! Could there have been three more
entirely different weddings than the
three which have engaged the attcn-
ton of the smart set this last week
! Anne Hopkins on Tuesday. Margaret
! Fahncstocks on Wednesday, and
| Frances MOOrc's on Saturday? The
arrangements for the first were as
! simple as it was possible for those OF
j a big church wedding to be; and there
were flashes of originality and indi-
/ vsduality which are rarely accom-
! Iiishcd in pIar ming anything so formal
= in its beauty as a conventional Church
! of England wedding. The bridal party
WAS oharminS in its dainty %irlish
: CIsandy frOckS. The music was un-
usual and thrilling. and so wonderful
, ly appropriate to the circumstances of
! both nations involved in international
! match. The masculine contingent,
| from Capt. Hope. the tall British
aviator. who was taking fair young
| American bride, down were men who
! had seen service, who had looked
death in the face and stared him out
! of COuntenance. There was about
! them sense of reserve and strength
that was very comforting.
Margaret Fahnestock's plans were so
| different. Her costume was pic
! turesque in the extreme. and 1t suited
her wonderfully. But there was an
, elaboration, an Opulence about every
/ detail that was quite lacking in the
| ceremony of the day before. Sylvanus
| Stokes. in his blue seaman's suit, with
! its wide sailor trousers and its rolling
collar, looked such a boy! only a little
! older than those Junior reserve young
/ &terS who made an arch of tall Easter
! lilies for the newly-weds as they
came down tho walk from the chapel
| through the budding trees after the
| ceremony. 1t was pretty idea that,
| borrowed of course from the arcn of
officers swords under which so many
wartime brides have marched down
! from the altar. And the house was
fairly smOthered in flowers, big as it
was. There seemed to be so much of
. cvCrythnG-the big house party, the
+ elaborate buffet supper. the bride
table. the dancing. the dinners. lunch
cons, and theater parties for the out
of-tOwn guests. 1t was hospitality

tired lady when it was all over.
Fraices Moore was the third of the
aforementioned important" Easter
brides. She was married to Lieut..

church to the doors. Aside from the
| i2et that it was likely to be about the
"smartest" wedding of the season
Washington has always had a tender
place in Its heart for Frances Moore
for her fathers sake-and in pity
for his death. He went down on the
Titanic, you know. helping the
