r IEUT. AND MRS. FRANK
IL MONROE, who were here
and then in Richmond, Va, and
then ordered to duty on the
West Coast, have so many
washington friends that this
story might be interesting and
amusing. It seems that when
Mrs. Monroe (Helene) was
going to the coast, Coronado, to
be exact, her intimate friend,
Helen Bass, also in the Navy,
told her to look up a certain
woman who lived in Coronado.
When Helene Monroe reached
Coronado she discovered that
this certain woman'S name had
completely left her mind. Mean
while she had to busy herself
with house hunting.
Finally she found q house
which she practically fell in
love with. Later she wrote
Helen Bass all about the house,
how attractive it was and how
perfectly charming the woman
was who rented it to her. Per
haps you have guessed it, but
the woman who owned the
house that Helen Monroe rented
was the same certain woman
whose name she had forgotten
and who was the friend Of Mrs.
Bass. At the moment Mrs.
Monroe is living in solitary
splendor in this very house, for
no sooner had she moved, got
everything in tip top shape
than her husband, Lieutenant
Monroe, was ordered to shang-
hal.
GENERAL and Mrs. James E.
" Fechet, who spent the early
part of the winter in Washing
ton, are now in Florida, at st.
Augustine and thoroughly en-
joying themselves. When they

know. for the General, who Is an
excellent shot and likes hunting,
is Just now doing that very
thing, with quail, etc. on his
preferred list.
CAPTAIN and Mrs. Thomas
~ Moran, U. s. N, who are a
very popular couple, may soon
be deserting Washington. May
be, Mrs. Moran will stay on a
bit, but Captain Moran has been
ordered to the West Coast, and
eventually to take command OF
the destroyer Marblehead. AS
the Marblehead is now in China,
Captain Moran will sail from
San Francisco, go to China and
bring his ship back with him.
COLONEL AND MRS. r. M.
" JONES who have been sta
toned in San Antonio, Texas,

a tour of duty. Both Colonel

and have three of the most en-
gaging boys to make up their
family.
MRS. BEN MORRELL, wife
WA of Admiral Morrell, is re-
cuperating nicely at Walter
Reed, after a siege Of illness. All

to the hosts Of friends possessed
by this sweet and lovely person.
COMMANDER AND MRS.
~ SAMUEL L. HURT have
only been here about two
months. They were formerly sta

cidedly popular addition to the
younger married circles of the
Navy. Mrs. Hurt is most attrac-
tive, a brunette and quite viva
cious and comes originally from
Blackstone, Virginia. Also she
gave a very successful and inter
esting breakfast party the other
day at the Army-Navy Club,
where so we hear, the guests
had such a good time that the
breakfast nearly went into
luncheon before their departure.
