Invitations Are Out for Several Others This Month—Personal Notes. Miss Mary Diver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome B. Diver, and Mr. Henry Harding Burroughs of Scranton, Pa., were married last night at Calvary Baptist Sunday School Chapel, in the presence of a large gathering of invited friends. A bower of palms decked the platform, and behind it an orchestra played. The ushers were Mr. E. G. Mason of New York, Dr. Stout- enburg, Dr. Leech, Mr. William Horton, Dr. David Buckingham and Dr. Frank ‘Swartout. The maid of honor was Miss Hattie Diver, the bride’s sister, who wove a dainty gown of white and carried a hou- quet of La France roses. The bride was stylishly attired in a tailor-made gown of silver gray cloth. A becoming hat was worn and a bouquet of bride roses carried. She came in cnurch with her father. Mr. Charles O'Neill was best man. The couple started last night for a wedding trip, and will reside at Scranton, Pa. The bride re- ceived quantities of beautiful gifts. : At Trinity M. E. Church last night a large company witnessed the marriage of Miss Viola Sanderson and Mr. Charles E. Hoover. Flowers and palms decorated the chancel. Dr. Rice performed the cere- mony. The ushers were Messrs. George Hummer, John Acton, Grant Hoover and Howard Hoover! Miss Hattie Hoover at- tended the bride as her maid of honor, and Mr. Noble Hoover was best man. The bride came in church with her father, Mr. W. L. Sanderson. Her gown was of white satin, covered with silk mull, and a wreath of orange blossoms held her tulle veil. A shower bouquet of bride roses was carried. The maid of honor wore white satin and carried La France roses. The wedding re- ception was held at the future home of the couple, 1613 Marion street. The bride's pa- rents, Mr. and Mrs. Sanderson, assisted the couple in receiving. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Hummer, Mr. and Mrs. Sam. Hoover, Mr. and Mrs. Duvall, Miss Addie Duvall, Mrs. Jane Sanderson, Mrs. Julia Murphy, Mrs. Lydia Hoover, Mrs. Sarah Hayre, Mrs. Caywood, McElhany, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hoover, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hoover, Mr. and Mrs. S. Lemon Hoover, Miss West, Miss Cush- ing, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Crouch, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Allan, Mr. and Mrs. Acton, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hoover, Dr. Stearn, -Miss Stearn and Mr. and Mrs. John Hayre. The last of the euchre parties given by the young ladies of the Takoma Hotel took place Monday night. Eight tables were filed, and competition for the handsome prizes was close. Mr. Waples and Miss Warren won the first prizes, and Mr. Mat- thews the consolation prize. Among ‘hose present were Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hazen, Mrs. Carusi, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Larner, Miss Johnson, Miss Hazen, Miss McDonald, Miss Merritt, Miss Warren, Miss Mixon, Miss Miller, Miss Larner, ifiss Hines and Mr. Simonds, Judge Barrett, Gen.

Brice will give a straw ride and supper tonight at Newport. A genuine feeling of sorrow followed the announcement yesterday of the death of the late William Hall Slack. There are few men, either in social life or in club circles. enjoying the wide acquaintance which was his, who was so pleasantly regarded. Of late years he had stepped prominently to the front as the promoter of and organizer of all the leading social events. Probably in this or any other city there never was an individual with so many natural gifts in his capacity for the work nor any whose efforts were followed by better results. He had wonderful executive ability in devi ie the greatest of these events and the kind- est consideration of the opinions of those about him, so that none of the ill feeling which is usually manifest on similar occa- sions with other social bodies ever came to the surface in the affairs he managed. For the last year he felt keenly the position in which he stood in his domestic affai 1d he virtually withdrew from society. While he continued to organize all the cotillions and assemblies, he never appeared st any of them. After the guests had assembled and the event was in progress he at once left the scene. In his social dictatorship, so far as public functions went, he exercised a liberality of iders which is eminently characteristic of the true Washington at- mosphere. He made no attempt at the ex- clusiveness which would form an insur- mountable barrier to people new to the capital, and which would, in his judgment, rob ‘society of its most delightful and de- sirable features. Personally, there were few men more sought after, and fewer still whose manner gave so little indication of it to the world at large. The keen sdr- row and the friendly things expressed on every side are abundant evidence that his memory will be kept green in Washington soc ly for many a day.
