short while TO e,apse before leaving for an
out-of-town trip. Their absence will, how

of December. Mrs. Howard is the eldest
daughter of the late William III. Clagett
one of the best known citizens of the capt.
tai during his active career. She is both
handsome and graceful, very winning In

is most enviable. She has spent this fall

only numerous, but exceedingly valuable.
