NN&
JOSEPHINE ANDREWS,
y daughter of Gen. and Mrs.
Frank Andrews Of Langley Field,
will be married next WedneS-
day in the chapel there and with
a large and gala reception later
at the Officers Club. Ever so
many people are going down
from Washington because, for
one thing, Mrs. Andrews, the
mother of Josephine, spent a
goodly portion Of her young
ladyhood here, being the daugh-
ter Of Gen. Henry T. Allen, who
was tremendously popular and,
you remember, was in command
of the Coblentz occupation just
after the World War.
Pretty Jeanie Andrews, sister
of Josephine, is all of a dither
because she is to be the maid of
honor and is coming down from
her school, Rosemary Hall, just
for this momentouS occasion.
Josephine'S huSband-to-be is a
most attractive lieutenant in the
Air Corps, whose last name Is
williams, and whose first name
escapes me at the moment. And
nicely enough, they will be
stationed at Langley Field.
7 IEUT. COL. AND MRS. LES
IL TER MILLER, who are now
stationed in San Antonio. Tex.
and are still remembered most
pleasantly in Washington, will
