Shock for Washington Beaux
In Miss DeIanO's Engagement.

The announcement of Laura De-
lano's engagement to James Lawrence
Houghteling, of Chicago, must have
come as a shock to a good many
Washington beaux, for l know of no
two girls who are more popular or
have had more attention than the two
Delano girls. There are as yet no
definite plans for the wedding, as the
date of Mr.. HoughteIing's return from
Russia, where he is spending a year
or so as special secretary to Ambas-
sador Francis, is uncertain.
Mr.. Houghteling, it appears, Is net
taking up diplomacy as a career, but
rather is trying to see something of
American can see 1t nowadays. before
returning to his fathers business.
The late James Lawrence Houghtel-
ing was the Junior partner in the
banking firm of Peabody & Hough-
telling, which is as well known in Chi
cago and through the middle West as
J. p. Morgan in New York or the
Riggs Bank here. He was a devout
Episcopalian, a warden of fashion
able st. James Church and was for a
time national head of the Brother
hood of St Andrew.
The Houghtelings always have been
leaders in the social activities of the
Lake View section of Chicago. where
the Delanos lived, and 1 suspect that
the acquaintance of the two young
people dates from the days when they
made mud pies together.

Had Church wedding and
Military wedding to Boot.

The late Justice Harlan's charming
young kinswoman elected to have
a simple home wedding, with only
her two sisters for bridesmaids; but
Commander Jackson and Miss Surth
had a church wedding and a military
wedding TO boot. 1t was a very
pretty ceremony, and the bride, In
her ,girlish gown of georgette crepe,
puffed about the hem in Turkish fash
ion and made with train and tight
fitting bodice of silver cloth, seemed
singularly unaffected and winning.

Miss Erskine, who has been at

shortly after the war broke out, being
one OF the assistants Of Sir Richard
Crawford, the embassys commercial
adviser. attained modest fame when
her name appeared in the diplomatic
list with the other secretaries. This
was the first time the name Of a wo-
man secretary-and there have al
ways been woman secretaries at the
various embassies-had ever appeared
in this list, which is published month
ly by the State Department, and adj
mission to whose pages is difficult OF
achievement.
Miss ErskIne Has Filled Post
with Admirable Devotion.
Miss Erskine is the daughter OF the
late Thomas Erskine, who was a
member of the British consular ser
vice most of his life. and died while
consul at New Orleans. Because she
had lived much Of her life in Wash
ington, she was considered singularly
ftted for the duties which fall to the
lot Of those women secretaries, who
heretofore have been classed as diplo-
mats, although they often have eX-
ceedingly delicate duties 10 perform.
She has hlled the post with admir-
able discretion, and is a great favor

Lady Spring Rice. Mr.. Seymour has
been a member of the embassy staff

Strange Sensations Probably Felt
By Some Diplomats Now.

I'm wondering how 1t feels to
come over here Il diplomat, accred-
tied representative of a monarchy,
or an empire-and the sacred person
of your ruler-and suddenly ind
said rulers person has ceased to be
sacred and that your government is
changeling child.
There have been three perfectly
good representatives of aristocracies
in the Diplomatic Corps here who
have had that thrilling experience
in the last few years. First, Wis
count d'Alte, who was PortugaPs
minister here under the monarchy
and remained-and still remains.
He has been here since 1902, and IL
really the dean of the corps, though
NJ. Jusserand. who came the follot-
ing year, ranks him, being an am
bassador while he is only minister.
Then, there was Mr.. Chang, who
came over as the representative OF
the Chinese empire-most ancient
and conservative of governments
and remained for at least a year as
representative of the Chinese repub-
lie. And now the Bakhmeteffs, for
years in the diplomatic service of
the most absolute of imperial gov
ernments, find themselves, for the
moment at least. representing a de-
mocracy, SO democratic that IL
hasn't even a president, but is being
run by a council.

The Changs seemed to me to be in
the hardest case, though they GER
tainly adjusted themselves without
any apparent struggle. Mr.. Chang
himself was typical OF the old re-

The sadness OF Major Elvin Hell
berg's recent death. so-sudden and so
far from home, was borne in upon me
particularly hard the other day, as /
passed the pleasant little home in
Edgemoor which he and Mrs Heiberg
built and which they never occupied.
The Junior Maury Doves have IL now.
Major Heiberg was stationed in
Washington for several years. but was
ordered away before the little house,
in whose planning he took so much
pleasure, was completed. He was on
border duty for a while. and was or
dered to Rome as military attache to
succeed Col. George NJ. Dunn, i'm Feb

formerly Anna Dodge, and her chill

husband was on the Mexican border.

until May. Possibly the most inter-
esting military wedding of the spring
will take place on April 16, when
Mary Irwin, daughter of Commander
and Mrs. William Manning irwin u
S. N, will become the bride OF Lieut.
Thomas b. Larkin, Corps of Engl-
neers, U. S. A. Miss Irwin is a niece
of Nine. Thiebaud, wife of the French

scented to society by her aunt both
in Stockholm, and in Paris, in adcl-

Miss Wilson's Denial Puts Quietus
On RumOr of Engagement
Margaret Wilson's denial of the re-
port of her engagement to Frank h
Compton, a prominent Chicago pub
Usher, put a quietus-for the mo-
ment-on constantly recurring
rumor. Miss Wilson and Miss Bones
are the only members of the Presi-
dents household who have not awaited
themselves of the opportunity OF
being heroines of White House ro-
mances, and the public is loath to be-
lieve that they are going to let the
chance slip by entirely.
As a matter of fact. while there
was no astonishment at the rumor,
nor yet at its immediate contradic-
ton, neither would there be any sur
prise at an official announcement at
any time. The denial of any engage
ment means absolutely nothing except
that it is not yet tO'be announced,
even If true; and 1t may be remem-
bered that Eleanor Wilson's engage
ment to Secretary McAd9p was denied
in an official statement Signed by the
White House social secretary and
emanating from Mrs. Wilson twenty
four hours or less before it was off,
cially announced.

In February she was in Chicago tell

been in Baltimore making a like con-

strengthening her campaign fences

One assumes that she has read her

least a fairly strong indication of sue
