B—-2 »# SOCIETY. Al Fresco Wedding in - Garden of Secretary And Mrs. Roper Today Miss Grace Roper Bride of Dr. Frank Bohn, Ceremony Taking Place on Grassy Terrace Overlooking Glen. Not often in Washington is there a wedding of as much genuine interest as the one which will take place this afternoon in the charming garden of Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Daniel C. Roper. The bride, Miss Grace Roper, was born in the Capital and has lived here continuously since her childhood and has endeared her- self to a host of friends in every circle of soclety in the city. While she has enjoyed the social festivities, her leaning to the more serious affairs has been quite evident. Last year she was the leading spirit in ‘Town Hall” and it was during her office as associ- ate director of the organization thai Dr. Frank Bohn, the bridegroom of today, was one of the speakers. Only the members of the cabinet and the bride's most intimate friends will witness the wedding of Miss Roper and Dr. Bohn, which will be performed at 5 o'clock by the Rev. Harry Everett of Jersey City and Mountain Lakss, N. J, an old friend of the bridegroom. The engagement and wedding plans of the popular cabinet girl wers made known only a little more than a week ago, and as Mrs. Roosevelt had an | engagement out of the city already made, she will not be in the company at the wedding. She is sending Miss Roper a plece of furniture made at | her Valkill factory for her wedding gift. The bride’s wish for simplicity is being adhered to in the arrangements for the wedding. She will enter the garden with her father and walk to | an improvised prieu dieu arranged before a cluster of dogwood trees. There will be no attendants and the gown she has chosen for her wed- ding is of formal pattern of ice blue lace designed on the long straight lines which are so becoming to the | bride. The neckline is square and | the sleeves fall just below the elbows. | The skirt drops into a graceful sweep -at the back. With this Miss Roper will wear a picture hat of pink horse- hair braid trimmed with pink velvet, the velvet corresponding to the clus- ter of flowers at the neckline in the | front of the gown. She will carry del- phinium and roses to blend with the colors of her ensemble, Secretary Roper will give his daugh- ter in marriage and escorting guests to the garden will be the bride’s two brothers, Mr. Richard Frederick Roper and Lieut. Harry McK. Roper. In addition to the blooming flowers “in the garden there are graceful stan- *dards of white flowers arranged about “the greensward, and in the house a profusion of white and pink peonies. A string orchestra under the direction of Mr. Sidney Seidenman will play softly during the ceremony and for the reception for those at the wedding which follows. Mrs. Roper, who will receive with | the couple, will wear a gown of peach lace made with a jacket, a black hat and a shoulder cluster of orchids. Mrs. David R. Coker, sister of the bride, who came from her home in South Carolina for the wedding, will wear pink lace with a white hat and white orchids. Perhaps the most “thrilled” of the guests will be the three young nieces of the bride, Martha, Mary and Caro- line Coker, who came with their mother from South Carolina to at- tend the wedding of their aunt. They ‘will make a charming picture in their quaint net frocks fashioned with skirts to their ankles and bodices which have a drop shoulder effect and & bouquet of bright artificial flowers in the front of the neckline. Martha's dress is of yellow with which she will wear & large leghorn picture hat; her sister Mary will be in peach color and a stiff white net hat, and Caroline in blue with a stiff yellow net picture hat. The couple will leave Washington after the reception for New York pre- paratory to sailing Wednesday on the Washington of the United States lines for three months’ tour of Austria and ‘Germany. The bride’s going away cos- tume is a smart dress suit of navy blue sheer, the coat trimmed with handsome gray fox fur. She wore navy blue slippers and a gray hat which matched the fur. Dr. Boha and his bride will make their home in Washington. Miss Roper was graduated from Vassar College in 1917 and received her master’s degree in economics and international relations last year from the American University. She pre- viously had spent two Summers work- ing toward her master’s at the Uni- versity of Southern California. Miss Roper has been associated with the International Relations Division of the United States Tariff Commission for about 10 years. She is a specialist in Canadian and British Empire tariff and trade relations. She is a granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Wesley Roper of Marlboro County, 8. C., and of the late Mr. and Mrs. William N. McKen- gie of Gibson, N. C. Dr. Bohn, who has a residence at 844 West One Hundred and Tenth street in New York City, is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Charles Bohn of Cuyahoga County Ohio. He ‘was graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College and has done post-graduate » work at Michigan, Wisconsin and Co- lumbia Universities. He received his Ph. D. degree from the University of Michigan in 1904.

As only the most intimate friends of the hride will be in attendance at the wedding, the Secretary and Mrs. Roper thoughtfully gave a reception yesterday afternoon for their daugh- ter and her flance, when they in- vited their friends to meet the bride and bridegroom-elect. As the guests entered the garden yesterday they were greeted by Mrs. Roper, the bride-elect and Dr. Bohn. Mrs. Roper had on a flesh-tinted lace gown, which was fashioned on long lines. Her hat was of white straw and was trimmed with white flowers and her corsage bouquet was of deep purple orchids. Her daughter chose a lace gown in a deeper shade of pink than her mother’s and a picture hat of rough traw to match. She carried an old-fashioned bouquet of pink roses and blue delphinium tied with pink and blue ribbon. The Secretary mingled with his guests during the reception. Many of the members of diplo- matic, officlal and residential circles who are still in Washington were present. The Misses vom Rath Presented Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Willem vom Rath of New York presented their twin daugh- ters, Miss Cecelia vom Rath and Miss Marie vom Rath to society Saturday evening at a dinner dance at the Woman's National Golf and Tennis Long Island.
