Capital Society, in Unison With the Official Circle, Paid Honor to Admiral Byrd Noted Antarctic Explorer Greeted as Hero by Entire City—Special Events of Week Past and Prospective. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. REAT events happened in Washington last week, chief amon; them the arrival and entertainment of Rear Admln’l Byrd, the thrilling climax to entertainment being the meet- ing in the Auditorium, when the President presented the admiral with the medal from the National Geographic Society. ‘While in Washington Admiral Byrd was the guest of the society, which gave a memorable luncheon in his honor at the Willard Hotel, while the hero’s mother and wife were being quietly entertained by Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, wife of the president of the Geographic | Society. FOLLOWING the ceremonies and before the presentation of the| .- wonderful moving picture exhibition, the President repaired to his box, on one side of the stage, while on the opposite side of the Auditorium a very domestic scene was enacted. Vice President Curtis having with him in his box, besides his official hostess, Mrs. Gann, his daughter, Mrs. Charles P. George, and her two children. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, was with them, as was Mr. Gann, the Vice President’s brother-in-law. JLITICS just will get mixed up with Cupid’s affairs in June, and ‘Wednesday Representative Frank Murphy of Ohio was wed to Mrs, Marie Williams Clerk, and Senator and Mrs. Smith W. Brook- hart were called upon to attend the marriage of their son, Mr. Smith 'W. Brookhart, jr., to Miss Elizabeth Waller. While the former wed- ding was a quiet home affair, the latter was attended by a number of the Senator’s colleagues and friends, and there were two mem- bers of his family in the wedding party besides the bridegroom—Miss Florence Brookhart, a bridesmaid, and Mr, C. E. Brookhart, an usher. SATURDAY North and South, Republican, and Democrat, will meet in numbers, invited for the wedding 9! Miss Alice Huston, daugh- ter of Mr. Claudius Huston, chairman ‘of the Republican national' committee, and Mr. Fulton Lewis, a well born young man without a ecountry—or at least without a vote, as he belongs to thm%(:m, This is the wedding for which it s said 2,000 invitations have been issued. 188 MARJORIE MONDELL, daughter of Mr. and: Mrs. Frank Mondell of Newcastle, Wyo., one-time Republican leader of the House and head of the speakers’ bureau, is In a few days to wed Mr. Alfons Beaumont Landa. While not listed as important as the wedding of her sister, Miss Dorothy Mondell, to Mr. Alexander Gregg in Newcastle a few years ago, when the President and Mrs. Coolidge | traveled from their Summer lodge to attend, still it will be a fash- | jonable affair. IT 18 well for aquatic lovers that George Washington discovered the beauties of the Potomac and lotated the Capital on its banks, for, while the famous old Mayflower, for several administrations used as the President’s yacht, has gone its way, there are many boats afloat on the waters. To be sure, most of the larger ones are Gov- ernment boats, manned, equipped and run at Government expense, but the pastime is all the more pleasant. Maj. Gen. and Mrs. John L. Dewitt have commandeered the Army boat which plies between the Capital and Fort Washington and tonight will entertain a gay young party for Miss Lillian Whiteside, daughter of Col. and Mrs. Warren Whiteside, whose marriage to Lieut. Wellington will take place in a week. Supper will be served on hoard. HILE boats on the Potomac are becoming almost as thick as W automobiles on the streets, there are few of the thousands of tourists pouring into the Capital who miss the hollyhock drive on the rim of the river around Potomac Park. There are thousands of these old-fashioned beauties in bloom, while there is an ever-rotating crop of other blossoms growing beside the drive. . - 23s jr, and the ushers selected include Mr. Five Sisters Attending I?mfi ‘Shenacr Kot Sl 1 a.; ", lam ler imon Bride of June 28 University of Virginia, Mr. Bruce Cov- of interest in Washington | ington Gunnell of Wi Mr. Saturday, June 28, in | Arthur C.
