Worse for Sweethearts.

It's even worse for the sweethearts.
Dorothy Brooks and Henry Holcombe
have just about completed preparations
FOR their marriage on Wednesday, and
II would be nothing less than q tragedy
for him to be ordered away. However,
Dorothy has the consoline thought that
there probably will be no immediate call
for the engineers in this part OF The
world. and, moreover. Henry has Some
sort OF a quartermaster' job and could
rot easily he spared.
On the other hand. so obvious was the
possibility OF Lieut.. John T. Wheeler's
being sent to the border with the Fifth
Cavalry from Fort Leavenworth, that
his fancee, Marie Newton. went West
to- join him.
They were married, yes. at the fort.
THE bride was given in marriage by

As a by-product of the excitement in
Mexico the army polo matches which
we're scheduled for mid-April have been
called on Even should things nave
cleared up by that time there will have
been no time for -he necessary prac-

matory rheumatism he had in the fall

since his illness last Sunday.
Mrs. LaursOn to Visit Capita.
Since Capt Emil p. Laurson has gone
TO the border from Fort oglethorpe. it
ia probable that Mrs. Laurson, accom-
panied by her small daughter, Betty.
VIII come to Washington to visit her
parents. Gen. and Mrs. Albert l.. Mills.
She has not quite made up her mind.
as coming North for any legth OF time
would entail the closing of her house
and storing of her furniture. but Mrs.
Mills is hoping to have her daughter
and Granddaughter with her from April
until June,
Geenral Mills. who has been suffering
from an attack of grip. is convalescinG

that such wide range Of choice means

Today, alta leading importers, was
seen an interesting costume Of the new
soft failie in mulberry shade. Il was
DELIGHTFULLY."- suggestive OF the 1900
period and Of the auaintness thar IS
always TO be found there. The skirt
was very full and berufiicd, and the
coat was slightly short wasted with
a peplum and bell-shapcd sleeves and
a bic SQUARE collar Of mole skin. while

There was the usual straight gathered
skirt with a band Of velvet at the

wasted bodice OF velvet which, in
this case, was richly embroidered.
There were close fitting sleeves but TO
give a modern touch, these sleeves
were Of crepe and the neck of the

The afternoon costume is always
an important one. there are 20
many interesting functions that take
place between luncheon and dinner.
Here is a very attractive gown that
combines a fine French serge with
velvet and one OF the newest and
smartest coats that is made OF
burella cloth with iur trimming.
The cloth is a velours with diagonal
weave and is very beautiful.
The coat is a simple, loose one, easy
to make and requiring no fitting, but
il is exceedingly smart N its lines
and the treatment OF the crossed-over
straps in place OF a belt is most at
tractive The skirt that is worn is
one Of the new ones that Is cut in
cores and shows the seams and the
lower edge finished with cord covered
with the material That treatment is
: revival, as a matter OF fact, but i
new 20 the present generation and
found extremely attractive on skirts
Of this sort. Velvet and serge always
combine 70 make d handsome effect.
Here. the gown is further enhanced By
