Miss West attended the Cathe.
dral School and later the King
Smith Studio. She was presented
to society few seasons ago and
since then has been one Of the
most popular members of the
younger set, not only with the resi-
dental cave dWellerS" but at
nearly all of the Diplomatic parties
this young lady is to be found the
center of circle of attentive
young career men.
For the past two years she has
devoted much of her time to the
study of art and now has quite
a collection of paintings and
sketches worthy of an exhibition.
Her study in this field is evident
in her choice of colorS and their
combination in her own wardrobe.
George Washington Graduate
Mr.. English was graduated from
George washington University
with the class of 1882 and received
his law degree from the National

He has the distinction OF being
the youngest member of the Wash
ington Stock Exchange.
This marriage, which will take
place some time during April, Will
very nearly make one big family
of the Capital younger set. The
prospective bridegroom is a
brother of the English twins who
made their debut two years ago
-Peggie, who is now the wife OF
Ensign Richard Longstreet Poor.
and out on the West Coast, and
Mildred, who is now Mrs. Wlnton
Elliott, sister-in-law Of popular
Lucille Elliott.
On Miss Vests side, it was
only a very short time ago that
the wedding of her brother, Mil
lard Farrar West, jr.. and little
Emily Stuart Maddox took place
in st. John S Church-there be-
ing another tie. A few more
such matches and just about all
of the Junior Leaguers and
young men will be sisters-in-laW
and brothers-in-law and in almost
as complicated a family tangle as
the royal houses of Europe are
now finding themselves.

guest of her brother and sis

Caldwell, at their attractive
home in Cleveland Avenue.
Morning, noon and night
she was taken about the town,
to all the interesting places,
and now she is going home to
rest. At the Shoreham one
evening last week we glimpsed
her going from the Garbo
room to the main dining room
with her hosts. She wore a
gown of quilted white satin
with a cluster of red flowers
at the front Of the high neck
line and a sheer cape of net
about her shoulders. Mrs.
Caldwell's gown was espe-
cially becoming to her pre-
maturely white hair. 1t was
of bottle green crepe, made
en- grecian lines with trimming
of gold paillettes outlining the
decolletage.

expecting an ever so slight
pause before the gentleman
from the Hill would have a

50 many things that people did that
she didn't have the easy grace to do.
Darling" was used more frequently
than a name. Laps were more con-
venient than chairs to sit on. Words.
names, gestures that used to be the
exclusive privilege of lovers. were so
commonplace these days.
Get yourself a lace cap with
lavender ribbons. 1t would fit you
exactly" Joan told herself in disgust.
Joan didn't mind having a few in
hibitions but she did hate not to be
able to conform.
The train Of her thought turned
back to Julian and Sheila and she
was suddenly struck with wondering
how Julian would take the news that
Sheila was seriously interested in
someone else.
An imp darted into her mind to
remind her that heart caught on a
rebound wasn't as bad as it sounded.
Hadn't Julian almost captured hers
on the rebound when Win had
walked out Of her life? OF course,
he hadn't wanted her and she would
never love him or anyone-as she
had Win. but she did admit honestly
that she was dangerously close to
caring deeply for Julian.
Joan had a lot of lessons to learn
and she was we'll aware of it Level
headed and balanced where anything
else was concerned, she had made a
fairly complete job Of selecting lot
Of the wrong men. First Win and
then Donald. When ihere were good
men like Alex Clarity! Well. a girl
couldn't very well judge all men by
as few as she knew!
So when Walter Talbot called her
on the telephone and asked her if
she'd like to go to a night club. she
thought she'd give this young man
whom she had met at one Of Betty's
parties a chance. Perhaps what she
needed was to get out and see little
more of the world.
A night club wasn't a very good
place to see much Of it. Dancing on
a floor the size Of a pocket handker-
chief, breathing thick smoke, watch

education. But Joan cultivated Wal
ter and his friends. She saw all the
night clubs. She danced until she
ached and her eyes burned from
smoke.
When February was over. she was
fed up with it. She had decided that
she preferred reading in Julian's
library in her own quiet company, or
Julian's-which was rare-to all the
assumed gaiety that running around
with her new friends had passed for.
Joan was strengthening out. She
was no longer perplexed with her
own emotional problems. She had
her moments Of thinking Of Win,
enjoying Julian. seeing Alex. and
that was enough.
To Donalds repeated invitations,
she simply said that she was tired
OR busy. She did not tell him what
she thought of him or that she knew
he was married. It would have
taken too much effort and the
situation wasn't worth it.
Donald was persistent and Joan
learned the sad truth that the way
to arouse a mans interest was to he

JOAN RE-READ the line over and
. over again in Twitter's gossip column.
: OF course, Sheila didn't admit that
. she was going to marry Pierre
Durand but. at least she docs not
deny" it.
Joan knew enough about Sheila to
know that if Sheila didn't want her
name linked to Pierre's in a rumOr
as personal as that, she would jolly
well do something about stopping it.
And if Sheila were actually going
to marry him. Joan's first reaction
was that it was an excellent idea. 1t
would remove her from Julian's life
to some extent. At least it would
remove the ever-present danger (as
Joan thought) that she might decide
to marry him. Joan was perfectly
sure in her own mind that the reason
she was glad to see that bit of news
was because of Julian entirely. That
1t might make any difference to her
was an idea she refused to entertain.
Betty had said that it was to an
actress advantage to remain single.
She had also said that Sheila was

surely want to be married. Joan
could understand that but privately
she dubbed Sheila a fool for pre-
ferring Pierre Durand to Julian.
But prefer him she obviously did
Joan had plenty Of reason to remem-
Der Sheila's behavior at The Willows.
She remembered the way that Sheila
had kept the young Trenchman at
her side the night of the New Years
Eve party. And Pierre had always
accompanied Sheila to Julian's par
ties.
AS for Julian and Sheila together,
Joan tried to remember them but
her impressions were hazy and she
had retained the first one-that some
bond OF intimacy bound them to-
gether. Joan couldn't imagine her
self hinging her arms around a mans
neck, caressing his hair with her
cheek, unless she were in love with
that man.
Joan paused in her thinking and
shrugged her shoulders. There were

Now, if ever, Joan would know how
Julian felt about Sheila. She faced
the night Of the opening with antici-
patton and disturbance.
Sheila's play was opening in New
Haven. Joan and Julian drove up
from New York on a freezing early
March day. It was three-hour run.
They had planned to arrive in time
to dine with Sheila but Sheila was
rehearsing and demanded Julian's
presence.
I'm afraid you'll have to dine
alone. Joan. but I'll pick you up at
eight"
Joan was furious. She was half
tempted as she ate her unappetizing
dinner to allow one Of the Yale stu
dents to pick her up before Julian
returned. She was in a frame Of
mind not to enjoy q moment of the
play-or Sheila.
But in the darkened theater she
Succumbed. Sheila was superb!
The play was mediocre-Julian said
it would never survive-but Sheila
was like wine and fire and sparkling
water. She was an artist and Joan
was quick to see it. o. This was a
Sheila she had never seen and Joan
fOrgave her many things. Small
wonder that her art should be her
all. Joan was entranced. She forgot
to observe Julans reactions until
the play was over and she was still
lost in Sheila's characterization.
Sheila was still taking her curtain
calls when Julian half pulled her
from her seat. Come along. Joan.
we're going backstage."
Joan was accustomed to backStage
scenes by that time. She had spent
many hours in the theater with
Julian during the rehearsals of his
play but she had never seen any
thing like that mad stage in New
Haven.
Sheila was in tears. She threw
herself on Julian's breast. "Oh. dar-
ling, isn't it horrible!" Julian patted
her hair as though she were child.
''You were marvellous. Sheila-
Joan sat on the edge Of her seat IN
complete fascination. Sheila became
aware Of Joan.

feet" Joan said simply and sim
cerely.
Sheila knew acting and she knew
sincerity. She held out her hand to
Joan.
"You don't know what that means
to me-" she said. "I've been beastly
to you. Joan. Will you please forget
it? Can we be friends?"
Joan took her hand. She knew
that Sheila meant it.
That was one thing.
The other was that Donald New
berry asked her to marry him.
