For weeks the social calendar has
been fairly jammed with parties for
the former Senorita Patterson and the
Swiss diplomat, and Capital society
has looked forward to the interesting
wedding. Although the bride and her
family have been in the Capital not
quite year they have made a host
Of friends. The former Senorita Pat
terson has acted as her fathers Of
f1cial hostess and in addition to grac-
ing this important role as chatellaine
of the embassy with poise and charm
she has found time to take part in
the festivities of the younger set.
Seldom does a wedding in the Cap
ital have a more impressive and beau
tiful setting as that of yesterday. A
little chapel was arranged in the con-
servatory at one end of the ball room
with white velvet hangings, and the
improvised altar was lighted with ca
thedral tapers and f1anked on either
side by fragrant Easter lilies, Gala
lilies and pink roses. A rare old altar
piece Of the Madonna painted on
wood was hung above the altar. Down
the center of the entrance to the ball
room white ribbons formed an aisle
through which the bridal party en-
tered.
The bride was escorted and given in
marriage by her father. Her wedding
gown Of ivory white satin was all the
more effective because of the SIM
plcity Of the design. The neckline
was quite high and the sleeves which
were close fitting at the wrists, had a
slight fullness above the elbows The
skirt terminated in a court train and
her wedding veil Of rare old lace was
held by wreath of orange blossoms
and she carried an arm bouquet OF
lilies of the valley.
Senorita Olga Patterson, sister of
the bride, was one of her attendants,
the others including, Senorita Marta
Trucco, Senorita Rebeca Trucco and
Senorita Graciela Trucco, daughters
Of the Chilean Ambassador, their
cousin, Senorita Ema Gaeta, and Miss
Florence Harris. They wore most be-
coming gowns of blue crinkle crepe,
with wreaths of silver leaves In their
hair. The gowns were made with high
collars and long flowing sleeves shirred
at the shoulders. The attendants car
ried talisman roses tied with yellow
tulle.
The Minister Of Switzerland, M.
Marc Peter, was the best man and
there were no ushers.
Nine. Schlatter- Roll, mother of the
bridegroom, held the brides bouquet
while her son and the senorita were
exchanging their marriage VOWS. Nine
Schlatter- Roll came from Switzerland
for the wedding, for which she wore a
gown Of burgundy crepe with a black
hat and a cluster of gardenias.
Receiving with the couple in the
doorway Of the drawing room were
the brides father and Nine. Schlatter-
Roll, and the Minister of Switzerland
and Nine. Peter. In the drawing room
the brides attendants held court.
A profusion of flowers was used
throughout the embassy, with the
brides table having as its centerpiece
