,,.uous but as l continue my little tale

.ost there is Aileen Sedgwick's engage.

+, that city yesterday Alleen is the
laughter of Mrs. Harry Sedgwick, Of
Nsw York. and until the war lived the
ceater part of her life in France and

vtts' guest, and was very much liked by
hs Philadelphia men and girls, and has
Visited here frequently since then. She
,s very pretty. dark and slender, and Of
,our-e. her education abroad has been a
rreat asset in the matter Of conversation.
A e.rl wm mas been abroad for some
years car PUT 1t all over the others who
have stuck close to horne. The very fact
Of going away from home and having
10 rely sn oreself, so to speak is char.
,cter.bulldng don't you think?
Miss Sedgwick has been staying for a
,hort tlrnt in Chelsea and returned last

Jim 1aylo. u the youngest Of 'he chill.
drsn Of u's James Blackstone Taylors, of
sN3 Park sUenue. New York. (Oh what a
difference tstween Park avenue in New
YORK. anS pGk avenue in Philly! For
tunately for Aileen this is in New York;
He has gone into the war as an aviator
and is at present stationed at the naval
acrOnautic station at Bayshore, l.. l., and,
Of course, expects to join our other Ameri.
can aviators in France very soon. No
date has been set for the wedding, but |
expect it will take place before he leaves.
N'HE other matter of interest connected
with New Yorker is the wedding of
Daisy Polk who is a cousin of Frank
Polk, who married Lily Potter, of this
city, you remember, and is now stationed
in Washington, where he is counselor of
the American State Department. (Some
New Yorker nor of the East at all, for
that matter, for she halls from San Fran
cisco. Perhaps, after all this preamble
you might like to know who ii was that
raisy married. Well, his name is Marie
Joseph Louis Robert de Buyer, and, what
is more he is a general in tie French
army. The Polks stand very high in
Washington, I understand, and you re-
member when the Hon. Arthur Balfour
was here their home was one of the few
private houses in which he dined. Lily
Potter Polk is the daughter Of the Jimmie
Pullera of this city. Her mother was Lily
StL:gis one Of the four sisters so justly
faL.eo for their good looks and beautiful
figures, and " s Polk has the same stun
Ehg figure 5rd charming poise of man
ner 1t is natural, therefore, for us to be
interested in the marriage of this young
American girl and the French general
NhU is a cavalry officer. The wedding
took place very recently In Nitrimont
and was witnessed by General Petain
commander-in-chief of the French armies
and a group of other officers.
Madame de Buyer before her marriage
had been in charge Of the reconstruction
OF the village of Vitrimont, which Mrs
William II. Crocker, of San Francisco
has Undertaken TO do. She had put the
former Miss Polk in charge Of the under
taRiLg. and hear she will keep up hei
work there.
