D0ES It not seem to you that there
~ are great many more engagements
and weddings in the younger set these |
last couple of years than there used to |
be? Perhaps it is because I was not |
so Interested in those who became en-
gagged as have been in great many |
Of the recent ones; perhaps. also, be-
cause those who are getting engaged |
and married Of late are better known |
to me personally than the others were.
Re that as it may, It seems TO me the
fever is catching among our young
people and nearly every week or two,
and sometimes oftener, there's the an
nouncement Of new engagement or "a
new wedding date.
0F COURSE / was not greatly sur
" prised about Decide Hutchinson's
