The Washington herald., 1918-11-03

months hence. after a season here as
q bride.
Which Ia equally true Of Mrs. Edwin
Prescott Grosvenor, whose marriage
last Saturday TO Gilbert Grosvenor's
twin brother was a surprise, in fact
TWO or three surprises. 10 nearly every
one. One of the surprises lay In the
fact that comparatively few people in
Washington even knew that Gilbert
Grosyenor--whom II thought 1t knew
, pretty wel-had a twin brother An
other was the development of a re-
lationship between the Grosvenors
and former President Taft. which had
somehow been rather generally over
looked. And then, of course, the fact
OF a wedding-which had not been
very generally known and discussed
In advsnce-at Wildacres. the Gros-
venors' country home out toward
hockville-was a surprise. Naturally
the bride was a surprise. and a de-
lightful one. Washington is looking
forward to making her acquaintance
She was miss Thelma Cudlipp, OF
New York. a well-known illustrator
and an extremely clever and attrac-
tive woman. and washington is really
looking forward TO making her ac-
quaintance. The wedding was a very
quiet one. made notable by the fact
that former President Of the United
states gave the bride away. II seems
that Mr.. Taft is not only a cousin Of
the Grosvenors, but was rather close
ly associated with him in business. in
the law firm of which they were both
members. There were no attendants

The Gilbert Grosvenors, BY the way
| are staying out at Wildacres until
they are perfectly sure the influenza
is safely past. They have a family
OF young children-one very young
daughter who arrived only about six
weeks ago-who, they think. are bet
ter of in the country for the present
Mr.. Grosvenor's interests-he is di-
| rector and editor OF the National Geo
graphic Society-are of the scientific
leisurely sort that are not at all in
compatible with suburban residence.
! And as Mrs. Grosvenor's Parents
I Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell
are in Canada, and likely to stay
there all winter. there is nothing much
to bring her in town early.
The Alexander Graham Bells. think
| ing very patriotically that il would be
a shame TO keep their big Connecti-
cut avenue house closed while they
were away. and at a time when there
was such crying need for housing.
| have turned It into a sort OF an apart
| ment. That is. they have turned one
| floor over to a group of officers. A
| member of one OF the big war boards
has another floor. and Mai. and Mrs.
| Granville Fortescue and their family
| are occupying a third apartment"
| Mrs. Fortescue, you know. is a niece

| Their happening TO marry men OF the

! respective fields Of endeavor-the one
as a scientist and inventor. the other
as a banker; and their houses stand
