The other evening the Breckinridge Longs told of their plans to take the North Cape cruise on the Kungsholm, which gives !'them a few days in Russia. Other “movers” include the young Robert P. Joyces and the popular Mariana Sands. The three of them have taken Bill Donovan’s house at Thirtieth and R streets for the Sum- mer, which we have already told you. The Joyces are already installed and Mrs. Sands will move there from the 1925 F Street Club on Friday. We all anticipate many nice evenings in that beautiful cool garden!

Then they will head for the Emerald Isle, arriving just in time for the Dublin Horse Show. While in Ireland they will stay with Reginald C. Daly of Dublin. The Block juniors will go along, and later in the Summer will be sent to pay a visit with Fraulein Schmidt’s family in Germany. Whereupon, Betty and Leonard, free from responsibility, will take a little trip on the continent, ail of which sounds glorious, and we shall expect to welcome them back in the late Fall.
