building Mr. Nicholson urges that the
wood sheathing of the 9Th street wing

is suggested that on the third floor,

Regarding the high schools, DR.. David
son. II is understood, is pledged to no
policy. He has not been here long
enough at any visit to oblgate himself to
much of anything, but talks with mem

that the graded schools are to be left
almost entirely-perhaps entirely-to a.

receive the personal attention of DR..
Davidson.
Each high school is a little educational
Institution in itself. The principals and
faculties of the high schools combined
make formidable array. They are or
ganized, and the latest proof of their or
ganization is the seriousness with which
the board of education is taking their re-
port advocating the adjustment of the

ternities will be for the new superin-

Bride a Telephone Operator.

Whether Miss Audrey F. Kelsey Of
2203 18th street. who yesterday at Buff
falo, n. Y. became the bride Of Edward
Valentine Lee, will return to her home
here to live is unknown to members Of
her family.
Miss Kelsey, accompanied by her broth
er, Bertram c. Kelsey, until last Decem-
Der employed at the bureau of engraving
and printing, left Washington Thursday
night.
At her home this morning her mother
and another brother, Clarence H. Kelsey.
declared they were in the dark as to the
intentions of Mrs. Lee and had had no
word from her or her brother since they
left Washington. The brother said he
did rot know Lee and as far as he knew
he had never called at the house to see
his sister.
Lee first met Miss Kelsey three years
ago when he was duty at the Navy
Department He lived at the WestmOre-
land apartment house here. Miss Kelsey
was the telephone operator there and
they first conversed over the wire. Lee
then called on the young woman at the
switchboard and introduced himself.
This Introduction led to a closer acquaint-
ance and to a correspondence when Lee
again was assigned to sea duty.
