Coming From California
Mr.. and Mrs. Let's, who are
still in California, where they
spend every winter, are ex-
pected back any day now, and
their daughters are eager to
greet them, for they have not
seen them since January, when
they went to Pasadena for the
golden wedding celebration
which Mr.. and Mrs. Let's gave
and which took the form of a
family reunion, with a gala din
ner, at which all the appoint
ments we're carried out in gold
and over a hundred guests were
present.
The daughters of the house
hold have inherited their charm
and graciousnesS alike from
their father and mother, both
of whom are literary, artistic,
and great lovers of the out-of-
doors. Mrs. Let's has book
of exquisitely written poems to
her credit, and Mr.. Let's inter
ests cover a wide range which
includes farming. He is the
owner of "Arylawn," the model
farm at Bethesda, which is IA
NOUS for it's blooded Jersey cat
tie and other fine stock. This
love of farming extends to his
daughter, Mrs. Jones, and she
has every detail Of "ArylaWn"
at her fingertipS.
She has brought several
branches of it to such perfec-
ton, that even the casual visi-
tor cannot go over it without
being amazed at the methods
and equipment to be found
there. Mrs. Jones is also one
of the few women in America
who makes the rounds Of the
cattle shows-taking the finest
pedigreed stock from "Arylawn"
to compete against the best in
the land, and it is with genu-
inc pleasure she shows you the
blue ribbons they have won.
Altogether, it is a delightful
household. Mr.. and Mrs. Guth-
rie are known far and wide for
their interest in civic matters,
and they take an active part in
society. Mrs. Guthrie is on the
board of a great many charitable
organizations here as well. She
is exceedingly pretty, with gray
hair which she wears very be-
comingly arranged, and her
coloring is very lovely. Mrs.
Jones is a brunette, with beau
tiful dark eyes and a rosy COM
plexion. She has lots of per-
sonaity and a delicious sense
Of humor.

have dinner after the ceremony

Our families have never met,

400 miles from here. Undoubt-

our wedding day. Should I in
troduce them or should my
finance do SO?
Should the mother of the
bride and the mother of the
groom wear corsages? Should
the corsages. if proper, be
bought by us?
Should I write a note to his
mother and father and his Sis
ter and brother and his friends,
whom we expect at the wedding,
inviting them, even though my
friend has already done so?
Should we have place cards
on the table?
