60 ELIZABETH THOMPSON and John

April 81. I've been expecting the news
for some time. for when' their engagement
was announced twas said that the wedding
would probably take place in the spring.
John has been living in New York with
his parents for some years. and though
he has come back to Philadelphia for
number of his family's parties he is dis
tinctly New Yorker. have not seen
him since he grew to full mans estate,
but he was a good-looking youngster and
an extremely nice one and from all the
fine things l have heard about him. I have
no reason TO think that he has changed
in any respect In fact, I understand
Elizabeth is about to marry a mighty fine
fellow.
He was not passed for the army, some
physical defect, 7 believe. which kept him
from being a good soldier, so he entered
heart and soul into " NJ. c. \. work and
has done splendid things.
! am sorry to hear Mrs Drexel, who Is
out in Santa Barbara, is too i'll to come
. East for the wedding. I do not mean that
she is dangerously ill., but she has had a
severe sickness, and it is not judged wise
for hef to take the trip. She was Miss
