Personals.

I1ciSH ldIt, OduSHIeF OF the TreSl-
dent and Mrs. Taft, is the debutante
| today to whom the social and all other
worlds are offering welcome. Nationa
and international interest will surround
the White House this afternoon from )
| to Z, when this charming young girl
will have the personages of the capital
members of the diplomatic circle, of the
official circle and of the residents with
whom her parents had pleasant social
relations before they went to the White
House. as well as since-pass in review
before her. Events of a similar character
have not been infrequent of late years
at the home Of the President, but the
fact loses none of its worldwide OF
home Importance because of that.
Miss Taft, accompanied by Mrs. Beck.
man Winthrop, went to the Camperio
Terry wedding today, and wore a smart
costume in blue. She was much observed
both at the church and at the wedding
breakfast.
The only International wedding of prom
inence which has been announced for the
Capital this last month of 1910 is likely
to be that of Miss Eleanor Terry, only
daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Silas
Terry, and Lieut.. .Felippo Camperio, late
ly naval attache of the Italian embassy,
which took place at noon today at ST.
Thomas Church and was witnessed by a
large assemblage of persons distinguished
in diplomatic. official or resident society.
Ever since the announcement Of their
engagement, which was made in the early
fall, there has been widespread interest
in their wedding, notably because the
bride Is q favorite, personally admired
both for her good looks and social adapt
iveness. and the bridegroom being one
Of the foreigners who were thoroughly at
home here, genial and responsive and as
popular at the clubs as he has been In
West End drawing rooms. The courtship
of the gallant Italian and the handsome
daughter of the retired rear admiral has
been going on some time, and last year
the bride of today added to her knowl-
edge of continental languages by acquir-
ing Italian.
For the past month the couple have
had dinners and luncheons and hospital
tiles of every sort and kind given to en-
liven the period Of waiting for the we'd
ding day. When foreigner and an
American girl wed elsewhere than In
Washington the securing Of a fortune for
the first named seems to be the regular
thing. The very reverse has been the his
tory Of the International weddings here,
except in a few notable instances which
all will recall, but the fact that all of
these alliances have been singularly
happy ones is even a more satisfactory
fact to record
The chancel was set with palms and
foliage plants and the altar vases filled
with white chrysanthemums.
The ushers who seated the guests and
afterward preceded the couple to the
chancel were: Gen. Clarence Edwards
Gen. Montgomery Macomb, Lieut.. Com
mander Pfister, naval attache of the
Italian embassy: MI Centaro, counselor
of the Italian embassy; Lieut.. Command
err Newton A. McCully, Capt. Archibald
W. Butt, DR.. Raymond Spear. U. S. N;
Maj. w. V. Judson, Engineer Commits
sioner OF the District: Mr.. Chauncey
Hackett. Mr.. Harry Day of New York.
Mr.. Ralph Bloomer of New York and Mr..
Nathan Terry.
The bride was escorted by her father
and preceded to the chancel by her
cousin, Mrs. Cusachs Of Annapolis.
The bridal toilet was extremely be-
coming to the slight figure it adorned. A
tulle veil was worn under veil of point
lace, which is an heirloom in the family
