But then, who of us know that war would be upon us and it is only natural that they should not have waited. What would be tho use? An engaged girl as much in lovo as Gladys would not caio If her first winter out was a success or not, from the usual point of view of a debutante, and I, for one, think her par ents were very wise to give their consent to the announcement. Gilbert leaves next week for Fort Niagara to Join tho officers' camp. Gladys Is quite the prettiest of all tho Earle sisters and is a very great favorite, and I'm sure all her friends would Join me 'in wishing her every kind of happi ness. There was a rumor about yesterday that they were to bo married very soon, but I understand that Is Just talk. You never can toll these days, though. War makes great changes In a day sometimes.
