1 of her birdlings are flying from the
home nest. and of six children only little
Sarah is left, or rather will be left, in a
short time, for Phoebe's engagement to
young John Weir Sargent, of New York
and Connecticut, was announced yester-
day. AN do you know that makes four

Warren, are in Europe with the expedi-

son and will help to make up for the lone
Illness of the others all being away. And

for Phoebe's wedding yet.
Phoebe just graduated last year from
st. Mary's-on.the.Hu Hudson, the Episcopal
Convent School, which has become so

Young Sargent is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Sargent. His mother was
Miss Louise Weir. They have a country
home In Pine Orchard, Conn, and spend
most of their winters in New York. l hear
