It is rather disappointing that this
wedding. in which Washington is SO
much interested, should take place
out of Washington, but Miss DeIano
has decided that she will be married
during the summer at stockbridge
where her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederic A. Delano, have taken a
house for the season. Presumably
she'll have some Washington girls in
her bridal party and a good many
