The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-05-08

II was Just about two years ago
In early June, I believe-that Miss
Catherine Hughes, daughter of the
Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes,
was married to Chauncey Lockha TT
Waddell, Of New York, the ceremony
taking place in picturesque Bethle-
hem Chapel, with a reception after
ward at the Pan American Build
ing. And until now that has been
the only wedding among the Cabinet
girls of this Administration. Cabi-
net sons have been married, it is
true, but interest is never quite so
keen in their activities as in their
sisters, especially here in Washing.
ton, because they are not SO def
initely identified with life in the
Capital.
AS a matter of fact the marriage
of Miss Wallace and DR.. Brugg-
mann is the third wedding in the
. Wallace family since Mr.. Wallace
was made Secretary of Agriculture
John Wallace having been mar
ried to Miss Margaret Powell, OF
<Sar Rapids, Ia, and James Wal
lace, Miss Virginia Phelps, of
Des MoineS: - The Oldest son Of Sec-
rotary and MrseA Wallace, Henry C..
Wallace, jr., ha5 zen married ten
years, his wife alsS 'aving been an
Iowa girl. lilo Brown nd Miss Ana
belle Wallace, the elA st daughter,
is the wife of AngTS, McLay, Of
Detroit, she, too, having been mai
ried some time before t. Wallaces
came to Washington.
Mrs. McLay is coming Oh for her
sisters wedding and is due to arrive
Saturday, but none of the Logs are
able to be present.
DIR. Bruggmann Is Man
Of Brilliant Attachments.
I must confess that the annouE c.
ment of the engagement Of MEis
Wallace and DR.. Bruggmann can
as a bit of a surprise to me, for
had not even heard rumors thereof.
DR.. Bruggmann, who was attached
to the legation here for a year or
two, Is rather quiet and retiring and
never seems to have had much of a
taste for society, but he is described
by friends in the diplomatic corps
as being unusually brilliant and
highly educated and he stands eX-
ceptionally well in his profession.
He was a close friend of DIR. HUI
brecht, until recently secretary Of
the Netherlands Legation, who is
also man of varied talents and
brilliant attainments. Indeed, the
two men have a great deal in COM
mon except that DIR. Hubrecht, with
all his learning, loves to play and
the more serious-minded DIR. Brugg-
80
waited his talent in that direction.
Miss Wallace, who Is Vassar
graduate, is clever and cultivated,
but she's good sport, too, fond Of
dancing and out-of-door activities.
Indeed she's an all.around attrac.
tive type, with an exceedingly
clever brain under her red hair, and
just the sort Of woman we should
have to represent us abroad. DIR.
Bruggmann and his bride will sail
shortly after the wedding, as he is
in the country on brief leave, and
will go to his Paris post.
There's another Cabinet wedding
In the offing, for on June Fl Robert
Work, son Of the Secretary of the
Interior and Mrs. Work, is to be
married to Miss Irma Weicher, of
Denver. The wedding will take
place in Denver and Mrs. Work is
going to be present, the Secretary
proposing to join her there if
his duties permit.
Ratio of Weddings Of Cabinet
Sons and Daughters to Continue.
The ratio OF the weddings Of
Cabinet sons and Cabinet daughters
is likely to continue through the
present Administration there is
q large group of boys coming Or
and since Secretary and Mrs.
Weeks and Secretary and Mrs.
Works daughters are married, Miss
Elizabeth Hughes is much too young
