splendid home, Calumet Place, a representa-
tive gathering of friends. who congratulated
her son-in-law and daughter, Major and
Mrs. William F. Tucker, on the twenty
fifth anniversary of their wedding day The

night anniversary of the hostess, and the
event also introduced the future wife of her
grandson, Logan Tucker. in the person of
Miss Fanny Warner of Chicago, a most
charming and attractive young girl soon
to be identified with the Logan family
group.
Mrs. Logan was superbly gowned in sill
yer brocade, trimmed in real lace and
glistening silver brocade. That the dress
happens also to be the one worn by its
handsome owner at the coronation of the
| car of Russia but adds to the sentiment
connecting it with the other happy event.
Mrs. Tucker was also elegantly gowned
in brocade. but it was white and richly
trimmed with deep falls of real point lace
and garniture of white velvet grapes.
Diamond stars and a number of other dia-
mond ornaments added finishing touches.

mother and daughter that the CONNIE mora
tive dates the evening suggested seemed
impossible. Mr. Logan Tucker and Miss
Warner, who was daintily gowned in blue
silk and white lace, received with their
elders. The house was beautifully adorned
with flowers many of which were sent to
Mrs. Tucker. On the hall table upstairs a
large bowl was filled to overlooking with
the hundreds of kilograms, letters and
notes expressing the fluctuations of absent
friends On large tables also in an adjoin-
ing room were displayed a gorgeous array
of silver gifts from persons in Washington
and at a distance. Mrs. Roosevelt sent with
bunch of roses pretty note Of congratu-
lation.
