Mellon Due Here With
Husband Late in March

Mr.. and Mrs. David Kirkpatrick
Este Bruce really are coming home
This has been rumored repeatedly
the story usually coupled with the
statement that Mr.. BRUCE had re.
signed or was about to resign from
the diplomatic service. His father
Senator William Cabell Bruce Of
Maryland, has spiked this report
however, while stating that his scI
Is to have two months leave Of
absence and will reach here about
the end Of March, bringing with
him his bride, the former Miss
Ailsa Mellon. Presumably the couplt
will stay with Secretary Mellon Of
the Treasury.
Since his marriage Mr.. Bruce has
been serving as American vice con
sui in Rome. He has found his
work interesting and likes his post
but the climate Of Rome does moi
agree with Mrs. Bruce, she haf
been Ill a good deal and they have
consequently spent considerable
time away from their post.
