endless conventions bring even
others. Washington continues to
grow as a convention city. There
were lots of brides already here.
| too: scarcely a day went by last
week that there was not at least
one wedding in society. Brides,
bridges and benefits all filled a big
corner of the social stage last
week; they weren't entirely crowd
ed OF by the conferences.
