Fete Prince
And Bride

Although their wedding in May
passed almost unnoticed by the
Nazi papers Prince Louis Ferdi-
nand, grandson Of the former
German Kaiser, and his aristo-
cratic bride were given a royal
welcome at the German En-
bassy yesterday evening by the
Ambassador and Frau DECK
hoff.
The young couple-she was
the Grand Duchess Kyra of Rus
sia-were married at the Castle
Doom, Netherlands, amid glories
that are no more, of Imperial
Potsdam, and the houses of
Hohenzollern and Romanov.
And 5000, following their
wedding which made all the
front pages on May 2, the de-
lightful young members Of two
former ruling houses sailed for
the United States on their
honeymoon.
ARRIVED MONDAY
They arrived at the German
Embassy Monday night and yes
terday evening-between the
hours of 6 and 8 o'clock-the
Ambassador and Frau Dieckhoff
asked nearly 200 friends to greet
the honeymoonerS-and no one
stayed home!
The embassy on MaSSachu-
sets Avenue has one of those I'M
expected and fascinating green
gardens in the rear and it was
there the party was held.
Beaming-aS all newlyweds
should've Prince and Princess
greeted the guests with warm
cordiality and firm handshakes.
A streamlined pair, these two
are typically modern. The former
Grand Duchess is slim and chic
and yesterday had chosen an
informal black frock printed
in white and Splashes of orchid.
The personable Prince Louis
Ferdinand, who endeared himself
to democratic American hearts
when he was here before by say
ing Just call me Doc" was

pin-Striped suit. They both
speak English with merely a
trace of an accent.

They left the Embassy this
morning for Detroit and accord
ing to present plans, sail in
three weeks for a trip around
the world.
Although the party had been
planned only yesterday morn
ing everything was in apple
pie order. A nice breeze blew
across the exquisite green lawn
and iced drinks clinked above
the hum If voices. Frau DECK
hoff was wearing a gay red and
white print frock, accented by
an emerald green belt, and a
single strand of pearls cleaned
at her throat.

Nora de With, daughter Of the
Minister of Netherlands and
Nine. de With, was wearing a
lovely spring print topped by
a perky white yelled hat.
The First Secretary of the
Embassy, Herr Paulus Won Stolz-
man, was just a bit unhappy at
the absence of his petite wife,
who is ill. Although she is on
the road to recovery, Frau Won
Stolzmann may not be able to
make the trip to her homeland
the end of this month, as she
had planned.
