Ralph and Raymond
/ Wednesday. June 16.
Iiggett Tuesday for California He
really has q terrible time with his
mail and Is always getting IL mixed
up with that of Richard Derby, who
married Ethel Roosevelt.
The party Monday night included
any number of interesting people
among them Bette warmsley and
Col. and Mrs. T. Q. Donaldson. which
reminds me that T. Q. jr.. is quite
| covering himself with the honors
abroad. > He is a lieutenant in our
army and stationed In Coblentz and
has Just won the tryout, champion
ship for both the singles and dou-
bles for the tennis tournament to be
held at the Olympic games in Lop-
don later in the season.
His wife, who is in Germany with
him, was formerly Miss Elizabeth
Rumbough. daughter Of the late Col.
David Rumbough and Mrs. Rum
bough of this city. Her brother. Capt.
David Rumbough. u s. A. who Is also
on duty in coblentz. will play on the
U. s. army polo team at the Olympic
games. All Of the Rumbough boys
play polo for that matter. There is
Col. Wright r. Rumbough, David
Rumbough and Stanleigh r. Rum
bough, who was in the army and
then resigned about the time he
married one Of the Colgate girls.
Then he was in again during the
war. Others who will help make up
the army polo team are Maj. Gen.
Henry T. Allen. Maj Joseph s. Tate
and Col. Nelson E. Margetts. At
least those are their names. but the
titles are probably all wrong be-
cause they change over night II
seems.
ARMY CHANGES CAUSE
CHAGRIN AND CONFUSION.
do feel so sorry for all of the
army people. Every one is watching
army oficers' shoulders for insignia
changes just like people all over the
country who suddenly found they
had an oficer in the family, and
that there was such a thing as rank.
were doing at the beginning of the
war. II seems for all the world
like the closing of the first camp,
only in this case IL is the closing
OF the school at the War College.
where colonels and generals are
again going to school. &C.,.
1t seems as IL the powers that be
had gone army mad and were turn
iEg everything inside out and upside
| down at the same time. For In
I stance the school is supposed to
! close about June 80; though no one
! is quite certain II will and none of
| the officers wives know what their
1 summer plans are to be because the
| orders just do not seem to be forth
coming. I was talking to several
| of them the other day and they said
| they did not know what was to be-
come of them; they were just wait
| ing and the general feeling seemed
to be that the reorganization might
make a lot of difference in all of
their former plans. They are really
the unhappiest lot, though like real
army people, they are trying to grin
| and bear il.
One of the colonels who is still a
| colonel, or was the first of the week,
! had a little dance at his home sew
eral days ago and everyone was run
ming around to see who was what.
| They had a lot of fun out of a vet
eran who had been reduced from a
|
where he was ten years ago. There
was the colonel who was still a
colonel but who expected to be re-
/ duced at any time. the colonel who
| had become a captain that very day
| and the man in civilians who resign
| ed in time to go out a colonel, all
in the same branch of service and all
| having seen service overseas.
Fact is, / do not know of any
cheerful news to tell you of the
army people. Murray Cobb is still
pretty sick in Switzerland. They
want to bring him back. but he is
not able to make the. trip. They
even had his country place Britten
farm on the Rockville road ready.
for him. You know he went over
early in the war, had the flu and
then pneumonia. His wife went
right over and is still with him
for he has been i'll ever since and
that was long before the armistice.
She was Caroline Hun before her
marriage and very popular here.
Her many friends are quite worried
because there seems to be no change
for the better.
MISS ELEANOR BLISS
BECOMES MRS. KNOPF.
There was a very interesting we'd
ding In the army circle last week; !;

Only the immediate members of the
family attended the wedding, which
was not followed by a reception, the
bride and bridegroom leaving i'm
mediately after the ceremony for a
wedding trip which will end at New

Owing to the fact that the we'd

Mr.. Knopf might take his bride

West this summer everything was
