Miss 10 Anne Young and Kenneth
Warwick Taylor. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hadley E. Young have issued in
vitations for the wedding of their
daughter to Mr.. Taylor, on Mon
day, the ninth of June at Wesley
an University Chapel in Middle
ton, Conn. A reception will fol-
low the ceremony at the Sigma
Chi House. Mr.. Taylor is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Taylor of
Rockville. The newlyweds will
make their home in Alexandria,
Va.
Hardly a week passes that Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor are not hosts to
one or more oftheir legion of
friends from all parts of the
world, but perhaps no single
guest has a more colorful back
ground, and whose life would
make such fabulous reading than
a recent one-Miss Frances Cas-
sard of New York City. An Am
erican dramatic soprano and act
ress, Miss Cassard began her ca
reer at the early age of six. When
only IS, she made her Italian de-
but with the Rome orchestra and
was famous for her roles in Wag-
ner and Verdi operas. She has
not only appeared in Italy as a
soloist but in this country as well.
During the war she sang in 10
countries and was the first Am
erican girl in Rome after our
troops took the city. In fact dur
ing her varied career, there are
few places in the entire world she
has not apparel, including Japan
whre she mastered the language.
Her farewell concert was held in
Tokyo's great Hibiya Concert Hall
in July of last year. During Gen.
eral MacArthur's command, she
was in charge of all music activi-
ties inthe Far East. At present,
Miss Cussard is studying at Co
lumbia University for her doctor
ate in World Religious.

recently have been Mrs. Mildred
Bergholtz of Manchester, N. H.;
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence of New

Gates and her daughter Kerseley
Gates, Miss Florence Gaskill, and
Mr.. R. Lambert. Mr.. Lambert
and Miss Gates both of whom are
from Beverley, N. J. are attend
ing Western Maryland College.
Another interesting guest was an
English woman, DR.. Gladys Fall
shaw, who has lived for II years
in India. DR.. and Mrs. Roy l..
Smith, Mrs. Taylor's uncle, and
now retired from the ministry, and
living in Lakeland, Fla. were also
guests of the Taylors.
