Mrs. Simpson and Marques Will Stay in Gothom for Whe
Edno Hitchcock and HerscheI Wioms Are Wed in London
By Betty Beo'e

CYNTHIA Howe Paine another
Romaine was a bridesmaid IN
both their weddings and both
girls used to visit her at Overstone
Mrs. McIlwaine's former summer
home at Prides Crossing. Mass
In fact, it was there that "Gusty'
Paine courted Cynthia, the daugn-
ter of Mrs. Brooks Howe and VIII
liam Deering Howe.
Romaine's statement to the
press that she would keep
her American citizenship though
married to the titled Britisher
has raised the question as to how
she could do so and still have a
title? Perhaps she wouldn't be
registered legally over here as a
marchioness, but she would GER
tainly have the title by courtesy.
Can you imagine anyone address
ing this couple as the Marques OF
Milford-Hav and Mrs. Milford
Haven!
The news mutual friends have
been waiting to hear about Edna
Hitchcock and Herschel V. VIII
liams, jr., is finally here. They
were married in London on the
18th of September and are now
honeymooning in tfe De Gulgne
chateau near Bordeaux. France.
They will come to Washington
around the 1st to set up house
keeping in the newly decorated
Wyoming avenue house that Edna
leased a few months ago from
DR.. and Mrs. A. Y. P. Garnett.
Edna, the widow of w. Gordon
Hitchcock, is a member OF a
prominent well-to-do West Coast
family by the name of Christen-
son. She came to Washington to
live about a year ago, leaving
behind the several ranches she
owns in Arizona and home In
Burlingame, Calf.
Herschel, a lieutenant colonel
in Air Force Intelligence, left New
York to enter the service during
the war. Known in Gotham as
a popular man about town and
an expert on the drawing room
conversation, he is also adroit
with the pen. has one Broadway
play to his credit, jamie" which
ran. for a season in New York.
This is Herschel's first marriage
and it looked for awhile as though
fate might intervene. Edna went
to Europe this summer and Her
schel was to have Joined her In
Paris in August. the wedding te
take place then and there. Edna s
mother and stepfather. Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Gates, were also in
Europe for the big event, but al
the last moment the groom o-be
found himself pinned down to the
Pentagon. Now word comes that
he finally made it, but the setting
was shifted to London.
The news may have been kept
secret these past three weeks be-
cause the Christensen family is
publicity-shy. They had more
than their share back, in 1910
making the headlines of every
newspaper in America when Ed
mas nephew. the .212-year-old 2 son
of her sister Jane and Count
Marc de Tristan, was kidnapped in
California and held for 500, ,000
ransom. This was one such crime
that had a happy ending. with
the kidnaper apprehended and
little Marc. jr., recovered safe and
sound. The other Christensen
sister married Christian de Guigne
and it's at his family's chateau
that the newlyweds are basking
in their newly welded bliss.
