When Mr.. and Mrs. Adams left for
their wedding journey. the bride wore
dark blue velvet gown elaborately
braided with a collar of ermine.
With it she wore a black velvet coat
with a collar OF skunk and a small
black silk plush hat with a wide
band of black and gold Russian en-
| brOidery across the front. giving the
hat a Russian effect.
Mr.. Adams is of New York and is
in the aviation service, stationed at
| Camp Upton. Long Island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene J. Deuth
have gone to New York to spend a
few days. They will occupy their
town house at 2 East Eighty-sixth
street while there.
J The musical and dance which was
to have been given by the Dixie
Chapter, L. d. C.. on Wednesday,
December 10. has been unavoidably
postponed.
! Two years ago next Tuesday on the
, eighteenth day of December, Presi-
: dent Wilson and Edith Boiling Gait
! weJe married at the little home of
| the bride in Nineteenth street. 1t
! was just a. week before Christmas,
but that year 1t did not seem so much
| like the Yuletide season. for the
! weather was warm and the ground
! not covered with snow, as 1t is now.
| The sleigh bells which one heard oc-
casionally during the last few days,
| especially in the country where the
snow remained packed and white,
| made one feel the real Christmas
J spirit.
! Now the same little house, which
Will always be one Of the historic
: ndmarks of the nations Capital as
i0ng as it stands, and the ground af-
'-r the house is gone, has been
bought and is occupied by Mr.. and
, Hrs Lee Phillips. Until they moved
| into it about a month ago, the house
had been closed from the day its
mistress left 1t As the President 5
bride.
Yesterday President and Mrs. Will
son went on a shopping tour as they
| have done several times already. They
visited several shops on F street and
attracted a great deal of interest.
Every one knew that Mrs. Laurence
Benet, who had been such a wonder
full worker in the American Ambu-
lance Corps in Paris, could not re-
main idle long after she had to give
up her work there when the ambu-
lance was placed under the charge of
| the Red Cross. She was recently ap-
pointed chairman of the executive
committee of Mrs. Duryea's hospital
in Paris. Now while Mrs. Duryea is
in this country collecting funds for
the splendid work she is doing in
France, Mrs. Benet Is in charge of
| the entire management of the hospital.
When Mrs. Duryea returns to work
she will probably share the response
bility Of the management with Mrs.
Benet.
Quite the most indefatigable worker
in the interest of the American Am
bulance is Mrs ]. M. Burrell. She
grows more interested every day.
Mrs. Burrell is begging people to
furnish the Ambulance with mittens
| and wristlets and huge woolen socks
that can be slipped over plaster
casts and bandages. The wounded
suffer with cold in their legs when in
plaster cast, because their circula-
ton is poor; also their hands ache
frightfully as frequently the nerves
| in their wrists are severed, causing
the circulation to stop in their hands.
DR.. Earl Clark talked one day last
week to the women who are work.
ing for the Washington ward Of the
American Ambulance, or American
Hospital at Neuilly, as It is called
now, telling them of the wonderful
work done there. He has just re-
turned to this country after serv-
ing in the hospital for about six
months. His wife is there now nurs-
ing, but may return shortly; they
have not yet quite settled on their
plans. '~"
Mrs. Strong, wife Of the Governor
Of Alaska, has raised the money
necessary to care for another bed

American Hospital. This bed which

ment war work committee Of which
Mrs. Franklin K. Lane Is. chairman,
