that very few know just what
happened" 81
Meanwhile there are others going
over. Not a day goes by that one
does not hear that some one else Is

such word has come Of the two Denys
girls. Dorothy and Gwendolyn.
daughters Of the Rev. and Mrs. #.
Ward Denys; and Of Mrs. Carl vroo-

Mural. who has been up in Maine
with her parents and one remaining
sister. has come down to New York
and Joined Miss Alice Wharton In her
presentation OF the needs OF war work

Very few. however. had any idea
that Mrs. Vrooman was going over.
She was supposed TO be at Charlexoix
with her mother. Mrs. Matthew Scott,
for the summer. and Il was known
that the Vroomans had renewed their
lease on the big roomy Eighteenth
street house that they had occupied
for the last two years. They got in

For instance. here's an interesting
wedding that happened two weeks
ago-and I've only Just had the an

gressional set Is interested. Another
which has just been announced is
that OF Miss Fannie Chamberlain,
daughter Of Senator and Mrs.
George E. Chamberlain, Of Oregon,
to Hugh Tevis. Of Portland. of
which news has only just reached
her Western home about a week
ago.
Miss Chamberlain was educated
in Washington. where Senator
Chamberlain and family lived for
school in Portland. She made her
formal debut in Portland. but spent
the winter following in Washington,
and has been at Long Beach, wash,
at the Chamberlain summer home.
AfV was
at a tea given by the prospective
brides sister-in-law, Miss Cornelia
Tevis. in her honor. A few of the
younger society girls OF Portland
were asked for the afternoon and
the hostess surprised them by max
ing the occasion a festivity in COM
pliment to Miss Chamberlain.
Showers of good wishes greeted the
telling of the news of the day. No
date has been set for the wedding.
Miss Chamberlain is a charming
and interesting girl and socially
popular. Mr.. Tevis is not known
in Washington. He is said to be
socially prominent and popular in
clubdom. but is apparently entirely
a product OF the great West, hav-
ing graduated from the WASHINGTON
High School of Portland and later
attended business college and
taken special courses.
