Yesterday was one of those ideal days for such an excursion, so, starting off early in the morning our road took us through miles of beautiful woods in our neighbor State, and then down a country lane to De la Brook on the Patuxent, one of the historic places of old Maryland. There, the waters of the Patuxent as it empties into the Chesapeake Bay, are almost in the front gardens. De la Brook was built in the eighteenth century and is a dream of an old stone and brick house with a wing on one side and superb trees around it. The present owners, one of the most delightful couples in all of Washington, have kept the spirit of the place in all its furnishings. Fine old prints and en- gravings as well as rare pieces of furniture fill the walls and roo and “Pochie,” a colorful wooden Indian maid, that graced the S Mrs. Robert Noble Downes, who, before her marriage Friday in the chapel of the United States Naval Academy, was Miss with her attendant, The bride is the daughter of Mrs. —Underwood & Underwood Photo.

No rush of traffic or jangling telephone bells—it is another world! We were the first to arrive, and quickly jumped into our bathing suits, and scorning such foolishness as sun creams or shade hats and scarfs, we paddled in a canoe to the bathing beach. Only the warning of the luncheon gong “calling all guests” to “change” for the midday meal, took us away from the sand and water in that broiling noon-time sun. We took another plunge with the Theodore Wilkinsons, Martha Blair and Noel Trentham of the British Embassy before going in. Then a change to dry clothes and « delicious luncheon. The last two guests to arrive, pretty Nan Brereton, daughter of Admiral Brereton, U. S. N., and Ian Twcedie, son of Admiral Tweedie of the British Navy, had lost their way, thus de- laying them. After lunch we stretched out on the “greens- ward” to enjoy the sun and the soft cool of the grass. And we enjoyed both until time to go over to Capt. and Mrs. Howard Davidson’s place, Cremona, for tea. Space does not permit an adequate description of that beautiful house. What a glorious place it is! Complete with tennis courts, a swim= ming pool, large pastures, where cattle graze as if in your front garden, (the new type of “sunken” fence prevents their straying) and to top it off their own private landing field for planes! Six o'clock, and time to start back to De la Brook, so climbed into the very nice large launch belonging to our host, but were delayed in starting by a sudden burst of “temperament” on the part of the motor. But not for long, and so we arrived again at De la Brook in time for a delectable supper. By this time all the soft and lovely lily-white skin, exposed to the unrelenting ra; of the sun all day, had turned to the most “divine” lobster red! And so our holiday was over—but “speaking of sunburn’—we refrain from details!
