The Washington herald., 1917-09-30

n hnore charming Weddlng tnan that
Of Miss Emma Allen Washington to
Mr.. Chester c. Baxter, would be hard
to imagine, and certainly not in years
has there been one Of more historic
interest, since the bride Is a descen-
dant in direct line from the WASH
ington's who inherited Mount Vernon
from the first President.
This week starts out propitiously
with a wedding of international in
terest, that of Miss Julia Appleton
Meyer, OF rare old New England
stock, to Mr.. Brambilla, counselor of
the Italian Embassy, and It will end
with at least a half dozen of almost
equal interest including that of Miss
Marie Ahnighito Peary, daughter Of
the North Pole explorer, to Capt Ed
ward Stafford. Coast Artillery Corps,
u. S. r.; that of Miss Dorothy
Adams. daughter OF DR.. and Mrs.
Samuel S. Adams, to Lieut.. William
Ayres Borden, Coast Artillery, U. S.
A; and that OF Miss Margaret Allies
to Mr.. Pere A. Wilmer. and others
OF almost more interest than any
international marriage to take place
in this country in several years, is
that of Miss Julia Appleton Meyer
and Mr.. Giuseppe Brambilla, coun-
selor of the Italian Embassy, at
Hamilton, Mass, at noon tomorrow.
There will be quite a contingent Of
Washington society at the Meyer
home, including the Ambassador of
Italy, Count Macchi di Cellere, who
is to be best man for Mr.. Brambilla,
and Countess Macchi; Baron Pietro
Arone di Valentino, first secretary;
Gen. Emilio Guglielmotti. military
attache; Capt Lamberto Vannutelli.
naval attache. all of the Embassy
staff: Mr.. and Mrs Charles Sumner
HamIin, Mrs. William Phillips, Mr..
and Mrs. Aksel Christian p. Wich-
field, OF the Danish Legation; Capt.
and Mrs. Perry Belmont; Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugh c. Wallace, and others.
Count Macchi di CeIlere and the
Countess are doubly interesting as
well as interested since our affair
with Argentina came on, as she is a
native Of Argentina. 1t was while
the Count was serving as first sec
retary of the Italian Embassy at
Buenos Ayres that he met and mar
ried Senorita Dolores Cobo, a MEM
Der of a most aristocratic old span
ish family She is now Countess di
Cellere. As they are both rich, theiT
gift, of which one could not get even
an inkling, will be quite princely.
If he chooses to do so, Mr.. george
Won Lengerke Meyer. may wear upon
his breast, when he gives his daugh-
ter in marriage tomorrow to Mr.. Giu-
seppi Bfambilla, the splendid deco
ration Of the Nevski Order, bestowed
upon him by the Gar Of Russia
while he was Ambassador to that
country, or rather shortly before he
left st. Pltcrzburg. The order was
the very highest within the power Of
the Gar to confer. and was founded
BY Katherine the Great. the SemiTamis
Of thl .SOrth. and the insignia is a
broad scarlet ribbon worn across the
breast. Clasped at the hip with a
cross set with Jewels. and with it is
a large star, to be worn on the left
side of the coat. Perhaps Mr.. Mey-
er, who is a bit democratic about
such things. has forgotten he even
owns the PRECIOUS decoration.
The Meyer family were no less in
favor with King Victor Emmanuel
and his consOrt while Mr.. Meyer rep
resented this country at the Italian
-court. One mark Of the Queens
favor will be present at the wedding
tomorrow in the person of one or
several Of the family Of royal Ital-
ian poodles presented to the Misses
