MANY GUESTS FROM DETROIT
WE'RE IN d. C. DURING WAR
Many of the Detroit guests At the
wedding were people who resided in
Washington during the period Of the
war: for example Col. and Mrs.
Charles Warren. who occupied the
Aeshire house in street for q
year or more--the Merle-Smiths have
il now. Also the Steuart Pittmans,
who had FIRST the William Payne
Meredith house and then the Charles

DR.. and Mrs. Preston Satterwhite.
Who are relatives of Preston Glib

ters. White. Ynez and Ruth. who
were very popular. One Of them
was married Just before the Bucks
left Washington. I recall; married
an army officer. but I can't call his
