Peace Bridge Dedication | As Most Noteworthy Event Celebrities of Two Nations Unite Today in Com- memorating Century of Friendship Between United States and Canada. ASHINGTON society will be keenly interested in the ceremony at Buffalo today which will dedicate the Peace Bridge, connect- ing the United States and Canada, and which commemorates the 100 years of peace between this country and the Dominion. The Vice President and Mrs. Dawes went from their Evanston home to Buffalo yesterday and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Baird, and_the Sec- . retary of State and Mrs. Kellogg are being entertained by Miss Jeanie W. , Pratt during their brief stay. Others of particular interest to Washington who are attending the cercmony include the Prince of Wales, the premier . of England, the Hon. Stanley Baldwin, an old acquaintance of Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg; the Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard, who are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Butler in Buffalo; ; the premier of Canada, Mr. W. L. McKenzie King; the Minister-of Canada | and Mrs. Vincent Massey and the United States Minister to Canada, Mr. + William Phillips. The ceremony will be an impressive one, and there will | be a number of small and informal parties for the visitors, as well as the larger official functions. SRR T resorts on the East coast are gay with entertainments, some small and informal, others of the proportions of a Washington Mid- winter season. Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, at Bar Harbor, has been hostess { frequently this Summer, and Mrs. Gibson Pnhnesmck,_ as well as Mr. and Mrs. Woodbury Blair, are representing Washington brilliantly at Newport. . The region near Williamstown, Mass., where so many from lhve diplomatic i and official circles are attending the Institute of Politics at Williams Col- | lege, has scemed almost like a_“little Washington.” Saratoga Springs has a large colony of Washingtonians, who are there for the races, mvc]udmg Admiral and Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, Mr. and Mrs. William F. R. Hitt (nee Elkins), Mr. and Mrs. Edward Beale McLean and Mrs. George Mesta, who is this week entertaining a large house party for the races. Then, too, slipping off from the whirl of gayety found at the smart resorts, not a few of the popular members of the younger set of the Capital are competing for laurels in the sport world. Last week Miss Victoria Tytus, daughter of Mrs. Tytus McLennan, who is summering at Tyringham. Mass., and Miss Olivia Phelps Stokes, daughter of Canon and Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes, entered the annual invitation women's tennis tournament at the Stockbridge Club, winning the first prize in the doubles. Miss Caro- line Chamberlain, daughter of Maj. Gen. John L. Chamberlain, was one of the outstanding playcrs in the women’s tennis tournament at the Point Judith Country Club, Narragansett Picr, R. L. i HE many France of Mme. Hauge, wife of the late former Minister of Norw M. Christian Hauge, was a shock to her scores of friends here. She be greatly missed throughout the coming season in Washington, where she has been a leader in a circle of charming hostesses. i FT'HE news of the death Thursday in HE changes in the diplomatic service of this country affect Washington greatly, bringing old iriends hack or separating friends just made. Among the recent changes which directly hit Washington society are the transfer of Mr. Joseph C. Grew from the position of Undersecretary of ! State to Ambassador to Turkey and the moving of Mr. Joseph Wholean of the Commerce Department from Rome to Milan, Italy. Mr. and Mrs. Wholean arg spending their Summer vacation with Mrs. Wholean’s grand- mother, Mrs. John B. Henderson, at Bar Harbor. The confirmation of the appointment of Mr. Jay Pierrepont Moffat as first secrctary to the United States legation at Berne, Switzerland, seems | quite fortunate for his young bride, formerly Miss Lilia Cabot Grew, | daughter of the recently appointed Ambassador to Turkey and Mrs. Joseph C. Grew, inasmuch as her father was one-time minister to that country and she will find many old friends of her family as well as childhood playmates of hers there. A charming note in the arrangements of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Moffat, which took place July 28 in the lovely gardens of the Summer home of the bride’s parents at Hancock, N. H, under a bower of silver birch trees, was the wearing by the bride of an exquisite rose point lace veil. which has been worn by generations of brides in Mr, Moffat's family. Mrs. Moffat's wedding gown _ was fashioned of sheer white organdic and her attendants, who included her sisters—Miss Anita Clark Grew, Miss Elizabeth Sturgis Grew—and Miss Louise Spencer, Miss Vivian Spencer and Miss Katharine Wilkins, schoolmates of the bride at Holton Arms, were in Summery frocks of pink organdie. Also in the procession was a tiny flower girl, Margaret Rutherford White, daughter of Mrs. John White of Lenox. OF much importance was the marriage Friday of Mrs. Aida de Acosta Root of New York, to Col. Henry S. Breckinridae, former Assistant Secretarv of War. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John C. Palmer, in the Washington Heights Presbyterian Church and was witnessed by only two close friends of the couple.
