Snooty and highly bred Scottle

HAPT. AND MRS. WARREN
u TOWLE, who were so very
popular during tn eir station
here, just before they were or
dered to Maxwell Field, will
have a brief look in and how-de-
do on their Washington friends
the day before Thanksgiving. To
be accurate, Mrs. Towle will have
even a longer visit, for she is
arriving shortly to stay with the
Henri de Sibours, while Captain
Towle will fly up from Maxwell
and join her, for one afternoon,
before they proceed to Harris
burg, Pa, to spend Thanksgiving
Day.
VIRGINIA BRANT GRIFFITH,
' daughter of Gen. Gerald C.
,Brant, of Langley Field, and
widow of a Navy aviator, is carv-
ing out a nice career for herself,
to do with clothes in a famous
dress shop here. Virginia is eSpe-
cially smart regarding her own
costumes and is a stunning and
regally graceful brunette.
DARRINE DRAKE, daughter
ID of Gen. and Mrs. Charles
Drake, is another army girl who
has stepped out into the bust
ness world and has such a per-
suasive voice and such selling
ability that one invariably comes
out of the smart shop where
Barrine holds forth with a great
many more packages than one
intended bringing in the first
place.
DEITY SCHEN, pretty
Id blond daughter of Gen. and
Mrs. Frederick Bose en-, is
completely thrilled over a recent
gift from her adoring father.
The gift being a nice, shining
blue car of long and Swagger
proportions.
HEN. and Mrs. Hugh Matthews,
W of the Marine Corps-you
know the general is retiring

sort of farewell party for them
selves over at the Army-Navy
Country Club last Tuesday, with
around $50 guests for dinner
and dancing afterwards. At the
moment, General and Mrs. Mat
thews are planning a trip to
Florida and a stay there for
most of the winter. After that,
their plans are, so far, rather in
definite.

A GROUP of Army women are
"A holding a gift sale today
for the benefit of the Army Re.
lief, and of course they have the
usual white elephant table" of
odds and ends. However, this
white elephant table was very
different from the others before
it. Mrs. Amos Fries, wife of
General Fries, who is in charge
of the tables, noticed on this
white elephant table two eX-
ceptionally lovely glass vases.
These vases, some ten inches
high, were a beautiful smoked
gray glass and promptly Mrs.
Fries, knowing her antiques, sus-
pected these vases to be real,
old and rare Sandwich glass.
Hurriedly, she called a confer.
ence of Mrs. w. r. Smedberg,
wife of General Smedberg, and
herself president Of the Army
Relief, and Mrs. j. w. Joyce,
wife of General Joyce, and all
three decided that experts would
have to be called in to decide
on these vases.
So some time today they will
know whether or not these vases
are Sandwich glass. Mrs. Edgar
Jadwin, Mrs. Warren Hannum,
Mrs. william Carter, Mrs. Mar
Gus Stokes, Mrs. Hal Harrison
Smith, Mrs. Edward j. Dingley,
all Army women, and assistants
to Mrs. Fries, were not only ex-
cited over this find, but also
were a trifle upset because, if
CLle vases are .d1ClQue glass, naCu-
rally the person who sent them
will have to BE- notified, and if
she doesn't know their value and
then finds it out. naturally she
might wish the vases returned,
which they will be at once. So
the whole thing is both interest.
ing and complicated.
