Of Barnett Jones, of Louis
vile, KY, the wedding TAX
ing place at the summer
home Of the Fitzhughs in

mile south in Eaton Center,
n. H., the marriage of Miss
Katherine Simonds, daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Simon-ds, to Lowell homp-
son was solemnized at noon
at the Eaton center Church.
Early Dates
Since both girls decided to
have their weddings so early in
September, that is reason enough
for having them at their sum-
mer homes. For If Washington
has never been deserted this
summer, it is on this day, when
even the less fortunate MEM
bers of society have left to take
q last-minute vacation before
the fall activities commence.
A reception was held imme.
diately after the marriage of Miss
Simonds and Mr.. Thompson at the
formers home, Blighty, at Snow
Vile, N. H. Miss Fitzhugh and
Mr.. Jones are being married at
o'clock In st. Peters Church, at
Coburg, with a reception after
ward at Northumberland Hall.
Same Year
Since their wedding days are the
same, it is rather interesting to
note that both brides made their
debuts the same winter in Wash
ington several seasons ago. Miss
Simonds made her bow at a charm
ing tea given at the home of her
parents in Georgetown during the
Christmas holidays, when she
could take a little time off from
her studies at Bryn Mawr.
MIR. Thompson is the son of
Charles Miner Thompson, and
makes his home in Cambridge,
Mass, where the young couple will
live after their return from we'd
ding trip. He is a graduate OF
Harvard University in the class
of 1925.
