USAN DEAR:
| have just heard a runor
which will take You completely

WHICH Will take You C0l1plctefy
u off your feet with surprise. Who
do you suppose the girls are saying are en-
gagged? Yes, of course, it is Eleanor Reyburn
end Lieut.. Frank Harrington. You could not
nave stayed up on the North Shore as long
IS you did without hearing it. He has been
awfully devoted to Eleanor, whom you will
recall as special friend of Ethel Roose-
yelt, and later of Helen Taft She went
over to the Cathedral School, FIRST with Ethel
and then with Helen. Some of the older
fork who are just back from New London,
and who were there during the races, and
while Lieutenant Harrington was there, say,
'.Oi Tut, tut, tut, and some have even men,
toned that Eleanor's mother pointedly denies
the rumor, but do hope it is true. Har-
rington has a fine chance in his branch Of
she service, the Engineer Corps.

Everyone is so sorry that Mrs. Neil S.
Brown has decided to leave Washington She
is going to Detroit to make her home " III
her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Yrs.
Charles Mason White, jr Mrs White, as
you well know, was Marie McMillin Brown,
and her marriage to Mr.. White took place last
spring think. Mrs Brown and Marie -,ere
such gold residents here, and have SO many
friends in all circles of society
The fact that Dr. and Mrs. Davenport
White have taken an apartment at the Dres-
den for the season and that they are going
to be real Washingtonians pleased just lots
Of folks we know. Mrs White has visited
her mother, Mrs. Tallmadge Lambert, much
here, and has finally decided to return to
Washington to live. DIR. White, who was
connected with hospital in New York city,
will take up private practice here.
Congressman Stephens of California told
me Thursday that he was leavins town that
night for home. You never saw anyone so
pleased with the prospect of going a.ly-
where in your life. You see, its been a long
time since he saw Mrs. Stephens and Bar
bMa, because they returned to Los Angeles
early in June.
Barbara's wedding to Lieutenant Zane
you remember that told you about the en-
gagement last time | wrote-is to be early
in November, and MIR. Stephens is hasten
ing home to do his part in the ceremony.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stephens hate to give up
heir only child, but so long as they are so
Eend Of Mr.. Zane it does not make it so bad.
He is now stationed at the Bremerton Navy
1ard, but of course you can't tell how long
le will be there. In December the Con-
yressman and Mrs. Stephens will return to
Washington for tine winter. No, my dear,
do not know who the attendants will be,
'ecause the list is not altogether complete,
nut will tell you when do know.
So
While whole lot of the younger men,
'ers OF the smart set have returned to town
o rest up for the winter season, others seem
,erfechy welded to mountain resorts, anc
vflere riding and driving are great fea-

nd at the Manor House in Maryland, and
10 various country clubs. When Mrs. Seth
