Per.
Miss Schofield's farewell gifts to her
attendants are dainty little octagonal-
shaped gold vanity boxes, with enam-
eled tops, pink for the bridesmaids
and blue enamel for the maid of honor.
The gifts sent to her are of great va
riety and beauty. One of the most in
teresting is her great-grandmother's
wedding china, made in England, and
presented to the bride Of this genera
ton of the family by Mrs. Kflbourne,
Miss Schofield's grandmother.
Another Washington paper in speak
ing Of the military features of the
wedding says:
June weddings have always suhi-
GENTLY explained the presence Of
many through that month and this
year will be plenty of magnets Of that
variety to hold the world of society
intact. Engagements grow shorter
as the war period advances and mar
rage ceremonies follow fast upon the
heels Of many Of the most interesting
announcements. The engagem of
Miss Georgia Schofleld, whose mar
riage to Lieut.. Doald Fairchild Wash
burn, o. 8. NJ. took place yesterday at
st. Johns. in Lafayette square. was
announced only about fortnight ago,
and In that short interval all the.pre-
parations were completed for yester-
days elaborate and beautiful cere-
mony. The appearance Of the men Of
the wedding party in special full dress
uniform was by permission of the sec
rotary of the navy, such uniform, by
recent order, being under interdict in
war times. The permission was
compliment to the bride, who is a
daughter of the late Lieut. Gen. John
M. Schofield, the ranking officer in
the army at the time of his death, and
who several times acted as secretary
of war. Incidentally, the uniforms
added their usual brilliancy to the
ceremony in the historic old church.
The handsome brooch worn with her
bridal costume was gift to the bride
from Mrs. Daniel Lamont, widow of
the secretary Of war of the second
Cleveland administration, who died
a few days ago. The friendship be-
tween Mrs. Lamont and the brides
mother was of long standing and the
brooch is among the most priced in a
very valuable collection of wedding
gifts.
