Sternberg, Elizabeth Evans and Mrs.
Walker Gibson White, held the rib
bons which formed the aisle. They
were a rainbow group in crisp organ
dies of dainty colors.
The engagement was only an
nounced a week ago and the wedding
was hurried TO take advantage of
Capt. Bingham's furlough. He is jukt
back from overseas duty, and the
ceremony was performed in the home
OF the brides parents by the Rev. DIR.
John Van Schaick, also just back
from the other side. After a buffet
luncheon the young couple went off
for short wedding trip-for they are
to be back in time to see tho brides
younger sister graduate from school
next Tuesday and to take part in
Ruth Littells wedding the following
day, when she will be married to Com
mander William c. Owens Among
out of town guests We're the brides
grandmother and great-aunt, Mrs.
Emily Kutz, and Miss Briner of Read
ing. Pa Lieut.. and Mrs. Walker
White OF Philadelphia and Lieut..
Cooper Barnes, U. S. A
Dinners Dodge Secretary Baker.
Fowler planned a dinner at Dover
House in honor of the Bakers But
Mrs. Baker was the sole honor guest,
She and Miss Lowe went and, of
course, had delightful time. Dover
House, down near Upper Marlborough,
in part OF Maryland that has
scarcely moved in its sleep since the
Revolution, and certainty hasn't
turned over since the civil war, is a
most picturesque old place with all
sorts OF historic associations. Its gar
den was laid out by rEnfant. and is
quite modern as compared with the |
house, which was built by the first |
Lord Baltimore, and is said to be the |
Oldest building in America that is still !
occupied. OF course it's haunted, and |
take 1t all in all it's one Of the most |
interesting places to have dinner any
where around Washington.
This is the third or fourth time that |
Major Fowler has tried to give a din
ner in honor of Secretary and Mrs. |
Baker. and has been obliged to con-
tent himself with giving II for Mrs. |
perseverance with which he keeps on |
trying.
There were several other weddings |
locally interesting. Margaret Muncas-
ters, for instance. also on Wednesday. |
She was married to John Anderson |
McKeagh of Montrose, Pa: and on |
Monday Elizabeth Crenshaw was mar |
ried to Joseph V. Morgan. At least a |
dozen others interesting to Washing |
ton, but OF little outside interest, took |
place. Also there have been two or |
three engagements announced within |
the last week in which interest Is |
rather more general.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry d. Flood an
nounced last Saturday the engagement |
OF their sister, Miss Hildegarde Port |
per, to Lieut. Palmer Derby, u. s. A, |
OF Virginia. They're all OF Virginia. |
Mr. Flood has represented his district !
in Virginia for years. enough years for |
him to have headed the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee in the last Congress, |
a position that naturally brought him |
into considerable prominence. They |
have country home at Appomattox,
and there was a theory that the we'd |
ding would take place there. But al |
though the Floods are established |
there for the summer the wedding is
to take place in Washington
And Jean Ohls engagement to David |
Frank Webster of New York. While |
II might look like an all New York an
nouncement It is a matter OF keen in
terest to Washington, for Mr.. and Mrs.
Josiah Kingsley Oil have been living
in Washington for two or three years
and have only recently given up their
Washington home and gone to New
York. And there was not a more popu-
lar girl in Washington society while
she was here than Jean Oil. She was
up to her eyes in all sorts of war work,
but she managed to go around consid-
erably in social way as well. She
had the interesting experience of being II
and secretary to Gen. Joffre /
and the French Mission when they
were here, and later served the Belgian Il
Minister. For her services at the Bel
gian Legation Miss Oil was decorated
by the Duchess of Vendome. Mr.. Web
ster is not known in Washington.
