The Washington times., 1920-08-22

OF interest mere, particularly since
the Hoyts are likewise Washington
folk. The Bankhead family seems 10
be pretty well scattered just now
Congressman and Mrs. Bankhead are
at their home In Alabama, their
apartment being let for the summer.
And Mrs. John ii. Bankhead Is spend
ing the summer with her grand
daughter. Mrs. David A. Holloway, at
Blowing Rock, N. c. Mrs. Bankhead's

Plans for Pauline Kindleberger's
marriage to Capt. Maxwell Kirby. air
service, u. S. A, which is set for Sep
| tember 21. are nearing completion. In
stead OF having a small home we'd
ding as she had first planned. Miss
Kindleberger has elected 10 be mar
ried in ST. Johns Church at 4:30 o'clock
| and the ceremony VIII be followed by
a reception at Rauscher's-a small re-
ception for the bridal party, relatives
and a few close friends.
Mrs. Patrick j. Hurley. OF Tulsa,
Okla. formerly Miss Ruth Wilson.
| will be Miss Kindleberger's matron OF
honor and only attendant. She and
her husband are coming on especially
for the wedding and will be at the
| Shoreham. for several days.
Captain Kirby will have Capt.
Michael F. Davis as his best man and
the ushers will be Capt. John c. Ken
nedy. Capt. Henry Abbey. jr., Capt.
Burdette S. Wright and Capt. clayton
Bissel They are all OF the air SER
vice and, had the wedding taken place
bit sooner, most Of them would have
been listed as major" just as Cap
tain Kirby was Major Kirby when
his engagement was announced. Yes,
of course, their rank was only tenn
porary and they have since been re-
duced. but Captain Kirby will be an
honest-to-goodness permanent major
before many weeks are past.
He is chief of operations of the air
service and will be on duty in Wash
ington-for the present at any rate.
And he has taken an adorable apart
ment at the Castleton, in Sixteenth
street, where he and his bride will
make their home. They have some
lovely things and altogether will
have a delightful little nest in which
| to begin housekeeping.
The King-Stokes engagement was
perhaps the most interesting OF the
grist announced during the last week,
for the Stokes family is known al!
over the country. 1t comes home to
| US here because the man in the case
Harold Phelps Stokes, son of the
late Anson Phelps Stokes-is now
serving as Washington correspondent
for the New York Evening Post.
Moreover, Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes
and Miss Helen Stokes, his mother and
sister. have Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Pin
chot's Rhode Island avenue residence,
Mr.. Stokes living there with them.
His fancee is Miss Elizabeth Miner
King, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. oliver
Walcott King, of Hillside, L. |. The
wedding will take place in"New York
on September II and, presumably, the
young people will live here.
1 started last week to say something
about the approaching marriage of
Miss Geraldine Miller Graham to
Whitney Warren. jr- and was cut off
in the middle leaving the young lady
hung up in the air with no mention
of the name of her fiance. A shock
ing oversight, particularly when he
bears such a distinguished name as
Whitney Warren.
l don't think young Warren is
known in Washington, but his fiancee
has frequently come a-visiting here.
In particular. she was here at the
time of the Prince of Wales visit. In
deed, Mrs. William Miller Graham
took Mrs. George Howard's house in
Sixteenth street-at a fabulous rent,
I'm told-just for the week; and this,
of course, gave rise to the rumor that
she was to give party for his royal
highness. She failed of that, if such
was ever her intention or her hope,
but Miss Miller Graham-that's the
form the family prefers-who is by
way of being a little beauty, was
present at most of the festivities
given in honor of his royal highness
and can tell her grandchildren about
the times she danced with the Prince
of Wales"
The Miller Grahams are Califor-
mans, and it was from their home at
Santa Barbara, where Mr.. Warren is
now visiting them, that announce
ment of the engagement was made.
They are however, as much at home
In Newport and New York as on the
Pacific Coast and they have scores of
friends here.
The engagement of Miss Argenta
Beard Perkins to Louis Antonio Pene-
herrera, attache of the legation of
Ecuador, also recently announced,
has a double interest here, for
Mr.. Peneherrera has made many
friends since coming to Washington,
and Miss Perkins has spent several
winters here. She is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Il. Perkins, of
New York and Genoa, Italy, who had
