Mr. and Mrs. Hennen Jennings followed
the precedent set by the White House
for the wedding of the Secretary of the
Treasury and Miss Eleanor Wilson. and
before the bride and bridegroom had
started on their wedding journey, their
friends were receiving the announcements
Of the event. The superfuous number
of envelopes once used were dispensed
with. and while for the McAdoo-Wilson
wedding there was q single envelope,
none at all was used for the Jennings
Hackett wedding. The ancient custom Of
folding was carried out with simple good
taste, and except for the absence of a
sell, the announcements might have been
copies of those used for the wedding of
the brides grandmother.
Diplomats frequently have been con-
graduated of late on their rare good
fortune in having the peace conference
held At beautiful Lake Mohonk. Con-
gratulations might well be tempered a
bit. however, as at the charming hotel
where the distinguished delegates hold
sway, card playing Is not allowed. dane
ing is taboo, and some Of the refresh
ments deemed necessary by foreigners
and especially at the dinner hour. are
altogether dispensed with. But as one
of them added as he waved good-by yes
terday, there is much fresh air and cooi
water, and fine scenery"

gether in Washington in q long time.
The ceremony was performed in the

formed the ceremony, the bride wearing
q wedding gown Of soft. rich white satin
and tuIle with an establishment of rare

and valley lilies while orange blossoms
in tiny clusters added beauty to both the
bridal veil and gown.
Great clusters Of white peonies were
tied with white ribbons to the railing
down the stairway and the newell POST
at the foot of the steps. and were

uers. In relief to the white flowers was
the artistic effect given by the pink and
blue gowns of the brides attendants. In
