Gold and blue-the Navy

ding last night of Miss Mary
Elizabeth Rockwell, daughter
of Capt. and Mrs. Frank Rock
well, and Lieut.. Melvin w.
Woods. The marriage took
place in true Navy style with
the LieutenantS in full dress
holding their swords for the
bride and bridegroom.

lighted with the soft glow of
candles and Madonna lilies be-
decked the altar. The officiat-

the Rev. Francis Warren.
Mary Elizabeth made pretty
picture as she walked down the
aisle on the arm of her father.
She wore a white satin gown
with a bodice shirred from the
high pointed neck to the waist
line. The folds of the gown fell
in an extremely long train.
GARDENIA BOUQUET
Her veil was caught about
her head with clusters OF
orange blossoms. Her face veil
fell to her finger-tips. She car
ried a bouquet of gardenias
and lilies of the valley in a
shower arrangement.
The blue and gold shades
were carried out in the gowns
worn by the brides attendants.
Miss Cappy Rockwell was her
sisters maid of honor. Although
her gown was not the true Navy
blue it was only shade lighter.
It was fashioned OF slipper
satin and made with a heart
heart-shaped neck with short
shirred sleeves. From the very
high tight waistline a bouffant
skirt fell into a slight train. She
carried deep yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and wore garland OF
gold leaves in her hair.
The bridesmaids all wore the

slipper satin and they carried
bronze chrysanthemums. They

0ECRETARY of C o m m cree
~ Daniel c. Roper was the
guest speaker at the luncheon
given last Saturday by the
Democratic League of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and instead
of the speech he had planned,
gave a delightful impromptu
one. Mr.. Roper was in excellent
humor and rare form and told
several amusing and true
stories. One was rather on him
self. It seems that he was asked
to speak in Detroit at a club
of business men and-accepted.
One of his close friends told
him, with a bit of alarm. that
he was going into a regular
lions den, for all the club men,
bers were staunch Republicans.
However, Mr.. Roper had
planned to speak and continued
on his way. And-with ready
wit ESQ we thought) told the
club that he had been informed
it was q den of lions, that his
name was Daniel, he was there,
and would all the American
lions stand up. From then on
though perhaps Mr.. Roper
wasn't sure of 1t in the begin
ming, everything was nicely
serene, ideas were exchanged
and discussed and "all the
lions" and the Democratic
Daniel of the Administration
had an amlcable meeting.

| WOQQcr IL WLou, SEVERAL
months ago, William Henry
TAYLOR commissioned Rose Greedy to do
over the property he purchased at the cor
ner of Twenty eighth and Q Streets, IN his
toric Georgetown, he had any idea 1t would
be as highly successful as it has turned out
to be.
You remember it. squarish sort of house,
neglected gardens overgrown with weeds on
two sides, dilapidated stable IN one corner,
utterly lacking any sign of attractlveness,
tenantless for many, many years.
Now it stands proudly, vylng IN beauty
with its neighbors, practically ready for Its
new owner to move in and call 1t home.
Miss Greedy is truly to be congratulated on
her work, and particularly thrilled was she
when Mr. Taylor gave her permission to do
the gardens as we'll as the house.
INTERESTING BRICK WALL =
Of late English Georgian architecture, the
exterior with its neat appearance, Will be-
come mellow with the years. Surrounding
an ancient tree in the garden is an interest
ing little brick wall and also separating the
garden from the sidewalk is a brick wall,
just high enough to insure privacy.
The completely out-of-date stable has be-
come modern garage; new in every detail
except the flying Pegasus, which ancient and
honorable weather vane had adorned the
original stable, and the rescue of which was
the inspiration of the architect who chuckled
as she told me about it.
Already Mr.. Taylor, whose bachelordom
will insure him an enviable place on every
society matron's dinner list this winter,
has started to send down from his West
Chester, Pa, home some of his rarely beauti-
full pieces-antiques which will charm the
collectors heart and such paintings as those
done by Renoir, Van Gogh, Corot, Sisley,
Courbet, Monet and Manet.
CHANGES ROOMS
Such minor details as a stove and re-
frigerator are incomplete, for the artistic
soul of Miss Greedy puts off until the last
moment those rather boring necessities. The
elongated drawing room of the original resi-
dence has been divided somewhat, allowing
a recessed hallway for the staircase and
adding few feet to the library or study.

funds for relief and allied purposes
for the thirty-month period beginning
April /. With that amount in State
funds, federaland local funds would be
available to allow a $27,000,000 pro-
gram for the period.
However, the state now contributes
only $3,6OO,OOO year for all
purposes, which is $2,8OO,OOO less than
the amount the Board of State Aid has
requested. Sentiment in the Senate
is against allowing any increase in
funds for relief.
Will Speed Work
Both houses of the Legislature be-
gan two-a-day sessions yesterday as
the laSt-month drive really got under
way.
The two houses spent afternoon ses-
sions receiving long committee re-
ports and new bills. Last night the
Senate began its battle over the bien-
MEL budget while the House tackled
a long third reading file.
The budget as it left the hands of
the committee, is slightly higher than
the $70,565,036.99 recommended by
Governor Nice for the two years be-
ginning October l.
The House of Delegates on Tuesday
killed five measures, among the
number being one permitting
the sterilization of idiots, imbeciles
on cigarettes, one which would have
levied a tax of two cents a package
on cigarettes, onew hich would have
prevented under any circumstances
the marriage of girl under sixteen
years of age.
Critics of the State police depart
ment will face another Senate fight
Friday when they attempt to have a
report containing adverse criticism of
Governor Nice, J. Purdum Wright, the
adviser of Governor Nice, and Ser
geant Katz, printed in the legislative
record.
