| Rebecca Davis of Loudoun county, Va,
took place last evening at the home of the
| bride, 2l2 y street northeast. The ceremony
| was performed by Rev. w. S. Hammond.
| pastor of Epworth NJ. E. Church South.
Owing to the recent death of the mother of
| the groom. only the immediate relatives
and two or three very intimate friends of
| the contracting parties were present.
| A pleasing souvenir to Lady Pauncefote
| of her Washington residence will be the
gift which will be made her by number
| of friends in this city. in response to a
| circular sent among them the past week
While Lord Pauncefote will surely remain
| in this country until next autumn, his fam
| lily are going abroad for their usual sum-
mer travels. As the London residence of
| the family is let for the spring season they
| are in no especial hurry to return there.
| The changes in the plans of the family
| Will probably also result in the staying here
| Tor while longer of Mr.. and Mrs Brom-
| ley, who are still south their wedding
| trip Contributors to the gift to Lady
| Pauncefote have been asked for their opin-
ion whether it should take the form of a
personal ornament or a piece of silver.
| Chances are that the former will be Sc
| lected.
