_ Mrs JACOD L.MILLIGAN , with Representative’ Milligaw at Cow - grene Hall unbil they T’resident and First Lady Soon to Leave White House For Their Temporary Home Quiet Preparations Being Made for "Packing Up." Many Interesting Events Chronicled in Capital Society's Schedule. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ASHINGTON teems with interesting things these last days of Congress and while society events are important there are some touches of domestic life gonig on here that engage the at- tention of the whole Nation, and this sentence embraces the moving day of the President and Mrs. Coolidge. Unlike that hasty de- parture of President Madison and his winsome lady from the mansion when the British paid their unpleasant more than a hundred years ago, the President and the First Lady of the Land of today have been enabled to take things quietly, and the changing from the White House for a residence elsewhere for a few months will entail no greater hard- ship or confusion that did packing up and traveling to Saranac Lake last Summer, and in truth, not so much. ENNSYLVANIA avenue will seem lonely without its important resi- dents and the crowds of tourists who wait patiently for hours at a time to see Mrs. Coolidge leave the mansion for a walk or a drive, or stand peering thmu%‘h the fence on the south side of the grounds to watch her romp with her wonderful white Collies, will now have comfortable benches in Dupont Circle on which to rest. fices each day so must the First Lady of the Land find occasion to ook in on the White House for some forgotten article, watch the work JUST as the President must make numerous visits to the executive of- progress on the building or exercise her dogs on the inclosed grounds, and each trip will give untold thrills to a new set of spectators. Sightseeing busses will add a new feature to their time-worn information and the whole section about the once famous circle will take on fresh interest. USUALLY all of the disappointments and social ills of society at this season are blamed on the rush of congressional affairs, but last week’s schedule was upset, not so much by Senators and Representatives being kept at the Capitol “on the hill,” as by the postponed visit of the Presi- dent of Cuba. The whole social world was on the qui vive for the ar- rival of Senor and Senora de Machado. It was an important visit that had to be acted upon by the law-makers of the island just as was done by Congress here when the late President Wilson went to Europe. The White House was to throw open its doors for a dinner, an important luncheon party had been planned at the Pan-American Union, the Am- bassador of Cuba and Senora de Ferrara were to entertain, and, indeed, a more important program had not been planned in many years. However, the illness of Senor Machado prevented his leaving the Cuban capital and Washington can only wait to meet the distinguished guest at some future day. HOWEVER, each day of last- week held a special interest, and yester- day, like the closing day of the former week, wedding bells called so- Without ostentation, the wedding of Miss Rosamond Reed and Mr. Charles Denby, jr., was edsily one of the most important and elegant seen here in many seasons. It was a coincidence worth recording that both of the popular senatorial brides of the late season should have chosen a Saturday as a wedding day and that the Denby-Reed wedding like that of the Harmon-Kendrick nuptials of a week ago should enlist the attendance of the President and Mrs. Coolidge and that the wedding journey of each couple should lead to. Europe and service in the diplo- matic corps. ciety to accoun IDLENT ecach year offers something worth while to the pleasure lover in the way of a break in the 40 days of sack cloth and ashes, and this year it is to be a Spanish fiesta mardi gras night, March 28, when society will rollick through a maddening rush of Spanish dances, games, and nume- rous other features and for the sake of raising money to reduce the debt on Monticello. Mrs. Henry Dimock, Mme. Ekengren and others have engaged the promised help of all of the Spanish-speaking diplomats, and costumes of great beauty will be furnished from the treasure chests of many persons in and out of Washington. T seems so fitting that at the end of an overfilled season with all-Ameri- can forms of entertainment one should step m on a refreshing party fike the at home of Mme. Lipa, wife of the counselor and charge d'affaires of Czechoslovakia Fri afternoon. Tt was like walking through a gar- den of flowers to step in from the street and find drawing rooms teeming with the atmosphere of a picturesque country where music and color mean so much. Mme. Lipa, who is the niece of President Masaryk, wore an ancient costume of her country rich in color and exquisite workmanship and Mme. Fisa, wife of the secretary of the lezation, who assisted her was also dressed in the costume of the Czechs. The decorations of the drawing rooms and even the tea table with its great varicty of highly colored dulcies and dainties was sufficiently different to call forth enthusiasm, Mrs. Dwight F.

UNDERWOOD Woodle Denby-Reec] Wedc‘;‘lg: Event of Yesterday, Brilliant Affair Ceremony at Washington Cathedral Witnessed by President and Mrs. Cool- idge and Other Notables. The President and Mrs. Coolidge attended the wedding yesterday after- noon of Miss Rosamond Reed, daugh- ter of Senator and Mrs. David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, to Mr. Charles Denby, jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Denby of this city. The cere- mony was performed at 4 o'clock In the Bethlehem Chapel of the Wash- ington Cathedral, Rev. Dr. Edwin J. Van Etten, rector of Calvary Church in Pittsburgh, Pa., officiating. Owing to the size of the quaint Gothic chapel, the company witness- ing the ceremony was limited, but it included the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes, the entire cabinet and their wives, several from the Supreme Court members, a number of diplo- mats, a large delegation from the Senate and lower house, young friends of the bride and bridegroom and many guests from other cities, most of them from Pittsburgh, the home of Sen- ator and Mrs. Reed. The silver vases on the altar were filled with Easter lilies, and palms were used at the chancel rail. The vested cholr of the Bethlehem Chapel sang as the wedding procession en- tered. Senator Reed escorted his daughter to the steps of the chancel, where they were met by the bridegroom and his best man, Mr. James Orr Denby, his brother, whose marriage to Miss Phyllis Cochran of Philadelphia took place a week ago. Miss Reed's wed- ding gown was fashioned of rich ivory satin and pointed d'angleterre lace. The bodice, made close fitting with an insert of the lace, had long fuil sieeves, and the skirt showed flounces of the lace. The train was of lace lined with sheer chiffon, and was covered with a full tulle veil held about her face with orange blossoms. The vell had been worn by her maternal grand- mother, Mrs.” Wilcox. A garland of orange blossoms fell from the waist line down the left side of the skirt, and she carried an ivory prayer book from which fell a shower of ordange blossoms. Miss Reed was given in marriage by her father and was attended by Miss Sarah Mellon, niece of the Secretary of the Treasury and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mellon of Pitts: burgh; Miss Lenore Scullin, Miss Vio- let Spencer and Miss Frances McKe ;ll girls with whom she made her de- ut. The bride’s attendants were in dress- es of yellow chiffon and their hats were of rough yellow straw. Their amber necklaces were given them by the bride and they carried bouquets of pansies. Mrs. Reed, one of the handsomest matrons in the Senate circle, wore a gown of black lace and a black velvet hat, while Mrs. Den- by, mother of the bridegroom, was in beige color lace and wore a hat of sil- ver and green. The st of ushers included Mr. Francis Barringer Brandon, M. Geof- frey 8. Smith and Mr. Philip Wallls of Philadelphia; Mr. Norman P. Davis, Mr. Leonard J. Cushing, Mr. Francis T. P. Plimpton, Mr. Robert I. Pow- ell and Mr. Robert Stevenson of New York; Mr. Adlai Stevenson of Chica- go; Mr. Willlam S. Wasserman of Whitemarsh, Pa., and Mr. David A. Reed and Mr. Benjamin Warder Thoron of Washington. After the ceremony a reception, to which a large additional company was Invited, was held at the home of the bride’s parents, 1706 Eighteenth street. The home was decorated with branches of pussy willow and for- sythia, with many vari-colored Spring flowers. Tall palms and feather ferns formed an effective - background for the receiving party. After the reception Mr. Denby and his bride left_for a wedding trip, Mrs. Denby wearing a traveling costume of beige crepe de chine with a coat to match and a smart felt hat of a cor- responding_tone. They have taken a house at Whitemarah, near Philadel- phia. Among the out-of-town guests were Gov. and Mrs. John 8. Fisher and their daughter, Miss Mary Fisher; the Attorney General of Pennsylvania and Mrs. H. H. Baldridge, the Chief Jus- tice of the State Supreme Court and Mrs. R. von Moschzisker, Mrs. T. A.

Envoy from Norway Is Prominent Figure In Diplomatic Life| Mr. Frederik Herman Gade, Minister of Brazil, Comes to Washington on ‘Special Mission. One of the most interesting diplo- mats recently assigned to Washing- ton, though is Mr. Frederik Herman Gade, weglan minister to Brazil. but at present representing his government at the American Capital. He came early in the new year to take up the negotiations in regard to an old claim which Norway holds against this Government, and associated with him in this matter is Mr. Wilhelm Morgensterne of the foreign office in Oslo, but well known in this country where he had been in the consular service also in the local legation. It is probable that these negotiations will continue for some time yet and Mr. Gade, his wife and daughter, Miss Alice Gade, have found a pleasant home in the Mayflower, while Mr. and Mrs. Morgensterne are at Wardman Park Hotel. In connection with Mr. Gade’s special mission to Washington in be- half of Norway, it is related as one of the unique happenings in di- plomacy that his only son is at pres- ent assigned to the American logation in Oslo. Mr. Gerhard Gade entered the forelgn service of this republic after having served three years as a Vi man before and during the World War, and had passed the requisite examinations at the State Depart- ment. Behind this lies the fact, that the present envoy from Oslo is the son of an American mother, Helen Allein of Cambridge, Mass, and that true to the traditions of her home, she had prevailed upon her husband to send the boy to Harvard after he had completed his preparatory studies in what was then Christiani and after getting his B. A. degree he continued in the law school and decided to try his fortune in Chicago. For eight years he practiced law in that city and be- came naturalized and maintained a home in Lake Forest. Here he married, in 1897, Miss Alice Garfield King, daughter' of Mr. and Mrs. Charies B. King of Chicago, and a King having been a Garfleld and a cousin of James Abram Garfield, twentieth president of the United State: Both the children of Mr. and Mrs. Gade were born in the Lake Forest home and he would no doubt have remained a subject of Uncle Sam, but for the fact that the dis solution of his country from alllance with Sweden, led to his being made consul-general of Norway in Chicago. From this time, the minister says, he felt the urge of the blood to return to his homeland, and this he did in 1910, became repatriated and at once entered the Norwegian foreign serv- ice. He served in varlous consular roles in this country and was at one time consul general of West. speclal commissioner to San Francisco at the time of the exposition, and from this post he went to Brazil, where he | has served continuously for almost 10 years. The American Ambassador to Rio, Mr. Edwin Vernon Morgan, was Mr. Gade's classmate in Harvard, and he is constantly meeting in Washington those with whom he studied in Cambridge or who were his friends in Chicago. Gerhard Gade, born in Lake Forest and still claiming it as his home, did not follow his father and mother to Oslo, but after completing his course in the Harvard Law School, he began practice in Chicago and remained there until he enlisted in the Navy as yeoman in 1916. He was stationed here in 1922 after he had been for two years at the legation at Riga. His intimate knowledge of the Norse tongue led to his appointment as secretary of legation in Oslo in 1925.
