THE Washington Club of George- town University, its ranks aug- mented by many recruits from the freshmen class, is taking on new life this year. Fortunate in having a Washingtonian as its faculty moder- ator, Rev. Stephen F. McNamee, S. J., the club is preparing a busy season of social and campus activities. More than any other factor in re- cent years the Washington Club has brought the day students into close contact with campus life, and with the steady increase in local students at Goergetown its membership also has been strengthened. Its first ac- tivity this Fall was a tea dance for more than 50 Washington freshmen. Newly elected officers of the club are: Joseph Dawson, president; Carl- ton Gartner, vice president; George Fleury, secretary; John Flynn, treas- urer; Arthur Marsh, corresponding secretary, and William Gwynn, di- rector of publicity. A Thanksgiving dance is being arranged and numer- ous events will be held during the year. The exodus to New York for the annual game with New York Univer- ity was one of the largest in recent years. New York alumni had planned & rousing reception for the team, and practically every one able to leave the Hilltop, besides a large representation of local alumni, made the trip, in- cluding the president. Approximately 230 students of Georgetown are being aided this year by the National Youth Administra- tion. They are employed on many useful projects in the Riggs Library, the foreign office and law libraries, the president’s office, registrar's office and intramural athletics.

The school will operate this year in association with the new Washing-, THE SUNDA Portrait Photographer Is Mrs. Morton Kent in Private Life. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. AN a woman successfully com- bine marriage, home, & career and the raising of & family? “Yes,” smilingly affirms Peggy Duffy, portrait photographer professionally, and Mrs. Morton E. Kent, wife of a lawyer, and mother of 1 onths-old Joyce Kent. That is,” she adds, “if you happen, as I did, to have chosen the kind of a career which permits your motivating it in a home, and the kind of a hus- band who not only likes having you go on with what he found you doing pro- fessionally when he first met you, but who feels with his co-operation that you are privileged to manage the baby end of it in the way that will make for the greatest happiness of all con- cerned. It just happens that I am one of the lucky careerists and home- makers in both choices.” We haven't met the husband, but we are inclined to believe so0, too, from our glimpse of the studio-home. Certainly there were no doubts about the happiness and health of dimpled little Joyce when we first met down- stairs in front of 1640 Connecticut avenue shortly after 9:30 o'clock one morning last week as her mother was merrily seeing her off for her peram- bulator ride with her devoted colored nurse. We purposely lingered before ask- ing for directions to Peggy Duffy’s studio. “I am she” said Joyce's mother, “and I'll take you up myself if you will just wait until we conclude this animated good-by.” Once the small daughter was on her way for her morning airing, the maternal vanished in the gracious hostess and the artistic professional woman who led the way to the third- floor apartment. Sunset streamed through golden hangings in a spacious room whose walls were as nearly white as ivory walls can be. The mantel over an honest-to-goodness fireplace is graced by two rare old altar candlesticks, the handiwork of a Spanish craftsman of the long ago. On the wall over the PEGGY DUFFY. fireplace hangs a. water color, “The Seamstress,” by Clara Saunders. The opposite wall is quite bare, purposely 50, because it serves as the back- ground for the portrait siitings which have to do with the professional side of the “three-in-one personality who is its presiding genius. On the sidé walls are a series of rare old Japanese prints. There are unusu- ally comfortable chairs for a studio in modern note with white leather upholstering and chromium fittings. An unobtrusive desk, & camera on & tripod and two movable high-power | | ights complete the studio aspect. The | home child note slips into the picture with a «child’s chair and playtnings nearby as indication that Joyce uses this fine big room, too, when her mother and she are having the good times together. Fireplace in Room. Opening out of the studio room 1is another gracious room of fine pro- portions with still another real fire- place, for this apartment was once an upper floor of a fine home when Connecticut avenue was the boule- vard of fashion and Massachusetts avenue, its present elite successor, was still only a road which led to the open countryside beyond. Here every- thing is distinctively pitched to the home note with a charming restful- ness that invites your soul to calm. Beyond we glimpsed Joyce’s crib and the intimacies of daily living. On the walls of the long hall, which links all of the apartment’s rooms, hang pictures of distinguished folk from Washington's residential and diplomatic circles and interesting men and women from different parts of our country who have sat before Miss Duffy’s camera. Particylarly since her own little daughter’s arrival, Miss Duffy said she had been thinking more and more about the tendency away from pic- tures in the American home, and is wondering whether it is sufficient to have children depend entirely upon the pictures which they only occa- sionally see in art galleries and in school collections. “In our home when we were all growing up together, I suppose the Beginning Classes Start Secretarial November 2nd Burroughs Calcylating Machine Comptometer ~ October 26th Day and Evening Sessions Evening Classes 5to7and7t09 Positions for graduates Wood's School 710 14th St. N.W.

Yet, whenever-I now see and study a really fine original that was the basis of those reproductions, I have that sense of pleasure which comes from renewing a cherished friendship of long standing.” Miss Duffy's only Washington elub connection is with the Arts Club in whose exhibitions she has taken part and in which she is naturally much in- terested. In response to our question, “How did you evolve into a portrait pho- tographer?” the answer flashed back with a display of dimples that left no doubt as to who is responsible for her little daughter's companion ones. “Immediately from a position as an X-ray technician in the Doctors’ Hos=- | pital in New York City, plus one year {in a nurse's training school, another in social service work and the one before that in specialization for & business career after my graduation from the Notre Dame Convent in New York, I kept changing viewpoints and professions, you see, largely as I have since come. to know, because I was pursuing some instinct at self- expression that just would not subside until I was helped to stumble upon it through the medium of developing | X-ray exposures at the hospital” Studied With Rabinowitch. “Then,” continued our careerist, “after hours I began eagerly special- izing in the profession that claims a part of my life by completing the course under Rabinowitch ,at the Rabinowiteh Art School in New York, twb other photographers, are the ones which have been awarded the distinction of being hung at the Met- ropolitan Museum. “The photographic lens which I use in my portraié photography,” she LERRY S Advanced SCHOOL OF WASHINGTON 1343 H St. N.W.

Rembrandt, as well as many moderns, have emphasized the char- acter and personality of individuals against a background of light and shadow, so our school i only trying to do with the camera what has long been done with paleite and brush. “Cooking,” she volunteered, “isn't one of my greatest assets, I must truthfully admit, although I have found that certain of the ready-to- mix preparastions of the present era have taken the bugaboo out of biscuit and cake-making and other culinary feats, “From the career side, my greatest handicap is that I really do love to keep & home shining and making this arrangement or that toward keeping the - household moving smoothly. “My husband has been & tremendous help in teaching me to spend my time wisely and in endeavoring to empha- size relative values. The real feat, of course, is to keep the balance be- tween the important and the seemingly 80, which, of course, is the rub in any form of productivity, no matter what its nature.” “What do you think the woman who expresses herself in both a home and a career, especially when she combines the two under one roof, has most to avoid?” was our next ques- tion. After & moment or two of re- flectfon Mrs. Kent, the hostess, said: “I believe I would center on three. First, time-taking interruptiens of an unnécessary nature, Second, the ab- sence of carefully planned schedules of hoped-for accomplishment, and third, that greatest of all bugaboos, fatigue resulting from pushing one’s self too far in one direction or an- other.” NGTON SCHOOL %g:“s‘unnmls Tow OMAL PRESS BLOC @ el THAYSLER BUILDING —— * A SELECT SCHOOL De Jardin School of - FRENCH LANGUAGE R AT Joiy e S SCHOOL Register Now for Beginners’ and Advenced Clesses in Secretarial Subjects, Including Stenotype.
