ried. OF course, there were men concerned
in all these weddings. They may, as sen-
eral thing, be quite important personages-
but they don't count much at the wedding
do they?
And hear that in one day $40 marriage
licenses were issued in New York!
Sara Barneys marriage to Joseph Brady
took place under rather interesting circum-
stances. She has been pupil at the Holton-
Arms School, and when she decided to be
married in Washington Mrs. Holton offered
her house. Then, MIR. Brady is The son, by
a former marriage, of Sara's ssepfather.
As came down Sixteenth street the other
evening Ethel Norris waved at me, but
didn't realize she was waving goodbye for a
good long time. Sne sailed few days later
for Europe with the Harvey CAROLS, and may
not be back for year. DR.. Carroll has been
made consul at Venice, and Ethel, who is a
great friend of Mrs. Carroll, will make their
home her headquarters during an extended
stay abroad She has a lovely voice, and will
doubtless devote some time to its cultivation
before her return. Nancy Johnson sailed with
Ethel and the CAROLS, but will probably
leave them later on to visit elatives in Ger
many.
A little bird has just fluttered in with the
interesting rumor of Anne Darsie's engage
ment to Washington man. You know she
is the girl from Pittsburgh who has visited
Frances Miller so often since her debut and
with whom Frances has spent so much time,
both at home and on wonderful automobile
trips. The engagement isn't announced YET,
but my little bird had it on pretty good au-
thority and don't mind telling you that the
mans name begins with an S. There, that
will set you guessing, and suspect you will
be calling me names. Anne Darsie Is q
striking looking girl, dark and rather tall, b
distinct contrast to Frances, with her tiny
slim figure ard splendid red hair.

had quite a little chat on Wednesday
with Mrs. George Wade Martin, ''as was
Stephanie Trescot" She was then in a hurry
seeing to the moving of her family the fol-
lowing day to Blue Ridge Summit, Pa,
where they have taken cottage for the
summer. You see, Lieutenant Martin is in
Vera Cruz and her brother-in-law, Lieut..
Philip Torrey is attached to the New York,
so the girls decided to come back near home
for the summer and be with their mother,
Mrs. Stephen Trescot. Stephanie is accom-
panied by her fve-month-old baby, Charles
Worthington Martin, named for his grand
father, and Bessie has her two little tots with
her. She has boy and girl; three years ano
eighteen months are their respective ages,
Such a dandy time as the girls and their
little families could have if the sailor hus-
bands could only get here.
OF course, I've not had dip in it my
self, but they do tell me that Mr.. and Mrs.
Hennen Jennings had a bathing pool built
as feature of the home they gave Katherine
when she and Chauncey Hackett were mar
ried, recently. II is made of marble, with
gorgeous ornamentation, and is said to have
cost $4,000.
lust think of little Esther Cleveland
wearing her grandmother's gown to be pre-
sented at the Court of ST. James! know
she must have looked attractive. Her grand
mother, as Miss Harmon, wore the same
gown over fifty years ago, when she was pre-
sented to Queen Victoria. II is made of
Venetian point lace along very simple lines,
and must have contrasted strangely with the
gowns of today.
And just think of the suffragette causing
a furore at court!
Do you remember Jack MacMurray? He
is now in Peking, attached to the legation
there, and seems to be having a wonderful
time. His latest stunt is the renting OF a
temple in the hills, where he expects to pass
the summer and where his mother and Ethel
are going to visit him. They left recently for
China, but are going via Europe and the
Suez Canal, so will be some time.en route.
This has been wedding week with a

Sara Barney were all Washington brides of

say that the girl was so attractive and had
such confding way of saying to each man
with whom she danced, "Oh, do please break
in and rescue me; the rest of these men
bore me So" Now, the question in her mind
and mine, too-is what will happen when
the men get together.

years ago who had regular code, and never
yet have met man from Baltimore who
did not tell you exactly the same thing,
while, on inquiry, would find that he had
whispered the same sweet nothings to at
least every other girl in the room.
1t is a shame, though, to so debase the
gentle art of "jollying" If done discree'ly,
with due regard for the personality of the
man or woman in question, it is possible to
say something nice to each person in the

That REQUIRES real cleverness, however, and
few people will take the trouble.

Natalie briggs and her mother are going
to desert jamestown this summer. They
have been members of the summer colony
there for several years and enthusiastic
about the place, but this year, with the ships
in Mexican waters, Natalie says it bids fair
to be decidedly stupid, so they are off for
pastures new. They expect to remain in
Washington as long as the cool weather
lasts, then 60 North to some as yet undecid-
ed place, to stay till the middle of July, when
Magnolia will claim them for the rest of the
summer.
Course Margaret Wilson is a very hu-
man and natural sort of girl. Someone
was telling me just today story proving
that. 1t seems as if Elena Kirmes, the Aborn
opera singer who appeared in LA Boheme"
and Martha at the National this week, is
an old friend of Margarets, and she has GER
tainly not lacked attentions this week. Early
in the week Margaret, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. William Hit, occupied box, and
at intermission they went back, and then
later in the week Margaret had another box
party, tdklHS HcI SucStS udSh W HlSOl HiiSS
Kirmes.
Flowers by the ton have adorned tho
singers dressing room, and clusters of Amer
can Beauty roses from the White House
have been handed over the footlights most
often.
Once, in New York, believe it was,
Margaret Wilson was having luncheon some
where, and Miss Kirmes came into the din
ing room, and, spying her, joined her. When
the waiter presented the check, the Presi-
dents daughter was amazed to discover that
she had not enough coin to pay it. She calm
ly borrowed from Miss Kirmes whom she
had invited to be her guest. Then another
time when Margaret Wilson was visiting be-
hind the scenes, she and Miss Kirmes be-
came so engaged in conversation that the
singer failed to heed the call bell, and the
time for the curtain was almost there before
they realized it. Miss Wilson just pulled off
her gloves and played maid to Miss Kirmes,
and she was dressed in time, but with little
to spare.
