Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-One of
the prettiest weddings I ever attended
occurred yesterday morning in the
chapel of the Apostolic delegation,
which made the young widow of Gen.
Julio Rengifo. a former diplomat of
Spanish America, the wife of M. Eu-
gene Thiebaut, first secretary of the
French embassy at Berne, Switzerland.
Cardinal Martinelli officiated, both at
the ceremony and the low nuptial mass
that followed assisted by the rector
of st. Aloysius Church. Only the fam
lily of the bride, the members of the
French embassy now in the city, and
less than half dozen intimate friends
were present. Among the latter were
Mr. and Mrs. Symonds of South Caro-
lima, who have lived a great deal
abroad, and are special friends of the
gFooms parents. According to the
French law governing marriages, the
groom requires two witnesses, and as
M. Thebaut's parents could not come
10 America at this time, they chose Mr..
ana Mrs. Symonds to represent them.

sleur for a widow, no matter how
young and fair, to wear bridal white at
her second marriage, Madame Rengifo.

as such was not admissible. Instead,

win white and sable plumes, and the
prIqal veil which the grooms mother

point, was arranged as a fichu and
fastened with diamonds and pearls. 1t
