Lieut. Clyde Stanley Mcdowell Of the
battleship Georgia of the United
States navy.
The couple met at San Diego over
a year ago when the battleship was
anchored there preparatory to it's trip
around the world. A friendship quickly
sprang up between the couple, which
ripened into love, and their engage
ment was announced recently. Miss
Ellis travelled half way across the con-
tinent upon the arrival Of the fleet
from It's $4,000 mile cruise, and Lieut..
Mcdowell, who is said to be the young
est lieutenant in the American navy,
came to Clinton to take his bride east.

most notable society events of the
year in the fashionable circles OF
Clinton, the Getty of millionaires,
took place at noon yesterday, Bishop
