Washington's Tar Heelers Take
Time Out For Vacations Back Home
By JULIA McNIXCH SLEAR
The Capital's social whirl is sag
ging a little this week, with va
cation-fatigued Washingtonians re
turning slowly to the city-routine.
Here and there are gatherings, of
course — social and otherwise.
With the usual run of distinguish
ed visitors and the more or less
interesting events. But the cus
tomary gaity, the enthusiasm, the
joie rie vivre are missing-definite
ly. The glorious fourth falling on
Friday this year gave many
people three wonderful days for
the pursuit of happiness, which
t h e Declaration of Independence
Includes among cur inalienable
rights—and it’s been pretty hard
to get back into the “social har
ness”.
Mr. and Mrs. Bruce J. Downey
who spent some time with their
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Julian Maynard of Newport
News formerly of Raleigh, are
home again, with interesting
stories to relate about their grand
children, Julian, Jr. and Ad e 1 e
Downey Maynard. And with the
three days packed with fun to re
member, Mr. and Mrs. Norman
H. Hicks returned to their Silver
Spring home Monday. Mr. and
-Mrs. John T. Cain who ac
companied them to Nag’s Head
swung over to Raleigh for a short
v*it with Mrs. Cain’s sister. From
there they will go to Red Springs
‘o visit another sister and thence
to High Point before returning to
Washington.
Mr. snd Mrs. A. D. McFayden
"ho have been visiting relatives
to Fayetteville, joined their daug
hter and her children in Hender
sonville before returning to the
capital, and Mr. and Mrs. A. C.
Jones and their daughter, Janelle,
Sl'e. at home again after a brie.’
"stt in Farmville, They were ac
companied by Mrs. E. H. Jones,
v'l0_ Mas spent the past two
mpnths with her son and daughter
in-law. Janelle who has lovely
blonde curls and a winsome man
ner is also very clever, for she
has won a scholarship at the
Cynthia Warner school two years
in succession not only for excell
ing in scholastic lines but for
being the best all-round student.
The John W. Lawsons who have
been doing a turn about the Bay,
sailing down the Potomac, just
before the Fourth, are returning
next wek with a series of
pictures calculated to make even
the most confirmed land-1 u b b e r
long for the spray of the ocean
in his face. Later they plan a trip
that will take them to Morehaa
City and other shore “points of
Interest.” Brown as berries are
the Tar Hels who were guest of
Mr. and 'Mrs. Lawrence G.
Newman over the long wek-end
at their cottage at Edgewater
Beach. Invited to join in the fun
with the Newmans were Mr. and
Mrs. William Y. Webb, Mrs. Allie
Stephenson Hoke and the attract
ive newly married couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Carroll Wright Lewis One
was Frances Hilda Johnson ).
Another vacationer taking advan
tage of the holidays is Virginia
Kornegay who is off for Chicago
where she will attend a legal con
clave being held by her fraternity.
Half of the fun of having been
in a strange city or country is
reading a friend’s reaction to that
same locality. Its been a long time
since we were in Switzerland. Ob
viously, it has maintained through
those years, its mein of sincerity
and poise, it’s great beauty and
the grandeur which struck us so
forcibly when we were there, for
the card which came to us this
week from W. A. Graham Clark,
Tariff Commission’s represent
ative to the International Trade
Conference, crystHized our own
memories of that peace - loving
