WASHINGTON SUNDAY,
JEAN ELIOT%
LETTER

there, and out in the garden the tea tables
were adorned with baskets filled with garden
flowers. On one table Black Eye Susans
were might effective, and on another daisies,
and another roses. and so on. Il forget.
Wasn't it rather remarkable how you
stumbled upon the Henry Mays? Do you
really believe that Cecilia May is about to
announce her engagement to Wilhelm vom
Rath, of the German embassy? 1t has been
rumored here, and Colonel May rather veri-
fes it. Cecilia May is a beauty, and she
would do credit to her country no matter
where she went. Of course, this engagement
recalls the former engagement with Robert
Bacon, but that is in the past, and do not
believe in digging up the past when there is
possibility that it will cause any shadows on
the present.
The new Ambassador to France and Mrs.
William 6. Sharp and the new Ambassador
to Russia and Mrs. George T. Marye are be-
ing feted on all sides. As both are really so
well known here, everyone who is in town
wants to do something to show how glad they
are of the good fortune that sends them on
such interesting missions. As it happens,
both Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Marye are pleased
as punch with their particular posts. Mrs.
Sharp is just as interested as she can be
about going to Paris, and Mrs. Marye is an
ticipating Russia with the eagerness of a
child. She has travelled so much, but never
been in Russia. Mrs. Sharp, who is not very
strong, is returning to her home in Elyria,
Ohio, to spend some time, and in the fall she
will join her husband abroad The Maryes
are leaving town shortly, too. They 20 to
their place in California until time for them
to start to Russia.
And speaking of having influence with
the weather man-Rose Mary Bradford just
simply cornered all the cool breezes and SUM-
shine there was Tuesday for her wedding day.
She was married to Lieut. Clarence Alvin
Richards, of the navy, at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, in ST. Margaret's Church, with a
large reception afterward at the Washington
Club.
Of course, you know what a beautiful
bride she made in her lovely white satin
robes. Her gown was so simple and so ef-
fective, and her veil was arranged simply
with rose point lace around the front and
orange blossoms She carried the sort of
bridal bouquet love-a shower of gardenias
and lilies of the valley.
Rear Admiral Bradford, who gave his
daughter in marriage, wore the full dress
uniform of his rank, and the ushers all wore
their beautiful blue uniforms. The best man
alone, Mr.. Richards brother from Oklahoma,
wore the conventional afternoon attire.
Just where they will live and their future
plans all depend upon the orders the bride
groom will receive from the Navy Depart
ment upon his return. Whatever they may
be, hope they won't take Rose Mary away
from Washington, or at least not very far,
for we all love her and need her here. What
she has done for the Junior Republic and so
many other charities will never be known
except by those who have benefited by her
goodness.
What blessing the automobile is these
warm days to us city-bound folk. And rum
ming it a close second in my estimation is
the open-air moving picture show. Wash
ington Park" the new airdome in Eighteenth
street, is getting to be quite fashionable
gathering place. The other evening | saw
the Gatewoods and the Norths, Ruth Bliss,
Dr. Lucius Warren Johnson and his hand
some wife; Leroy and Mary Golf, with their
boys; pretty little Clorinne Hunter, with her
mother; a dashing looking dark-haired girl |
did not know, and train of suitors, besides
numerous other interesting folk. Another
time Edyth Howard and Florence Farms
worth were there with Mr.. Hengstler and
Mr.. Broughton.
Now, Susan, ! want to remind you that
