JEAN ELIOT%
LETTER.


both girls will be June brides Annie
Wright Huske is to marry Gustavus
George Reiniger on the fifth of June,
and pretty little Clarinne Hunter will
become the. bride Of Francis Alton Con-
molly on June s.
Annie Wright Huske, as you prob
ably. remember. is the girl who was
pronounced by c. de Lyon Nichols, Of
New York, the prettiest girl at the
Southern Relief ball. On that occasion
one Of the papers called her charm
ing visitor in Washington" which call
ed forth righteous protest; for, though
the Huske family halls originally from
the far South, they have lived in Wash
ington, for years. she has grown up
here, and. is thoroughly identified with
the Capital.
Mr.. Reiniger "bilged" from the Naval
Academy year or two ago. and
little bird has whispered in my ear
that he did 1t a purpose. as he was too
much in love to be willing to abide by
the regulation then in effect that
naval officer must finish his two-year
cruise before being allowed to marry.
Be that as 1t may. 1t is a fact that
he always had done extremely we'll in
his studies. before; and, after being
found in navigation, he turned to and
invented some sort of an instrument
for simplifying the science, which has
attracted considerable attention and has
been the subject of experiment both on
merchant vessels and navy craft.
He is now engaged in the real estate
business with Annie Wright's father,
Clement Wright Huske. l believe, and
is doing remarkably we'll for a young
man. The wedding will take place at
"Ardmore," the Huskes' new place on
the Rockville road which joins the
John Joy Edison farm on the north.
They leased "Croxall'' in that neck Of
the woods last summer and liked 1t so
well that they decided to build-and
now "Ardmore" Is all ready to be the
scene Of q charming country wedding.
The entrance Is by way of the Edison
lane. a fine strip of macadam road.
which Mr.. Edison built and presented to
the county.

Clarinne Is a clever horsewoman. as

show-two years ago. I think 1t was

She is graduate of Miss Somers'
School, and of the Baldwin School in
Bryn Mawr, and spent last winter IN
New York. She is a clever little per-

the magazines with no little success.

Mr.. Connolly, who is the son of F. A.
Connolly, of Baltimore, and whose uncle
was mayor of Baltimore in 1908. is with
Hartman & Co., in Washington.
He is a graduate of the~University
Of Virginia. His brother is president Of
the Baltimore National Bank.
The wedding will be very simple, and
Ramona Lefevre will be the brides only
attendant. although Helen Haupt and
Miss n. p. Putnam will come on from
New York to be house guests of the
Hunters for the occasion. The young
people will live In washington.

Rear Admiral and Mrs. Mason and
Dorothy Mason expect to join the navy

the girls who frequent the quaint
old resort, is praying for the presence
of the fleet during the summer months.

Mr. and Mrs. Christian Hem,nick's din

ward. last evening, set in motion the
festivities in compliment to the Mahara-
tah of Kapurthala and the Maharanee
Prem Kaur. Only the tragedy of the
Lusitania prevented the fortnight of
their visit in New York from being the
gayest two weeks in May for many
years and, as 1t was. they were guests
at number of notable functions. One
of the most interesting was the dinner
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Burial
Hoffman, for probably not only the hosts
but some of the guests were reminded
