The Stones Like Walking
Chief Justice and Mrs. Harlan F. Stone are great walkers, so they don’t mind the driving restrictions. However, Mrs. Stone has encountered another of the trials of this wartime capital. Since October she’s had no cook and she has been doing the cooking for her: family, which now includes their son, a lieutenant colonel. ; : Justice and Mrs, Owen J.

The justice uses a bus for going to his office; and both of them hop a bus when they set forth to dinner parties. They've so regulated their timing that it’s simple. Justice Frank Murphy frequently rides to his office, but for partying —and he does a good deal of that as a popular bachelor—he is most emphatic in his use of public conveyances. : And from over in Arlington, Va., Justice and Mrs. Hugo Black have good: bus service which gets them to town in ‘a short time.
