NAPT. AND MRS. CHARLES
~ H. REED left yesterday for
duty at Fort Leavenwo tn.
Jackie" and "Hankie" Reed, to
call them by their respective
nicknames, were a very popular
couple and the entire time they
were stationed at Fort Myer
were in constant demand for
parties, both large and small.
HOMDR. FRANK O'BRIEN is
~ leaving within the month
(May) to sail for China and
duty aboard the Marblehead.
Commando, O'Brien's leaving is
definitely sorry news to Wash
ington for he is a delightful per-
son and an excellent host. The
attractive house which he has
been occupying and which was
furnished to the nth degree
of comfort and good taste, is
now closed and the commander
is trying to tell all his friends
good-by, by phone if nothing
else. II he insists upon getting
hold Of all of them, he will be
here until next ChriStmaS-we
hope.
MRS. WILLIAM D. CROSBY,
W1 widow of Colonel Crosby, is
arriving in town from her
home in st. Louis to visit with
Mrs. T. Perry Lippitt. The eros
bys, who were stationed here
many times and for many years,
were loved by everyone and Mrs.
Crosby has worlds Of friends
here.
TOL. j. A. ULIO (and when he
" was on duty here he was
known as the, most attractive
and eligible Army bachelor),
Major j. N. Dalton and Major
Olsen (first name escapes us)
are coming to Washington for
this week end from Governors
Island. However, they are not
coming down for pleasure, it's
business-but what business. no
body knows but them and they
won't tell.
HOI,. AND MRS. E. S. ADAMS

NOMDR. AND MRS. ROBERT
" DYER have been pining
away because having learned to
speak the Italian language fl
emily, they could find no one to
speak it with. So, the other
afternoon when Mary Bailey
and her daughter, Alice Law
renee, called the Dyers to come
over for tea and to meet Mrs.
John Palmieri and her daugh-
ter, Adra, everything was sweet
ness and light.
Mrs. Palmieri Is the widow
of Judge John Palmieri, Of New
York, and is an Italian.
Naturally, Italian was the
language that was used that
afternoon. Adra Palmieri is one
of the most beautiful young
girls we've seen in ages. She
is darkly lovely. just 81 and has
the most fascinating streak OF
white through her black hair.
The Palmieris are sailing for
their usual summer stay in
Europe next month.
NOL. AND MRS. HENRY H.
" STICKNEY are giving a
large dinner at their place in
Baltimore next Friday and ever
SO many Army people are go
ing over from here.
1T is amazing how interested
L the service circles are in this
suffrage for the District. To
day numbers of them are assist
ing at the various designated
places. AS one Army matron
told us, so many service people
are stationed here so often and
learn to love Washington so
well, it seems the natural thing
upon retiring to come back here
to live. Consequently, they are
deeply interested in the vote,
for that one reason if nothing
else.
THE Army Relief is having

zaar May II, IL, 10 and three
young ladies are no end depressed
over it. The reason being that
their three mothers are so in
terested in the success Of it
that they have practically taken
every stitch Of their daughters
wardrobe and put it aside for
the sale.
The depressed young ladies
are Patsy Donohue, daughter OF
Commander and Mrs. Robert

Of General and Mrs. Amos Fries,
