Taneyhill-Cranston nuptials. No dearth of
fine raiment or strictly up-to-date nneS

No couple will be happier to see settled
weather suitable for riding and driving
than the Admiral of the Navy and Mrs.
custom, had to give up five precious weeks
In February and this month because OF his
severe illness from the effects of grip. His
assured convalescence began over fort
night ago, and he has been at his desk
every day for the past week.
The admiral likes to drive probably better
than to be driven behind his spanking team,
and makes the same handsome figure with
the reins as his countrymen love to think
of him in command of his ship. Mrs.
Dewey, whose health is so much improved
the past year as practically to be no
longer on the invalid list, took great In
terest lately in a bazaar for charity, where
Philippine laces ana embroideries were sold
and where her purchases were liberal Ad-
mral and Mrs Dewey no longer keep a
country place in this vicinity, but the past
two years have divided the summer months
between the seaside and Saratoga.
Miss Helen Cannon, in addition to her
other delightfully."- companionable qualities,
likes automobiling, and has given great
deal of her time to 1t the past year. Last
week, in company with her sister, Mrs.
Hot Springs, where they expect to spend
several weeks in open-air pleasure before re-

crime Elkins, one of the richest of the debu-
tantes of the past winter, and one whose en-
gaging qualities made her a favOrite at
once. She has had all the prominence of
a belle for a year or two and therefore
did not want any formal coming-out party.
Her special chum seems to be Miss Pauline
Morton, her next-door neighbor, and their
first winter out. from a girls standpoint,
has Len an ideal one.

She is dainty, pretty figure and looks
very smart and trig in her habit. The
British embassy is always the happier for
having young people in it, and Miss Durand
is great favorite in the younger set.
Little Margaret Preston Draper has had
already in her young life more extended
travelling than comes to most grown-upS.
General and Mrs. Draper, who spend their
summers usually in Europe. divide the rest
of the year between their Washington home
and their estate at Hopedale. Mass, which
is in the midst of an industrial center of

will be hostess of a fancy dress ball, from
