YOUNG METCALF
MAY QUIT NAVY
TO WIN BRIDE
ii Would Be just Like Victor.
Says Grandmother of
the Ensign
Appeal TO Father for Escape
From Service Alleged to
Have Been in Vain
Miss Buffers, Fiancee of Secre-
tary of Navy's Son, in Igno-
rance of His Plans

OAKLAND, Jan. 24-"It would be
just like Victor to ask his father for
permission to leave the navy so that
he might marry said Mrs. j. H.
Nicholson today when she was asked
as to the current society gossip that
her grandson, Victor H. Metcalf r..
was trying to break out from under
naval regulations which bar his inne-
diat- marriage with Miss Marie But
ters.
"Bgt Secretary Metcslf would pay
no attention to such request if it has
been made" explained Mrs. Nichol-
son, confidently, as she talked over
the interesting bit OF gossip at her
home, 1921 Linden street.
He would not give heed to his i'm
petuous sons efforts in that direction,
and more SO because the secretary
would not want anything done which
might place him in the attitude OF
showing favoritism. Secretary Net
calf would be more likely 10 refuse
suca request on no other ground than
that il came from his own SON.
REaUEsT TURNED DOWN
That young Metcalf desires to ria
himself OF the naval service because ii
interferes with his desire for an early
marriage with Miss Buffers, one Of the
attractive daughters of the Henry A
Buffers home, in Piedmont, has been a
story current in social circles on both
sides OF the bay for several days. That
the young naval Officer who is hedged
BY regulations from marrying in his
present rank of ensign, sought relief
from his father. the distinguished sec
rstary OF the navy. and was turned
down, in the parlance OF the street. is
a part of the interesting norsel which
has kept the various bridge parties
alive OF late.
MISS BUFFERS NOT INFORMED
Young Metcalf is with his ship, the
at Aagdalena bay. He has
not conhded his plan of campaign TO
Miss Buffers. according to her own
statement, IN which she said:
If Mr.. Metcalf has asked to resign
I have not been told about it, We
know nothing at this time which would
lead US TO believe that he has taken
such course
AS soon as Miss Buffers was ap-
prised OF what society folk were say
ing she sought further light inmedi-
ately by going to Mrs. Nicholson and
ii over. To the older woman
the reported action OF young Metcalf
did not come as a surprise. Mrs Mich
olson remarked several times during
the interview upon young victor's I'm
petuosity' and was by no means un-
certain that he had not tried this short
cut to the altar"
Later in the year young Metcalf will
be called upon TO take examinations
which. it is understood by his relatives
here, will advance him in naval grade
II he shall pass. The wedding date is
still indefinite.

Al TIE THEATRE

A large audience greeted the Geo
b. Howard company at the theatre
last evening to witness their pro-
duction of Augustin Days play "A
Night Off" The S. T. o. sign ap-
peared before the play opened and
Manager Ferguson was compelled to
quit selling tickets before the rush
closed.
The play was appreciated by all,
and the way the crowd does laugh
makes a man feel young again.
Tonight, What Happened to
Jones' will be on the boards and,
as this is the last appearance for the
season of this company in Wenat-
chez, it is expected that the house
will be filled to overlooking, and Man
ager Ferguson requests that all
those who desire to attend purchase
their tickets early at the Wenatchee
Drug store, SO as to avoid the rush
and get good seats.
The Fire Department was enriched
last night, as they received 10 per
cent OF the box receipts. 1t was very
nice of the management to take the
boys into consideration, and it can
be easily surmised that the Howard
company rather enjoy the hospitality
of Wenatchee from the statement of
Mr.. Howard himself, that he is going
to get back here next September, if
he possibly can
We hope that he does. and his
company will get the warmest greet
ing that they have ever received
The people of Wenatchee appreciate
getting thir moneys worth and they
do love to see a good play well acted,
and it has been amply demonstrated
that the Howard company can fill
the bill.
Wenatchee is a good show town,
and the management of the local the
atre is to be congratulated for the
presence of a good company ii Our
