l. sister Margaretta? She has scarlet
fever, you know, and so Moly's wedding
to Major Pearson has been postponed. The
family and Molly and the Major decided
they wanted to have Margaretta at the
wedding above all things, and they also
wanted to have the church wedding and
home reception as had been originally
planned. No definite Arrangement about a
new date can be made until they learn
when the quarantine can safely be re-
moved.
Major Pearson's ushers gave him a din
ner as they had planned, on Saturday
evening, and he and Molly got their license
last week. Perhaps they will change their
minds and not wait for the big wedding,
but be married quietly. Be that as it may
the present plan is that the wedding will
not take place on February %
DAULINE PAPPENHEIM's wedding
L date came to Mrs. Charles Wheeler by
cable on Saturday. It's to be on Shrove
Tuesday, March A. in London, at her
mothers home. That is, as far as the
family know the cable did not mention
anything but the date and that the mar

church, perhaps at home, thereforeD
The fiance in the case Is Count Raben
OF Denmark. Pauline is very pretty and
looks for all the world like her aunt. Chris
tine, who lives in London, too. You re-
member she married an Englishman, Philip
wainman, who was killed in the early part
of the war. Pauline, who is the daughter
Of the Countess Tappenheim, is niece OF
Mrs. Dick Elliot. Mrs. George Thayer Mrs.
Henry Norris, Mr.. Charles Wheeler and
Mr.. Alexander Wheeler.
As the wedding will take place in a little
more thad two weeks time, the family on
this side of the water will not attend. The
Elliots and Thayers are In deep mourning
Mrs. Elliot for her son Dick who was
killed in the war, and Mrs. Thayer for her
rnother.in-law, Mrs. John b. Thayer, who
died Just about two weeks ago. 1t is felt
that it would be too much Of rush for
any one to go, and things arc SO unsettled
over there in England and Europe 1t Is
certainly not a good time for visiting. SO
the Wheeler relatives will be Represented
by the youngest aunt, Mrs. Wainman.
r HEAR that the Annual Charity Ball
i Association has announced that appli'
cations for beneficiaries for next years ball
will close on April Is. In other words, step
right up and apply now while the apply
inz's good Mrs. Naudain Duer Is cor
responding secretary Of the committee. you
know, and attends to all that part OF it.
There are always four beneficlaries for the
ball, and they usually get good deal from
It, too. Tho association has been giving
the ball for thirtynine years, and still
seems to be going strong.
HyHERE was another reception on Satur-
i day at the Historical Society for en-
listed men. I believe that the continuance
of these receptions is due to the generosity
of Miss Lydia T. Morris, who was hostess
again that night. Mrs. Charles Roberts
made the welcoming address and Mrs Hotz
sang. Mr. Hoxie was ION the job" as
usual to lead the sing. The week perore' l.
understand, there were lot OF marines
from Belleau Wood and Chateau Thierry
who are floating around town now. They
certainly seem to be having large tiihe'
don't they? One day you hear OF them
be,np entertained at a show, the next DAY
thew go to some other affair, and edt-my
word how those men can eat!
DID YOU remember that Mrs. l.. Weoster
- Fox will be at home this afternoon
from A until 6? Mrs. Fox has been receiv-
ing on Mondays all through last month
and this but no cards have been sent out
,Bestrice's engagement to Charles FRANCIS
Grifflth was announced recently, as you
probably remember, but so far no date mas
been set for the wedding. Beatrice Is very
clever as a sculptor and has done awfully
rood work in that attractive studio OF hers
DID YOU know that the women OF the
~ social service department of the Bryn
Mawr Hospital have decided TO give sub

t.ricket Club for the school set to beneht
Che social service? It's in Lent, to be sure,
hut it's the holiday time when most OF
the boys are home from the boarding
schools, and so it has been decided to have
, A. then, and the kiddies are looking for
ward to another big time such as they had
an the Christmas holidays. For this dance
