They do things up brown in
the Treasury Building-even
weddings. Some weeks ago,
Miss Marian Wells, of the ap,
pointment office, went to An
napolis to see a stalwart young
middle become a dignified en-
sign simply by throwing away
his cap. A newspaper camera
man with no regard for pro-
prieties snapped them, locked in
each others arms. They no.
ticed him, and, nothing
daunted, kissed again for a bet
ter picture. The photo was pub
hshed in Washington papers,
some fellow-employe clipped it
and pasted it on a sheet of card
board, and waggishly stamped
the picture with the official
Treasury "DiSapproved" stamp,
passing it around for signatures
of the Treasury dignitaries.
Then it was given to Miss Wells
as a souvenir.
The bride is the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene w. Wells,
of Chevy Chase, Md.
