IN THE WORLD or SOCIETY
GOSSIP AS TO A BALTIMORE
BEAUTY AND ARMY OFFICER.
Marriage Of Mr. Walter II. Shipman
and Miss De Witt-Other
Notes Of Interest.

There Is every indication that the mar
rfage Of Mrs. Jesse Tyson and Lieut.
Bruce Gotten. L. 8. A., will take place
this fall. although the rumor TO that
effect is still denied by both Mrs. Tyson
and Lieut.. Gotten, according to the Baiti-
more American today, which further
says:
Mrs. Tyson has been heard to say that
she would not marry an army man, and
1t Is thought that this is what prompted
Lieut. Gotten to resign his commission
and enter the business world. Lieut.
Gotten is cousin OF Mrs. Douglas
Huntley Gordon, one of the most beauti-
full. as we'll as one Of the most CHARM
ing. young matrons in Baltimore society.
1T is said by Mrs. Tysons friends that
leader and that she wants to settle down
and enjoy her home. With this idea I'm
view, Cylburn. her fine country home
near Mount Washington. is being beauti-
fled and improved during her absence
abroad by a well known landscape gar
dener. Mrs. Tyson has arrived in Lon
don. and will spend q few weeks there.
Dame Rumor says that she will remain
there until after the arrival of Lieut..
Gotten. Mrs. Tysons most intimate
before Mrs. Tyson's return to America
in September
Lieut.. Gotten. although he has only
known Mrs. Tyson for q comparatively
short time. has not had a clear field, for a
prominent Englishman paid marked atten-
ton to Mrs. Tyson during the winter, but
his suit was apparently unsuccessful and
he returned to his home In England. Mrs.
Tyson has always had a large number of
admirers, so many, in fact. that at one
ha MN mi no
to move to New York to get away from
the persistant suitors. Her engagement
to first one and then another of her ad-
mirers has been reported from time to
time, only to be emphatically denied. In
fact. the repeated rumors have so embar-
raised Mrs. Tyson that when the report
Of Lieut.. Cotteh's attentions began to
spread she denied herself to many of her
friends and spent her time quietly at CYL
burn where Lieut.. Gotten was frequent
visitor. and where she gave a delightfully."-
informal dinner each Sunday evening.
Lieut.. Gotten nearly always being among
the guests. 1t is due to these many en-
barrassing positions probably that Mrs.
Tyson and Lieut.. Gotten both refused to
talk about any possible engagement.
Mrs Tyson Was Miss Edyth Johns of
the prominent family of that name, and
since she made her debut has been con-
sidered one of the most beautiful women
in Baltimore. She was q contemporary
and friend of Mrs. Henry Clews. jr.. for
