The date of the wedding has not been fixed but it will probab- ly will take place in December at the home of the bride elect. Mrs. Galt is the widow of a well known business man of Washington who died eight years ago leaving_a jewelry business that still bears his name. She has ived>in’ Washington since her marriage in 1896. She is about ‘ 88 years old and was Miss Edith Bolling, born in Wytheville, Va., where her girlhood was _ spent, and where her father, William H. Bolling, was a prominent law- yer.

The founder of the Bolling family came to Virginja in 1650 following the days of the Stewart Kings.
