will be on the reviewing stand with
the President. And doesn't IL seem a
pity. that neither General Doyen. who
was the first commandant Of the ma
rines overseas, nor yet General LAUGH
heimer, who succeeded him, should
have the pleasure of taking part in
this review? General Doyen, you
know, died last October, one OF the
early victims Of. the influenza cpl
demic, and Generals Lauchheimer Is
desperately i'll. having suffered a
stroke of paralysis about two weeks
ago.
One of those to. whom this return
must mean a whole lot, and be the
crown and reward Of two years Of as
faithful and devoted service on this
side as her husband was giving on
the other. is Mrs. Thomas HoIcomb,
formerly Beatrice Clover, wife Of Ma
jor Holcomb, U. s. NJ. c., or rather
believe, he's Colonel Holcofnb now,
and one Of the marine corps prize he
roes. He was one of the first to 60
over and one OF the last to come back.
and Mrs. H0icomb has waited patient
ly and eheerfully. devoting herself en-
tirely to her little son and sticking to
the Red Cross canteen service through
II all, even down to the present.

Summer Home.
Just recently she joined her mother
at Hot Springs for q little rest, and
last week they went to New York to-

and to await Miss EudoFa Glover who
mho had finally actually sailed, and
should arrive In a few days after het
brotheT-in-law. Their plans are more
or less in allegiance. awaiting the re-
turn Of their two overseas soldiers. II
seems probable. however that Mrs.
Glover and Miss Glover will 20 out to
their lovely summer home at Napa,
Cal, where Admiral Glover has been
for the last two months, and quite
possible that the Holcombs will join
them there, for a little while at any
rate.
Another well known washington
girl but recently returned from over.
seas Red Cross service is Elizabeth
Decide. who came hack a few weeks
ago, and before half her friends had
had q chance to see her she was on
again-to New York for an indefinite
stay. She is the eldest Of Mrs. Will
liam Riley Deeble's daughters, and
went ACROSS over a year ago. From
the rumors that have dritfed back, 1t
would not beye been surprising IL she
had announced an overseas wedding.
or at any rate an engagement. But she
she has done nothing Of the sort, and
so far as know doesn't mean to.

>However-if she harn't, there are
others that have. and in quarters
where no one was looking for trouble
at that.
Only last week I was asking vir-
ginia Sutherland IL there was any
thing decided yet as to her wedding
plans, and she sprung her brothers
engagement on me. Her own to
Lieut.. Col. Donald Marion McRae had
been announced only about the first
or June; and as II seemed only a day
or two before that Senator Sutherland
had gone to New York to welcome his
SON, Capt. Richard K. Sutherland,
back from overseas service-he must
have made good time since his return
to be announcing an engagement Or,
rather, OF course 1t is his fianeee's
mother, Mrs. William Whitsside, OF
Chattanooga, who announced the en-
to Capt. Richard X. Sutherland.
Naturally one suspects that IL was
an affair that. was all settled before
Captain Sutherland sailed away to
the war, and that the announcement
merely awaited his return. Which Is
equally true OF his sisters romance,
for her engagement was announced as
soon as Lieutenant Colonel McRae got
home from overseas with a wound
stripe and a military medal pinned on
by King George. and a splendid record
of service in the aviation corps OF
both Canada, and the A. E.. r. He is
the SON of Maj Gen. and Mrs. James
H. McRae, and Is at present stationed
at the Preside in California.
Apparently the last shall be. first,
fer Virginia had no definite idea as
to when her own wedding was to take
place, but mot for quite a while yet"
There had been an impression that
1t was set for August, and would
probably take place at the Sutherland
