family.
Mary Archer Glass is the member of
Secretary Glass's family who, next to
her father. is known best to Washing

long service in Congress before he en-
tered the Cabinet his family remained
at his home in Lynchburg, Mrs. Glass
and Miss Augusta coming to Wash
tngton sometimes for special occasions,
rarely staying for more than week
or two at a time. Mr. Glass himself
lived at the Raleigh. But Mary Archer
Glass attended the Gunston Hall
School and met many girls and boys
who are now shining lights of Wash
tngton's younger set. She passed much
time with her father, meeting to some
extent his Washington associates Her
two brothers, married and with young
families of their own. were naturally
not here often.

Emmie Norvell Wills of Lynchburg

Spencer of Danville, and the ushers
are to be Joseph Walton of Roanoke
and Decatur Holcombe, Ben Temple
and Albert Patten Of Danville. 1t GER
tainly will be an "all Virginia" we'd
ding party. Even down to the small
est member of it-and that's the
brides small nephew, Powell Glass,
who will be her little page-they, with
the sole exception of Miss Marshall,
are from the neighborhood of Lynch
burg where the Glasses were bon m
raised
John Guerrant Boatwright is not
known in Washington. He is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Boatwright of
Danville, and is in the tobacco bust
ness there. He is. of course, lust out
of the service" and also Just back

entity he is resuming his tobacco bust

their home in Danville.

was announced last August, will be
married next Saturday. The ceremony
will be performed in Bethlehem Chapel
of the Episcopal Church of st. Pc
ter and st. Paul in Cleveland Park,
while the reception will be in the

Because the men in the wedding
party are all to be of the United States
Aviation Service, the masculine end
of the party is not quite certain as
yet. But Elizabeth is to have her sis
ter Dorothy as her maid of honor,
and her four bridesmaids will be Capt.
wright's sister. Miss Alene Wright of
Louisville, Ky; Miss Majorie Stebbns

long in Congress that he and his fam
