known as the most perfectly gowned
woman in Washington, both because
she has exquisite taste and because
she has plenty of means to follow her
taste in dress. Her gowns have al.
ways been chosen with rare care and
she bought much from the fashionable
costumers in Paris, where she was
frequent visitor before the war.
Those who are in position to know

the preparation of her trousseau, be-

complete. It's whispered, two weeks
before the date Of the wedding. Some
controversy arose as to the origin of
the gowns and frocks and linens and
laces. There were stories to the ef-
feet that French supply houses baked

brides wedding outfit was almost en-
tirely OF American origin.

dominating hues in the trousseau

opened for a series of old.time enter
tainments. The four great official re-
ceptions, which were omitted last win

matinee teas and frequent musicales.

son and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait were
quietly and simply welded this eve
ming in the parlors Of the brides un-

urged the strict necessity of conform

to the requirements of the law ! added
that in case the examination Of the
documents, to be submitted to the
Secretary Of Justice, led that official
to the conclusion there was legal jus

papers should be sent to the com
petent authorities for action. Some
of the cabinet ministers spoke in SINH
lar terms and it was finally unanimous
ly agreed that the Minister of JUS
tice, after receiving the documents,
should proceed in accordance with
the law.
