Chicogoons Here.
Washingtonians may be taking
over Chicago this week but a few
society members of the Windy
City moved into the Nations Cap
ital this past week end
This gesture of true love was
done for Mrs. Joseph Sampsell
and Mr.. William T. Freeman, who
were married here on Saturday
afternoon. The ceremony took
place at the Universalist Church
with the Rev. Seth Brooks officiat-
ing.
Parental affection lasted exactly
from II in the morning until 8 in
the evening in the case Of Mr.. and
Mrs. William c. Freeman, who
flew from Chicago just for the
nuptials of their son and his bride.
This limit was set because of
Washington's record breaking
heat wave Of course.
Others making the quick trip
were Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Blair,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Young, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Faurot. Mr.. Sar-
geant Shriver and MIR. Peter Moon.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman are
originally from the midwestern
city although they plan to become
permanent Washington residents.
Mr.. Freeman has been here for
some time with the Department of
Defense and his bride has also
been with the government, but her
G-girl days will end the first part
of the month. The former Mrs.
Sampsell moved down in the fall
with her young daughter Anne
and took a house in Georgetown.
This address in the historic sec
ton Of Washington will be home
to the Freemans for the time be-
ing, although they have their eyes
on a house to buy.
PIons q Secret.
The time and place of the cere-
mony was kept a deep secret ex-
|cept for Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman,
senior, and 9-year-old Anne
Sampsell. The bride had chosen
a cinnamon linen afternoon dress
with a matching jacket which was
embroidered around the neck and
pockets with jet braid. Her shoes,
purse. and tiny face veil were also
black.
Miss Anne Sampsell, who is a
student at "otomac School, wore
pale yellow.
A small reception for the newly
weds was set for 5 o'clock and
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Gates Lloyd
in their Georgetown house. Later
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman left for a
week end honeymoon to "a cool
spot in Virginia." which was also
kept a secret. It possibly remained
a secret even to the bride and
bridegroom. for from the weather
reports we heard there was no cool
spot on the eastern seaboard!
Charter SIoop.
The real wedding trip will be in
August when they take off for the
whole month. Both nautical
minded. the Freemans have
chartered a sloop and will sail
around Maine and the Cape.
The bride is the former Miss
Mary Louise Corley, daughter of
Mr.. Frederick Corley of Chicago
and the late Mrs. Corley. She was
well-known as a debutante there
and later was married to Mr.. Jo-
seph Sampsell. who was lost in
the war in 1914.
Vivacious Mrs. Freeman was
undaunted by the wedding and
the heat and entertained at a
luncheon at her house for all the
out of town guests before the cere-
mony. She did add, however. that
they all might dash out in be-
tween courses and get under the
hose.
And so for once in these hectic
pre-convention days, party con-
versation stayed away from speech
making. Only a congratulations"
and II know you will be happy"
