Wife Of New Dean to See First Cathedral Flower
Mrs. Francis B. Soyre
Most Enthusiastic
About Festival
By Morqoret S. Dickey

This year the most interested
spectator of the thousands who
will visit the annual Flower Mart
of the Washington Cathedral will
be Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, jr., wife
of the newly elected dean of the
Cathedral.
Mrs. Sayre's outing on Friday
at the mart will be her first OFF,
cial public appearance since ar
irving here a little over two weeks
ago. The rest of the time has
been spent settling into the roomy,
high-ceilinged house on Woodley
road provided for the dean and in
taking care of their two small
children. Jessie Wilson, almost 2
years, and Thomas Hart, 5l2
months old.
The young Mrs. Sayre. whose
husband is the youngest dean in
the history of the Cathedral, is no
newcomer to Washington, having
lived here with her parents, Ad-
miral and Mrs. Thomas G. Hart
of Sharon, Conn. and during the
war when she worked for the Of
flee of Strategic Services. But
she has never before seen the
famous Flower Mart and is de-
lighted with the prospect.
The sight of Mrs. Sayre and the
children has already become IA
miliar one to those who frequent
the Cathedral close these spring
days. Each afternoon the Sayres
cross Woodley road and enter the
shaded grounds of the Cathedral
for their daily walk, usually end
ing up in the Bishops Garden,
where the bubbling fountains, in
tricate paths and luxuriant shrub
berry particularly please the chill
dren. On Friday tor Saturday,
if rain postpones the flower martI
the walk will be expanded into
a daylong excursion, allowing
time to explore every booth and
flower stand.
Mrs. Sayre will have the chill
dren with her at least part of the
time and plans to be on hand at
II o'clock when Mrs. Truman cuts
the ribbon to signify the opening
of the show.
The best part of the day for the
young Sayres. who are grandchil-
dren of the U. S. Representative
in the U.N. Trustee Council ana
Mrs. Sayre and great-grandchil-
dren Of President Woodrow Will
son, will be seeing the Sicilian
donkey cart recently presented to
Secretary of Defense Marshall and
perhaps taking short ride in it.
The bright balloons which always
spot the Cathedral grounds on the
day of the mart, a toy team and
the willing pony who gives the
children rides, too. are sure to at.
tract their attention.
For Mrs. Sayre, who is hoping
to try her hand at gardening soon,
although she fears she lacks a
green thumb, the booth for seed
lings will be of special interest.
There, with the expert guidance
of Mrs. Walter Chappell and Mrs.
Nathan Scott, who will be in
charge. she may select from a
great variety of shrubs and flow
ers for the garden which are all
ready for planting. The choices
will range from tomato plants TO
handsome English and American
lockwood. And for a novice
gardener this is far less risky than
starting from seed.
Another booth bound to be
popular with young housewives is
the Gourmet's Guide which Mrs.
Charles Carroll Morgan, Mrs. Rob-
ert Guggenheim and Mrs. Frank
Faldrop will staff. And for those
who would like to transplant a
touch of the Old World into their

the United States brought this
report from the AP, bureau in
Reno:
Nevada justices of peace, like
those in most other places, keep
marriage fees. The big marriage
trade in Reno and Las Vegas
makes these jobs worth a gross
of some $4,000 a year in Reno
and up to $4,000 in Las Vegas.
$40 Per Marriage.
There are more marriages in
Reno than in Las Vegas, but the
Reno district judges participate
in the marrying merry-go-round
more than the district judges in
Las Vegas.
The current marriage fee, a
gratuity and not a legal stipend,
Is $l0 per couple. This is in ad-
dition to the SIS marriage license
fee that goes partly into county
and State treasures.
THE justices and judges have
expenses in connection with the
marriages-payment of witnesses,
etc.-so they do not pocket all of
the $40. Nobody-with the excep-
tion of the Internal Revenue
Bureau-knows exactly how much
they do pocket"
The fee for a wedding is, of
course. as legitimate as the insti-
tuition of marriage.
Fees of any kind usually are
set by statute. In some cases they
can add up to a sizable sum.
Here is a report from the New
Haven, Conn, AP bureau on the
fee system for probate judges in
Connecticut.
The State has 100 of them. Eff
forts have been made unsuccess-
fully for years in the Legislature
to put them on salary.
Their net earnings from fees
range from few hundred dollars
in small probate courts to $50, 900
in richer communities, like Green
wich, Hartford and New Haven.
Critics point out some probate
judges get more than the State
Supreme Courts chief justice, who
gets 15,50O."
In Mississippi. the sheriff tax
collectors Ca combined office). cir
cult and chancery clerks, justices
OF the peace, constables and coro-
ners operate on the fee system ex-
clusiyely.
But some of them are not very
happy about the arrangement.
The AP bureau in jackson re-
ports:
There is a constant simmering
opposition on the part of rural
(Snaller) county officials, since
they make much less than officials
in larger counties who, in some
cases. make up to three times the
salary paid the Governor"
