefields of France dripping with glory, are also quite fortunate in their house parties, as no hurry- | up calls are sent out, but, indeed, there is a waiting list of those who | are wanting to be guests. i HEIR estate, Wakefield Manor, at Huntley, Va., is an ancient one and one of the most beautiful in the State. There every week end Gen. and Mrs. Barnett have from 10 to 20 guests to visit them. They ride, walk, swim, play tennis and otherwise amuse themselves. Of course, there is music and dancing as Mrs. Barnett, though a grandmother, is one of the gayest women at the Capital. This week | they have diplomats, cfficials and lesser lights at ‘Wakefield Manor. where she has just had completed a new swimming pool furnished by mountain springs, where a promenade, artistic benches and other | things add to the natural beauty of the place. H 'WITH the water almost like ice water, Mrs. Barnett and the general take their early morning piunge there regardless of temperature. turned the old pool, which was not ccnspicuously placed, over to the servants for their use, and it is also the favorite swimming hole for small boys of the neighborhood. Another attracticn at Wakefleld Manor is the dog cemetery, where are buried besides Tige, a famous Marine mascot, more than 20 othur pedigreed pets, each with a tombstone telling their history and where flowers grow to peautify the place. MRS. BARNETT is a busy woman in Virginia, for besides having her grandchildren with her, four of them, she furnishes and makes all of the trousseaus for the poor brides for many miles around—girls who are not able to buy wedding finery. GARDENS are decidedly the mcst attractive points of vantage in Washington at this season a‘:ui one of the famous old gardens offering unusual attraction just how is that at the national head- quarters of the Woman’s Party on Capitol Hill, where Tuesday evening a snappy farce, “It Might Have Been,” will be presented. Mrs. Rebekah Greathouse, assistant United States attorney, is the author of the play, and other attractions to which the garden is adapted will, be shown. Miss Ruby Black will speak on “Women in Professions.” ! OSSDHU, in Braemar Forest, the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun, will present a gay aspect Wednesday afternoon when the mistress of the mansion will be hostess to the National League of American Pen Women, who have arranged a bridge party for the benefit of the league. No more beautiful spot in the vicinity of Washington could be found than this, and several hundred guests jare expected to enjoy the beauties of the place. ‘The; | mar Forest. 1 Executive embers | Of President's Family f Off for Holidays, ter—Secretary Mellon Re- turning — Other Cabinet Plans.

Word of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge is al- ways_eagerly received in the National Capital where she has a host of close friends and innumerable Many members of official life have visited the former Chief Executive and Mrs. Coolidge in their home in North- ampton, Mass. In fact, there are few who knew the former President and his charming wife in Washington who fail to call and pay their respects when in the vicinity of their home. One of the most recent visitors at Northampton is Mys. Borah, wife of Senator Willlam E. Borah of Boise, Idaho, who stopped off to call on Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge while on a motor trip through New England. Mrs. Coolldge enthusiastically asked about many of her friends in Wash- ington and expressed with much ardor how greatly she missed them. Mrs. Borah found the former First Lady a bit more slight, but even more lovely than when she last saw her. There was a touch of sorrow and anxiety in her handsome face, which is due, of course, to the serfous illness of her mother, Mrs. Elmira Goodhue. Mrs. Coolidge was wearing a becoming frock in one Good | of her favorite hues, a rich rose color georgette crepe, quite simply fashioned. Characteristic of the former First Lady of the Land, she gave Mrs. Borah and her party a happy picture to take on thelr way—for when her guests were departing she accompanied them to the front porch and stood there waving her hand until the motor car in which they rode was out of sight. Just another evidence of the charming personality and thoughtfulness which endears her to the hearts of all who are fortunate enough to know and meet her. The former Chief Executive and Mrs. Coolidge are remalning close to their home this Summer to be near and in calling distance on Mrs. Goodhue whose condition shows little improvement. Mrs. Coolidge will spend a‘few hours away from Northampton September 7, when she will echristen the cruiser Northampton to be launched at Quincy, Mass.
