YORKER.
The marriage of Mrs. May Brown
Dietrich. daughter of the late for
mer Gov. Frank Brown, to Merwin
Lee, of New York, took place last
week in Baltimore. Owing to the

Baltimore Methodist Protestant
Church, performed the ceremony.
The bride, who is in mourning. wore
a black going-away gown, with a
corsage of orchids. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee left Immediately after the cere-
mony for a journey and on their re-
turn will spend the greater part of
their time in Baltimore. The we'd
ding came as a surprise to the many
friends of the couple, for while
many. knew of the engagement, IL
was not known that the wedding
would take place so soon. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Lee are fond of out-of-
door sports, and IT Is said that their
mutual enthusiasm for golf and ten
mis- Is what started the romance that
eliminated in the marriage yester-
day.
Miss Lee. as May Brown, was one
of the bellies in Baltimore and while
she has been living In New York
for a number of years, she still has
many friends here. She was sole
heir to her fathers estate, and 1t is
these interests that will keep her
here. though she will spend part of
her time in New York. where she
has an apartment at 105 East Fifty
third street. They will spend their
honeymoon at Hot Springs.
