Raleigh Hat $8.50 HER MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1937 ..“é; the Way— UST suppose you find yourself of a hot Saturday afternoon with nothing to do and no particular plans for the evening or Sunday. Don’'t under any circumstances sit back, groan, mop your fevered brow and feel sorry for yourself. Always remember that there are plenty ot other souls about who can’t make a week-end at Newport, Narragansett Pier, or Long Island either. A couple of telephone calls is bound to find a friend or two and maybe more, who are only too delighted to make the best of things and dollars to doughnuts before you can say Jack Robinsan you are bound for any one of the cool out of door spots in and around the city where you will dine and dance the evening away. For us this past Saturday our goal was the Chevy Chase Cludb stopping en route in the pleasant garden of the Bill Donovan house on R street which has been taken this Summer by Mrs. Emory Sands. Out at the club we dined and danced to our heart's content. Yesterday, craving exercise in the form of golf, but not being a member of a golf club, we betook ourselves to a “driving range” where we whiled away several hours with bucket after bucket of balls endeavoring seriously to improve our strokes. Having started the day with “brunch” around noon, after the strenuous erercise walloping the golf ball, good sub- stantial food was much on our minds and somehow or another corn on the cob appealed more than anything else. Where to satisfy that craving? Well, from past experience we knew that the corn at the Paturent Gun Club is par excellence— reason, housewives, because it is plucked from the stalk one moment before it is thrown into the pot to boil. To the Patuxent we headed and within the confines of that old club located in St. Georges County, Md., right on the Patuxent River, we sat and wrote this column. The club, founded in 1889, of which Mr. Horace Westcott is president, is full of charm and historical background. It is believed that the spot upon which it is situated, and perhaps the very building, was the headquarters of the British troops in 1814 when they marched upon the Capital. The club originally, the Rod and Gun, has but a very few members who in days past went down during the shooting season for ortolan, reed birds and ducks, now there are but ortolan to be shot there which season opens September first. The main living room is papered with naval maps and charts, the sofas and chairs are covered with a gay bright blue semi glazed chintz and from the ceiling hangs a ship's steering wheel made into a lighting fixture. Here and there upon the walls are hung old fire arms and many an Indian arrow head is in evidence all of which have been found around the grounds. The walls of the bar quite recently were papered with several thousand wine labels lending a very appropriate atmosphere. But it is in the dining one finds the most valu- able possession of the club. All four walls are covered with old French scenic wall paper, actually museum pieces which were originally found in the main part of the house but moved in 1925 into the dining room by the late Mrs. Steve Slocum. One section was printed by Jacquemart et Benard, who made scenic wall paper from 1796 to 1830 while another section, the Petit Decor, is the work of Joseph Dufour of Paris. The lovely ladies and gentlemen in their Directoire costumes stand out against a grey-green background. One is well provided for at the Patuxent Club by one Mrs. Burgess, who is ably assisted by Rod, who in past years was in turn equally well assisted by Gun, alas no longer in the land of the | living. So corn on the cob it was for us with Maryland fried | chicken which melted in the mouth preceded by mint juleps for | which the club is also famous—for unexplainable reasons the | mint is better there than in most places. Probadbly the most active and enthusiastic members of the Paturent Gun Club at present are Walter Bruce Howe, Frederick H. Brooke, Edwin Watson, Military aide to the President; John L. Newbold, Jerauld Wright, Richard B. Griffin and Thomas Leiter and many are the nice parties they have given there. President Roosevelt when Assistant Secretary of the Navy, made frequent trips to Paturent and on one visit planted a tree in the front garden which, we can report, is flourishing. A guest book reposing in the front hall is worth close inspec- | tion. Filled with many an important signature it affords also no end of amusement since in many cases the remarks made by the visitors are honestly witty and quite a number of persons with artistic ability have left drawings and sketches which will go down to posterity. | In this fashion we spent a most enjoyable August week-end in Washington and soon forgot that we wished we were at watering places elsewhere ellffs 1214-1220 ¥ STREST Beat a quick retreat from the heat, to cool, cool Jel- leff’s—open 'til 5:45.
