Bethlehem Chapel is a lovely place for

in fashionable esteem, especially for
spring and fall weddings when the
grounds of the Cathedral Close are so
lovely and offer such opportunities for
bridal pageantry If ones taste happens
to run that way.
AS for the reception at the Pan
American. l can only recall one we'd
ing reception there-that of the late
Representative Henry d. Flood of Vir-
ginia and his bride, who was Miss Anna
Portner - about ten years ago. Mr..
Flood, as head Of the Foreign Affairs
Committee of the House, had the priv
ilege of using the Pan-American Build
ing when he wanted to give parties. The
Secretary OF State has the same priv
ileRe, and has frequently availed him
| self OF 1t when he wants to entertain
officially. But this Is the first time
that he has used 1t for what might be
regarded as private" party. I don't
recall that any of the Latin American
diplomats has ever used the building
for wedding. but 1T has more than
once been used for -uebuts and dances.
| Certainly 1t will be an ideal place for
Catherine Hughes's wedding reception.
