has occurred in Washington for many
years. Quaint old st. Johns church,
where the ceremony was performed, is
one Of the landmarks of Washington, an
outwardly dingy little stucco-coated
building Of colonial type, just across
Lafayette square from the executive man
sion. Its capacity is about 500, standing
room included, and this did not serve to
accommodate 1.-THE of those who wished

ma, the chief justice and Mrs. Fuller, Jus
tice and Mrs. Harlan, Justice and Mrs.
Shiras. Justice and Mrs. Gray, Justice
and Miss Brewer.
The interior of the little church was
like the corolla of huge flower. The
brilliantly lighted altar in the depths or
the darkened auditorium, with its golden
points and snowy candles, formed the
stamens and pistils, while the f1ower-en-
crusted walls and pillars, through which
the crimson hangings scarcely showed,
were like the petals of monster blos-
SON. The air was heavy with the scent
of Easter lilies, Brides roses and orange
blossoms, ,mingling with the odor of hl-
les of the valley and carnations. Palms
filled all the available space within the
chancel, while broad white ribbons,
stretched down the aisles, were dropped
by the >ushers, link by link, as the pews
filled with the distinguished guests. The
ushers were all attaches of the embassy,
Col. Arthur Lee, Mr.. Gerard Lowther,
Sir Charles Eliot, Mr.. Max Muller and
Mr.. Humphreys Owen.

her friends, had been quite SICK all the
week and leaned heavily on the arm~ot
her father as the procession moved down
the aisle Her wedding gown was 1ull
court costume of white satin, the front
a cleaning network of lace and pearls,
while masses of lace, caught with orange
blossoms edged the long court train from
the shoulders to the floor.

ants was Master Sidney Kent Legare, In
the costume of page of Charles II. He
bore the heavy train. and was followed by
the bridesmaids. These were Miss Esther
