Tnucn Tor the gravity OF the conBre-
sation. You should have seen the
iow-hung barouche, painted bright
red and drawn by q spanking pair,
with red cooades beside their ears, in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Wichfeld. with
the two little. boys and the Danish
Minister, drove away. 1t 10 i'm
menseiy smart-two men on the box.
OF course-and almost lost my mind
over the sable robe they drew over
their knees.
All the diplomats were At the
Moore-MarQuisan wedding, and those
that weren't-if ] may be forgiven
an Irish bull-went to Baltimore for
Hugo de Pena's marriage to Ethel
Hundley. ! saw the Brazilian Am
bassador and Nine. da Cana and
Nine. Naony as well as Nine. Riano.
At ST. Matthews, also the secretary
but think most OF the South Ameri-
can contingent went over to the
Monumental City to see the son Of
the Uruguyan Minister and secretary
OF the legation married.
Came from New Orleans
To Marry In ST. Johns.
Next to the marriage OF Gertrude
KitchIn, daughter OF Congressman
and Mrs. Claude RItchin, to James
G. ShieIds-the two young people are
neighbors al Scotland Neck, 8. c.
which came as q complete surprise to
all but their most intimate friends.
the most surprising wedding was
that OF Marguerite Bispham. grand
daughter of Mrs. Sllas Casey. to
Lieut.. Frederick william Pennoysr,
jr., U. s. N, preparations for which
were FASTENED by wartime condi-
tons.
The ceremony took place but a few
hours after bride and bridegroom
reached Washington in ST. Johns
Church, where Miss Elephants par
ents were married just twenty-four
yeare ago. The brides mother came
with her from their home in New
Orleans, but her father. the Rev.
Clarence Bispham. was unable to make
the trip at this time. He'll come
North in June when his elder daugh-
ter, Sophie Bispham. will be married
to Charles Weiss. and will stay on for
his summer vacation. The second
wedding in the Bispham family will
be solemnized in St. Philips Church
Philadelphia, Of which Mr.. Bispham
was rector for fifteen years before
answering . call to New Laecps, ac-
ceptinE q call to New Orleans.
Another interesting wedding took
place this week. the marriage OF
pretty Peggy Lake. daughter OF Mrs
LIttleton Lake, TO Capt. Dan T. X.
Camp Meade. The ceremony WAS in
Mrs. Lakes apartment In Stonelsigh
Court, very quiet and with only mem
bers Of the two families present. Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Ardery Dickson
came from Pittsburgh for their sons
marriage. Captain Dickson IL due
back at Camp Meade on April 20. and
after that Mrs. Dickson will be at
StoneieIEh Court. The possibility
that he might be ordered abroad was
responsible for the wedding taking
place SO soon.
Although the Archbishop OF York
completed his visit to Washington
and started off again on his tour
Of the country without officiating at
any of the Eastern weddings, he did
take part in one very pretty cere-
mony. the double christening of Rob
ert Barclay. son OF the counselor OF
the British embassy and Mrs. Col
willie Barclay, and Anne Lyon, baby
also OF the British embassy. He was
much fstsd also, being entertained at
dinner at the White House as well
~ at the British embassy; and the
reception given in his honor at the
Corcoran Gallery OF Art rather dim
med the Iuster of the two Easter
Monday balls.
Tho post Lenten season started off
with q rush SO that the unwonted
absence OF Easter Monday weddings
WAS scarcely noted: and the week
wound up in a blaze Of glory with
the ball at the willard last evening
for the American. British, French.
Belgian Permanent Blind Relief.
which was one OF the most success
