', -.. fiT r' ;"'r Mi EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, THTTRSDAY, ATTGURT 28, 1919 H K" ji V ' K tt ,- r in- CST GOSSP SOfT PEOPLE - iVancy Wynne Regrets thcs Death of Mrs. Albert Hoff man She Talks of the Wedding Plans of ' Miss Martin and Mr. Fox I MUST ear I was greatly shocked yesterday to hear of Leta RulHvan Hoffman'') death. It must be n grcnt Borrow to her family. She and Mr. Hoff man had been married just a little more than a year, and their little son was born on August 10. ' I heard that she was delighted with her baby and was Rotting along so well, nnd then the news came? that she hod a sudden attack of heart failure and had died in almost a ctf minutes. Mrs. Sullivan and Frances were staying there in Green wich, but Ita was' at the hospital still. I have not heard if they were with her or were, able to get there in time. Nor have I heard whether her husband was with her at the time plltinr. T hnno n. fnr litn ra1c. KlT, - " "" " Thev were nnrfpctlv devoted tn each 'other and so happy in their married life, though Leta had not been at all strong. I suppose there must have been some heart weakness. It's hard to tell when these unexpected things happen just what the cause is. It makes me think of the time Violet Whelen died. Her little son was ten days old, and Violet was apparently well and 'getting strong, when a sudden weakness came on and she was dead be fore the doctor could get there. An odd roincldencc about thnt is that Mrs. Sullivan, Leta'H mother, and Violet Whclen's mother, the late Mrs. Charles Whelm, were great friends. . Leta was the .Tames Francis Sullivan's second daughter. Frances is n little older and, after Ieta, who, by the way, was named for her aunt, Mrs. Clews, who died just two weeks ngo today, there is Livingston, while Elaine, the younger daughter, in still at school. I feel so sorry for her parents and husband nnd tfic little motherless boy ! IIIEAH I'mily Vox is going to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of her brother, .Toe, to Ituth Martin, which is to take place on Saturday, the 4th of October, at the 'Church of the Sacred Heart, Mount Washington, just outside of Baltimore. Huth is to have a great number of bridesmaids, and I do think that makes such a pretty wedding party, don't' you? Anne Martin, her sister, is to be maid of honor, and the other bridesmaids are Lucy Lord, of New York ; Mary Cum mings, of Augusta, Ga. ; Marion Shrivcr, of Westminster, Ky. ;' Mary Bruce Klnsolving, Sophy Stewart, Dor othy Dunham, Anne Kirk, all of Haiti more, and Mrs. Charles Latrobe, Jr., of Wilmington. I should say that Kuth must have gone to boarding school, shouldn't you? With bridesmaids from so many places. However, she maj have met them in war work. You ' never -can judge anything these days by the same means ns those of other times. Joe Fox is the youngest son of the late George Fox and Mrs. Fox, who was Miss Madge Ilulrd, of this city. He is, in fact, the youngest member of that family. His older brother, George, married Elizabeth Phillips; Itita Fox, the eldest sister, married n Mr. Bird, of New York; Fannie married Arthur Brockie; Sallie, another sister, is now Mrs. Parry, and Mary is Mrs. Down ing. The family lived first in Andalu sia, across from the place now occupied by Dr. Joseph Micklc Fox. They moved from there to Torresdalo nnd later, after Mr. Fox's death, took a house in Chest nut Hill, where Mrs. Fox, Emily and Joe have lived since that time. MY DEARS, keep your eyes and ears open for a very interesting engage ment to bo announced in about three weeks. The girl, though she does not exactly live in Philadelphia, is always een at every party going and belongs to the set who, instead of coming out two winters ago, turned to and did fine war work in the 13.
