MITE sanger VIII make their nome In WASH
ington.
Recent announcements Of wedding inten-
tons observed that long and well-estab-
lished rule that when the first one is
heard about several of equal interest viii
surely follow. The last trio-the Tindle-
Knox. the Phillips-Townsend and the
- have simply whetted
the taste for more, and the gossips have
it that the next bunch will make inroads
into Official and naval circles especially.
Two or three ciose-by wedding days are
on the eve of being given to the public,
but with the events on the list already
there cannot be any further doubt that as
matchmaking center the capital of the
nation is holding its own. Miss Knox's en-
gagement did not surprise her friends In
Pittsburg. as it did here, for she has been
there so often. and her future husband
Mr.. Tindle. makes that city his home also
when he is not travelling. He has an IN
dependent fortune. inherited from his
fathers estate; is. college graduate,
member of the Pittsburg Hunt Club. etc.
His father was the late DIR. James Tindle.
a prominent practitioner of his day. His
former home I'm Pittsburg was once re-
garded as being in the heart of the fash
ionable residential district, but has of late
years been turned into business property
Miss Knox, who is travelling with Miss
Mohler and chape@oned by the latter's mar
ried sister, expected early in the winter to
be in Rome for the Easter season. Mr..
Tindle recently joined the party and the
return journey is to be in June. Miss Knox
has the pleasing manner of her mother,
whose cordiality to visitors at her public
receptions have always been so marked,
and which has made her home decidedly
popular one when the Wednesday round is
made.
Mr. Marshall A. Phillips, jr.. the fiance
Of Miss Annette Townsend, is a Balti-
morean, although now living in Philadel-
phia. His mother Mrs. Marshall Phillips
lives in the former city and his two young
sisters We're debutantes the past season,
as was Miss Townsend.
The third of the last series, Miss Eleanor
Patterson and Count GiZycki, excited the
unusual attention which always attends an
international romance. and the hope is gen.
eral that the wedding will take place here.

month or so ago were table talk. Miss
