last November he bought one out on
Kennedy street. and the Kitchin fam
lily is likely to be better known In
Washington than it has been. 1t was
up In the Kennedy street residence
that Miss Gertrude and the man of
her heart. a young farmer from their
home neighborhood down at Scotland
Neck, were united in marriage last
Wednesday, at high noon, the Rev.

But, even though Il Is Easter Week
sacred by every tradition to brides
and weddings and trousseaus, there
are other things in life after all. For
instance. there is that new Liberty
Loan, and the drive for 1t that is just

McAdoo, went down to Hot Springs
last Sunday to get their breath and

explaining instead.
Mrs. McAdoo is really developing
into 4 great little driver in her de-

busy husband; also she Is developing
INTO Q very acceptable little public
speaker. She has great charm. and
wonderful poise. and she has studied
her subject thoroughly. Moreover, her
