Engagement Of Interest Here.

The announcement Saturday of the en-
gagement of Lieut. Theodore Marburg.
jr., and the Baroness Geselle de Vavario
of Belgium, news of which was cabled
to Mrs. MarburG Friday by Mr.. Mar
burg. former minister to Belgium. is
of interest to Washington society. as
the young officer in the Royal British
Flying Corps is almost as we'll known
here as his sister, Nine. Van Starken-
borgh Stachouwer, who Miss Mar
burg was frequent guest al the White
House of Miss Helen Taft, who in turn
often went to Baltimore to visit the
Marburg family at their home in West
Mount Vernon place.
Lieut.. Marburg. who is twenty-five
years old. and eldest son of the former
diplomat. was student at oxford Uni
versity when the war broke out, but
returned home d few months later. only
to return TO Enelan and enlist in the
Royal British Flying Corps.
He was rated a second lieutenant and
sent in to action. In December he had a
two hundred-foot fall from his aero
plane and was seriously wounded in the
head and leg. the latter injury later
proving the more grave of the two. as
amputation of the leg became necessary.
His father sailed to Europe as soon as
he heard of the injury to his son, and
was with him when the oDeration took
place.
From time to time reports have drifted
back to the effect that the young SOL
der had married one OF the most beau
tIfui young women Of title in Belgium.
The announcement Yesterday, therefore.
of the engagement definitely settled all
rumors.
Mrs. Marburs. his r,other expects the
Baroness Geselle de Eavario to sail with
her husband and son for this country this
month. and anticipates that when the
party arrives the son and his fiancee
will already have been married The
latter is said to he a beauty and of one
OF BelSium's finest families
