MISS ROBINSON BRIDE
OFF HUNT BENOIST i'm
BRILLIANT WEDDING
Many Friends Visiting
At Resort Witness
Ceremony.

ID RETTY MISS KATHERINE
i ROBINSON is now Mrs. Hunt
Benoist. The wedding took place
yesterday afternoon at jamestown
Ito the regret of a great many or
US who had hoped to see Miss
Robinson married--but the pic
turesque little Rhode Island resort
ls such hot bed OF Washington
isns this season that the bride was
able to gather a goodly group or
her old friends about her. Ana
after all II was natural enough
that she should elect to be married
at Jamestown, for she and her
mother. Mrg. John Marshall Robin
son, and the bridegroom's family,
the Theodore Benoists, of st. Louis,
have all been identified with the
summer colony there for years.
In fact, / shouldn't be surprised
II II was at Jamestown that the
two young people first met, al
though their acquaintance ripened
into romance last autumn when
Miss Robinson went out to st.
Louis to be bridesmaid mt the mar
riageof Mr.. Benoist's sister, Miss
Miriam Benoist. and Comdr. Pat"
Bellinger, U. 8. N.
The wedding yesterday was sim.
Pile, with only small group or
relatives and old friends present;
and owing to a difference in faith;
the ceremony took place at the
rectory of st. Marks Catholic
Church. 1t was at 4:30 o'clock
and was followed by a reception at
the jamestown Casino.
Here was profuse decoration
of the white hydrangeas. for which
the island Is famous, with phlox
and larkspur adding a delicate note.
The bride, who is very fair, wore
a gown of white chiffon with the
top of old family lace, which form
ed the loose flowing sleeves as well
as the front of the bodice which
had the Italian neck-line.
A short veil of lace supplemented
the regulation tulle veil which fell
to the edge of the train. small
clusters of orange blossoms hold
ing the tulle and chiffon together.
A corsage ornament of diamonds,
a bow with long narrow ends held
the lace at the neck, with clusters
of orange blossoms at each side
holding the lace veil.
The bridal bouquet was of lilies
Of the valley in shower form.
MISS EvELINA GLEAVES was
lVA the brides only attendant and
thew must have presented e piquant
contrast, for this daughter of Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Albert Gleaves
Is as dark--at least as to eyes and
hair, although her skin is fair
as the bride is blonde. She wore
a modish gown Of yellow organdie,
with a smart picture hat to match
and carried larkspur and white
blossoms. Blaine Mallon, of Wash
ington, was best man.
The navy turned out in force for
the wedding. Rear Admiral Reginald
Nicholson. who was best man for the
brides father. the late Commodore
John Marshall Robinson, was
among those present." and SO were
a lot of other retired naval officers.
Miss Alice Shepard, Miss Elenor
Johnston and Philip Pratt were
among the Neutrality-suspicious. in the
company. Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Benoist were members of a family
party, which further included the
bridegroom's brother-in-law and sis
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. James Slee. jr., of
Cedarhurst, Long Island; Mr.. and
Mrs Howard Benoist, Mrs. Farris.
Charles Farris and Mrs. Carlton, of
st. Louis; Mrs. Bland Williams, of
Norfolk, and the brides godmother,
Mrs. Sidney Carpenter. of Philadel-
phia. I had rather expected that
the Bellingers would go up from
Washington for the wedding, but
from all accounts II does not appear
that they did.
1t was with Mrs. Carpenter, by
the way. that Miss Robinson and her
,,,ntnstnD "a,
weeks this summer. And 1t was she
who presented the bride with the
lonely pin which she wore on her
bodice. Mr.. Benoist's gift was a dia-
mond wrist watch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benoist left James
town by motor, the latter wearing a
chic sports suit of French blue home
spun, with a small hat to match. Fol-
lowing their honeymoon travels,
which will include a short stay in
Washington. they will go on to
Greensboro. N. c., where the bride
groom has business interests. They
will pass the winter at the o. Henry
hotel.
Lots Of parties were given for
Miss Robinson before her wedding,
among the most notable being the
dinner for which Commander
SnaTles IneOOOTe JeWeH, OI Wdsn-
ington, was host. Commander Eberle
