Pretty little Adele Magruder has also
announced her engagement recently to
Lieut. Stuart Geig, L. S. N, and Is to
be married on November II. 1t seems
a pity that the wedding is to take place

such a. pleasant impression here last
winter and has scores Of friends. She
used to play round good deal with
Ida Lee Hempstone. William Burr Har-
rison's niece. who spent the winter with
Mrs. Harrison last year, and such an
attractive pair the two Of them made.
They are both petite. plump, and dainty.
but Adele is a decided brunette and Ida
Lee is rather fair.

Moores marriage to La Verne Waiter
con Bruce. Of Kentucky. came as a
surprise to all but his closest friends.

me.
