a nasty fall, but mean cash on
his good-looking head.
MRS. HARRY L. BRINSER,
NA wife of Admiral Brinser,
gets practically all of her out
door exercise by trying to keep
up with her pet Scottie, Burns.
BurnS, who possesses enough
years to be exceedingly digni-
fied-iSn't, one bit, particularly
when the cold, snappy days de-
scend upon him and the wind
whistles intriguingly about his
pointed ears. Then, instead of
walking sedately beside his mis-
tress. he plunges and pulls so at
his leash that Mrs. Brinser, to
save her own balance, has to go
with him, instead Of he with her
and at pace that would do
credit to a marathon runner.

~ BERT HATFIELD, of the
Marine Corps, who have been
married only since last August
and are occupying an attractive
house in the nearby suburbs, are
still chuckling about the sud-
denness with which they &C.
quired this same house. AS it
happened, Mrs. Hatfield, who
was the former Mrs. Caroline
Douglas, had planned to be
married some time in late Sep
tember, but one evening she
and Colonel Hatfield went to
call on some friends who were
packing to leave Washington
for foreign duty. Both the colo
mel and the then Mrs. Douglas
admired the house, which was
not only delightfully."- furnished,
but nicely arranged.
The owners informed them
they were going to lease the
house exactly as was," and
suggested. smiling, that Colonel
and Mrs. Douglas should take
the house. Mrs. Douglas said
they would like to take the
house, but could not until Oc-
tober. The owners said that
would be too late.
And it might have been, but
before the evening was over,
both Colonel Hatfield and Mrs.
Douglas had fallen so in love
with the house that they
planned their wedding at an
earlier date and one which
enabled them to lease the house
when the owners left it.
