PauPs Yesterday-She Chats about Several Engage
ments and Returning Heroes

WELL, the Sharpless wedding took place
w all right, and it was beautiful affair.
Molly Sharpless is very good-looking and
she certainly did make a stunning bride.
Her gown was perfectly beautiful, quite
plain and of shimmering satin, and 1t fell
in the most graceful lines. Though Molly
is not so remarkably pretty as some of her
cousins, she has the Dixon air, and it Is
unmistakable. She has great deal OF
style and have seldom seen any one walk
as we'll The bridesmaids were a mighty
good-looking bunch, too. think Gretchen
Clay is wonder. You know, when you
first see her she does not strike you as very
, beautiful, but she certainly does grow on
you, and yesterday in the blue satin gown
and brown hat. which brought the wonder.
ful auburn shade Of her hair into promi-
nence, she was simply scrumptious.
Margaretta Sharpless, whose illness in
February was the cause of the postpone
ment of the wedding date, looked very
sweet, though rather pale. She had scarlet
fever, you know, and so the marriage,
which was to have taken place on Satur'
day, February 20, was changed to March rs.
Major Pearson, though an Englishman,

nephew of Mrs. Hobart Brown, Mrs. Spen-

He served in the English army during the
war and did splendid work, receiving the
British military cross in 1917
They have taken a house on Springfield
avenue, in Chestnut Hill, and will live there
after their wedding trip.
AND to think Of little Anna Strawbridge
"A being engaged! Why, it does not seem
a minute since I saw her in short white
frock and patent-leather belt, with her hair
down her back, and here she is grown up
and engaged, and the next thing you know
she'll be getting married. Time doesn't fly,
it just whizzes, doesn't 1t? They tell me
Jack Claghorn is fine young fellow. He's
about four years older than Anna, which
is just about right, and so the outlook is
pleasant in every way.
QUITE few. of us are excited to hear
W of Henry Registers engagement to
Mile. Rose Marie Gsn't that a darling
nameD de Montauzan. And not only are
we told Of his engagement, but also the
wedding date has been set, and 1t will be

Henry has TIE Bartol as his second name.
He is in the intelligence division of the
ordnance department at Tours. He Joined
the signal corps in October 1917 and was
later transferred to the ordnance. 1t is ex-
pected that he will bring his bride home
shortly after the wedding in May.
TALKING OF a soldier, did I tell you that
L Claiming Daniel has been mustered
out? About a week ago, I understand, and
he's now with his wife at the Verners'
place in st. Davids. You remember Mrs.
Daniel was katherine Werner. They have
a darling small son, who is staying with
his grandparents too, and they will prob
ably be there for the remainder of this
season.
DILL TAYLOR is home, too He's the
- son of DR.. and Mrs. William Taylor
and a brother of <Newbold Taylor who
married Anne MelTS. Dill married Iaullno
Maynard, of Knoxville, Tenn. Pauline
came up here, you remember, and was
married from the home of her aunt, Miss
Vanuxem, in Chestnut Hill, last June. I
don't think Bill is mustered out yet. He
was wearing his Uniform when I saw him.
but that doesn't tell you anything these
days, because you can wear your khaki
for ninety days after dismissal from the
army, you know.
TNHAT came in we'll at the Victory Ball,
L didn't it? There the tickets, you re-
member, were $40 to all except the men in
uniform, so several who had been mus
tered out and whose time limit. however,
was not yet up, donned their uniforms and
bought their tickets and proceeded to the
ball in solderly array and had a wonderful
time. And why shouldn't they, poor souls!
An officer told me the other day he had
received a commission in September, and
that by the time he received his three
months pay for the three months in the
service before he was mustered out again
he'd still be out some sixty dollars for his
equipment an officer. You know they
have to buy even the mattresses they
sleep on. So this being officer has it's
drawbacks, all right, from financial point
Of view, and don't you forget it.
