The Minister of the Netherlands and Mme. Van Haersma de With are the latest of the diplomats to choose Bluemont, Va., 60 miles from Washington, for the Summer legation. They have feased the home of Mrs. Charles Smith, which is about 3 miles up the mountain from Bluemont itself and overlooks the Shenandoah Valley. The place-is close to the quaint 1ik_tle chapel built some years 8go by Miss ‘Grace Brouse and Miss Minnie Brouse, the latter now Mrs. Josef Kaspar, who were pioneers on this mountain. Mr. Kaspar spent his Summers at Mont Salvat, his place above what was then Snickers’ Gap, when the railroad stopped at Round Hill. Mrs. Kaspar, whose place adjoins the little chapel, yecently sold it to Mr. Lioyd B. ‘Wilson ©f Washington, who will build shortly. ‘Not so many years back there was wmuch discussion of making Moun Weather, 8 or 10 miles from Blue- mont, the Summer White House and bullding there a permanent home for the Chief Executive for hot weather. When former President and Mrs. MHoover were looking for altitude and accessibility to Washington, the talk was revived, but when the Rapidan camp was selected Mount ‘Weather was abandoned as a refuge for Pres- Bdents. The site, atop the mountain, overlooking both the Loudoun and Clarke County Valleys, is the highest point in the vicinity and the Weather Bureau - established a station there many years ago. Roads being passable only by horse, the station remained isolated.

Carpenter of Wash- fington; the commercial secretary of the British Embassy and Mrs. Hey- wood, who will have the place of Mr. and Mrs, Rathbone Smith, and the pepal delegate, the Right Rev. lAmleto Giovanna Cicognani, who has taken Valley Vista, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter A. Drury.

Former Representative and Mrs. Joseph H. Himes of Ohio and the former secre- tary to the President, Mr. Everett Banders, are among those who have placés in the Maryland hills, and still others have gone toward St. Marys City, the first capital of Mary- Jand, a picturesque spot near the mouth of the Potomac River.
