Out-of-Town Brides
of Interest In
+ Capital
BY JEAN ELIOT.

" HERE have been a number
of out of town weddings
- this year that have been of
more than usual interest to
Washington, and it would seem
that there is no end to them.
Miss Ruth Ralston, daughter of
: the newly elected Senator from
Indiana and Mrs. Samuel j.
Ralston, is being married to Will
: liam Stuart LaRue, of Tulock,
y Cal, today. The wedding is TAX
. ing. place in Indianapolis, and AL
though the young couple will live
) on the Pacific coast, it is more
than likely that they will be
frequent guests in the Senatorial
household here.
Another out of town bride or
: today is Miss Ruth Miller White
5 man, daughter of Mr.. and MRS.
Jesse Whiteman of Indiana, Pa,
whose marriage to Lieut.. Rob-
ert Gibbons Gard, U. s. A, is
taking place this afternoon at the
: home of her parents. Lieut..
Gard, who is in the field artlliery.
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
8. Gard of Chevy Chase, Nd. and
&c is hoped that he will t~1ng
his bride for a brief visit here
before they sail for his new post
in the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr.. and Mrs ". C. Montgomery
of Junction City, Kans., some
time ago announced the engage
ment of their daughter, Marion,
to Daniel Redd Anthony 3D., son
of Congressman and Mrs. Dan
Anthony of Kansas. The wed
ding date was tentatively set for
, the end Of this month, so we shall
probably see something Of the
Younger as well as the older
Anthonys in the Capital this
winter.
CPEAKING of out-of-town we'd
~ dings and brides, it was not so
very long ago that Miss Estelle
Murray Crane, the charming
daughter of Mrs. J. Burnet Crane,
who was a Cathedral school girl,
was married in England to Fergus
Gibson McGregor, one-time attache
at the British embassy here. Then
just the latter part of June
Washington was most interested
in the wedding at Hot Springs of
Miss Mary McKenna Gallery,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson
Gallery, of Pittsburgh. when she
, became the bride Of Frederic r.
Coudert, of New York. 1t will be
/. remembered that during the war
Mr.. Coudert's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederic Coudert, were living
in Washington, and the re-
cent bridegroom has close affilia-
tons with the Capital, being the
great-grandson of the late Ben
tamin Tracy, who was Secretary
of the Navy under former Presi-
dent BENJAMIN Harrison.
Another winsome out-of-town
bride of recent date was Miss
Mary Elliott, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dexter Elliott. 'ofyThompsons
vile, Conn, who was married on.
June q, to Charles Van Brunt
Cuhman, son of DIR. Allerton
Cushman. Then, William Gibson
Carey, of Baltimore, the grandson
of Mrs. Charles Baltimore Calvert,
of MacAlpine, Nd. and Washing
ton, took unto himself bride in
, the person of Miss Eleanor
Towne, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
! John H. Towne, of New York.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carey are making
their home at Chestnut Hill, Pa,
but it is hoped that both Balti.
more and Washington will get oc-
casional glimpses of them.
WHEN Miss Ellen Bruce Lee.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Lee, of Elkin's Point, w.
Va, was married the latter part
Of June to Stoddard Pintard john
ston, of New York, Washington
did more than take an unusual
. amount of interest in it, in fact,
the Capital sent most of its
younger representative people to
take part in it. Although the
Johnton intend to make their
home in New York, Washington
! does not feel as if she loses sight
OF the former Miss Lee, as both
she and her husband will probably
be frequent visitors here, both of
them having a host of friends in
the younger set.
The engagement and the subse.
