Mrs. Jefferson Davis Young an
nounce the engagement of their daughter,
Robyn, to Edwin Augustus Peoples, of Al
hnta, Ga.
Aren't you surprised? When Robyn called
the announcement public just gasped. She
has just returned TO town from their country
place in Maryland and from making series
Of motor trips with her folks in their hand
some new car, which, by the way, Robyn has
learned to run wonderfully well.
Of course, you remember who Mr.. Pee
pies is, and i know you met him at the Coun-
try Club when you were in Atlanta last year.
He is tall and blond, and one of the most
popular men down there, and pretty well
known all through the South. He is related
TO nearly every one south of the Mason and
Dixon line, believe and just the right per-
son for Robyn to marry, think.
The wedding is going to be shortly after
Christmas, and is going to be large affair
with long string of attendants and lots OF
out-of-town guests and all sorts of parties be-
fore for them, and done in the very hosptable
Young style.
Shut your eyes and open your mouth
Here is sugar plum, and it is just reward
for your xhtience Ii is something material
about the White House wedding. OF course,
+ appreciate your anxiety. know You
would not be SO curious about it were it
real everyday wedding happen
Ing every year or even every few years, but
when it is an event-the marriage OF
Presidents daughter in the White House
which has happened less than half-dozen
times before in hundred years, why, OF
course. one just can't be patient. But things
are materializing now in perfectly delicious
shape. The wedding invitations are ready to
be sent out, and, whether or not they have
gold White House crest On them, as had
Alice Longworth's everybody is just dying to
own one. Miss Jessie Wilson herself seems
less myth since she came down town on
Thursdays and had luncheon at the Young
Woman's Christian Association headquarters,
and did some shopping. You know she is
one of the national officers of the associa-
tion. and she is so terribly interested. Then,
Yesterday morning ! nearly expired when
some ,ae came in and told me that Francis,
Bowes Sayre, the Gance, was actually IN the
White House. My, but how real things
seemed to be getting. Then Mrs. Wilson and
the very pretty Miss Bones went over to
Baltimore shopping-just kind OF stole away
as it were, and then Friday morning some
cousins came up from New Orleans, of
course, to see the wedding fnery. The girls
are Miss Lucie Smith and Miss Mary Smith,
and arc the same interesting persons whom
YOU met at Cornish last summer, when they
visited at the President sumrier home. Now,
Miss Susan is not that news, and IS 1t not
worth waiting for?
Between ourselves. | am beginning to
wonder about the debutantes. 1t seems 20
me that it is almost time dates were being
set for their contingent parties. So far
Marv Cheen and Eleanor Carroll Morgan
are the only ones who have settled upon
anything.
In other cities the little season is well
on. for in New York parties are being ar
ranged for the buds who are coming Out BY
the hundred.
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Gheen are going
to present Mary at large dansant at Rausch-
crs on November %, and Dr.. and Mrs.
Iames Dudley Morgan have also chosen
date in Thanksgiving week for Eleanor. She
will make hci initial bow at tea at the
Morgan country place, Dudlea, in Chevy
Chase.
Geneveve Clarke won't make formal
debut. I'm sure, but she is being considered
debut She told me one time, or her
mother did, forget which, that she is never
coming out, because she never was in, so
that, settles the matter. Gcnevieve grows
prcttier all the time and she is so interested
and interesting. Suffrage is her latest fad,
and her whole heart and soul are in it, too.
Callie Hoke Smith, the daughter of Sen
ator and Mrs. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, will
be bud this year, but she will not come
cut until December, because the whole Hoke
Smith family is going TO remain in Atlanta
