dance. but you don't want to fuss up and

example and marry an American, but from
the news received last week one at least

Mrs. H. NJ. Grayson. Of London. The news
came here b. means Of cards which were
sent out by the Graysons announcing that
the marriage had taken place on January
20 In st. Margaret's Church, Westminster.
Margaret.a Drexel, you remember, married
the Viscount Maidstone and is living in
London. Tony seems to be the only one in
his immediate family who loves America
and an American. He married Marjorie
Gould and he has been in the United States
army. Armstrong Drexel, the other
brother, is still unmarried. He is some
aviator. from all one hears. And whether
for the United States or England. all three
men have fought for the Allies They are

"UTENANT LAWRENCE LEWIS, Jr.,
~ Is expected to return from France to
New York; II he is not already in New York;
very soon. All that Lewis family contin-
gent went on to meet him. He has a small
son whom he has never seen, you know,
because that young gentleman only came
to town In July and his father went over
in May. Babies are not always awfuly
interesting to any one but their mothers
when they are only few weeks old, so II
must be great to make their acquaintance
when they are as far advanced as seven
months. for they are so cunning then.
They notice everything, and pull your hair,
IL you get near enough, and try to eat
everything In sight. They just are too
sweet. aren't they? Lieutenant Lewis and
his family will go at once to White Sui
phur and later In the season to Palm
Beach. where they have leased the Flagler
mansion for the season and where they will
give large housewarming in honor Of
Lieutenant Lewis's return. Mrs. Lewis
was Miss Louise Wise. you remember.
