their blessing. But Miss Brom-
well had already told her init
mate friends. whose name is
legion since she has been one OF
the most prominent ard popular
girls In town since her debut two
or three years back: and for q
week everybody has been making
a great fuss over the happy pair
and trying to engage them for
some sort Of party.
Mrs. Borden Hartman had q
Sinner for them on Monday eve

other dipners, and an announce
ment luncheon" at Mrs. Brom-
wells on Friday. with most of
the British embassy people pres

: wells friends and Miss Brom-
wells particular chums. But for
the most part they have been re-
efusing invitations since Miss
rBromwell goes to the hospital to-
morrow for an operation for ap-
, pendicitis, and her physician has
ordered her to go slowly.

highly. He is persona grstissima

Lady Geddes, who are also very
fond Of Miss Bromwell.
Ever since she came out. more
over, she has been exceedingly
~chummy with a little group Of
British embassy bachelors who
contribute 30 much to society in
Washington. She was one of the
girls who danced with the Prince

occasion only one other American
girl was 30 honored.
THE wedding7 Well. no defi-
mite plans have been made 90
far, but I'm told that 1t will take
place in the early autumn. The
exact date will depend upon Cap
tain Bailey's orders. as he has
asked for q ship and expects soon
to be detailed to sea duty. He

the service and will be an admiral
inside of eight years.
Miss Cromwell has already
asked Miss Margaret Harding to
be her maid Of honor, I under

several of her most intimate
friends will be abroad at the time
