Dan Cupid Plays
Havoc Among
Younger Set
BY JEAN ELIOT.

M n - ~ MT anu MIS- AASSSs
Warren announced this morn
ing the marriage Of their daugh.
ter, Dorothy, - George Reber
Littlehales, 1t called attention
anew to the epidemic of elope-
ments among the younger set.
For pretty Miss Warren and
Littlehales slipped away to Fair
fax, Va, to be married on July
IL, and 1t is only within the last
few days that the brides parents
were taken into their confidence.
With this wedding, too, it be-
came known that within the last
year or eighteen months, there
had been no less than five elope-
ments in a group of ten young
people, all Of whom were friends
and several OF whom were re-
lated. Miss Ethel Pilson, daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Raymond Pilson, jr.,
and Earl Warren, a brother Of
Miss Warren, started the ball
on their friends and were mar
go. And the last to join the
ranks of the young marrieds''
was Gwynn Rust, son Of Mr..
GSAASA ANA - AAs LIZ AbSSSe G2AtNA &&41E6
Frances Pearson, OF Philadelphia,
Vassar girl and frequent Wis
itor in Washington. Il was
learned almost simultaneously
with the announcement OF the
wedding OF Miss Warren and Mr..
LittlehaleS that Mr.. Rust and
Miss Pearson had been married
here on September and were
returning from their brief honey
moon today.
IN between times Dan Cupid
= had scored another distinct
hit in the case Of Raymond H.
Pilson, Jr., q brother Of Mrs.
Earl Warren, and Miss Emily
Earl, daughter OF Mrs. william
Eric Fowler, who were married
in May In Alexandria. The we'd
ding took place while Colonel and
Mrs. Fowler were on their way
home from South America, the
Colonel having been one of the
delegates of the United States to
the Pan-AmerIcan conference In
Chile. Then, week or two ago
Miss Elizabeth Wheeler, seven
teen.year-old daughter Of Mrs.
Kennedy Wheeler, and William
North Sturtevant. son Of Charles
r. Sturtevant, were married in
Rockville, the news leaking out
several days later and coming as
q complete surprise to both
families.
The marriage Of George Adams
Howard, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Beale r. Howard, and Miss Thel-
ma McEIhone, which took place
In Virginia in the early summer,
also comes to mind when the
years grist of opponents are
under discussion. And just the
other day it became known that
Miss Helen Parsons, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James L. Parsons,
had been married several months
ago to Raymond H. Phillips.
Miss Warren made her debut
| last winter and was one OF the
| most popular Of the seasons de-
butantes. She is exceedingly
gifted, with a pretty artistic
talent.
THE simultaneous presence OF
Senator George Wharton Pep
| ner and Senator David A. Reed
OF Pennsylvania In Washington
Yesterday was probably due to
their desire TO call AT the White
House with Secretary Mellon to
deliver an invitation to Presi-
dent Coolidge to attend the fifty
| fourth anniversary Of the found
ing OF the Heinz pickle factory at
Pittsburgh, which viii be cele-
brated on October IL. For Sena-
tor Pepper returned to Philadei-
| phia last night and Senator Reed
| is leaving for Pittsburgh today
with the promise Of returning to
Washington on Friday.
Both have been on vacation
with their families, Senator Reed
abroad and Senator Pepper in
Maine. He ana Mrs. Pepper had
a cottage for the season at one
| of the Maine resorts, but the
Senator spent several weeks in
the Maine woods, tranping, hunt
| ing and fishing with Senator
Frederick Hale Of Maine.
He returned from the wilds
| having lost twenty superfluous
pounds and having acquired a
| wholesome respect for the physi
cal prowess Of his colleague who
| is a considerably smaller man
than the Pennsylvania Senator
When the two first started off for
a long hike, Senator Pepper with
his familiar numbering stride and
the Senator from Maine with the
short rapid gait which is so well
known around the Senate cham
/ Der, the former thought to him
self, you won't be able to keeE
that up long, young man." II
| wasn't very long, however, be
fore Senator Hale was far ahead
and finally out of sight. He
was waiting for Mr.. Pepper a.
the first stop. When they started
out again Mr.. Hale, accompanied
by Eugene Newbold, Senator Pep
per's son-in-law, again took up hi'
fast pace. Mr.. Pepper lost sigh
of him, not to see him again unit
z o'clock that night, when he ar
rived in camp. There he found
the Senator from Maine, who hat
arrived at the destination abou
an hour ahead of the rest of thu
party.
Before starting off for Phila
delphia yesterday. Senator Peppej
was q luncheon guest Of Senator
Reed. who entertained informall.

For the short period that the,
