In answer to the question as to

welt for Governor General in 1888, but
upon the death Of Senator Thomas J..

A certain young lady in town
thinks only two persons share
her secret!
I saw them, this girl and her
escort, at the theater a couple
of weeks ago and I wondered
then just to what stage the ro-
nance had progressed. Little
did I guess that it had gone so
far as to have the wedding day
set for November II.
She is the only daughter of
a couple very popular in Cap
ital society, particularly prom
inent in Democratic circles. An
active member of the Junior
League, she has participated in
all of their enterprises since
her debut several years ago.
She is tall, has chestnut-colored
hair and has a host of friends
in all parts of the world, hav-
ing travelled extensively. Her
middle name is the same as
her fathers given name.
The young man in the case is
the chief of an important divi-
sion of the Foreign Service.

Mrs. Mamie Jobe, walking
