w Els. No. Well, perhaps, some
day. Thus may be summed
N up the answers to the rumors
of three engagements which have
been going the rounds of late.
Secretary Mellon Of the Treasury
made announcement today of Miss
Ailsa Melons engagement to David
x. Este Bruce. son of Senator and
Mrs. William Cabell Bruce Of Mary
land, supplying the yes" to the
question which has proved the most
exciting of all.
From Miss Nancy Hoyt comes the
no." denying the rumor of her
engagement to Henry Carter Of the
State Department. And the some
day, perhaps" is the answer Of
friends Of Mrs. Noyes Blagden.
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Brett Noyes, when they are asked
IL she is to marry Willm8t Lewis,
the distinguished and attractive
washington correspondent of the
London Times. Discussion of the
engagement or Mr.. Lewis and Mrs.
Biagden is, however, a bit prema-
ture, as, although Mr.. Lewis has
been separated from his wife for
years and years. there has not yet
been q divorce. 1t is expected. how
ever, that a decree will be handed
down in June and after that we
shall see. "Bill'' Lewis, an English
man, is good looking, gifted and
very popular here. He has taken
leading roles in amateur tl1eatricals
on many occasions. Mrs. Blagden,
who was Miss Ethel Noyes, secured
q divorce from Thomas Blagden in
Paris several years ago.
L4aurels VS.. Orange Blossoms
Miss Hoyt, the daughter of Mrs.
Henry NJ. Hoyt. will sail with her
mother in June for a tour OF the
Continent and dame rumor would
have it that her marriage to Mr..
Carter viii take place in August in
Europe-after his assignment to a
foreign post. Miss Hoyt says,
Nothing doing" and implies that
she's too busy gathering laurels
from her first novel. Roundabout"
which is enjoying considerable sue
cess. to have time to gather orange
blossoms. However. there are such
things as diplomatic denials and
again-we shall see what We shall
see.
Credit Foreign Service
With the engagement of Miss
Mellon and Miss Hoyt to Foreign
Service men under discussion, it's
rather interesting to look back upon
the success our Foreign Service has
had of late in carrying off Wash
ington's prettiest and most promi-
nent maids. The marriage Of Mr..
and Mrs. John p. Story's pretty
daughter, Miss Caroline Story, to
Edward Lyndal Reed, of the dipio-
matte service, is fresh in our minds.
And looking backward one remem-
bers that It was Allan Winslow.
now secretary OF our legation in
Berne, who married Miss Rosamond
Castle, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
william r. Castle. jr.. and that Miss
Beatrice Beck, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James M. Beck, is married to
s. Pinckney Tuck, now serving as
consul in Geneva.
Another brilliant young chap now
on foreign service although not in
the Foreign Service is s. Parker
Gilbert, jr., agent general of the
Dawes plan, who wooed and won
Miss Louise Ross Todd, a niece of
Nine. Hauge, the courtship taking
place in Washington under the
noses Of the gossips who were
doing their best to put over an
engagement between Miss Mellon
and Mr.. Gilbert, then her fathers
right hand man.

PARIS. January 18.-French suf

This Is no war Of the sexes" said
Nine Leon Brunschvicg, president of
the French Union of the international

ITO heckle, aggravate and irritate
