In spite of wars and rumors of wars
the business OF marrying and giving
in marriage seems to be progressing
"'errily, as Of yore. and the early au-
Cmn crop here is particuIrrly inter
estinS. Historic old st. Johns Church
is to be the scene Of no less than
the next six neks. for there Martha
bowers will become the bride OF
Young Bob Taft. on October II:
Tom Bowers and Louise HELEN will
be married a trife later, and. on No
vembe 3. the wedding Of pretty Mary
McCauley and Lieutenant Howard
will take place.
The Taft family is expected to come
TO Washington for the great event,
and their friends in the Capital are
already planning to make their visit
q a. memorable me- aal one: 1t will be Mrs:
since she left the White House.
though Helen Taft has been here sew
eral times. ard the former Pre- esident
has made occasional business trips.
Mrs. Taft and Helen were both mem
hers or st. John g Church when they
and the McCauleys all belong to the
parish. so 1t is natural that these
weddings should be scheduled to take
place within it's sacred and aristocrat-
ic portals. Washington folk love to
tell the story of the young man who,
wanting a certain Government posi-.
tion. fortified himself with all sorts
Of letters from our best people and
approached President Lincoln. Lin

very carefully. returned them to the
ioung man. admonishinC him to keep
them safe. "for some day. you know.
YOU may want pew in st. Johns
and those ought to come in handy"
