A WILKIE H. BRERETON,
U. S. NJ, who are soon to depart
this town, he for station in
China and she to go to Paris,
are certainly going to he missed.
Mrs. Brereton, or Alice, as she
prefers to be called, is an ex-
ceedingly talented artist and
some Of her portraits have re-
ceived rave notices from hard.
boiled critics.
Alice is one Of the few people

good one. Lieutenant Brereton
wants to have just one more ele-

Antoine's in New Orleans. And
he is going to have it.
The Breretons have lived since
their stay in Washington, In an
enchanting old house in George.
town and this house, again Alice
is talking, possesses a ghost. A
very nice and kindly ghost that
never does anything but make
itself known by a curious snap
ping sound, sort Of like the click
Of teeth. OF course Lieutenant
Brereton says 1t is nothing In the
world but the house settling, but
Alice says mot" So.
