Dear Marian:
Life here is so full of surprises for
me . . . Someone is always getting an
idea about something to do and it sounds
good to me so I'm Just the one who
doesn't say "no" . . : Monday night took

Continue to see many people known in
Oregon.
A pleasant contact resulting from a
Salem Zonta club friendship has been
meeting Mr. and Mrs. Edgar L. Myers.
He is a brother of Mrs. Robert McEwan
of Salem and Sunday the Myerses took
me for a delightful drive to Frederick,
Maryland, where Barbara Frletchie's
house is a well-marked spot. We drove ,
to the top of Braddock Heights, where
beautiful vistas north and south Inspire
Mrs. Myers with the desire to have a
summer cabin on the hilltop . . . Dinner
t attractive Olney Inn and the oppor
tunity of becoming acquainted with an
interesting couple added to the pleasant
trip.

er's wife. Middle of the week gadding
outside of Washington isn't in the sched
ule for me, however, and I am deferring
a New York trip for a later week-end..
Pat remarked that she was a bit lone
some for Salem in spite of the excite
ment of life in New York and a home
in a lovely setting on the ocean front. ,
Temperatures in the 60-degree area
are bringing on the cherry blossoms
ahead of Cherry Blossom Week, which
is scheduled to start April 8. A swing
around the Tidal Basin with friends Fri
day night found a few trees already
showing considerable color and others
about to burst into full bloom. We drove
on down the Potomac for dinner at an
interesting spot and noticed how beau
tiful the yellow forsythia Is a- it is used
in profusion in a great many plantings.
The park across from my apartment has
a mass of the yellow bloc ma as well as
several white tulip trees. Children play
in the park and adults stroll through it
by day but it's given a wide berth at
night. There's a marble statue which
from my window looks like It could be
the Goddess of Abundance but which
I've never inspected more closely. The
Dark Princess of Abandonment would
be a more fitting title by night, I am
told. It is too bad the park has such an
atmosphere as it has many interesting
trees and shrubs and a whole choir of
song birds. Ever since th middle of
January I've heard warbling -nd chirp
ing (not whistling) birds outside my
window which has made it seem like
late spring in Oregon.
However, the bouquet of pursy wil
lows that is silhouetted against the din
ing room wall is early spring in Oregon,
