of Mrs. Chrystal Harrison of San Fran

is. charming romance that began last
year at Fort Screven, Ga, where Col.
Philips was stationed and where his
attractive daughter was the belle of the
post. Lieut.. Harrison was also stationed
at Fort Screven, and the engagement of
the young couple was announced there
in August of last year A few months
later news came that it had been broken.
The young army officer was ordered to
Fort Winfield Scott, which relieved an
embarrassing situation at the small
southern post However. the War De-
partment has no consideration for these
delicate affairs of the heart. and In the
spring Col Philips was ordered to take
command at Fort Scott. Lieut.. Harri-
son secured detail inspecting mines.
which would keep him away from the
post most of the time. Miss Philips and
her mother fingered in the east for sew
eral months, and arrived here only a few
weeks ago. On one of Lieut.. Harrison $
!nfrequent visits to Fort Scott he met
his former fiancee. and the result was
the renewal of the engagement in few
days. 1t is expected that the marriage
of the young couple will take place in q
few weeks. according to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
