marriage began to be talked
about, had seemed so established
in bachelorhood that even Lloyd'S
which inSureS anybody against
anything, would have considered
him a bad matrimonial risk.
Therefore, Mrs. Eleanor Davies
Cheeseborough, who is about to
convert Millard, the Blessedly
Single, into Millard, the Benedict,
is a person to consider with in
tereSt and admiration.
The future wife of the Senator
from Maryland is really beauti-
full woman. She is tall, has good
figure and the blonde hair which
Heaven gave her (She parts it
far on one side and wears it high
on her head in Empress Eugene
curlS). Her eyes are big and brown
and her black laShes are long. She
has good features and a quickly
changing expression. Her laugh is
gay and she laughs often and
Rgreeably.
Over tete-a,tete luncheon at
the F Street Club, the day their
engagement was announced, Sen
ator Tydings and Mrs. Cheese
borough were studying blueprints
for the furnishings of Darlington,
the Senator's home near Havre
de Grace
They dined with Mr.. and Mrs.
Demarest Lloyd that evening,
were extremely happy and smil-
ing, and gave the occasion, the
10Th wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Lloyd, a charming en-
phasiS. =
At the same small dinner were
the newly married Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence Wood Robert, jr., also
OF romantic interest to Washing
ton. Mrs. Robert, you remember,
was Mrs. Evelyn Walker, whose
brother married Mrs. Cheese
borough'S sister. The bride and
the bride-to-be, were both lovely
blondes in black velvet.
Darlington, where Senator Tyd-
ingS will take his new wife in the
spring: is a Maryland Manor built
over a hundred years ago by a
member of the well known Hart
ford county family, of Stump. A
big stone house it was restored
and later occupied by the late
Stanford White. Mr.. White had
many parties there at which
Evelyn NeSbit Thaw was the guest
of honor.
Other owners have planted
rhododendrons, guarded the orig
inal lockwood and laid out a
fascinating garden. The Susque-
hanna River runs past the foot
of Oakington's lawn.
About a year ago, when friend
Of Senator Tydings suggested that
he buy Darlington, Senator Tyd-
ingS answered,
why that's no place for a sin
gle man! I'll never need a house
like that!"
Buy it as an investment" sug-
gested the friend. But you'll find
you will keep it as home"
Senator Tydings says he's just
a countryman. So he's going to
have his first party at Darlington
at hog killing time.
There's a possibility, of course,
that the Senator may change the
date to duck hunting time. From
Oakington'S broad lawn are visible
the famous ducking grounds of
the Susquehanna flats which
cover an area of more than IS
square miles.
Mrs. William Rayburn (She'S
another handsome blonde person) q,
recently returned from Aiken,
South Carolina, and is having a
Christmas fling at an F Street
book shop. Selling books requires
the qualities of a guide, phil.
oSopher and friend, she says.
A harraSSed young man asked
Mrs. Rayburn yesterday:
Can you suggest present for
my girl"
Mrs. Rayburn sold him, Dahl.
glieff's Memoirs of the Ballet
Russo.
when a woman asked for
"MrS. AStor'S Horse" because my
friend likes to ride" Mrs. Ray
burn smiled Sympathetically and
didn't mention that Stanley
Walkers book is a chronicle of
extravagant New York Society.
Sir Wilmott Lewis, one of the
most popular Englishmen who
ever came to America, is likewise
a Lord Chesterfield in wit and a
William Jennings Bryan in elo-
quence and as quick on the
trigger as Buffalo Bill
One evening at about half past
seven o'clock. Mrs Frank B.
Noyes. who is Sir Wilmott's
mother-in-law, phoned him and
said:
I'm calling for you in ten min
Ytes time"
"A charming prospect" said Sir
Wilmott, "but why the furore?"
Have you forgotten that you
are to speak at my club at eight
O'Clock on The Influence OF
Shakespeare on American Liteura-
ture?"
Sir Wilmott had forgotten.
