next day, October Is. passed very

golf links. 1t was the first time in
about a week that they had been able
to do 1t. I believe Mrs. Boiling and

some thing that happened during the
week was the Presidents trip down to
Cats late Monday afternoon to buy
his wife's birthday present. There was
unrest in the air. It was known that
Germany and America were not to be
kept long in suspense. The President
had returned to Washington immedi-
ately on receipt OF Prince Maximilian's
answer on behalf of the Central EN-.

nounced that the Secretary Of State

the shop! The one or two passersby
who had seen him go in fingered &c

few minutes there was a crowd there
that almost blocked traffic. The Pres

THINGS certainly have been hap
pening this week-all sorts Of
= things. From Lucy Burleson's
engagement they have ranged through
a highly interesting correspondence
with Germany, a White House birth
day and the entertainment Of q dis
tinguished British educational mission,
to the Fourth Liberty Loans Anal
drive. And through II all there has
gone on the grim fight with the "fiu."
which Washington in common with
the rest of the country has been wag-
ing. Isn't that rather a wide range
for one week, with the necessity the
while OF going through mechanically
with the usual motions Of living?
To begin with. Lucy Burleson's en-
gagement. 1t was Just after the des-
patch OF my last letter that the Post
master-General and Mrs. Albert Sid
ney Burleson announced the engage
ment Of their elder daughter. Lucy
Kyle. to Ensign Charles Greene
Grimes. u. s. N. of Dayton. Ohio.
There is no better known or better
liked girl than Lucy Burleson In
times her engagement has been ru-
mored, usually to some one socially
and officially important, and now she
comes along with this demure an
i nouncement of her intention to marry
a mere Ensign.
Miss Burleson never made a formal
debut She preferred school to So
ciety, and after graduating from
Sweetbrier Academy in Virginia she
entered George Washington Univer-
sity, from which she was graduated
about two years ago. Then she en-
tered a business college and took a
secretarial course, so that when Uncle
Sam began pressing women into the
service she was ready when wanted.

He is at any rate holding down the

to be rather crowding out his hair,

simply, shakes hands and asks what

He claims to be 3s, and pretty nearly
looks the part. There are a few
younger diplomats and a whole lot who
are older. He doesn't see why you
