Medford Woman Writes of Trip in New England Hurricane By Ethelyn Evans (Notes on a motor trip from Au gusta, Main to Washington, D. C. Through the Hurricane) Traditions Shattered: No longer can the land of the Pilgrims look down Its puritanical nose at Califor nia quakea or Florida hurricanes. In credibly, a breeze originating along the South American coast lashed and devastated old New England. Unpre cedented but It happened. Homeward Bound: All serene out of Augusta, Wedneseday. September 31, 1938, account radio assurance Florida's threatened hurricane was heading seaward. A brief stop at his toric old Portsmouth, New Hamp shire, for luncheon of broiled Malno lobster, starting merrily on about three hours before the town waa par tially wrecked and roads closed. Still serene driving along New Hampshire beaches, lazily debating a plan to loiter a day or so. Since Just one month before, to a day, we had been admiring the Pacific, we luckily de cided that, after all, most salt water was pretty much alike and we would n't stop. Soon the skies were over-, cast a weird unearthly light the wind caught up with us, sand was pouring across the highway, and, a few hours later, most beach resorts on the northeast coast felt the full fury of the storm. , Highlights: On to Boston! Falling trees to the right tof us, telegraph poles splitting like match stems to the left of us, masses of writhing, sputtering live wires, our heavy car careening across the road despite the n.h.'s (nice husband's) firmest possible grip on the wheel, blinding sheets of rain, wishing we might stop SOMEWHERE No chancel Pol lyanna Jokes anent always wanting to pass on together, anyway.

The hotel Just as the wind hit a 100 mile per hour velocity. Absurdities: Admitting tl:at only broadcasting stations and a few hotel radios In central Boeton were oper ating, yet the announcer repeatedly interrupted relayed reports of de struction with: "Since ALL POWER Is off and your electric clocks have stopped, we shell give you the exact time," and "since all telephone and telegraphic com munication is blocked, we will glad Capital Gossip By Ethelyn Evans Mrs. Roosevelt Busy The giddy whirl starta early in the national capital with the first lady on a brief visit to the White House to be honor guest at the Democratic women's council reception and the speaker and only woman present at the Men's National Press club lunch eon. Not even an Invitation for Mrs. Malvlna Schelder, companion and private secretary, or for Mrs. James M. Helm, social secretary, two un usually interesting women and un doubtedly the real explanation of how Mrs. Roosevelt can go and tafk and do so much. And off again to lecture and visit projects In Maine, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and back in the local news picture with a press conference on October 10th.

Much In vogue In hectic Washington where most women hurry on to a lecture, pause at one or more teas, hesitate at some "at home" or reception, per haps linger a bit at a cocktail session, and still manage a dinner or concert or evening affair or all three. We remember finding Mrs. James J. Davis, wife of the then secretary of labor now senator from Pennsylvania, "pouring" at three different teaam the same afternoon. Ethelyn Hull Evans (Mrs. R. M. Evans) spent the summer visiting In Medford with her mother, Mrs. Lottie Daniels and her brother, Frank Hull. During her sojourn hare she made many friends throughout the valley and figured prominently In social activities as well aa club circles. Mrs. Evans has lived in Washing ton, D. c, for a number of years where she takes an active part in events of capital society and organi zations.
