Nancy lynne Talks of the Countess Pauline Pappenems
Marriage in London Today-Mrs. PennneU and
Mrs. Robins to Cite TiUo Teas

1rrEIL. the wedding in London today Is
w one interesting affair, don't you think
p,,,,ra panpenheim Is to be married to
Count Raben of Denmark and, OF course
you know who she Is: the daughter oi
Countess Pappenheim, the former mary
Wheeler, of this city, who is the daughter
of the late Mr.. Charles Wheeler ana MIS-
Wheeler, of Pembroke, Bryn Mawr' Inc
Countess Pappenheim Is the second daugn'
ter of Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Dick Elliot peing
the eldest of the five sisters. Pauline Is
the second daughter of the Pappenheim
marriage. She is exceedingly pretty ana
has had great deal of attention since her
debut. Several persons who are now III
London have written on here that Count
Raben is a most attractive man and that
il is quite an ideal match. L do nope
that it will prove to be happy one.
None of the family on this side OF the
water has gone over for the wedding, as
there was really not time enough to go
except in a rush from the day the date
was settled. Mrs. Wheeler is at present
down in the South visiting her daughter
Ethel, who is Mrs. Henry Norris. The
other daughters are Mrs. George Thayer
and Mrs. Philip wainman. Mrs. Wainman
and her children live in London and will
therefore be at the wedding today
NEVER in the old Academy days OF
IN Opera was such an actress to be seen
as Mary Garden. Others may have better
voices perhaps, but they can't come. up to
the acting and Mary certainly was in good
voice, too.
The boxes had many fashionable folk,
and others were scattered throughout the
audience. Mr.. Andrew Wheeler had a box
OF guests, including Mr.. and Mrs Henry
Boyer and Mrs. Harold T.. Yarnall Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Grove entertained Briga-
dier General Waller and Mrs. Waller Mr..
Charlton .Yarnall and Mrs. Arthur Emlen
Newbold Jr., were there, and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Newbod Mr.. and Mrs. Sydney e.
Hutchinson, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Ridg-
way Mr.. John Frederick Lewis, Mr.. and
Mrs Howard Lewis, Mrs. Edward O'Reilly,
of Pittsburgh, and Rear Admiral Helm.
u S. n. Mrs. Arthur Newbold, Jr., was
wearing a remarkable frock Of black geor-
gette crepe embroidered in jet. The long
sleeves swept the floor at even length
with her train. The gown was made with
the straight squared shoulder back. Mrs.
Boyer's gown Of very dull brickred geor-
gette and satin was extremely effective.
FNHE announcement that Mrs. Joseph
l. Pennell and Mrs. Ned Robins, who Is
her sisterin-law, would give two informal
teas at 416 South Carlisle street on March
Is and 22 reminds me pleasantly that Mrs.
Pennell is still with US.
She and Mr.. Pennell lived for so many
years In London, where they were very
much in things literary and artistic, 1
had thought that perhaps the end Of the
war would see them starting Englandwards
once more.
But after all, they are not going, and
it is but natural that they should stay OH
here, for Mr.. Pennell is a member of an
old Pennsylvania Quaker family and Mrs
Pennell is daughter of the late Mr.
Edward Robins. distinguished lawyer Of
this city, and a granddaughter of the late
Thomas Robins, one-time president of the
Philadelphia National Bank. Her brother,
Ned Robins is one Of the officers Of the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania and has
written quite a bit on historical and
spent the greater part of her childhood in
this city and was a pupil of the Sacred
Heart Convent. at Eden Hall, at the same
time as Miss Agnes Repplier and Mrs.
Joseph Fraley. Many of the older gen.
Grafton will remember when the Robins's
lived at 1110 Spruce street, from which
house Mrs. Pennell was married. She
writes very Interestingly of that old home
in her book, Our Philadelphia" No cards
have been sent out for the two teas, which
will be given at the Robins homo on Car
Isle street.
r TOLD you that Lillian Russell would
l. speak this afternoon at the Independ-
ence Square Auxiliary of the Red Cross,
but did not tell you that her talk would
be preceded by an address on the Battle
of the Somme and conditions now in Eu-
rope, to be given by Lieutenant Andre
LHuillier. of the French army, who has
been sent here from France by the High
Commission and who is the guest OF Mr..
Clement Buckley Newbold. at 1924 Spruce
street. You see. did not know 1t before.
SO how could ! tell you?
Lieutenant L'Huillier was in most OF the
battles Of the war and has received five
decorations and is a member Of the Legion
of Honor. He has a most interesting story
to tell and will be at the auxiliary at 4
o'clock. Miss Russell will go down a lit
tie later in the afternoon to talk to the
workers.
VITINIFRED CLARK is going to be mar
w ried today down in Palm Beach to

ing the winter in the South.
A number Of the girls from here are to
