Society Wedding At Noon Miss Rodgers Bride of Mr. Sweeney. Cere- mony at Cathedral. Two distinguished families were united today when Miss Alicia Meyer * Rodgers, daughter of Mrs. Phillip Owen Coffin and Capt. C. R. P. Rod- gers, U. S. N., became the bride of Mr. John F. Sweeney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Beil Sweeney. The cere- mony took place at noon in the Chapel of St. Joseph of Arimathea of the ‘Washington Cathedral, the Rev. Ed- ward Slater Dunlap officiating. The arrangements for the wedding were charming in simplicity, and only members of the two families witnessed the ceremony and attended the wed- ding breakfast which followed in the home of Mr, and Mrs. Coffin, on § street. The altar in the picturesque chapel had a simple arrangement of madonna lilies. The bride was escorted to the altar and given in marriage by her father. BShe was a lovely picture in a gown of imported ivory duchess lace, quite simply designed. buttoned down the front and trimmed with Cantu lace made especially for her at Lake Como, Italy. There were two points of this lace about the neckline and one point at each wrist, to form a lily effect. The dress fitted snugly and terminated in a circular train several yards in length. Her vell of tulle, flowing from a monk’s cap, reached to the waistline only. She carried lilies of the valley. Miss Virginia Rodgers, the bride's sister, a debutante of this season, was her only attendant. Her dress was of gold and white herringbone metal cloth, tailored and close fitting and made ankle length. The collar was also Dutch of self material, as was the belt, which was fastened by a ruby clip. She wore a gold mesh Juliet cap. Mr. Thomas Bell Sweeney, jr., was his brother's best man. Assisting the couple at the informal | reception which preceded the breakfast were their respective mothers, Mrs. Coffin wearing a gown of steel-gray | lame with a silver fox cape and g cor- sage bouquet of gardenias. Mrs. | Sweeney was in a gown of black vel- | vet with a cape of mink fur, and her | corsage bouquet was of orchids. | Mr, Sweeney and his charming bride left after the breakfast for a | | literary sorority. wedding trip, the bride wearing a be- coming black and white tweed suif with accessories to match. Mr. and | Mrs. Sweeney will make their home in Charles Town, W. Va. Among the out-of-town guests, all eonnections of the families, were Mr. George von L. Meyer of Boston, uncle | of the bride; Miss Eloise Meyer of | Lennox, Mr. Christopher Rodgers, i brother of the bride, who came from | his studies at St. George’s School; Mr. James Cameron, Miss Mary Cameron | of Harrisburg, Pa., and Mrs. William | Clark of Bernardsville. The bride is a granddaughter of Mrs. George von L. Meyer and the late Mr. Meyer, who served as Post- | master General and Secretary of the | Navy, and also United States Ambas- | sador to Italy. Miss Anna May Jenkins and Mr. William T. Gary were married Tues- day night at the National Baptist | Memorial Church by the Rev. Gove G. Johnson. ‘The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her brother, Mr. Benjamin J. Jenkins, wore & princess gown of trans- parent white velvet with a veil of tulle and carried a bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Attending her were Mrs. Dorothy McEwen, matron of honor; Mrs. Ruti Jenkins, Mrs. Adelaide Smith and Miss Thelma Quinn, bridesmaids. Mrs. Mc- Ewen wore green velvet and a hat with | a halo of tulle of the same shade as her gown and carried yellow chrysan- thefums tied with gold ribbons.
