The Washington herald., 1919-02-02

The Warrens have been in WASH
| ingon about two years next summer.
The first summer they were here they
leased the Britton farm. near Be
thesda, from the Murray Cobbs. who
! had it at that time. 1t was just
/ about then that Murray Cobb, who
was a lieutenant in the national
guard, was ordered to Admission. Ala.
/ 1t was so sad about the death of Mrs
! Cobb's brother. Burrell Hun, who
passed away few weeks ago OF the
! influenza in France. He was d very
goOd-loOking youth.
The Warrens are a charming family
and will be greatly missed IL they go
away from Washington. Mrs. Warren
| had many friends in this city before
| she came here to live foremost among
them Mrs. LarZ Anderson and Nine.
!! de Riano. She was Miss Helen Wet
mere. Before they took the Aleshire
! house it was rented by Mr.. and Mrs.
| Charles Whitman Wetmore whom
many supposed, because of the name,
| were related to Mrs. Warren but
! there isn't any connection. There was
| much confusion among the Warrens
| when they first came TO Washington
| for there were already then two other
| families by that name in Washington
| society. There are the Charles War
rens. Mr. Warren being one of the AS
| sistant Attorney Generals, and then
the Charles Elliot WarTcns. These
| Warrens are the Charles Bliss War
rens. Mrs. Warren loaned her house
all summer and fall for the daily
meetings of the Reserve officers Unit
of the Red Cross. 1t was composed
]
the period of the war and finally broke
up because so many of the members
left town.
Mrs. Sherman Haight. wife OF Capt
Haight was the head of the unit
which turned out enormous Quanti-
ties of surgical dressings for the Red
Cross. Capt. HaiGht, who was inva-
lided home from FRANCE a month or
so ago. hopes to get out of the service
soon but even if he succeeds. the
Haights expect to remain here indcfi-
nitely. They claim New York as their
home but they haven't lived there
very much and don't know for sure
whether they will go there upon leav-
ing Washington or not. Mrs. Haights
sister. Laura Lyon, of New York, is
with them for the winter and is hav-
ing just a beautiful time here. She
is just nineteen and most attractive
She runs around mostly with the
debutante set, Anna Hamlin, Enid
Sims and those girls. Her brother,
Robert Lyon, was here for a few days
but left Thursday for Hampton, Va,
where he has been ordered He was
stationed at Pensacola, Fla. for quite
a while. He is in the naval aviation
but hopes to get out Of the service
soon.
Most of the reserve officers
, are anxious to be released now
that the war is over. Maj. Ray
mond Dykmond Dykema is here

den while trying to get out OF
the service. Col. Goodloe Edgar ex-
poets to get out soon, perhaps some
time next week. The Edgars are PLAN
