The children insert the studious
disposition of their father. The oldest
daughter, Helen, led her classes in the
cathedral school, from which she
graduated last year, and now is pre-
pairing for Bryn Mawr college.
Robert Alphonso, the eldest, now
10, is an undergraduate at Yale. He

patton of law. He took a special
course two years ago at Oxford in
English law and history.

to go to West Point as soon as dad

Secretary Taft is not man of
wealth. He has always had to live on
his salary, and a secretary's salary
does not go far in Washington.
The Tafts, therefore, do not enter

are able to select their friends from

Washington at least once year.
After leaving school Grant went to
California for his health and later
moved to that state with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. u. S. Grant, Jr. After
spending some time in the coast state
he returned to Washington and en-
tered bank. While banking he was
associated with Edward Wrenshall,
the father of his fiancee, and Mr..
Smith. He soon left the bank and
went back to California, but not until
he had the consent of his sweetheart
to become his wife. After going to
the coast he soon left off banking and
started in the real estate business,
which he still follows. His father, U.
s. Grant, Jr., is one of the prominent
business men of San Diego. The
groom is also nephew of General
Fred Grant, brigadier general of the
United States army, in command of
the department in the East, with head
quarters in New York.
The Wrenshall family, according to
authentic history, is descended from
Alfred the Great through Edward the
Elder, whose third daughter married
a count of Vermandois, the founder
of the line.

GRANDSON OF GEN. GRANT
TO WED SOCIETY GIRL

THE most noted society event in
Washington in many year will
be the wedding of Miss Helen Dent
Wrenshall, pretty and talented
Washington girl, to Chaffee Grant, of
San Diego, CAL, grandson of the late
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, which will be a
function of the early June. While the
blood of the greatest general America
has produced courses through the
veins of the young future bridegroom,
the bride-to-be boasts of lineage
aqually aristocratic. Miss Wrenshall
says she is lineal descendant of AL
fred the Great
Miss Wrenshall is the daughter of
the late Edward Wrenshall, promin-
nent banker Of this place. She is also a
talented musician. The love affair is
touched with romance and dates back
to the time when both were mere chill
dren.
When but young boy young Grant
was sent to Washington by his father
to attend school. He remained here
for two years, and during this period
he became acquainted with Miss
Wrenshall. Although very young the
attachment was very strong, and after
leaving the school he returned to
