a large number of their friends in
Washington. They came east from
their home in California some weeks
ago and Mrs. Grady has been visit
ing here while he was travelling on
business to Brazil and more recently
to France.
The reception at the embassy was
one Of those very delightful events
for which the diplomatic represent
atives from that country have be-
come justly famous. Mr.. MaSaryk,
one of the honor guests yesterday,
having been the first of his country's
diplomatic ENJOYS to this Capital,

very few vases of flowers. Tall

the drawing room and in the center
of the dining table there was a
low mound of autumn flowers. Here
too simplicity was carried out in
the Observation-Disclosures of the
needs in their homeland.
Costumes of the guests ranged
from street and tailored frocks and
suits to dinner gowns for the ladies.

ness suits or, if in the service, their
uniforms. Most of those in dinner
gowns were on their way to the

United States. They have the right
of wartime greatness and assurance
of security, security guaranteed
by the power and prestige of this
country"
The speaker referred to the rela-
tionship between the Philippines
and the United States as one of a
parent whose child has come of age.
1T happens that this offspring of
ours is wounded and weak as a re-
suit of participation in our war We
owe it to the Filipino people and to
our consciences to aid without stint
or measure in every practical way,
to help the nation get on its feet, to
set its house in order. to recover
from its convalescence, to become
strong and vigorous with its OWL
power and authority"
Ambassador McNutt paid high
tribute to President Manuel Roxas
the first President Of the Philippine
Republic, whom he termed as Amer.
ica's greatest friend in the Orient"
He recalled how President Roxa.
was elected to his post by suhstan.

The brides attendants were all

was just the type to make a lovely
bride but she exceeded my
expectations. She was radiantly
beautiful in her exquisite wedding
gown and veil. The brilliant re-
ception at the Cape Fear Country
club which followed the ceremony
at the church was attended by
several hundred guests, 1 am sure
you have read in the paper of
the twenty-five or more parties
that have been given in honor of
