C., Mr. and Mrs. Tflli.ferro Deeply Interested In Capital Affairs New District Commissioner and His Consort Are Cor- dially Indorsed by Wash- ington Society. In the Democratic member of the Board of Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbla, Mr. Sidney F. Taliaferro is a man who works very hard and who plays with equal vim and this term expresses Mrs. Tall- ferro just as adequately. There are many interesting _contacts which these two have made with Washing- ton people and along the worthiest lines. The Commissioner is a leading member of the Bar Association and of the Board of Trade and, being an ardent golf player, he was among those who substantially assisted the Congressional Club in its early days, and has acted as its treasurer from the beginning. Mrs. Taliaferro has lived in Wash- ington since her early girlhood and she 1s as deeply engrossed in its wel- fare as her husband. She was be- fore her marriage on October 3, 1916, Miss Elizabeth Kirkwood Fulton, daughter of the late Thomas Fuiton of Glascow Scotland. She made her home in Washington with her uncle, the late Daniel Fraser and Mrs. Fraser, and it was there that she met and married Mr. Tallaferro. Mrs. Fulton still lives in the old home in the chief\city of Scotland, and Mr. and Mrs. Taliaferro spent a month with her last September. She had come to Washington twice since her daughter took up her residence with her brother, Mr. Fraser, and it is with deep regret that Mrs, Tallaferro real- izes that her mother has become somewhat too infirm to attempt to cross the ocean again. But as she and the Commissioner find their greatest pleasure in travel and they have made many trips to Europe since their marriage, they hope to revisit the Glascow home soon again. Mrs. Taliaferro has a younger sister, Miss Ella B. Fulton, to whom she is devotely attached. Miss Ful- ton is one of the successful journalists of London, and she also is acknowl- edged as one of itse most skilliful black and white artists. She writes for the London Illustrated News, for the Sphere, the Graphic and the Tatler, that group of papers which became so powerful during and im- medfately after the World War. It is Mrs. Taliaferro’s earnest desire to have her sister visit her Washington home and twice she has made all arrangements for this when stress of work prevented Miss Fulton from leaving London. She was educated privately in Glascow and then took advanced courses” in London art schools and in the University of London. Mrs. Tallaferro studled in the Friends' School in this city and Prof. and Mrs. Sidwell consider her one of their most admirable puplls. She has been Invited to be the guest of honor at the tea dance which the alumni is giving on De- cember 27 in the school building, an A fl, DECEMBER 12, 1926—PART 2. honor which this former pupil lp-! preciates thoroughly. Both the Com- | missioner and Mrs. Taliaferro are | fond of reading and they each give a fraction of their busiest days te keeping up with current events, skimming the better class of maga- zines and reading book reviews with the idea that when the Summer travel comes, they have made a selective list of books they wish to read. It is for the long, quiet hours on the liners that they have made S0 many VOyages across the ocean. But they have not neglected this country and indeed they saw America first before at- tempting the Old World. They have made several tours through the wonder spots of the West and have visited several of the insular pos- sessions of the United States in the Pacific The Commissioner and Mrs. Talla- ferro are members St. John's Episcopal Church in McLean, Fair- fax County, Va. They visit. around at the various churches in Wash- ington, but soon'after their marriage they affliated with the McLean con- gregation and have retained thelr ‘membership there ever since. Weddiny Ceremonies Make Society Record The marriage of Miss Mary Ada Hampson, sister of Mr. George Mo- bray Hampson of Baltimore, to Mr. Donald Stuart Warren took place last evening in St. Paul's English Lutheran Church in Baltimore at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Warren will make their home in Washington. The marriage of Mr. Yancey D. Meriwether and Miss Carolyn E. Pickett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John King Pickett, was quietly cele- brated Saturday afternoon, Decem- ber 4. Mrs. Sylvia Smith was matron of honor and Harrie W. Newman best' man. After a short honeymoon to Norfolk, Va., and New York they will be at home at Stanley Arms.
