SOCIETY. Miss Fontaine Fahnestock And Lt. Warwick Stabler To Be Married Saturday Announcement Comes as Surprise, But Was Hastened by Uncertainty Of Bridegroom’s Leave From Post Unexpected but pleasant is the latest news of a bride-elect who has just completed plans for her marriage. Miss Fontaine Fahnestock and Lt. Warwick Stabler, U. S. A, will be married at 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Because there was no news up to yesterday morning as to when or if Lt Stabler would be able to obtain leave, no arrangements for the simple ceremony were made until yesterday afternoon. Only relatives and mutual friends of the young couple will be present at the wedding ceremony, which will take place in the home of Miss Fahnestock’s father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs. Snowden A. Fahne- stock, on Massachusetts avenue. Afterward there will be an informal reception for the wedding guests. Possibly some out-of-town relatives will come here for the wedding—but as they could not have ‘received news of the plans for the forthcoming marriage until last evening, there is no definite news as to whether they will be able to make the trip to the Capital. Young Sisters of Bride ‘Will Be Only Attendants. Miss Fahnestock will have as her only attendants her young sisters, Clare and Mary Lee Fahnestock. Mr. Wells Stabler, who is located in Washington with the State Department, will act as best man for his brother. They are sons of the late Mr. Herbert Stabler, long & member of the United States diplomatic serv-¢——m——————————— ice. Their mother, Mrs. Stabler, is expected to be present at the wed- ding. Lt. Stabler is stationed at Fort Devens, near Boston, and he will take his bride there to reside fol- lowing the wedding. Although the final plans for their marriage were necessarily sudden, due to the uncertainty of Lt. Stab- ier's leave, there has been nothing hasty about the general marriage plans, for the engagement of Miss Fahnestock and Lt. Stabler was an- nounced almost two years ago. The bride-elect has spent some time abroad, and is well known here and in Newport where, as a sub- debutante, she was entertained fre- quently while visiting her grand- mother, the late Mrs. Gibson Fahne- stock.

Sidney E. Kent, jr., is stationed at Fort Belvoir, where he is with the 84th Engineers, in Company B.

He is attached to the camoufiage unit at Fort Belvoir. R More interest than is usually created by school plays is being shown in the Chinese Shadow Play to be given tomorrow evening in the gym- nasium of the Sidwell Friends School by the Red Gate Players of New York. The proceeds will go to United China Relief, in which the school is particularly interested, since the children of many of the Chinese Embassy families are students there. Dr T.V. Soong and Mme. Soong have three daughters, Laurette, Mary Jane and Katherine, enrolled, and their cousin, Phoebe Shih, also attends that school. Gen. Chu Shih-ming, Military Attache of the Embassy, and Mme. Chu have a son, Daniel, in the school, and Barak McNair, who was born in Shanghai, also attends Sidwell's. His mother, Mrs. Roy Perrin McNair, is a patroness for to- morrow’s benefit play, and others who are patronesses and who have children in the school are Mme. Sao-kee Alfred Sze and Mme. T. S. Hsih, Mrs. Emmet C. Gudger, who is chairman of the Parents’ Auxiliary, also is & patroness. Chinese tea is to be served, in the dainty little cups without handles, that are typical of China. ‘There is some disagreement as to the correct translation of the play’s name. One group insists that it should be called “The White Snake Lady,” while another set—and this columnist—holds out for “The White Dragon Lady.” China than snakes.) The story is (Dragons are much more popular in based on an old legend symboliz- ing the struggle between good and evil. * = * % lndel;me Austin and her mother, Mrs. T.

It was a young and naive youth who rang the diplomat's doorbell and, when he was ushered into the apartment, stated, “I am here to tell you all about air raids.” It developed that the air-raid warden has never seen a real black- out, but he doesn’t know yet that his “pupil,” truly diplomatic, has had first-hand experience with bombings.
