n KY DEAR SUSAN:
AH If you only knew what
pleasure that letter was, you

pleasure that letter was, you'd
write me another. l. was so good
of you to take little time every
ray to tell me of the trip across. feel al
most as if | had been along. Maybe some day
who knows. Stranger things than that have
happened, and you know my dear Mrs. Grit
18th, up in Maryland, dreamed once that
was starting on a honeymoon trip to Scot
land to visit my kinsmen there. She says
her dreams come true. Of course, she had
that dream long time ago, but still never
heard of there being time limit on dreams
or honeymoons.
Dorothy Parks is certainly going to have
wonderful summer. She has gone to visit
relatives-the Henry X. Capins-in Chi
cago, and then she will visit in Mackinaw,
Forest Springs, Mich, and later she and the
relatives she will have visited all will go
10 the Yellowstone Park and Vancouver.
From your letter have suspicion that
you left your heart with that attractive per-
son you met On the steamer. Anyway, please
90 not do what girl out in Oregon did re-
Gently She invited Esther Foot and Kath-
ryn Hitchcock out to visit her, and they were
packed and ready to start when, day or
two before the time for departure came,
they received wire saying that the young
person had eloped or been married very
suddenly forget which. Of course, the
honeymooners had gone away of to some
place, and the visit had to be abandoned.
1t seems the bridegroom had just been grad
uated from West Point and had only been
in Oregon twenty-four hours when he and
the lady fair decided that three years was a
long time to wait, and they would be mar
ried right off
won't do thing like that, Susan; so
travel, and know there won't be a wedding
party until you come back, anyway.
Mrs. Glazebrook has gone to the V. M.
l. for the commencement exercises. Her
young son, Larkin, jr., is pupil there, just
finishing his first year. His uncle is one OF
the professors, and one of his forbears found
ed the school, 10, these many years ago, which
gives the young men something to live up
10. By the way, did you see that DR.. Glaze
brooks father had been made consul at
jerusalem? He is a clergymen, you know,
and should find his new post interesting.
Yes, the Letters are still in the Orient
TOW, IN China or Japan. The last letters
were from Pekin, where they were having a
wonderful time Juliette wrote Of an inter
esting visit to Port Arthur, where, she said,
|, she had dug In the sand and turned up
enough bones to make Russian. She and
Frsncise Williams were planning to visit
Cheful and several other places of interest,
v+nile the men of the party made a two
weeks trip to the interior Of China Then
to Japan, and after some time there they will
start for home Ii will be fitting climax
70 a fascinating journey to be one of the
very first parties to come through the PAN
ina canal, which is their present plan.
That garden party which Lieut.. Com
Tander and Mrs. Chester Wells gave Satur-
cay afternoon a week ago for the Vice Pres
dent and Mrs. Marshall was about the most
Gelightful party of the whole season. Their
place in Chevy Chase is too pretty for words
md just ideal for such party. They have a
center pagoda in the garden which is coE-
cred with Dorothy Perkins roses, and they
were just at their best. Then they have
wonderful American Beauties and lily beds.
Commander and Mrs Wells and their
honor guests received the guests together
and then there were number of others as
listing. Most of the 200 guests were from
army ind Navy circles, with a goodly
5prinkling of residential folks.
A dear little marquee was arranged at one
side and the tea was served from il and little
round tables were here and there on the
avn, at which the guests could sit and chat
md eat bite in comfort.
] wandered into a stationery store the
other day and met Edith Irene Pigeon, busy
looking over wedding cards. We chatted a
while and 'fessed up several things and she
told me that her mother, Mrs Edmond o.
Pigeon, was announcing her engagement to
