felicity, celebrated the day of their union by a
wooden wedding at Scottish Rite Sanctuary, on
G street. The guests to the number of eighty,
were received by the happy pair, and the con-
gratulations, variousy worded, but with uni
versal ring OF sincerity and good wishes, came
from all sides. The presents, which were too
numerous to mention in particular, were hardly |
received and cared for before the good cheer
was enivened by instrumental and vocal mu-
sic. At 10:30 they all repaired to the banquet
room below, marching to the tune of "Anne
Rooney" where they found awaiting them a
repast of salads and cold meats, holding ''close
communion" with such refreshments as cham
payne, claret punch, etc. At each guests plate
a bouquet of roses and n japanese nap
kin, so arranged with wooden clothes
pin as to resemble butterfly. Deviating from
the prevailing custom of such occasions q. NJ.
G. Loefer was called to act as toast master, and
various persons were called upon to respond to
appropriate toasts all of whom did so in way
to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. The
guests adjourned before there seemed to be a
cessation of the good cheer, wishing for the
couple happy future and for themselves that
such wooden weddings came oftener. The cos
tunes worn by the ladies were particularly
tasteful and rich. Mrs. Hodges looked very
handsome in lavender silk. Miss Daisy
Charlton added much to her natural beauty by
a rich dress of white satin and lace, while many
of the other guests attracted attention and ad
miration by costumes peculiarly fitting
to their class OF beauty Among those

| terday at their elegant country residence, stu
ated seven miles from the city, by the Arkuta
Social Club and several additional invited
guests. 1t was the formal closing meeting of
the season of this popular club, and neither ex-
pense nor trouble was spared by the Metze
| rotts to give the members of the clnb and their
lady friends royal reception and an opportu-
| nifty to enjoy the various diversions of day on
their beautiful farm. The party which con-
sisted of twenty-five persons, left the city early
| in the morning in large bus, and after
pleasant drive reached their destination shortly
before noon and were at once seated to an elab-
crate luncheon. After refreshing themselves
the party. was arranged in group on the We
randall of the newly constructed residence and
Professor Markaise, who manipulated the cam
era, gave them rare picture. Several hours
were spent in exploring the beautiful woods,
after which supper was served, during
| a a nf he dow
played by four musicians. A country dance,
the like of which is only occasionally enjoyed,
began in the spacious and elaborately decorated
barn at o'clock and continued until 10, when

arriving home at midnight. Among those pres

The marriage of Miss Letitia Aldrch, niece
of Mrs. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, and Mr..
bonneville Widman, editor and proprietor of
the Idaho Statesman, will take place on Tues
day, at O'Clock, in st. Johns Episcopal
Church. There will be no bridesmaids, and
Senator Stewart will give the bride away.
There are no invitations out except verbal ones.
Mrs Stewart Is authority for the statement that
there will be no wedding reception, 'As it
would be impossible to entertain half of those
whom We would like to have in the limited ac-
commodations of our apartments, equally i'm
possible to draw the line without giving
offense," and she sensibly concluded to forego
reception that would be unsatisfactory to
herself and her friends. The wedding there
fore will be simple church ceremony, and all
those who choose can attend The bride will be
attired in a French gray cashmere and brocade
with hat, gloves, parasol, and shoes to match.
The happy pair will start from the church di-
rectly on the bridal tour, visiting Elmira,
n. Y, where the grooms relatives reside,
going thence to Idaho to make preparations for
residence abroad, Mr.. Widman having been
appointed United States consul at Singapore.
Miss Aldrich's talents, united to her
amability and beauty, have made her
exceedingly popular in Washington society,
and she will be greatly missed from the intel
lectual circle she so adorned Mr. Wildman Is
also we'll and fayorably known as young man
of exceptionally fine talents, and he has been
here during the past season representing the in
terests of his paper in Idaho.

Institution, and his charming wife entertained

evening in honor of their niece, Miss Smith, of
Illinois. Mr.. James Traylor sang number of

to the Deep in a magnificent manner. The

pretty and quite wonderful. The Berry Band,
of Georgetown, contributed some very beautiful
music. Mr.. Schuermann's pretty niece, Miss
Smith, sang great many songs. Miss Smith
possesses q clear, strong, and charming voice.
Among the many present were the Misses
