A Vallejo despatch says: Matrons
among the naval set of Mare Island
are whispering to each other that the
marriage of Elizabeth Kenneth Pond
and DR. Francis NJ. Shook may not
take place, owing to objections against
it by Commander Pond, the girls IA
Their With the story they are telling
in undertone is the gossip that when
Miss Pond disappeared from home last
week and aroused the island to hunt
for her, she took blanket along and
planned her lodging for the night in
the barn where she was found in the
morning. 1t was Miss Ponds mother,
according to this tea-cup gossip, who
started naval officers and men of the
island hunting for her daughter. While
the search was being made, they say,
Commander Pond sat at home smoking
his pipe and dispelling the disquietude
of the household. He felt confident
that the girl would be found and that
thcre was no occasion for alarm over
her whereabouts.
The disappearance of Miss Pond, it
is declared. followed upon a family
difference over her coming marriage
with DR.. Shook. Commander Ponds
objection to the marriage is not shared
by his wife. it is declared by close
friends of the family, and when the
girl disappeared she became alarmed
lest the family difference had unduly
affected her.
Mrs. Pond was noticeably relieved
when her daughter reappeared in the
morning, but it is declared that the
commanders objection to the marriage
has not since disappeared
Gossip among island circles over the
matter leading up to the girls disap-
pearance is general and has already
drifted over to Vallejo, where it is
freely discussed.
Both Miss Pond and DR.. Shook have
friends here and the announcement of
their engagement several weeks ago
created much interest.
