Romance
There is perhaps nowhere in
the world a group with such
romantic and interesting his
tories as the, members OF this
group of lovely ladies whose
memories reach into the past
for many decades-back into
the past when women OF their
social position were gentle
women"
On a gala day at the Home
when the ladies are entertain
ing and are clad in some OF
their "heirlooms," one can
revel in the beauty Of rare old
laces and antique jewels far re-
moved from the costume jew
elry of the present.
Miss Williams took her off
cial leave of the Home on Sat
urday afternoon escorted by
her fiance, who, with her, mo-
tored to the latter's place In
Culpeper.
Popular
Representative Tucker has be-
come very popular with the ladies'
Of the Louise Home during his
courtship of his bride-to-be. And
he has been enjoying the enter
tanning there incident to the
departure Of Miss Williams.
At the garden party last week,
, when the Marine Band gave a
concert on the lawn, he assisted
Miss Williams in receiving the
guests, she standing on one side
lust within the entrance door
way and he standing opposite.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson presided
at the tea table on this occasion.
And it is probable that she will
attend the wedding of the Repre-
sentative from Virginia and Miss
Williams.
Grandchildren
Representative Tucker and his
eight grandchildren were enter
tained at tea at the Louise Home
rscently-he having taken them
to call on his fiancee.
This amused the"Louise Ladies"
tremendously. And they enjoyed
keenly teasing the bride-to-be
about her grandchildren" But
she enjoyed it too.

shaded grounds Of the brides
home. The ceremony will be per-
formed by the venerable Bishop
