 late Easter and the record break. ing snowstorm of April 1, naturally re- tarded spring gowns and millinery, but not even this combination could mar the beauty or dim the interest in the first real spring wedding of fashionable society, which took place last Saturday, (April 3 in Christ church, George town. with Miss Margaretta Wood and MT. John Howard Mott Potter as bride and bridegroom.
 i, Spring flowers adorned the chancel and altar just as they formed the large and picturesque bouquets of the bride attendants. The latter in spite of hay ing two matrons, was one of the most youthful as well as one of the prettiest groups ever assembled in the quaint old church, which was a fashionable place of worship many years ago. and like scores of old colonial homes of the same region. is again coming to favor with the present generation.
 Admiral and Mrs. Spencer S. Wood, always prominent in the naval circle in Washington and at Newport and Jamestown, have established their per manent home on N street within the immediate vicinity of Christ church, as well as in the heart of this oldest residential section of the District of Columbia.
 Here brilliant reception followed the ceremony, which took place at o'clock.
 The stately young bride wore an un- usual and very beautiful gown of in lace-like pattern of gold threads. A n hut nd ful of line. The model was the slim, straight silhouette of the day, with the court train of chiffon, the latter inter- lined with chiffon and edged in point lace held by clusters of dainty little orange blossoms.
 The veil was of point lace and the bridal bouquet of white lilacs.
 Miss Anne Wood. school girl sister of the bride, Miss Ethel Potter of New York. sister of the bridegroom Miss Natalie Hammond, Miss Catrina Forbes Beale. both of Washington Miss Eliza beth Robinson of Hartford, Conn, Mrs. Bernard Y. Rogers, Jr., of Chicago, and Mrs. Evan Fisher of San Francisco, all wore French organdie in palest yell low over slips of different colors; two pink; two blue; and two green. with the maids of honor with underslips of deep yellow. The gowns were made ex- actly alike with quaint close fitting bodiees, tapering at the normal waist line, where the full straight skirt was attached under several rows of e9- time shirrinR. They were without sash or girdle, but with insertions of lace, the same tone as the organdie let into the skirts from hem to hip. The necks were V shaped and the sleeves short and close.
 These fascination gowns strongly suggestive of 1880, were topped by graceful, modish hats of lace and tulla with spring blossome tied in ribbon to match the color of the silk underslip then allowed to fall in long streamers at the left side. All wore black satin slippers with hosiery of the pale vel. low tint and carried the aforementioned spring flowers; yellow, blue, pink and white blossoms with delicate green foli. age were used in all the bouquets.
 All street gowns are shorter and all evening gowns longer, with the metal brocades of light texture, but very choice quality more in demand than ever for dinner gowns. Mrs. Pierce Butler, wife of the associate justice of
  cent and very popular addition to the official circle from Minnesota. is wear ing smart gown of this material in blue and silver and Mrs. Robert Lans- ing one in white and silver, both models likely to remain in style right through the year Both follow the straight line from shoulder to instep with slight drapery and a rather long, full train The new square neckline is also fea- tured in these gowns.
 Mrs Lansing introduced a becoming color note in a large fan of cerice os- trich. Mir. and Mrs. Lansing are per manent residents of Washington and just as popular as when they played leading role in the last administra- tion.
 . At small tea. which she gave at her home last week in compliment to Mrs. John A. Thomas, her cousin, who was formerly Miss Dorothy Reed and who lately returned from China, where MT. Thomas has had extensive interests Mrs. Lansing's gown waS one of the triple-skirted model of brocade in silk and wool with dark rich coloring.
 Mrs Thomas wore a blistered crepe in silver gray, very chic in hue and color. This was laid in narrow plaits from shoulder to ankle, with square neck and long sleeves close from the elbow.
 Another attractive young matrOn from the Orient wearing a gown much the same model, but in dark blue, IS Mrs. Emmet Gudger, who has joined her father, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, for the summer. Mrs. Gud- ger at one of the recent luncheons to greet her homecoming topped this gown with a very smart little hat of straw in the latest taupe shade with cluster of cocque feathers of slightly lighter tone falling not over but from under the narrow brim to the shoulder This latest departure in trimming lehYef the outside of the hat unadorned.
