Kenyon street. Representative and
Mrs. J. Campbell Cantrill Of Kentucky
being Of her family's intimates in the
Congressional set. Then Mrs. DAN
iels. who had been away for a week in
Atlantic City with Mrs. Dewey, came
home, heard what was afoot and
promptly upset all those arrange
ments. She Is h,ost hospitable, any
, how. And besides she had known
Annie Pou all her life, and her par
ents somewhat longer and weren't
they both from North Carolina? She
would be positively offended II they
had the wedding anywhere but in her
Wyoming avenue house.
So the Cantrills agreed to divide
honors with the Danielses. They
would give the bridal dinner, which
was Immediately to precede the cere-
mony. and then the whole party would
adjourn to the Daniels house for the
ceremony. 1t was bit irregular. but
was really great fun. And of course
Vt wouldn't have been possible had II
been big wedding with hundreds Of
cards out. But while II was a regular
wedding, with bridesmaids and a ma

being the matron Of honor, and her
sister Margaret and his sister. Agnes
Walden. the bridesmaids-it was just
little family affair. with only small
company verbally invited.
So 1t was quite possible to make
shift within twenty-four hours of the
ceremony. Mr.. Walden. while he is

wedding trip. during which they will
visit the BRIDES home in North Caro-

Houghteling. U. s. NJ. c.. Of Chicago,
son Of the late James L. Houghte-
ling and brother OF Capt. James Law
renee Houghtelins, who married Miss
Laura Delano some eighteen months
ago.
There Is no hint as to the date or
place OF this wedding. Virginia has
been In the White Mountains with
her Aunt Helen. Miss Cannon. 1t is
fair to assume that the wedding will
not be loang delayed. for presumably

will be going overseas before long. 4

or course every one hopes 1t will
be in Washington. though as a matter
Of fact II It Is It seems quite probable
that some one will have to lend a
house for 1t too. The Cannons have
no permanent Washington home at
present.
