ENTER MARKET, 7 WESTERN MAR- 7 IRR RE | THE WORLD OF SOCIETY A Silver Wedding at Which a Large Family Party Gathered. A Wedding Yesterday With Some Old- Time Romance About It— Personal Notes. Col. and Mrs. A. T. Britton celebrated their silver wedding September 30 at their beautiful country seat, “Wildwood,” in Maryland. The occasion was made interest- ing by a large family reunion. The day was ideal, making it one long to be re- membered by those who enjoyed the hos- pitality of the old colonial home. Flowers were used abundantly and effectively throughout the house and veranda. At 3 o'clock all assembled at a bountiful repast, when each one drank to the future pros- perity of the bride and groom. The table decorations were in green and white, the dates 1860-1894 being formed of lilies of the valley and bride's roses set in maiden hair fern. Each guest took away as a souvenir a silver spoon engraved with these dates. A pretty wedding was solemnized at Niagara Falls on Saturday last at the resi- dence of Dr. C. Van Pelt, a cousin of the bride. The contracting parties were Mr. George Francis Williams, a member of the Washington bar, and Miss Rosalie E. Crippen, also of this city. The occasion was very quiet, on account of the recent death of the bride’s mother. Besides the Niagara friends, the only persons present were Mrs. A. M. Faehtz, aunt of the groom, and Miss Crippen, sister of the bride, both of this ci and the Misses Smith of Java Village, N. Y., cousins of the bride. The parlors were prettily decked with reses, smilax and masses of golden rod. Promptly at 12 o'clock the bride and groom entered to the strains of the wedding march from “Lohengrin,” the bride being most be- comingly dressed in a gown of white silk with lace. She carried a bouquet of bride roses. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. W. Norton, after which an elegant Weading breakfast was served, and Mr. and Mrs. Williams then left for a short trip. On their return to this city they will reside at 1012 Florida avenue northeast, where they will be pleased to see their friends after October 10. A wedding with un additional spice of in- terest attached to it, because of the oppo- sition of the father of the bride, took ce yesterday at the parish house of St. Patrick's Church. The couple was Miss Cicely Armes, daughter of and Mrs. Armes, and Mr. Herbert of Chevy cl . The bride’s mother, the groom's witnesses of the ceremony, at which Rev. Father Barry of St. Ann's Church, Tenley- town, officiated. The bride’s father arrived @ litde late for the event, as a happy com- bination of circumstances helped to outwit him at every turn. The couple left im- seer dined a northern trip, and will re- urn to ¢ up housekeeping in a pretty home near Chevy Chase in a few weeks. Mr. W. F.

Representative Meredith says he will call on Secretary Carlisle and ty to start the money rolling, so as to satisfy those men who are anxious for work and are kicking.
