Weddings of Week
Monopolize
Interest
BY JEAN ELIOT.

" HERE'LL be a bumper crop
of spring weddings, after all,
- even though q bit belated-
like the spring itself.
This week. for example, no less
than four marriages will be
solemnized in which society is
generally and genuinely interest
ed. And the first, the marriage
of Miss Kathleen Kelly to Fred
erick A. M. Tabor, which viii
take place tomorrow at noon, is
one of a trio of weddings in the
Diplomatic Corps-a most un-
usual number for q single sea-
son.
Miss Kelly, an accomplished
Irish girl, is the sister Of Mrs.
John Joyce Broderick, wife of the
commercial counselor Of the British
Embassy. The two other 'diplo-
matte brides are Miss Wal Ling
SEE, niece of DIR. SEE, the Chi.
nese minister, who is to be mar
rled to Shun Ii Tsai, Of the Chi
nese Educational Mission, on Sat
nrday, and Mile. Lucienne Nano,
sister of Frederic Nano, counselor
OF the Rumanian legation, whose
marriage to Don Juan de CarSle-
mas, counselor Of the Spanish en-
bassS, is set for June q.
s.
THHE original intention Of Miss
Kelly and Mr.. Tabor was to
be married at the home OF her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Kelly, Of Blackjack, Dublin. Ire.
land, in the summer: but be-
cause of the serious illness Of
her father it was decided that the
wedding should be sOlemnized i'm
medlately and very simply In
washington. The ceremony will
take place at noon tomorrow at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick, with only members of
the two families, the British am
bassador, Sir Auckland Geddes,
and members of the British en-
bassy staff as guests. An in
formal breakfast will follow.
Mrs. Broderick will be matro7
of honor for her sister and little
Miss Shiela Broderick will be the
only other attendant. The Rev.
Father Edwin Ryan, of the Cath.
olic University, will officiate.
Mr.. Tabor's father, Francis A.
M. Tabor, has come from New
York to attend the wedding.
Mr.. Tabor and his bride expect
to go abroad on their honeymoon,
sailing on Saturday, May 28, and
will visit her parents in Dublin. Z
Mr.. Tabor is principal of the
Aiken Preparatory School at
Aiken, s. c., and has charm
ing house near the school in
which he and his bride will make
their home during the school
term, going to England in sum-
mer.
Miss Kelly is a Bryn Mawr
graduate and has spent most of
the last several years in this
country, visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Broderick in Washington during
her vacations. She was in Aiken
most of last winter. She has
many friends in Philadelphia and
Aiken, and a group OF them ex-
pect to go to New York to see
her off since the privacy Of the
wedding prevents their being
present. 80
A LTHoUGH the wedding of
Miss Wal Ling SEE and Mr..
Tsai is taking place at the
Chinese legation it is to be an
entirely unofficial event and
the guests assembled will be
limited to friends of the bride
and bridegroom. Miss SIZE spent
several years in Washington, be-
ing connected with the educa-
tional mission, but has only re-
Gently returned from a visit at
her home nj China. She came
back with the Minister and Nine.
SEE at the close of their six
months vacation in China.
TT1he two other important we'd
dings of this week are also
set for Saturday. day which
used to be regarded as ''impos-
sible," but which is becoming in
creasingly popular in an age
which is nracfioal rather than
