One of the prettiest home weddings this sea-
son was that of Miss Marguerite langley and Mr..
Robert W. Dutton. The interior Of DIR. b. B.
Adams's home, at 927 New York avenue, was
deliberately decorated with plants and flowers,
and more brilliant gathering of youth and
beauty than that which filled the house would
be hard to find In the bay window in the
drawing room was ngenously arranged trop-
ical bower, inside of which the clergyman stood
while performing the ceremony. Depending
from wire in the centre of the bower was an
umbrella of asparagus vines, and here the con
tracting parties made their VOWS of fidelity.
Miss Langley made very interesting bride as
she walked to the impromptu altar, to the ever
sweet strains of the wedding march. Two lit
tie tots preceded her, bearing flowers, and stood
near while the marriage service was read. Miss
Langley's dress was of white faille, made in
princess style, with front of mousseline-de-
sole. She carried magnificent bouquet of
Puritan roses, and her single ornament was
diamond pendant, the gift of the groom. Among
Dutton, Miss Dutton, Dr. and Mrs. Adams, ex-
Mayor and Miss Emory, DR.. and Mrs. Pritchard,
Mr.. and Mrs. Swan, Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes, Mr.:
and Mrs j. S. Latimer, the Misses Bouldin, of
Baltimore, and others well known in Washing
ton social life. After the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs, Dutton left for the South.
The Short Story Club met Wednesday even
ing at Hotel Fredonia, Mrs A. IL. Mohl, the
president, in the chair. Miss Crarey favored
the company with some choice instrumental
music on the piano, The story-teller Of the
evening was Mrs. Stelle, and the title was ''Two
Aunts," and it turned out to be on the old
theme that never wears out, "Life's Young
| Dream" The story's chief merit was the easy
and wdeawake way in which was told rather
| than anything unusual in its plot. The only
unusual thing about it was that neither hero
| nor heroine was poor, proud, or forced to earn
living by the sweat of their brows. All their
woes were laughable, sentimental ones. After
| the story came discussion and more music,
which was most acceptably rendered. Among
the guests and members present were Mrs.
| Bach, Mrs. Nj. A, Lockwood, Mrs. Leggett,
Miss Richards Mrs. Beall, of Georgetown; Mr..
and Mrs Coolidge, Mrs. Ralston, Mrs. Sperry,
| Mrs. Mel. King, Mr.. and Mrs. McCreary, Mrs.
Mcpherson, Miss Townsend, Miss Harrison,
| Mrs. La Fetra, Miss Hinman, and many Others
| The next meeting will be held two weeks hence
at the same place.
