President Hoover to Honor President-Elect of Brazil, WhoWill BeNation’s Guest| Distingu;shed Visitor Will Be Entertained at the White House and by Secretary Stimson. Special Society Notes. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ITH Mrs. Hoover resting in the President’s camp in the mountains of Virginia for an indefinite period and Miss Mary Randolph, her official social secretary, permanently resigned from her position, it looks very much like a long social drought in Washington, at least so far as the White House is concerned. However, the President will entertain at a formal dinneri ‘Thursday night at 8 o’clock in honor of the President-elect of Brazil, Senhor Julio Prespas, whose coming Wednesday evening will create quite a little ripple on the social waters, but of a strictly masculine nature. President Hoover in return will be the guest of honor at the dinner which the Ambassador of Brazil, Senhor S. Gurgel do ra.ral, will give Saturday night in the Pan-American Union Build- g for the distinguished visitor. NOR will hospitality stop with these important events, for the LN Secretary of State, Mr. Stimson, will entertain the President-elect of Brazil Friday evening in the comfortable environs of Woodley, his rather secluded estate in the city. The more prompt return of visits between the pan-American countries are duly appreciated, for in former years periods of such long duration would elapse that when we heard of a dignitary coming as the guest of the Nation we had fo guess what it was all about. o the Caifltal one had only to meet the large concourse of guests assembled at the churches and wedding receptions of thes brides of yesterday afternoon. The Hagner—Roebling wedding in St. Jchn’s, on Lafayette Square, carried with it an atmosphere of old Washington society, while the Holbrook—Herr wedding in Bethlehem Chapel was the very breath of military pomp and ceremony. The white military uniforms of Summer, the arch of swords under which the bridal party passed, cutting the cake with the bridegroom’s sword and r traditions of the military service gave just the right suggestion he other event. White House aides gave a bit of a national osphere to the latter wedding, and there were fully 500 to greet the bride and bridegroom in the reception at the War College. THI wedding of Miss Alice Huston and Mr. Fulton Lewis June 28, like many other approaching nuptial events, calls for quite a flurry of entertaining among the bride’s friends. Miss Marian Jardine will entertain 50 guests at the ChevK Chase Club Tuesday night for Miss Huston and Mr. Lewis, and there has been entertaining for Miss Winifred West, whose marriage to Mr. George Graves, United States vice consul at Hankow, China, will take place tomorrow after- noon in the bride’s home, on R street. THER! is a decided suggestion of early Virginia history in the wedding of Miss Frances Scott Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bcott Carter (Mrs. Carter was Mary Randolph), to Mr. Rol Guthrie Johnston, son of Rev. Dr. Robert Johnston, rector of 8t. Johirs Church, (Continued on Page 3, lumn 3.)

Brilliant Weddings Grace Capital Society Calendar Military Tinge Given Nuptial Ceremony at Beth-| lehem Chapel Yesterday—Other Note- worthy Events in June Record. Military pomp and ceremony pre- vailed at the wedding yesterday after- noon of Miss Helen Hoyle Herr, daugh- ter of Lieut. Col. and Mrs. John Knowles Herr, to Lieut. Willard A. Holbrook, jr., son of Maj. Gen. Willard A. Holbrook. The ceremony was performed at 4 o’clock, in the Bethlehem Chapel of the ‘Washington Cathedral, the Rev. Ray- mond Lee Wolven officiating. As the large and distinguished company was assembling in the chapel, an effective program of nuptial selections was given by the organist of the cathedral. The gold vases on the altar were filled will yellow roses and blue delphinium, carrying out the color scheme of the wedding. The bride was escorted to the altar by her father, who, like the best man and ushers, wore his white uniform. Col. Herr gave his daughter in marriage. The bride was a lovely picture in her wedding gown of traditional bridal satin, fashioned along princess lines, with the skirt ending in a court train. Appliques of exquisite duchesse and point laces, heirlooms, having been worn by her grandmother and mother before her at their weddings, added to the beauty of her gown. The long tulle veil fell from a band of the lace and was caught by orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Miss Fanny de Russy Herr, was maid of honor for her sister, wearing a gown of light blue lace and tulle with a horse hair hat to match and she car- ried a large bouquet of yellow roses and blue delphinium. ‘The two little flower girls were Miss Josephine Hoyle Taulbee,. daughter of Lieut. Col. and Joseph F. Taulbee, and Miss Helen * e, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Marks Devine of Fort Myer, Va. They wore frocks of yellow organdy, with bonnets to match and carried old-fashioned nosegays of yel- low roses and forget-me-nots. Lieut. Hugh B. Waddell, aide of Gen. Charles P. Summerall, chief of staff, was best man and the ushers selected were Capt. Marks Devine, Lieut. Charles P. Summerall, jr.; Lieut. Edmund Sear- by of Fort Sill, Okla.; Lieut. Donald W. Sawtelle, Lieut. Bosserman and Lieut. Thomas Robinson of Fort Myer. On leaving the chapel for the Offi- cers’ Club at the Army War College, where & reception was held, the bridal couple walked under an arch of crossed sabers formed by the men in the wed- ding party. ‘There were about 500 guests at the reception, representative of official and resident society as well as a large con- tingent from the “service set.” The club was decorated with quanti- ties of cut flowers and the table had a centerpiece of yellow roses and blue delphinium. The receiving party stood before & screen of yellow gladioli, palms and ferns. The parents of the bride were assisted in receiving by Gen. Hol- brook and Mrs. David S. Rumbough, aunt of the bridegroom. Alternating at the tea table were Mrs. Charles P. Summerall, Mrs. Willlam D. Connor, Mrs. Edward L. King, Mrs. Fred W. Sladen, Mrs, David S.
