Mrs. E, Kurtz Johnson's spacious home near Scott circle was profusely adorned with flowers today for the marriage of her only daughter, Sara, to Dr. Hugh Holmes McGuire, son ef Dr. Hunter McGuire of Richmond. The ceremony took place at noon within a bower of palms, arranged in the tower window of the reception room, curtained off by draperies of asparagus vines. Throughout this room and the spa- cious drawing room adjoining only white flowers, roses and chrysanthemums were used, with great quantities of vines and foliage plants. In the dining room pink flowers predominated, and the effect was very pretty. Owing to the recent death of the bride's uncle, only a family party, im- mediate relatives of the bride and groom, were present. The latter was accompanied here by a number of other relatives. The bride was escorted to the drawing room by her eldest brother, Mr. Richard A. Johnson, Dr. Stuart McGuire of Richmond being best man for his brother. The ceremony was performed by the rector of St. Matthew's Church, Rev. Thomas 8. Lee. The radiant bride was elegantly gowned in white satin, richly trimmed with point lace, which nearly covered the high-necked bodice and formed an apron effect on the front of the skirt. Her all-enveloping veil of tulle fell from under a wreath of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of white or- chids and bride roses. She wore no jewels. A wedding breakfast was served before Dr. and Mrs. McGuire left for their bridal journey, the objective point of which they did not reveal. The bride's going away costume was of blue cloth, with a hat to match. Her presents were numerous and valuable, and consisted largely of superb articles of jewelry. Among other gifts, Mrs. Johnson gave her daughter a diamond brooch. Dr. and Mrs. McGuire have not yet quite decided whether to make their permanent home in Richmond, Washington or Alex- andria. In the latter city Dr. MeGuire is already established in practic: Mrs. Johnson, accompanied by her daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. Richard A. Johnson, will leave in a few weeks for the Hot Springs ansas to spend the winter for the benefit of the former's health. Mrs. William Hedian, who has been visit- ing her parents, has returned to her home in Balt&nore. Captain and Mrs. George B. Haycock and their son, Mr. Scott Haycock, have re- turned te Washington for the son, and are domiciled in their residence on’ 19th street. Wimodaughsis will hold its weekly in- formal reception this afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock. Mrs. Dickerson, the president, is absent from the city, but Mrs. A. S. Hamilton, past president of Wimodaughsis, will receive the guests. Mrs. Frank Randolph, who has been spending three weeks in Lexington, Ky., ith her husband, has gone to visit friends in Dayton, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin S. Platt and Miss Platt have returned to the city for the winter, and are living at 2%) J4th street. A Halioween party was held at 1002 M street, the house being tastefully deco- rated with flowers and palms. Jack ow lanterns made from pumpkins and light- ed with candles threw a weird light into nooks and cozy corners. Tricks suitable r the occasion were indulged in. Of those that were new and catchy, the “sheet holding’ and the passing under of the marble hand caused much merriment, with repeated iaughter and guessing who would be the winner of the marble hand. The animal contest was highly exciting. The first prizes were won by Mi Maddox and Mr. Thompson. An old-fashioned cotillion called and thoroughly enjoyed by the entire company of thirty-four couples, who were led te the dining room by the hoste of the occasion, Miss Somervill of Arkan- sas, for the midnight supper. Mrs. Virginia Thompson has issued cards Maud for the marriage of her daughter, Amanda, to Mr. Arnold Vance Tues evening, November 15, a Sixth Presbyterian Church.

After a grand march nd two flash-light pictures the walk itself an, and each couple had w du a turn before the judges’ stand, which was a rals- ed platform at the head of the hall. The costumes were unique, to say the least, and together with the black faccs and Ss made a very ludicrous appearance. of the steps which the various couples troduced were excellent; even professionals would have been pushed to wil. The lead- ers were so well matched that it was only with great difficulty and after much discus- sion that a decision was finaliy reached by the judges. The winners were finally an- nounced and the cake was awarded to Mr. Dosal and Miss Grace Mantz, honorable mention being given to Mr. Lianford and Miss May Mantz. Other contestants were: Mr. Brandenburg and Miss Moore, Mr. Ed- monds and Miss Sypher, Mr. Stodder and Miss Edmonds and Mr. Milton Mantz and Miss Stier. Mr. Julius Buynitski acted as master of ceremonies. Miss Della Ganley and Mr. John Hirsch were married at 5 o'clock y2sterday at St. Stephen’s Church. Miss Kate Niland and Mr. Thomas Ganley -stood up with the ccuple. The bride wore white organdie and carried bride roses, and her bridesmaid was also in white and carried La France reses. A reception was held after the cere- mony at the residence of the bride’s par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ganley, after which Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch went to their nw home, 2615 L street.

Lady Curzon of Kedl2ston, formerly Miss Mary Leiter, is credited with having spent $15,000 with one dressmaker in Paris lately in anticipation of future needs. She stayed a week at the French capital to refurnish her wardrobe. Lord Curzon, who is said to be in greatly improved health, met her upon her return to London, when they took possession of their new home, Carlton Ter- race, recently purchased and pres2nted to his daughter by Mr. Leiter. Mrs. Brooke has gone to Porto Rico, Cuba, to join her husband, Gen. Brooke. They will live in the governor's palace a: San Juan, which, equipp2d, as it is, with very few evidences of western civilization, scunds much grander than what it really is. It has to be refurnished to make it habitable. Mrs. Brooke has taken with her a Chinese cook, an English hous:maid and a Spanish butler. Mrs. Brooke was mar- ried in the White House, where she had spent the year previous’ with her aunt, Mrs. Hayes. It is formally announced in London that the wedding of the Earl of Strafford and Mrs. Samuel Colgate of New York will be celebrated in Paris November 18.

Heart troubles, at least among Americans, are certainly increasing, and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American busi ness life, it is more often the result of weak stom- achs, of poor digestion. Real, organic heart disease is incurable; but met one case ina hundred of heart trouble ts onganic, The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion Is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the aympathetle and pneumogastric In another way also the beart is affected by that form of poor digestion which causes gas and fer. mentation from half-digested food: ts a foel ing of oppression and heaviness in the chest, caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the beart and lungs, interfering with thelr action; hence arises palpitation and sbort breath. Poor digest: 80 poisoos the Dlood, makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to Improve the digestion and to insnre the prompt Assiwtlation of food.
