 I was more than a little interested in the marriage of Joseph J. Ryan, son of Thomas Fortune Ryan, to Miss Mamie Morse of Washington. While Thomas F. Ryan is one of the worlds richest men and his business enterprises are al- most of the same magnitude of MT. Nor gan's. his family leads a very quiet life. MT. Ryan spends some little time abroad, but more upon his vast estate in Virginia, where he owns thousands of acres, in- cluding a mountain and private race track. His town home in this city is one of the show places.
 As for Joseph, he has been arrested for speeding his automobile in this city, and what more can I say for him?

 I am more than keen to know upon what lucky man the affections of Mrs. Keith Donaldson will settle, now that kind judge in Reno has rendered her heart and fancy free. Mrs. Donaldson was known as the Million Dollar Bride" and she inherited that amount from Charles R. Payne of Angelo. Tex. Mrs. Donaldson was Evelyn Willis Hunter of Memphis, Tenn. and was but 19 years of age when she was married to Keith Donaldson. MT. and Mrs. Donaldson lived together only a few months.
 The rumor has been borne to me that she would spend the rest of her life abroad with her cousin, Mrs A. Hart Mckee, but Mrs. Donaldson is very young and plans for the balance of her years seems silly. Mrs. Donaldson is an in- timate friend of Mrs. Elsie French Van derbilt. and the three of them-Mrs. Donaldson Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Wander bilt-constitute a trinity of fair and un- married divorcees.
