along with Miss Kitty Beach, daughter
Of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Beach.
So much for the newly engaged.
Now for the newly WEEDS. There are
two pairs of them who are setting
up housekeeping here In whom Wash
ington Is deeply interested-both the
men New Workers., stationed here on
war duty, and both their brides well
known in Washington. They are En-
sign and Mrs. Paul Warburg. Jr.. and
Lieut.. and Mrs. Albert Lincoln Hoff-
man, Jr. The warburgs, I believe.
are already here. and the Hoffmans
momently expected.
Weddings Interested Washington
Both young couples will find their
circles ready made for them. Paul
Warburg and his bride are both New
Yorkers-she was Miss Katherine
Swift, daughter of Mrs. Samuel Swift
OF New York-and they were mar
ried there about the first Of June. But
Paul Warburg Jr., naturally was well
known in Washington, where Mr.. and
Mrs Paul Warburg, Sr, have been
established for some years, the former
being head of the Federal Reserve
Board.
Mrs. Warburg is really an unusually
talented musician. and made her
debut here last fall in concert work
| with the Rubel Trio. Young War
burg is a Harvard graduate-1916,
with honors-who enlisted almost i'm
mediately after graduation in the
naval reserve aviation section. They
have taken Mrs. j. Mota McGilrs
apartment in the Avondale. she hav-
Ing gone to Nantucket for the sum-
mer.
Lieut.. and Mrs. Albert Lincoln Hoff-
man were the principals in the last
notable wedding in which Washing.
ton was interested. Mrs. Hoffman
was Miss Leta Sullivan of Philadel-
phia up to July 6, when she was mar
ried with great eclat." with a gath
ering of the social clans from New
York, Baltimore and Washington and
a few other Places in Philadelphia 10
do honor to the occasion.
| The Hoffmans and the Sullivans are
about equally we'll known in Wash
ington as frequent visitors, though
the one family belongs in New York.
the other in Philadelphia. The Sulli-
van girls, Leta and Frances, daugh-
tiers of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Sullivan
of Radnor. have been almost as well
known in the ultra smart set here as
any Of its girls who actually lived
! here. They have visited here 80 con-
stant!y. Lieut. Hoffman has taken a
| house in Chevy Chase and is about TO
install his bride there, If indeed they
have not already arrived.
Then there have been two surprise
weddings, both solennized elsewhere
J and neither so fer as ] know, with
the excuse OF probable war orders to
account for the "all Of q suddonness"
| of them. Ono OF the brides is Mrs.
Barker Gummere, who was conspic-
! upus for her hospltalities first as Mrs.
| Andrew Slmonds Of Charleston, s. C.,
whore her husband was president Of
bank and where she had a lovely
! home known as Villa Marehcrita;
then { Mrs Barker Gummere with
home in Princeton, which was
equally the scene OF brilliant enter
/ tanning. and latterlY os n widow here
! in Washington. She married Capt.
Clarence Crittendcn Calhoun OF Ken
lucky and Washington, a former pres
| ident OF the Southern Society here.
The wedding took place at Princeton.
There seems TO he no doubt that

both have many friends Mrs. Gum

handsome home at 1919 New Hamp-
shire avenue a couple of years aeo
and has entertained there frequently
during the past two seasons. She

and Mrs William c. Black. but pre-
sumably will resume possession next
season.
Then only last Wednesday came
word from New York that David Law

paper men in, Washington. sometimes

sonal conviction that there amt no

Eleanor c. DAILY, the wedding taking
place at friends house in seventy

we'll known in Washington. having had
an apartment at 1858 Columbia road
