BY NINA CARTER TABB. HE fox hounds of the different hunts of Maryland and Vir- ginia that I have so much to say about during the Winter are having a nice, lazy time these Summer months. Their kennels are kept spick and span and cool with large runways divided in sections, running water and comfortable bunks. Every morning the hounds are taken out to exercise for an hour or two, ‘walked around the fields and are then brought back to the kennels. All of the hunts have lovely packs and it is very interesting to look them over. The old hounds are kept separate from the pupples of about 18 months old, which will be taken out and taught when cub hunting starts about the last of Apgust. The younger puppies of about 8 months old are in still an- other division and will not be used for another year. The Fairfax Hunt recently pur- chased a farm of about 100 acres on the Hunter Mill road leading from Fairfax to the Leesburg Pike at’| ‘Wheeler's Mill. The exact location is half way between Wheeler's Mill and the Reed Thomas place. Here they are erecting up-to-date kennels of ‘wood and tile. Dr. William McClellan of Burgundy Farms, in Fairfax County, was elected master of the Fairfax Hunt last season and will continue the mastership the coming season, with Reed Thomas as Joint master. ANY new members of the Hunt Club have been added this Sum- mer. It is planned to have attractive stables built at the kennels for the horses of members who wish to keep them there. Claude Hatcher, hunts- man of the Fairfax pack, is living in the house that was on the property ‘when it was purchased, and the new kennels are within a few hundred feet of the house, so he will be able to keepan eye on the hounds at all times. All members of the Fairfax Hunt forward to real and permanent Fairfax County. The Fair- s near enough to Washing- city residents to attend most Division of the Agriculture Depart- ment. Robert W. Wilson of Alex- andria is secretary-treasurer of the hunt club, and the two vice presi- dents are Arthur Godfrey, radio an- nouncer, who has owned a farm in the hunting country for some time and rides to hounds, and Dr. David Wickens, who has recently bought the Old Government Farm, one of the hunt's favorite meeting places. Dr. Wickens is an official of the De- partment of Agriculture and a former president of one of the Midwestern universities. The FairfaX Hunt's board of direc- tors comprises Dr. McClellan, Dr. Wickens, Wilson, Smith, Godfrey, George Benoit of Fredericksburg, who has recently purchased a tract of land near the new club farm from Capt. C. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1937. Diner a Deux for Senators’ and Wives Senator and Mrs. William Gibbs McAdao enjoy dining on the terrace at the Shoreham Hotel, where they have an apartment. By the Way— Beth Blaine THAT greenish tinge which was noticeable in your complexion the other day was envy, no doubt the result of reading and hearing about the pleasant and gay life which your friends are leading on Long Island, or any one of the Summer seashore resorts. But, cheer up, friends, Washington life in the Summer is not too bad after all, and furthermore you are not alone here! One of the havens for the stay-at-homes is the 1925 F Street Club where it was delightful at dinner time last night. In the cool of the evening we sat in the garden beneath those beautiful trees through which the moon gleamed in all her glory, listening to intelligent conversation based entirely on the happenings of the day on the Hill. The fact that the group gathered there included Democrats, Republicans and Joreign Diplomats there was a certain amount of “friendly” difference of opinion which lent an air of excitement to the spirited talk. Mrs. James Curtis was there last night and in excellent form and very much welcomed back after spending some weeks at Roslyn, Long Island. She is only here for a day or two, but promises to return next week and perhaps will decide to close the club around August 15. Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Repre- sentative from Massachusetts, looking cool, calm and collected in crisp white lace and her usual genial self conversed with Senator Green from her neighboring State, Rhode Island. At another table sat John Hamilton with some of his political allies, Senator Austin of Vermont; Representative Charles Halleck of Indiana and Massachusetts Represen:.a&iv: Joseph W. Martin, jr. * 'HE Chevy Chase cludb is so crowded every Thursday and Saturday night one can hardly believe that it is not the height of the Winter social season. In the afternoon late the tennis courts are filled and the pool an absolute riot of fun and frolic. The Mount Vernon Seminary tennis courts which we wrote not long ago have been taken over by a group of tennis enthusiasts, are filled after flve any afternoon. Yes- terday Betty Hardie was the only woman to be seen playing though there were a few wives of members watching. Philip Bourne, Lucius Wilmerding, Hank Whitney, Dick Sanger and many others may be found there any day. Then there are the lucky ones who have their own courts and we find that those persons in most cases are very generous to their less fortunate friends. Hugh D. Auchincloss’ court on his estate Merrywood just over the river near McLean, is one of the best nearby and it is in almost constant use. After a game the lovely inviting pool draws the players into the cool fresh water. Frequent visitors there are the Robert Joyces, Mrs. Emory Sands, Mrs. Campbell Prichett and Barney Talbott when he is in town. Bob Joyce, incidentally, is one of the better divers and gave us an exhibition of his skill the other afternoon dving every kind from R. P. Rogers; Lee D. Butler, a former Princeton professor who is keenly in- terested in fox hunting; Reed Thomas and Joseph Wheeler of Wheelers M. Miss Sandi)erg And Mr. Ernstedt Married Yesterday 188 KATHERINE 8. SANDBERG, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert L. Sandberg of Washington, was mar- ried to Mr. Edwin O. Ernstedt of Marquette, Mich, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Ernstedt, yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in the aft- ernoon. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Andrew R. Bird at the Church of the Pilgrims and the wed- ding music was played by Mr. War- ren Johnson, and Mrs. Iva Toone sang. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, wore a gown of white satin made on princess lines with & lace redingote and s short train. The maid of honor was the bride's sister, Miss Helen Sandberg, and ahe wore & dress of green organdy and carried & bouquet of yellow roses. She also wore a wreath of yellow rose buds in her hair. The best man was Mr. Marvin Stromberg of Polk, Nebr., and the ushers were Mr. Philip Larson of ‘Washington, Mr. Edward MacDon- ald, jr, of Charlotte, N. C; Mr. Frank Lichliter of Winchester, Va., and Mr. James Fawcett of North Car- olina. Company. Lisle A. Smith is president of the Fairfax Hunt Club and owns two farms in the center of the hunt country. He is head of the Legal § L3 Mrs. Ernstedt is a graduate of George Washington University and a member of the Alphs Delts Theta So- rority. Mr. Ernstedt is connected with the War Depariment and is a well-known musician, a flying Dutchman to a swan dive. y We can’t say, either, that those of us who are left behind in the big city, look exactly as though we are wasting away. There are plenty of good sunburns evident on the Shoreham terrace any evening where the cool breezes blow, no matter how hot the night. There you are sure to find Herbert Scholz, who is better known at the German Embassy as “Herr Dr.” since: there is another gentleman whose name sounds the same over the telephone though spelled differently; Mrs. Pear- sons Rust, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., and his most at- tractive wife; young John Stewart with his bride, the former Mary Senate Howes, who have recently returned from their wedding trip; blond and attractive Carl Good, and many others. * x kX MEANWHILE. Paris is terribly gay! We received a letter yester- day from the Charlie Saints of the French Embassy who are greatly missed here this Summer, telling us that Paris is jammed and just too much fun. The letter, alas, carried the sad news that we can’t count on seeing the Saints in the very near future, for upon M. Bonnet’s return to Paris he invited Charlie to enter his cabinet. Claude Boisanger, a former popular member of the French Embassy staft here, and the Saints are playing about to- gether and he, too, has a new appointment as “chief de cabinet” of M. de Tessan, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs. Every one wil] be glad to hear that Charlie Saint is recovering his health about which his friends here were much worried when he set sail. It turned out to be a slight nervous breakdown which he termed in his letter a “nervous depression.” The Albert Deweys have been in Paris and were to dine with the Saints who said they were longing for all kinds of news of their good friends in Washington. When Mary Cowles and her sister Virginia were last heard from they were in hopes of leaving last week for the Union_of Soviet Socialist Re{mbl!cs if the visa situation could be fired up. Since Virginia, in particular, is a young woman. of determination who rarely takes “no” for an answer when she has made up her mind to get somewhere, we think the chances are pretty fair that the Cowles sisters are at this moment in the Union.. When we next hear from Mary we shall pass on the‘n:ws. * x AND speaking of havens, the other evening we saw Mar- garet Austin, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Austin of the U. S. N. dancing around on the roof of the Powhatan under the largest July moon. Margaret arrived in Washington the latter part of April and unless our eyes are failing us com- pletely, she is one of the loveliest looking persons we have seen in_a long time. With her that night were the young Jim Robbs and Herbert Ford. Now we hope that the greenish tinge has left your otherwise rosy complexion! Washington—or any city for that matter—is not 80 in the Summer, in fact, if you make a little effort, you can have a lot of fun, e: ially when there are plenty of friends to have fun with. Call it, if you must “company in misery” though we think that is carrying self-pity a little too far! Houghtons to Sail. Mr. and Mrs. Woodson P. Houghton will sail from New York tomorrow in the Saturnis for Europe, where they will spend the remainder of the Summer.
