there virtually since the very first day
of the war. in the aviation service, think.
And Mrs Montgomery has been with him
most Of the time. Before they came back
to villanova they took a trip West, went
out to see Mrs. Montgomery's sister, Sarah
Brock, who Is living in the West now;
and then they took in the Grand Canyon
and came back by way Of the South. They
are at present the guest of the Robert Lean
ing Montgomerys until their own house
is ready. William Montgomery is brother
of Bob and also Of Mary Montgomery, who
married Ned Halsey last summer. Mrs.
Montgomery, who was Fanny Brock, is
also a sister Of Mrs. Joe Ou Barry.
By. the way hear Joe Du Barry has
months leave and he and Ella are at the
Wellington, where Mrs. Arthur Brock
Elias mother, has apartments also. 1t
lust seems too impossible to think Of Joe
with an injured foot and unable to dance
for the time being. But it only is for the
time being. I'm told. He'll be entirely
cured eventually.
The William Montgomerys' house is at
villanova and will be ready for them in
week or so.
OUCH fun Gs the school set had at the
~ Bellevue ON Friday night! You see'
the wurts class was goind on in the North
Garden and the Penn Charter dance was
proceeding in the Rose Gardens, ana SO
the members and guests, being OF the same
bunch, would dance to one band IN the
Rose Gardens and then trot in to another
in the North Garden, and vice ve:sa, and
have a regular time. Next week therell
DO the same thing. when Mrs. Duer's class
and the Episcopal Academy ! lay and dance
take place the same night. / tell you you
feel grown UP when you can go to TWO
parties in q night, one week after another'
T HAVE been thinking Of the numerous
good works--and people who benehted
by them-tF III be the losers through
the sudden death Of Mrs. Clinton Rogers
woodruff on Friday. She was one OF the
most active women In charity work in the
city and wos more than popular. met
her first at the Charlotte Cushman CLUB
some six yeafs ago. She was treasurer OF
that club for years. and was treasurer Oh
the Independence Square Auxiliary Of the
American Red Cross at sos Chestnut street
since it started two years ago. She was
also most active member of the Armenian
Relief Committee Of the Emergency Aid,
and, through Mr.. Woodruff. was greatly
-- interested in the Lithuanians OF this city.
I can't begi to tell you Of all the things
f, in which she took an active part and she
was always SO bright and jolly and en-
couraging about every undertaking.
Her daughter is very much like her and
is one of the prettest of the younger ma
irons She was named Anna Florence
after her mother, and she married Walter
waring Hopkinson about four years ago.
Mrs woodruff, as we'll as her husband and
daughter was a devout attendant of St.
Clements Church, at Twentieth and Cherry
streets 1t was there that Florence Hop
kinson was married with choral service.
Mrs. Woodruff had been i'll only a short
time, and was not considered seriously SO
until late Friday afternoon. The fact that
Mrs. Hopkinson gave small theatre party
that afternoon makes one l.alize now un-
expected was her mothers death. They
we're a. most devoted family and my heart
aches for the bereaved husband and daugh-
Ter for am not mistaken in saying that
she was everything to them both.
AND now we hear that Jack Groome is
"A engaged. And to an Augusta girl. /
tai YOU, it's wonderful what staying DOWN
in Augusta last year did to the mempers
Of the Troop as far as Dan Cupid Is con-
earned. Ben Rush came home engaged
TO a girl from down there, and now mere
rac,, Groome engaged to Gladys league
r.c,, came back from France just about
= ,-hr,stmas, for he was at the Charity Ball
ON December 26, having returned just
few DAYS before, and every one was SC
saxcited to see him. He was mess sergeant
far the Troop in Augusta and first ser
ssant when the Troop was transformed
into a trench mortar battery ana then
went back to the cavalry and was made
second lieutenant. Later, when ne was
abroad, he was transferred to the military
police. Now he has been mustered ou'
from the army since his return to this
: country and expects to go into business
here. The marriage will take place II
Augusta in the spring.
several persons who were down in Au
susta tell mo that they met Gladys there
and that she is a very attractive girl. o.
course you know that Jack Is the son o.
Colonel and Mrs. Groome and brother o.
Agnes Groome Dixon and Martha Groom'
Thompson, the latter Of whom lives II
New York He's twenty-five years .oid
II Seems to me that great many OF th'
Younger men are marrying these days ant
marrying young. Jack is a nephew OF th'
Harry Disstons. Mrs. Disston was MIS-
Taith Roberts, a sister Of Mrs. Groome
who was Miss Agnes Roberts.
