young officers on that ship whose ar

the younger girls. Ensign Charles Con

in the summer
While wedding plans are Gnoer dis
cussion it may be mentioned CHAT the

shipman James Lawrence KauGmann--
or the date for that event--n viii depend
upon the orders that the young officer
viii receive within the next few months
or upon the arrangements that he may
be able to make for being transferred
from the L. 5. :. Tennessee. It was
believed early in the year that the ship
would be here in the summer at the
same season when Kaufman expects
to receive the rank of ensign, but his
ship has been ordered to Bremerton
for brief stay before going to Rio
Janeiro. This change in the route of
travel has necessarily changed the
plan for summer wedding. How
ever. Midshipman Kaufman has the
advantage of private means and may
not have TO wait long as the average
officer interested in matters matri-
monial. 1t is possible, his friends say.
that he may find a way to be married
sooner than the present disposition of

A photograph is shown today on the
society page of Miss Margaret King
ston. the charming daughter of the
Paul Kingstons. She is one of the
younger girls who is taking an active
part in social matters, although she has
not yet made her curtsy to society. 1t

tante of next winter and will be greet
ed by a large circle of friends upon her
entry into the formalities of society
The speculation that has been go
ing on for many months about Mrs
Georgiana Cook. the daughter of the
late Mrs. A Fl. Buffers, and the gossip
whether she was or was not to regard
her mothers wishes in the matter of
her marriage with Colonel Lincoln
Karmany. has been settled by the an
nouncements made by Mrs. Cook
herself that she is really going to
the orient next month to wed the gall
liant officer. It will be remembered that
the pretty bride elect was forced by the
terms of her mothers will to forfeit
her allowance in the event of her mar
riage, and for several months the dis
cussion has waged whether she would
consider the choice between the dol
lars and the colonel While those out

Cook have disputed - and fro about
her affairs. her closest friends have
been quite sure about her decision long
before il was an announcement The
romance involving Mrs. Cook and Colo

young daughter, by the way, Miss Luz

mother to the orient for the wedding.
Colonel Karmany is brigade commander
in the Philippines. and the wedding will
probably take place in Yokohama.
Colonel Karmany, however, is stationed
in Manila. where the future home of the
couple will be established. Mrs. Cook
and her daughter arc with Mr.. and
Mrs. Augustus Bray in Piedmont, where
they will remain until the date of their
