SOCIETY _(Continued From Second Page) W. P. Herron, in Crawfordsville, Ind. Mrs. Fletcher Hostess To Large Company at Tea. Mrs. Henry Prather Fletcher, wife of the chairman of the Republican National Committee, entertained sev- eral hundred guests at a tea yester- day afternoon at the 1925 F Street Club, when it was clear to the minds of every one that Mrs. Fletcher’s long experience in the diplomatic corps in Chile, Beigium, Italy and other,coun- tries had added much to her accom- plishment as a hostess. Politicians, especially the Repub- lican Women'’s League, wives of diplo- mats and newspaper women mingled in lively conversation in an atmos- phere replete with domestic comfort— charming tea table, another table laid with punch bowls, glasses and tooth- some bits, open fires and flowers. Mrs. Fletcher wore a charming aft- ernoon costume of black, while Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg, who was teasingly referred to as a coming mistress of the White House, wore a tunic of sil- ver cloth over a black satin skirt, black hat, coat and gloves. Mme, de Laboulaye, Mme. Wadsted and Mme, Bostrom were among the guests from the diplomatic corps, while Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mrs. Clyde Fitch Kelly, Mrs. Lea, Mrs. Speel, Mrs. Mondell and other ironbound Re- publican women mingled freely in the company and assisted in entertain- ing other guests. Mrs. Robert D, Carey, Mrs. Harry Clay Ransley, Mrs. Colladay and others presided at the tea table, as- sisted betwen times by members of the Young Republican girls. Across the | hall from the drawing room where Mrs. Fletcher received, Mr. Fletcher, behind closed door, entertained a few gentlemen known in Republican poli- tics. Of interest in Washington is the marriage of Miss Ruth Elizabeth de Vane, daughter of the solicitor of the Federal Power Commission and Mrs. Dozier de Vane, to Mr. Duane B. Wilson of the United Press, formerly of Denver, Colo., where he was also associated with the United Press. The ceremony took place yesterday in the chapel of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo officiating. The bride and bridegroom dispensed with attendants, the arrangements for | the wedding being informal. After n[ reception in the home of the bride’s parents the couple left for a South- | ern wedding trip. The bride wore | a becoming crepe gown of blue with accessories to match. Her bouquet was of gardenias. The bride attended George Washington University. She s formerly of Florida. | | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
