Miss Marshall Engaged
By JEAN ELIOT

AnnOuflCSAHCHh ny oCht
b. Henderson of the engagement
Of her granddaughter. Miss Beatrice
Van Rensselaer, Henderson. "a
Joseph wlolean, OF Springfield
Mass. has an element of surprise
for with Mrs. Henderson's well
known penchant for foreigners, 4
was generally expected that Miss
Henderson would wed diplomat
However, 1t Is automatic what
happens to the best laid plans Of
mice and men-and grandmothers
And e all events, Mr.. WholeaTl Is
connected with the foreign service
Of the Department Of Commerce
He Is sailing on August to as.
gur1e his new duties as commercial
counselor of the American embassy
at Rome: and, as it is not expected
that the wedding viii take place
before his departure, 1t is probahle
that the couple viii not be mar
rfed for another year.
Mrs. Henderson and her grand.
daughter are now at Spring Lake.
n. j., and Mr.. Wholean is with
them for the Fourth of July holt
day. He is a Harvard graduate
and before going into the CONNER
cfal service OF the United States
was with an automobile firm.
Miss Henderson is the daughter
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. John b
Henderson. jr., her mother having
been Miss Angelica SCHUYLER
Crosby, of New York Mr.. Hen
derson was well known as "a marine
scientist. Her grandfather was
Senator from Missouri and also
served as Speaker of the House.
An Engaging "Jeune File"
II is rather curious that, with all
her liking for the diplomatic con-
tingent. Mrs. Henderson, has never
taken her granddaughter abroad nor
allowed her to travel outside the
confines of her own country. Miss
Henderson, indeed, is very much
the .'jeune fiIle," a very refreshing
1ittls person in this day OF
sophisticated T1appers. She speaks
French beautifully, is both glrted
and cultivated, and has had good
deal of social experience, sharing
with her grandmother the duties OF
hostess Of Boundary Castle, the
big, hospitable Henderson mansion
on Sixteenth Street.
For the last several weeks Dame
Runor has been busying herself
with the possibility OF an engage
meut between Miss Henderson and
Mr.. whoiean and specializing, as to
whether or not Mrs. Henderson
could be won over to the prospect
OF losing her last chick.
Rumors of Engagement
Several other potential engage
ments are being discussed, by the
way, the Diplomatic Corps being in.
volved in at least two. The most
exciting rumors, perhaps, concern
the possibility Of an engagement be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. r. 8. Reynolds
Hits pretty daughter, Miss Eliza
beth Hit, ana Andor de Hertelendy,
the good looking young attache OF
the Hungarian legation. The TWO
have been together a good deal
and we shall see what We shall see.
The Hits are to spend the sum-
naer at Newport. but at present are
en- route to Saratoga for a visit.
Readers of Miss Nancy Heyt 8
howell, Roundabout" claim to rec
brnize Mr.. Hertelendy in the por=
trait Of the dashing young diplomat
who inspired the heroine to the
study Of Hungarian history and
tremendous interest in tennis. Color
Is given to the theory, moreover.
BY the fact that Mr.. Hertelendy Is
one OF the best tennis players in
the diplomatic corps.
Reverse English
The other enga cement whispered
about Is diplomatic with reverse in
lerest, the party of the first par
being Miss Yolanda Freyre. daugh
Ter OF the minister OF Bolivia. and
the party OF the second part. Frank
Kelly, Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney. One may see the
couple dancing together continuous
" wherever the younger diplomatic
group assemblies. Mr.. Kelly is To-
litically minded and ran againsI
Senator Lenroot unsuccessfully in
the Wisconsin primaries. He also
maintains q law office in the
Capital.
