MRS. KUTZ GIVES TEA
FOR MRS. I. B. LARKHN
ONE Of the nice parties of the

week-informal. but very Jolly
was a tea Mrs. Charles w. Kutz,
wife Of Colonel Kutz, of the En-
gineer Corps, u. S. A, gave Tues
day afternoon at her house on
Twenty-seventh street, up near
Wardman Park Hotel. 1t was
given for Mrs. Thomas b. Larkin,
wife Of Major Larkin, also of the
Engineers, who has been detailed
as assistant military attache at
Tokyo; and for Mime. Saburi, wife
of the secretary of the Japanese
embassy.
Mary Irwin-or rather Mrs. Lar
kin-certainly has played i'm luck,
so far as details go. Major Lar
kin has been stationed right here
in Washington ever since their
marriage-except for the period of
his service in France, where wives
were not permitted to go, and
from which he returned to find a
bonny wee boy awaiting him. And
now-first time she has had to so
away from home at all-it's Tokyo!
And, of course. she's excited and
pleased about It, and preparing
very happily for the move. She
and her husband and their small
son will leave Washington along
toward the end of September and
are to take the transport leaving
San Francisco, October 8. They
will stop at Honolulu, and Guam,
and Manila-and all sorts of inter-
esting places. Doesn't il make your
mouth water, and make you feel
like hunting up a nice officer boy,
and marrying him forthwith? Only
you can't be sure of his being sent
to Tokyo, you know!
A ND, by the way, you'd better make
"A it an engineer officer-for hear
that they're sending another from
that service a military attache to
China-no less a person than Col.
Sherwood A. Cheney, who is to
marry Miss Louise Delano on Sep
TENDER 10. Not here, worse luck,
but at Stockbridge, Mass, where the
Delanos have had the Nunnery, a
rented cottage, this summer. OF
course it's a bit incongruous being
married in a Nunnery. but the world
Is rather topsy-turvy nowadays,
and Louise will not let a trifle like
that disturb her. 1t doesn't seem
fair that Washington should be
cheated Of that wedding, for the Del
amos have been living here for near
ly ten years-so long that even

be married in Massachusetts, and
wedding trip, for I believe they will
sail on the same transport with tho
Larkins-October 8.
At first blush It seemed as II they
might have sent Colonel Cheney to
some European embassy, where his
wtfe's accomplishments as a liuguist
would have stood her in good stead.
But after all fancy the people with
whom she will have to do at Peking
will speak anything else better than
Chinese. And there is a certain
poetic or romantic Justice In her
going to China, for the Delanos for
several generations were In the
China trade. Her father, though he
came to Washington as head of the
Federal Reserve Board, and was
known before that as a Chicago rail.

their furniture; and remember
years ago in Chicago the time they

done; and finally the carpets had to
be woven and dyed for the occasion.
