BY PAUL J. MILLER. Jr. DR. ALEXANDER BROOKS, member of the United States Board of Veteran Appeals, a medic who performed glorious service during the tragic era of the World War, has returned to Washington from a motor jaunt into the East and Seaboard South.
"Doc,” as the chess fans dub him at the Social Chess Lounge, intimates that whither he may wander in his Gulliverian travels he thinks often of the Chess Divan and even the cheerful companionship of his charming golden-haired spouse lacks the mystical affection that Caissa has for him. And Mrs. Brooks, whose favorite pastime is catering to Doc’s whims, that is, when she is not browsing among the nifty smart shops of New York’s Broadway Lane, doesn’t object to the occasional role of "chess widow” a-tall. She says that she finds the Social Chess Divan a most convenient lounging place, especially after an F street shopping spree. JJNLESS you are an inveterate chess fan you cannot sincerely appreciate the golden1 fortune you possess in having a life companion who humors your love for the royal game and envies you not the faculty 'of becoming immersed in a mere game of philosophical puppets.
Mrs. Norval Wigginton, bride of a year, encourages her swain in his hobby, the fulsome of which he realizes as chess director of the Social Chess Lounge and one of the officers of the Washington Social Chess Divan that meets each Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Parkside Hotel. Occasionally Mrs. V. Colonna indulges in a game with her military husband, and rumor has it that she sometimes outgenerals him. WILLIAM REYNOLDS, interhigh chess champion, is back on the local firing line after ^shaking off two months of Nebraska' and Colorado dust. Robert Knox and Reynolds will resume in October their struggle for the District interscholastic championship, the winner to receive custody of the “Y” trophy and an individual medal. Members of the divan include P. L. Richards, Raymond W. Lewis, L. Paul Miller (the District has three chess fans so far by ye columnist's name ... do you believe in numerology in chess?), J. H. Abercrombie and Mary Owen..
