NANCY WYNNE TALKS ABOUT MANY
MATTERS OF SOCIAL, INTEREST,"
Foreign Wedding OF Local Interest and Recent Betrotba
are ouo2eSss Tos n With the Beau Monde

<>r INTEREST to many persons is the
)msrriage Of Mrs. Florence Horwitz
-, laughter OF the late Mr.. and Mrs
o~v,Iie Horwitz, of Baltimore and Paris
- widow Of John Key. TO Count
o.. al San Gallo. of Italy. Mrs. Key
.,ster of Mrs. william G. Bullitt, OF
~. city, and has lived most OF her time
a. paris since she was divorced from
~. arst husband. Mr.. Key. There Is
-,,,ts a romantic story in connection with
~. divorce, for twas said by her init.
,,ste friends that, though she was jus.
.,ced In the divorce, both he and she still
s.red very much for each other, and so It
rroved to be, for just before he died he
h.~xed her to go to him and they were
v.married virtually on his deathbed. II
,,ss found after his death that all his
,roney was willed to her, even when they
are still divorced That was some years
30 before Mrs. Horwitz, her mother,
died.
m Count Gallo. to whom she has been
engaged for the last several months. I
hear the wedding was to have taken place
before now, but the war makes It so diff
eult 10 get licenses in the various coun.
tr,es and you know abroad 1t is not as
n "A here. For some reason the Count had
10 10 all the way back to italy for his
papers, and then he had business of state
a attend to, so the twenty-fifth was the
'frt possible date.
The wedding will take place at the
Church of st. Pierre de Chaillot, and will
be witnessed by the immediate relatives
and few intimate friends, among the
latter Mr.. william G. Sharp, the Ameri-
can Ambassador to France. There will
be small wedding breakfast at the
plaza, and after a months motor trip
The Count and Countess will live in Paris.
I wonder II Willie and Ernesta Bullitt
will manage to go to the wedding? They
lave been travelling in Germany and
Austria, you know, on their very pro-
longed honeymoon, and I hear will re-
turn to this country in a week or so.
Sallie Hays's engagement to Rear Ad-
niral Goodrich came as a sort of surprise
70 many, though some of us who know
any members Of the navy set were a bit
prepared, for the three Hays, Bessie,
eailie and Annie, have always been fond
Of the navy, and have attended many
AFFAIRS down at the yard. Sallie had been
greatly interested last winter in the
Queen Mary's Guild work, and is in
charge of special Red Cross chapter
which meets in Holy Trinity parish house.
sallie is the middle one of the three sis
ters and has always been a popular mem.
ber Of society.
Admiral Goodrich is, of course, a we'll
known figure in the history Of our coun-
Try, and commanded several ships during
the Spanish War. He has been living
since his retirement from the navy in
Pomfret. Conn. 1 am sorry to say that
Mrs. Hays has been very Ill for some
time and so the newly engaged pair have
pot decided on a wedding date as yet.
In these days one does not often hear
Of great devotion on the part of family
retsiners such as In the days Of "unc!e"
and "mammy" and "aunty," but the
story 1 heard yesterday of the devoted
admiration Of descendant of "mammys"
highest sort of fattery, imitation. She
had been to "a ball honey chile, and deed
sfn you all 'ould see how dose people
copies you, why your Liza she Jes set
dere smokin' jes' like you was doin 1t
yo'sef." At least that's what her COM
panion told her mistress.
Do you realize that Germantown and
Chestnut Hill are fairly bursting with
debutantes this year? Usually there are
ssome five or six. but this year there are,
Just think: Emily Welsh, Dorothy New
bold. Elizabeth Trotter. Ethel NewboId,
cainor Baird. Mary Porcher, Pauline
Denckla, Mary Lowering. Margaret Har-
ris. Nancy Smyth, Margaret La Rue,
harsaretta Foltz, Emlen Shipley. Geor-
siAnna Pitfeld and several others still
whose names I do not just recollect.
