Illuminated Degree
Work of Art.

The degree presented to the Queen
was a genuine work OF art, a long
parchment scroll beautifully illumi-
mated in rich reds. blues and gold by
one of the sisters, who has kept the
half forgotten art alive and to whom
the work OF preparing the document
was a genuine labor of love.
Queen Elizabeth remained almost
an hour at the college and seemed not
only to be deeply interested but to
be thoroughly enjoying herself. More
over, yesterday she conveyed through
Mrs. Francis Burrell Hoffman, who
has heen serving as her American sec
retary-a sort of unofficial secretary
to the Mother Superior, Sister Cath
crime Aloysius, an expression OF the
great pleasure her afternoon az
Trinity had given her. She made it
known further that she and King
Albert would always have the interest
of the institution at heart, and that
they would do anything in their
power TO assist the noble work which
the Belgian ladies of Notre Dame de
Namur are doing in this country.
1t is Mrs. Hoffman's son, Col. w
w. Hoffman, by the way, who is
military attache at the American EN-
bassy in Brussels and who was at
tached to the staff OF King Albert
during his visit in America. Anoth-
er son, Albert Lincoln Hoffman, mar
ried pretty Leta Sullivan, whose
tragic death after the arrival of her
firstborn son came as such shock
to society. They always figure as
New Workers, but they have WASH :
ington connections, for the boys are
grandsons Of the late Mrs. Wyckham
Hoffman. who made her home here
much OF the time when she was not
abroad.

A Cabinet
Wedding Yesterday.

Their majesties even denoted that
very important parsonage, a Cabinet
bride, from the head of the column
to the end thereof. However, the
bride-Mary Archer Glass, the lovely
young daughter of the Secretary Of
the Treasury and Mrs. Carter Glass
had things all her own way yester-
day. Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by
Miss Edith Benham, attended her
marriage to John Guerrant Boat
wright, son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. l..
Boatwright, of Danville, Va, which
took place in the Church OF the Cove
nant; and the Presidents wife bore the
regrets of the President that he, too,
was not able to be present. Despite
the rainy afternoon all of the Cabi-
net members who are in town, to-
gether with most of the diplomats,
whole grist of prominent officials
and liberal sprinkling of common
or garden society folk turned out
for the brilliant reception which fol-
lowed the ceremony.
Secretary and Mrs Glass enter
tanned house party, for the week
preceding the wedding and a'most
every day there was some sort Of n
party-usually an informal sort OF a
gathering for the popular bride and
her bevy of pretty bridesmaids.
Another Interesting event" of the
week just past was the celebration On
Friday at the Japanese embassy Of
the birthday of the Emperor-his Of
hclal birthday, obligingly set at
chrysanthemtIm time, although the
present Son of Heaven was actually
born in midsummer. I believe. This
year 1t took the form of a luncheon
with the charge d'affaires, Katsuji
Debuchi, as host: and among his
guests, numbering close to $50, were
