TNHE wedding dates are coming on, are
= they not? And the first Easter week
wedding we hear Of is Reggy Hutchinson's
He is to marry Vera McNair. OF New York,
you know. and the wedding will. of course,
take place In that city. 1t will be on
Easter Monday and In st. Thomas's Church
which seems to be the fashionable Epis-
copal church in New York. Vera Is the
Slaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William McNair,
of 6 East Seventy.ninth street. New York.
She came out three or four years ago and
is. of course. a member of the Junior League
and all the other 'spiffy" associations the
younger set belong to. Those who have
met her tell me she is very good.looking
and has n great deal of personal charm.
Reggy is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Danny
Hutchinson and a brother of Danny Hutch.
inson, Sd. Both sons have been In the
service and have fine records. l am sure
the wedding will be a very pretty affair. st.
Thomas's Church seems to have been made
a wonderful background for weddings,
don't you think?
TN REALLY very much Interested in the
L coming Ball Triumphant" aren't you?
You see, It's not only going to be a party
"whereat" you dance yourself, but there
are to be specially exhibition dances and
vaudeville stunts now and again through
the evening in the ballroom. II you don't
want to see the stunts you can dance In
the Red Room or the Glover Room or
wherever there are other orchestras sta.
toned, and they tell me you'll almost fall
over the orchestras, there are to be so

occasion. / wonder how the drive for the
Temple Of Victory is going on? I have not
heard recently, but I have no doubt that
II is successful. with all those energetic
Emergency Aiders back OF 1t.
The overseas committee of the E. A. is
back of the ball, so we'll be sure to see
some wonderful clothes. for Mrs. Billie
Clothier always dresses beautifully. Mrs.
John Norris is another regular fashion
plate. Mrs. Altemus and Mrs. Campbell
Madeira, too, you know. always wear stun.
ming gowns, and so does Mrs. William
Warden, and they are all on the committee.
The tickets are to be inexpensive, SO that
nearly every one who cares to go will be
able to purchase one, and I, for one, en-
pect a very good time.
r HEAR that Dorothy Painter. Katherine
L Putnam, Esther Campbell and Katherine
Roberts are all going down to Annapolis
today. chaperoned by Mrs. William Camp
bell, Jr. They are to spend the weekend
and attend the washington's Birthday hop
and festivities. 1t is needless to say there
10 much excitement In the heads Of these
young people In consequence of so much
fun in the offing. for 1t certainly Is great to
go down there; you have the most wonder
full time.
hid you hear that Fritz Drayton had
II been transferred from the Polytechnic
Hospital in New York to the Colonial Hos.
pital near Railway. In New Jersey? You
know 1 told you he had come back from
France several weeks ago and was In a
New York hospital. His leg must have
been pretty badly injured. for 1t Is taking
quite a little time to cure; but 1t Is on the
mend and a permanent cure Is promised.
And after all, one does not mind waiting
a long time IL the cure Is to be a real one
in the end.
CoPHIE NORRIS will be a busy person
~ next IueSuay, won I SHe! ~ boh's
to talk at the Independence Square Red
Cross that afternoon about her canteen
work in France. And that evening she Is
going to take a leading part in the Plays
and Players club night. It's to be French
play night, you know, but the plays VIII be
spoken In English. Sophie will play In

rs the bridegroom.
The first playlet will be Indian Sum-

interesting stories and experiences told by
those who have been right on the spot
over there; and then the Plays and Players
is always delightful.
DY THE way, I hear that Frances Clark,
~ Rachel Baker. Betty Elliot and Agnes
Irwin have all arrived on the other side
safely; that Frances Clark and Rachel are
to remain In England for a while. but Betty
and Agnes Irwin have gone on to France.
It's a splendid thing. It seems to me. for
them to go over now. when the glory Of
working In wartime is over. but the men
need the women from home more than ever.
A Mrs. Rinehart said the other day at
