tials; Miss Hopkins
Wedding.

MO tale Of the activities of last
week Is complete without a
mention Of. the marriage OF Miss
Antionette Wood Emo Graves,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. William
Leon Graves, and Major Robert
Charles Frederick Goetz, U. 8. A..
for relatives OF the bride from half
a dozen cities assembled to do her
honor. Only relatives and a few
intimate friends attended the cere.
mony at the home OF Miss Graves
aunt, Mrs. Charles 'Boughton
Wood. but her uncle. William
Phelps Emo. gave a big reception
for her afterward, at which Wash.
ington society was represented at
its best.
Miss Graves connections. the
Woods and the Enos and the Pin.
chots, are as well and favorab!y
known in New York and In Con.
necticut, where many OF them
have summer homes. as they are
in Washington; and her parents
have lived for many years in Paris.
Major Goetz, moreover, halls from
Missouri. has been stationed at
West Point. and is at present head
OF the military department at Har.
ward University. so the wedding
was an event OF interest in mary
places. Major Goetz must be back
at his post before the Harvard
commencement on June 30, AMI Il
Is at Cambridge that he and his
bride will make their home for the
present.
An engaging couple they are.
these two young people. had my
first glimpse of Major Goetz out
at the horse show one day and
found him tall. broad-sho uIdered
and the possessor Of a frank and
winning countenance and an ador.
able smile. As for the new Mrs.
Goetz. she's lovely. tall and fair;
and she made a radiant bride.
IN sharp contrast to this brilliant
wedding was the marriage on
Thursday OF Miss Helen Hill Hop
kins. daughter of Mrs. Randolph
d. Hopkins. and Victor Ivan Ze.
low. OF Philadelphia Poor little
girl, her wedding was saddened
by the death OF her tather within
the last few weeks and consequent.
ly the ceremony in All Souls Me.
mortal Church was very, very Sim
pie. There were no Attendants and
only the immediate members of
the two families were expected.
But the brides troop OF Girl
Scouts turned out. most OF them in
uniform. a few old friendE, who
had learned Of the approaching
ceremony. slipped in and before
one knew It, the lite church was
half filled.
Altogether II was the sweetest
sort Of a wedding. although shad.
owed by a recent sorrow: and one
could see that the bride was touch
ed at having so many OF her
friends assembled to wish her
Godspeed. After a brief wedding
trip, Mr.. Zelov will start for Cali
fornia on an important business
trip. leaving his bride in Washing
ton with her mother. She is re-
covering slowly from injuries re-
ceived in the Knicker booker dis
aster, aud is not yet able TO take
the long hard trip to the Pacific
coast. The young couple expect to
live in Philadelphia.
In recognition Of he. fortitude
and courage during the Knicker-
booker tragedy and the assistance
which she rendered TO others, al
though herself seriously injured,
Mrs Zelov, who is a Girl Scout
captain, has been awarded the
medal Of honor Of the National So
ciety Of Girl Scouts OF America.
and this will be presented to her
on May 26. by Mrs. H srbert Hoov.
