Most Of the scenes were shot
from the rocky cliffs and all

were raising the roof because
they did not have the proper
shoes for running around the
rocks. But not Pearl White"
Mrs. Grogan told us. "She ran
all over ths place in French
heels with no word of COM
plainT." The thing that aston
ished Mrs. Grogan was that
Pearl did not break her neck,
for she was seemingly without
fear and a real trouper.
George Seitz came from North
Scituate. HIS family owned q
gorgeous place there and it was
Mrs. Seitz who gave to Mrs.
Grogan q recipe for summer

extremely hot days would retire
to a we'll tiIad bath tub, tie a

The reason the wedding oc-
CURED in Memphis was because
the Fiorito Band was filling an
engagement there. OF course,
when Mary Patricia's father
heard that he had to leave his
Virginia country place near
Bluemont to travel down to
Memphis to give his daughter
away, he decided to do it up in
the grand manner. So he
promptly wired that he was ar
irving, insisted upon giving the
wedding breakfast, etc. Well,
there is an unbroken rule that
when one of Ted Fiorito'S boys
is married Ted gives the we'd
ding breakfast.
So, Papa Carter, not to be
defeated, did everything re-
uuired Of him, attended the
breakfast, and then informed
all the guests that they could
come to champagne breakfast
he was giving on the next floor
of the hotel. And-we hear that
the most glamorous person at
the wedding was 4-year-old Vir-
ginia Cookie" Carter, the half
sister Of the bride.
THERE is a very charming
L woman who came here from
Minneapolis to visit with her
sister, one of Washington's most
popular hostesses. Not wishing
her sister to miss anything, the
two of them had luncheon at
the Mayflower lounge, where,
as the hostess sister pointed out,
you eventually see everyone
come in. That night t IN e
brother-in.law Of the visitor
from Minneapolis asked how
she liked the lounge and what
she had for luncheon.
WELL" said the lady from
Minneapolis, "the lounge was
very entertaining. but the Wash
ington idea of luncheon is
rather quaint-for instance, my
first course was four rum col
Inns, the second a hamburger
sandwich and dessert was
Stinger!"
