The diplomatic and By the Way— Beth Blaine ALL our friends who have returned from a Summer of traveling, there is no one whose experiences are as interesting, and in some cases as exciting, as those of Mr, Dwight Davis’ younger daughter Helen. She narrates, in the most casual way, of being caught in a flood which resulted in a 3-hour motor drive lasting three days before they reached their destination. They lived through it all in spite of being soaked to the skin, after the car in which they were driv- ing was submerged in a torrent of water, spending the nights in a hut and surviving on the frugal fare of three very tired chickens divided between about 30 people! Then there was the night spent on a boat in the Black Bea, when Helen shared a cabin with six peasants—beginning with grandpa with a long white beard (not so white, really) and ending up with the young- est born of the family, a babe in arms! Also, there was the trip on a train in Russia in the compartment with three soldiers whose knowledge of the English language was very slight, but who wished to be kind and friendly and opened the conversation with, “Why is your face so dirty?” This ques~ tion Helen says, was quite apropos as her face was definitely filthy! With their combined efforts the soldiers asked her what her salary was, how many unemployed there were in her city and many more questions of life in America, We could go on and on with anecdotes, but our advice is to get the whole story from Helen in person. Cynthia Davis was with her sister part of the time, also Beatrice Kellogg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris W. Kellogg of New York. Cynthia should be here any day now for she landed in New York last week. In their meander- ings they went to Rome, where they saw Louis Mitchell, who seems to be thoroughly enjoying his iife there—Louis has removed his mustache! In Moscow they saw Charlie Thayer, the brother of Mrs. Chip Bohlen, who is at our embassy, and in another country, Dudley Brown, who was in Wash- ington for a couple of years in the A. A. A, turned up and a crowd of them took a trip togesber, which included a good deal of bicycling. The Dwigh ©Bvis family are now settled in the Ray Baker house on Foxhall road. It has been beautifully decorated and furnished, as all Mrs. Davis’ houses are, for she definitely has the magic touch and a real talent for making a place attractive. * k% ATURDAY in Warrenton, with horse show in full swing, was gay, good fun, and hectic, too. All around were friends—Nancy Leiter, Audrey Campbell, Mary Cootes, with her house guest, Count Villabrossa; the Bayne Castles, Bradish Johnson from New York, Hugh Spilman, Taylor Hardin, Bill McComb, Bill Russell, Virginia Randolph, the Chaffraix Le Longs, Vire ginia Watts from Baltimore—endless familiar faces from far and near, one could go on and on enumerating them. The red rubber boots on the horses caused much interest and amuse- ment, as every one, in the unhorsey set, had different ideas as to why they were being worn! The setting is perfect, with the white stables, the green ring and the lovely countryside, and especially when the day turned out so well with a beautiful sunset thrown in. There was plenty of color, too, with pink-coated gentlemen all about and the Warrenton Country Day School girls dressed in their lavender uniforms, After the show there were several places to go, for Mrs. A. M. Ran- . the D. T. Days and Capt. and Mrs. Harold Smith all had cocktail s. Then in the evening every one again met up-at the dance in the old gray stone house of the Harrison Nesbitts. There we encountered more friends, including Polly Tyler, Joseph Stinson, Jack Keith, Cyril Harrie son, Si Whitney, Harold Fangboner, Mary Cowles, Bony Close and Jim Keith.
