Deep Interest in Romance.

The forthcoming marriage OF Miss
Diane Morgan-Hill, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. Morgan Hill. to Baron
HardouIn de Reinach- Werth. of France,
is greatly interesting society in Wash
ington. San Francisco and New York
in all Of which places the Morgan Hills
have had homes. The romance is more
than usually interesting. The young
people first met the summer following
Miss Morgan-Hills debut here. during
which season she was a great social sue
cess. She went abroad for the summer
and at DinaId, in France, the American
beauty met the French nobleman, then
an officer in the French army. The
Young lady's parents refused to con-
slider his suit and would not listen to
an engagement. They took their daugh-
ter away from Dinard and travelled
about but all to no purpose. The Off
Ger resigned his commission in the
army and went TO Canada, where he
has large possessions. In spite OF pa
rental frowns and disapprOval the
young people have kept up a corre
spondenCe, and Miss Morgan-Hill prac-
tically eschewed society. She has taken
no part in social frivolities and her
parents have taken her from one place
| to another the past few years with the
hope of interesting her in people and
affairs again, but 1t was all in vain.
Recently. when It became obvious to
every one whO knew her that the young
| girls health as well as her happiness
was at stake. the parents consented TO
! listen to the persistent and faithful
suitor. who arrived in Washington a few
days ago, when the engagement was an
nounced by Mr. and Mrs. Hill. The pair
were not satisfied with long engagement,
but planned an immediate marriage, to
be followed by their departure for
! France. Both being Catholics, a mar
| riage in Advent is impossible without a
| special dispensation, the reception of
which will decide the wedding day. No
| Invitations will be issued for the cere-
mOny. which will take place at st. Mat
| thew's Church with only the parents of
! the bride and necessary witnesses for the
bridegroom present. There will be no re-
ceptiOn.
The honeymoon will be passed In
! France, and their home in the future be
divided between that country and Can
ada. The future baroness is an only
daughter and a prospective heiress.
Mrs. Morgan-Hill was formerly Miss
Diane Murphy. OF California Having
grown up in France, where more than
! half her life has been passed. Miss Hill
| is an accomplished linguist and musician.
| She enjoyed a great popularity with the
younger diplomatic set in the brief sea-
| son between her debut and her retire
! ment from society.
Mrs. lucy F. Ryan, Of 1901 Corcoran

Mrs. Brown encouraged the boys In

to plow and harrow the ground and
she bought two dollars forth of seed.
At this point the boys showed much
concern. They knew that land needed

Embroidery Scissors Holders One Of
the Most Acceptable Gifts That
Can Be Made.

II you can do even the simplest sort
OF crocheting, you must make your
self and your friends one of the little
crocheted silk embroidery scissors
holders. These consist simply Of a
cork, crocheted around in silk every
where except the top surface. and
with crocheted string or handle to
which the scissors are attached. Then
when they are not in use the points
are stuck into the cork and they are
out of harms way.
An accompaniment OF this, not quite
so new, but very useful is tiny glass
medicine vial without lid, crocheted
all over very finely. Into II are
dropped broken needles and bent pins,
and they are far safer there than
thrown carelessly on the floor or In
the wastebasket. When the vial is
full slip of the silk-a little drawing
string at the bottom permits this

the earth or throwing them into the
fire.

ances, attached by bit of ribbon in
the same color, will make charming
favors for the next luncheon OF youI
