Wedding Ceremony Was
Simple and Sweet.

The wedding ceremony which pre-
ceded this brilliant reception, was
quite simple and sweet, with only q
few guests present, but in the little
company were such notables as Chief
Justice and Mrs. White, Justice and
Mrs. Holmes, and Justice Day, all
friends OF Lieutenant Wallsce's grand
father, the late Chief Justice Fuller.
The popular young couple Jared well
at the hands of their friends when
II came to wedding gifts. There was
a room full OF them, lovely fiat silver,
tea service, a handsome piece of
brio a brac from the President and
Mrs. Wilson, four heavy silver candle
sticks, the gift of Lord Northcliffe,
which were inscribed on the base with
the name OF the giver. Now that's
something I'd like to have myself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace gave Ruth
all her linen, and lovely linen 1t is,
and the gift Of Miss Helen Snow
Jones, a close friend OF the family,
was a portrait OF the bride, done in
pastels by a well-known artist. It's
simple thing; showing the girl in
her every day blue sweater, but the
artist has caught all the lllusive
charm OF the subject. suspect Mrs.
Patterson will be 10th to part with
that gift.

weddings and the War Take
Lead in Interest.

Weddings, weddings, weddings
there's at least one wedding a week
that everybody "as is anybody must
attend, and all conversational roads
lead to two ends nowadays-weddings
and the war. During the week just
past there were two weddings which
brilliant as any Washington has seen
In many seasons

follow the marriage OF Katherine Nc
Clintock and Capt. Franklin z. Ellis on
wednesday. owing to mourning In both
families; but the company which came
together for the ceremony, though small.
was a notable one, including many Of
the diplomats and the cream Of the Of
nciAl world. And the world and his wife
turned out for the reception at Mrs.
Robert W. Patterson's, which followed

son. and Lieut. Melville W. F. Wallace.

for both the wallacss and the Patter-
sons nll an important place In Washing
ton society, and the Winsome bride has
made the warmest sort Of friends on her
own account.

The one disappointing feature Of the
wedding, especially to the bride and her
mother. Mrs. Raymond Patterson. was
the fact that the governor of Illinois
and Mrs. Frank Lowden were not able
to be present, as they intended. They
were detained in Houston, Tex, where
their only son. Pullman Lowden. Is on
duty with the Illinois national guard.
They went down for some special re-
view OF the troops over which the gov
ernor presided.
