PRUTT1" nearly ever body jou eci saw was at tho Itltz and the Ucllevue and It was astonishing how many soldier hus bands are home already. It's funny to see them, especially those who were married just a short tlmo before they sailed for I'rance. They are regular newlj-wcds.

I am so glad because it was &o hut el for him when his attractive joung wife died live or hK jears ngo. His fiancee Is Marguiilte Bard, tho daughter of Mr and Mis. Geoigo W. Bard of Reading. George Is tho non of the late George Stanley l'lilller and his mother was Miss Nelllo Montgomeij, a sister of Archibald Montgomery and Miss Bertha Montgomery, of Brjn Mawr. His brother Dick Philler is oveiteas with tho American Expeditionary l'orces. George's Hi at wife was Miss Carol Benton, a daugh ter of the llev. Louis I'. Benson and Mrs. Benson. I understand that there has been no date set for the wedding as yet, but it is likely that It will bo soon. I WAS soiry jesterday to nolo the death In New York of Mr. Clement A. Gris com. He was the son of the late Mr. Clement A. Giiscom and Mis. Griscom and a brother of Llojd and Rod Griscom, Mrs. .Sam Bettle and I'ansy Griscom. He mar lied Miss Genevieve Ludlow and has lived in New York most of tho time. One of his sons is a clctgyman, tho Rev. Acton Giis com, and Lieutenant Ludlow Griscom, another son, is in the aimy. Mr. Griscom was associated in almost as many business affairs as his father, who was one of the leading financiers of the last quarter of a century. Ho was fifty j ears of age and had been ill only a few days. It was pneumonia following "flu." Mrs. Griscom is a daughter of General Walter Ludlow, U. S. A., at one time chief of tho water derailment of this city. Mr. Grlscom's death will be greatly mourned by a largo family connection and many fi lends. LITTLE Marjories parents, being loyal Americans, haven't been to an ev enlng party for so long that they hardly know what the inside of a theatre or a ballroom looks like. So, last night being New Year's Eve, they thought they'd indulgo in a dance or two, at tho club. So they got all dolled to death, and little Maijorle, not having seen Mother "dresbed up" for ages, was pleased to pieces with her stunning black gown with-a touch of gold and a icd ros. Sho was disappointed, though, when Mother put on her canlage boots. "Oh, jou don't look dressed up a bit," she piotested. Then Mother put on her fur coat, and Marjorlo discovered to her horror that no hat was anywhere in eight. She butst into sobs, "Aren't jou going to wear a hat?" she walled. "Why, jou look as If jou weie Just going to tun up to the stoio foi a loaf of biead!"
