4 hOh 49,
| morning at 10 o'clock at st. Marga-
ret's, the Rev. Herbert Scott SmSth.
rector Of the church officiating. 1t
was an unearthly hour to have we'd
ding-especially when you realize
that 10 by the clock is only by the
sun. But society didn't have to set
its alarm clock for that-because, once
more society wasn't invited. The
I company was confined to members of
| the two families. owing to the recent
death of the brides brother-you re-
member he died early in March just
about as his father-and Mai. Swing.
too. by the way-were landing from
! the other side. as the result of an
aeroplane accident in Texas-and TO
the prevailing war conditions. And
so even her girl friends did not see
''Bootsie" March married. though
some of Maj. Swings relatives from
! Newark came down TO welcome their
kinsman's little bride into the family.
And there are two next Saturday
in which Washington is equally in
terested-that of pretty Amy Bennett
and her French soldier, Lieut.. Claude
Langlais-and that of Margaret Nc
| Chord and her American soldier
Lieut.. George Leroy Boyle. Miss Ben
nett has elected to be married at
home. The ceremony Is to be at
noon, and the wedding is to be as
simple as possible. with no attend
ants and only a few intimate friends
present. The reason given seems to
be the impossibility of Lieut.. Lang
lais' family coming over for the oc-
casion. and the fact that they are in
deep mourning-a brother having been
lin - l. ,oN orA
For the present Lieut.. Langlais is to
stay on in America, much to the de-
light of Miss Benefits friends. To-
day Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Bennett are
having an informal reception for their
! idaughter-about the only festivity
they are having in connection with
her wedding. They propose to vacate
| their Nineteenth street residence
turn 1t over to the young people for
the summer, which Mrs. Bennett will
, spend in Maine. and Mr.. Bennett at
| the Army and Navy Club. In the fall
| Lieut. Langlais and his bride will
| take an apartment.
Margaret McChord's wedding is tc
| be real sure enough June wedding
at st. Johns in the afternoon of the
\ same day-with bridesmaids and ush-
ers and everything complete. But
| you can't get Margaret to tell you
| who they are going to be. She says
| she doesn't know. that bridesmaids
and usheTs are harder to come by
nowadays than brides and bride
grooms. She seems to be in the same
/ position as Marie Peary when she
was married during the winter. When
| asked about her bridal party she said.
/ II don't know who the ushers are to
I be-and / don't expect to know till 1
see them at church." Orders are alb
: solutely without feeling. and they
| have broken UP more perfectly good
] wedding parties this past year than
you would dream possible.
! On the same day there is to be
! Elsie Caider's wedding to Lieut.. Rob-
! ert Corwin Lee. L. s. N, in Brooklyn.
! to which. of course. the Senator and
quite a party of close family friends
will go. Mrs. Calder and Elsie went
/ home two weeks ago to prepare for
| the event And there is Sophie
, Bispham's wedding in Philadelphia
| yesterday. in which Washington is
very generally interested. since the
bride is a granddaughter of the late
| Rear Admiral and Mrs. Siias Casey
/ and has been a frequent visitor here
| from childhood. 1t took place at ST.
| Philips Church. i'm West Philadelphia
| and the brides father. the Rev. Clar-
! ence Bispham, who was for fifteer
years its rector. came up from New
| Orleans where his present charge rs
| to perform the ceremony, and stay a
while for a little visit among his old
| parishioners.
Finally Halle Elkins. whose en-
| gagement to Lieut. George VI. Percy
| L. :. NJ. c., was announced only q
| few weeks ago. coupled with state
ment that the wedding would not be
| for long time yet. is to be married
a week later. on June ?. And that is
to be a sure enough befo' the wal
