WALTER BROOK- INGS gave a garden party at Menokin, their estate on Seminary Hill, near Alexandria, Va., Friday evening for the members of the Washington Wellesley Club. Supper was served on the lawn, after which Mrs. Harry B. Caton, president of the club, showed her own motion pic- tures of Virginia gardens, including her own garden in Alexandria. The June meeting of the club and its an- nual election of officers was held, re- sulting in the re-election of Mrs. Caton as president; Miss Bessie Clascock Taylor, vice president; Mrs. Nancy Toll German, corresponding secretary; Miss Martha Morrow, re- cording secretary, and Miss Anne Coyle, treasurer. The club will re- sume its meetings in the Autumn. Menokin, an old Indian name, meaning good water, commands an interesting view of the surrounding countryside and Washington in the distance. Menokin was a favorite name with the Lee family, there be- ing three Lee estates in Virginia which bear this name. The picturesque house, now occupied by the Brook- ings, was built in 1850 by Cassius Lee, a first cousin of Gen. Robert E. Lee. For 45 years Cassius Lee was treas- | urer of the Virginia Episcopal Theo- logical Seminary, which is nearby. He also served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. When the Civil War broke out this old home was occupled by Gen. Mc- Dowell and used as headquarters of he Union troops in this section. The Cassius Lee tamily continued to live there during the occupancy of the headquarters staff, as this Lee did | not favor cessation.

After the battle of Bull Run the Union troops threw up fortifica- | tions around Washington, and at Fort Ward, which is only a short dis- tance from Menokin; there went out the order to chop down all trees in| the surrounding country so that the, Northern soldiers might have a bet- | ter view of the countryside. How- | ever, Cassius Lee was a friend of | Secretary Stanton in President Lin- coln’s cabinet, and Stanton, inter- ceding for Lee, asked the soldiers not to destroy the oak forest which is now standing so majestically around the Brookings home. Mrs. Brookings took a group of guests through the picturesque old house, where the eight-sided dining room, papered with an arresting hunt- ing scene, the exquisite pieces of antique furniture, each one with a fascinating story; the historic old prints of the early city of Washing- ton, held every one's attention and made the evening one of outstanding interest for the club’s members.

L4 il and Virginia Bacon,fiagd hot on their —r, By the Way— Beth Blaine ’]_‘O ALL intent and purposes the District of Columbia was be- sieged last night by a band of madmen and screaming women who attacked all of Washington’s outstanding buildings and points of interest in the Nation’s Capital with flash lights and telephone books! They meant no harm, we assure you, however, to the un- informed who might have been strolling along Massachusetts ave- nue at about 10 o’clock, it seemed thet the Japanese Embassy was being looted and robbed! At 8 o’clock some 50 congenial friends started off on a treasure a;mt Iand the first clue led them—well you guess, for here is quoted e clue, “Where the flick’ring shadow passes To the radio’s stuttering note, Handsome men on beauteous lasses, Simp’ring, passionately dote. By our greatest treasure chest The first clue’s quietly at rest.” To us “our greatest treasure chest” immediately brought to mind the Treasury, but we learned later in the evening that it was a sign of our mercenary mindedness, for others, whose thoughts are on a higher plane, betook themselves to the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier! From the clue we received opposite the Treasury, we found that the Folger Library was our next stop! We arrived there ahead of the person who was to give us the next clue. Having been in- formed that we were to take a flash light along, we used this freely at Shakespeare’s shrine to the consternation of the night watch- man and several little boys who were playing there “in the cool of the evening!” Eventually, the clues arrived and again we shall let you guess by quoting the work of the Mark Sullivans—father and son, who, with the assistance of one of the more intelligent young women in this city, wrote all the clues. “Little poems, words in row, Innocuously seeming, Name the places we should go, Clue filled, treasure-teeming. Oh, man of calm, oh man of woe, Light above you gently beaming, Now quickly guide us toward the dough.” Leaping into our car we headed for the Lincoln Memorial and did a marathon up and down those steps! Hot work, for a night in June! There we found after considerable trouble, where we were next to go—lo and behold it was almost, “right back where we started from”—the Supreme Court Building! On the steps of that stately edifice Mark Sullivan, the younger, pres;nted us with the little piece of paper bearing the following words, “Clue, is it true what the people all say, That you really are twenty Miles away? Long is the road, and short is the day Clue, don’t be twenty miles away.” Our history failed us for a bit there and we thought we were stumped, but suddenly dear old Sheridan came to our minds hence to Sheridan Circle we headed. There we learned that 2101 Connecticut avenue, the home of Senator Borah, was our next stop and again we started off bravely the thought of the treasure uppermost in our minds helping us to forget that we were about dead with the heat and utterly exhausted with our efforts. Back again, to Massachusetts avenue to the Japanese Embassy and we did our most difficult hunting, for little did we think that the clues would be reposing on the front door step, unmanned and unnoticed! They were there, however, in spite of the fact that Emmons Smith and his partner Mrs. Gene Roberts, Paul Schell and many seemed assured of the fact that that was impossible! Mike McConihe was the first to catch sight of those tiny slips of paper, followed almost immediately by Jasper Du Bose and Arthur Krock and then the real marathon began. The last clue had been found and to 1925 F street we started, with the treasure in view and almost more important a cooling draught to moisten our parched throats. The winners were Mike McConihe heels came Jasper Du Bose (Continued on Fourth Page.) Phone Orders Taken Tonight, 6 PM. to 9 P.M.
