OF the romances nearer home there
Is that OF the marriage OF Louise
Bayne and Lieut.. Proctor. OF the
Royal Flying Corps, and the engage
! ment just announced of Anne Hopkins
and Capt. John Gregory Hope, OF the
British army. 1t seems that they have
been engaged for some weeks, and 1
am not surprised to hear 1t, for Capt.
Hope has been most devoted for a
long time. They make a handsome
pair, and he is said to be a delight
full and very fine man. Miss Hopkins
! Is decidedly one of the handsomest
| girls In Washington, also one Of the
1 most charming. The home Of DR.. and
Mrs. Hopkins in Edgemoor has been
a sort of Sunday afternoon rendez-
vous for many OF the English officers
In town, but I suspected that Capt.
Hope was the favored one, for I have
often passed the young couple STROLL

too near-or motoring together. DR..
and Mrs. Hopkins rented their new

moved in themselves. Lieut.. Waldo
johnson has it, and the Hopkins have
occupied the home of DR.. Hopkins
mother. Mrs. F. A. NJ. Hopkins, which
Is near their own house, and she in
turn, has been most of the winter
with another son, DR.. Alfred Hopkins,
who also has home in Edgemoor.
Edgemoor has figured much In the
vital records lately, with births as well
as marriages to its credit Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Robb $50 often confused
with Justice Robb), have a new young
son, as have Lieut.. and Mrs John

home with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Harding, while her husband
is at sea. Mrs. Field has a brother in
the service too; Is with the Aeroplane
| Cops abroad.
A romance, centered about a not
distant neighbor of the Hopkins cul-
minated in the announcement of the
engagement last week: that of Judge
Stanton Peele and Mrs. Bertha B.
! Byrne.
Judge Peele is one Of the most de-
lightful men I have ever met and

OF that age. He is interested in every
thing that goes on. especially in all
civic matters. He has a beautiful
home in Chevy Chase, the old Glennon
house. on Connecticut avenue, lust
opposite the Newlands-Corby house.
His son and daughter-in-law have
lived with him for years and the lat
! ter has kept house for him all that
time as his late wife was an invalid
for a long time before her death.
Young Mrs. Peele was Miss Julia
Ravenel, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. de c. R4venel. Of this city, and a
perfectly delightful young person,
adored by Judge Peelle. Young Mr..
and Mrs. Peelle have several beau@
tiful children, Stanton Sd, little Betty
and another daughter whose name I
cannot recall. Like his father, Stan
| ton, jr., is a lawyer.
There is one happy bride hereabouts
and that is Mrs. Joseph Kuhn, The
War Department took her husband
away from her and sent him to Eu-
rope before he had belonged to her
but a few weeks. Now he is back
safe and sound and in order to see
him frequently she has takn a house
in Laurel. She only comes into town
about once every fortnight. When the
weather was such that the travelling
is bad on the road between Camp
Meade and Laurel, the general makes
the trip on horseback.
The Band Box is fiourishing be-
yond the fondest hopes Of Mrs. Lam
sing and those conducting the shop.
Mrs. Lansing said before the shop
was opened that II they cleared $500
she would be happy. Bless, your
heart! They cleared over $1,000 the
first week. By Tuesday of last week
they had over 5000 more net profit.
But while they are piling up this
wealth. they are selling out all their
stock, which sorely needs replen-
