President and First Lady Pay Honorto War Veterans At Charming Garden Party Outstanding’ Event of Week on White House Lawn—Washington Society Exhibits Pref- | erence for Outdoor Festivities. | | UNE, the busy month of brides, has this year becn more crowded | with weddings than Junes of other years. Not a few of the| brides and bridegrooms have been prominent in society herc-‘ and elsewhere, adding interest generally. During the last few weeks many of the weddings have taken place in charming sylvan | settings. Although entertaining has slackened since the recess of | Congress, the informal parties have been out-of-doors festivities when | the weather permitted. PRESIDENT AND MRS. HOOVER gave their first annual garden party for veterans Thursday, having been forced to postpone it at the last moment Wednesday because of wet grounds and threaten- ing skies. They proved themselves gracious hosts and made their several hundred guests feel doubly welcome when they wandered over the spacious lawn, stopping here and there to chat with groups of former soldiers and their nurses or aides. The Chief Executive was generous in the autographing of cards which the guests wore as a means of admissicn to the grounds, and Secretary Mellon followed his custom of giving his autograph to the veterans. The Secretary, though he arrived late, was met by Mrs. James J. Davis, wife of the Secretary of Labor, who wore her “Gray Lady’s” uniform, and im- mediately took him off to greet “some Pennsylvania boys” to whom she ministered through the afternoon. The only guests at the party in addition to the veterans, the aides and nurses were members of the cabinet and the “little cabinet” and the young ladies from the“ Veterans’ Bureau, who represented their respective States. xTh: last | ight organdie frocks with floppy | fi:ot:pto“r)r?ae::;d-gscf:g é}x]\ed:il!x:;!!loz’hmeug statees flying from their shoulders as a means of identification. | THOEE who have not started northward or Europeward for vaca- tions are enjoying the quiet of Midsummer in the National Cap- ital and are taking advantage of the dearth of entertainments to make the scores of interesting pilgrimages to nearby points of his- | toric interest. Virginia abounds in these “shrines” within a radius of 150 or 200 miles from the Capital, and many of these have been restored or are in the process of restoration through the efforts of | members of associations organized for that purpose. The opening | of the historic gardens in Virginia some weeks ago has stirred a general interest in these notable old places. Berkeley, on the James River, is one of these estates which abounds in historic interest, though it still is in the hands of private | owners. It was the scene Tuesday of the wedding of Miss Constance | Stirling Jamieson, daughter of Mrs. John Jamieson, to Mr. Robert | Allen Gamble. Berkeley was the birthplace of President William | Henry Harrison and the home of that signer of the Declaration of | Independence, Benjamin Harrison, whose namesake many years later was President of the United States. During the administration of this later Benjamin Harrison he made a pilgrimage to Berkeley and | was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. James Robert McKee. At that time the James River was plied by boats, running daily for | assengers and freight, but the landing was cn the ogposlte side of | rhe river from Berkeley and it was necessary for the then Chief Executive to be rowed across. Mrs. McKee, who now lives at Green- | wich, Conn.,, and is a frequent visitor in Washington, has used | Berkeley in naming her home at Greenwich, Conn., overlooking Long | Island Sound and with the family name of Mr. McKee the place is | known as Berkeley Lodge. NTERTAINING, what little there has been, has been informal and | for the most part out of doors. When bad weather or wet grounds forbade, the garden hosts have taken to roof gardens or served informal meals on the porches of country clubs. Many have taken their guests for long motor drives through the rolling country which surrounds Washington, to one or another of the many quaint and charming liftle tea houses which are to be found on all roads leading in and out of the National Capital. Washington residents are learning more and more each year how much beautiful scenery there is about them and how many cool and attractive “resorts” are near at hand. The Potomac River itself, beautiful on both sides from Great Falls to Chesapeake Bay, fairly teems with historic in- terest of Revolution and the Civil War, and reminds also of the; first settlers, even before the Revolution. THERE is a general revival of interest in water “sports” on the, Potomac, which a little more than a quarter of a century ago| (s fairly “alive” with small craft, and regattas were weekly oc- cuyrences from early Summer until the Autumn. A drive about East Poaymac Park or across the Highway Bridge to Virginia gives a small " idea’ &f how much “traffic” there is on the river and only in bad weather’when the boats are “in,” could a fair estimate be made. It is hoped that the President Cup races will be run off Patomac Park again this fyear and there are many owners of motor boats already pregarlng or the big event and are taking part in the lesser affairs each week until Labor day, which will be carly this year, falling on September 2. 'I'HE final week in June brought forth several large weddings of | unusual interest socially. Two of the important weddings took place yesterday in the marriage of Miss Mary Frederica Devereux and Lieut. Raymond Fowler Crist, U. 8. M. C,, and Miss Ruth Yarnell | and Lieut. John Sylvester. Miss Devereux and Lieut. Crist were) wedded in the lovely garden of Portledge. the charming suburban home of the bride’s parents, Dr. and Mrs, John Ryan Devereux, and Miss Yarnell and Lieut.
