SOCIETY in the Diplomat f | ~ Beth Blaine ; ESTERDAY was “open-house day” in old Georgetown, super- | vised by Mrs. William Kerkham, the former Bessie Gill, | whose parental home in Georgetown, though not open, is one of the loveliest homes in town. Donning our galoshes and carrying umbrellas,” we trotted Jrom house to house “to see what we could see”’! The first house on our list was that of Mr. and Mrs. Devreau Greene, whose daughter, Mrs. Richard Zantzinger, formerly Isabelle Greene, was hostess during her mother’s absence abroad. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Greenough’s home has been completely remodeled and added to be them. The dome-shaped dining room is the envy of the neighbors, not to mention the glassed-in cup- boards in the hall, which house the glass collection of John Hancock, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Green- ough is a direct decendant of Mr. Hancock. In the drawing room on either side of the fireplace two corner cupboards contain an exquisite collection of luster china. Mr. and Mrs. John Winant’s house is indeed lovely, and the smoke house behind, which is one of the only two remaining ones in Georgetown, is a great attraction. Considering the bad weather the gate receipts, all for the benefit of St. John’s Church of Georgetown, were most adequate gndL iwllm: today’s tour is terminated we hope the returns will e tripled. Amusing high lights during yesterday's tour: At the L. M. C. Smith’s two woman guests, pausing to admire a handsomely carved, Provencal press, decided that “it must have been the original telephone booth of the house”! At another house, two women paying a social call were astonished to find their hostess sitting behind a table collecting money! Being good sports, however, they paid $2 and stayed on! At the end of the day Mrs. Kerkham, chairman of the organi- zation, drove from house to house collecting the gate tolls, driven by Husband Bill, “who was a great help,” and escorted by two motor cycle policemen, who accompanied her until the money was safely deposited in the bank. Ten houses are open today and St. John’s Church may be seen by the “tourists.” The houses include those of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Leasure, Mrs. John F. Finerty, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, Mr. and Mrs_. W. Jasper Du Bose, Mr. Victor Sutro, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. C. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey G. Parker, jr.; Mr. and Mrs. Courtland Parker, Mr. and Mrs, James S.

Less than 20 miles, it will take from a half to three-quarters of an hour, to find oneself in the midst | of the horse country. The occasion will be the Fairfax Horse Show on the court house grounds. Starting at 9:15, there will be several hunt classes in the morning. Lunch will be served between 12 and 2; the menu chosen by Mrs. James Gibson, head of the Luncheon Commit- tee, sounds most delectable, being served by attractive wait- resses among whom will be Marion and Betty Shouse, Teenie Ekengren and Peter McHarg. As to whether these fair servi- tors will don apron and cap remains to be seen, but as tweeds are never amiss at a hunt ball, they certainly will fit in while serving lunch! Though tea is not on the schedule we have been given to understand that due to the excellent manage- ment, not to mention imagination of the committee, every ocassion has been provided for “set-ups” being sold to those “who bring their own!” The boxes are limited, also the parking spaces, so if you want a box seating six, Carolyn Chantry, head of that committee, should | be notified. Among the boxholders to date are Mr. and Mrs. George Hewitt { Myers, Dr. McClellan, master of Fairfax Hunt, and Mr. and Mrs. F. Hamilton McCormick-Goodhart. After the show a dance will be held at Willard Hall, in Fairfax, starting at 10 o'clock; the head of the Dance Committee is Mrs. Reed Thomas, who will be assisted by Miss Randolf Richardson and Miss Mary Cootes. And, of course, there will be a floor committee, but as to who these responsible gentlemen will be still remains a mystery. Robert Wilson is the secretary. Mrs. Robert Guggenheim will show her renowned Firenze team and there will be cups and ribbons all over the place! ~ . « .
