THE COMING BRIDES AND GROOMS The Orange Blossom Fragrance of April's Last Ha'f. OTHER GOSSIPY TOPICS —_-+-_—__ It would be a very unappreciative person indeed who would not be stirred by the at- tractive features of the Easter program after the past six weeks, when only din- ner-giving broke the stillness and nothing more thrilling disturbed the quiet than the meetings at which were arranged the spring charity performances. Of course, the last few days have contributed more than their share of topics toward lubricating the wag- ging tongue, for during that period one of the quietest of Washington homes has been suddenly transformed into a center from which may now be expected daily statements, platforms, plans and other ag- gravating forms by which the ambitious must always woo the object they desire. Like other great folks and following dis- tinguished precedents, the newest aspirant for a White House residence has provided @ retreat from the madding excitement of the city, and much of the interest which has been expended on the famous home on Rhode Island avenue will now be diverted to Woodley Lane, where Admiral and Mrs. Dewey expect to reside until their departure for the west. The main interest, however, of the Easter revival will naturally be gtven to the brides and grooms. The sentiment for Wednesday wedding days has not abated, as nearly all those so far announced will take place on the first one available, April 18. The list. already long, is being daily lengthened. The wedding day for Miss Alice Maury and Mr. James Parmalee of Cleveland is Saturday, April 21. The ceremony will take place at noon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Maury, and personal friends from this city who are invited will share that pleasure with a large gathering of relatives and intimate friends of the groom who are coming on from Ohio, There is no city in this country where a former association with official or social life lasts longer in the public mind or re- quires less to reanimate It than here. The ups and downs which come to the average mortal strike keenly where persons come in frequent contact as is possible in a city the size of the capital. One of the dis- tinguishing traits of the diplomatic corps is a remembrance of the courtesies which are due its members or their memories. This is proverbial. Therefore Lady Pauncefote has graciously offered the ball room of the British legation for an entertainment Eas- ter week, when the daughters of a former dean of the diplomatic corps, whose home in this city was once a social rendezvous, will give a musical entertainment. One of these young ladies, who teaches dancing in New York, will give a Spanish dance in costume. Other features of the chantant will be equally artistic. With Lady Pauncefote are associated as patronesses a long list of the notable hostesses of the capital. Mrs. Charles Early and Miss Early are at Old Point Comfort, where they have gone for a stay of a few weeks. Mrs. Dewey, nee Bradley, wife of Lieut. Edward Dewey, U. 8. N., is the guest of her relatives, Mrs. J. C. Kennedy, 1630 Rhode Island avenue. Lieut. Dewey is the nephew of Admiral Dewey. Col. and Mrs. T. H. Alexander started for Chico, Cal., this afternoon for an in- definite stay. Their departure was sudden, because of the death of Gen. John Bidwell, which occurred on the 4th instant. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zlehike of Annap- olis, Md., have issued invitations for the wedding of their daughter, Catherine Eliz- abeth, to I. Walter Richardson of this city The wedding will take place Wednesda afternoon, April 18, at 2 o'clock, at t German Lutheran Church, Annapolis, Md. The bride will be attended by Miss Clara Donch of this city as maid of honor. The tendant will be Mr. Allen A. so of this city. Mr. Frank m, a brother of the groom, and Mr. Alvin M. McNish, both of this’ city, and Mr. Louis Boessel and Mr. John Strange , the latter two of Annapolis, will act as ushe Mr. and M Max Hecht will be pleased to see their friends Sunday afternoon from 3 to 5 at the Raleigh.
