Engagements come tumbling on the heels of weddings, and the season promises to be a brilliant one in spite of the war clouds hanging over the country. Two interesting engagements were announced on Thursday, and practically the entire social interest of this week centers around the brides. There will be a trio of fashionable mid-week wed dings, and their attendant festivities will fill in the intervening days. On Tuesday Miss Minnie Fleischner and Vniliam Ehrman will wed at the Ho il Multnomah, and at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening Miss Rosalind Kingsley will become the bride of Med Xord Beed at the home of her parents. The same evening, one hour later Trinity Episcopal Church will be the eceno of the Koertler-Huber nuptials. Just now Washington society Is much concerned over its hopelessly muddled state of affairs. It is Impos sible to entertain all the distinguished guests in diplomatic circles at' the same time and try to maintain the position of neutral host or hostess. Tp say the least, the atmosphere Is terribly strained, and many awkward and deli cate situations are constantly arising. Unquestionably the new Minister of the lu.mlnlcan republis will be lionized by Svashlnpton hosts.
