Mrs. Richard Coke Marshall, 3d, sister of the bride, was the matron of honor and only attendant of the bride.

Imperial liussia Revived Again at Ball Last Night 'HE brilliant imperial regime of eighteenth century Russia was re- vived in part last evening at the ninth annual ball at the Plaza for Russian welfare funds. The court of Empress Catherine of Russia was chosen as the theme for a& pageant in which many well-known men and women | represented their ancestors and other characters in history. The part of Catherine was taken by the Grand Duchess Marie, her great - great granddaughter. Miss Barbara Korff, daughter of the Baron= an ancestress, | was lady-in-waiting in the court of | Catherine. Baron Serge Korff, her | brother, represented the Baron Korfl of the days of Catherine. The proceeds of the ball went to | the Russian Students’ fund and the | Russian Alumni and Students’ Asso- ciation. Many dinners were given preceding the ball.

By the Way— Beth Blaine | MORS and more, Washingtgn is becoming a mecca for interesting visitors | who come to America for the first time. Not so long ago they landed ‘in New York and remained there and, if time permitted, they made a quick | dash to California to see the wonders of Holiywood—for no matter the age, | nationality, or type of foreign visitor, Hollywood always intrigues them. Washington, however, has taken its rightful place now as one of the important capitals of the world, with its beautiful buildings and its cosmopolitan society. As our Ambassadors and members of the State Department retire, they are returning to Washington to live. They own some of the most beautiful houses in the city. Just to mention a few at random—there is Dumbarton Oaks, the magnificent estate in the heart of Georgetown, of the Robert Woods Blisses, our one-time Am- bassador to the Argentine. Mrs. Bliss’ borwood and the terrace after terrace of sunken gardens, rank among the finest in America. Their swimming pool and tennis court are a rendevous for smart Washing- tonians during the Summer months, Near néighbors at Evermay are the Lammot Belins, our jormer Ambassador to Poland. Their equally beautiful gardens and fine old house is so situated that it commands a superd view of the city. The Belins divide their time between Evermay and their beautiful chateau in Northern France and they spend part of the Summer in Delaware, jor Mr. Belin belongs to the interesting Du Pont family. A house that has just been completed on Massachusetts avenue, and is one of the most imposing in Washington, is that of the Alanson Houghtons, our former Ambassador to the Court of St. James. We are all hoping the Houghtons will spend a great deal of time in Washington. A beautiful home filled with treasures of the world, also with a lovely garden, is that of the Irwin Laughlins, our former Ambassador to Spain. Gertrude Laughlin, theip delightful daughter, made her debut two seasons ago. Needless to say, the debut ball they gave was the smartest in many years. One of the most beloved couples in all of Washingten are the Lawrence Townsends. Both are great linguists and, of course, Mrs. Townsend is one of the outstanding leaders in the musical world not only of Washington but the United States. Her Wednesday morning concerts at the Mayflower are famous. From the interesting days when Mr. Townsend was our Minister to Belgium, Minister | to Portugal and our Counselor to Austria, the Townsends have continued their friendship with a great many of the crowned heads of Europe. The Duke of Connaught is a very close friend with whom they correspond regularly. Mrs. George T. Marye has lived in Washington for many years. Her husband, who died several years ago, was our last Ambassador to the Imperial Court of Russia. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight F. Davis have leased the Ray Baker house on For Hall road. The marriage of Mrs. Charles H. Sabin to Mr. Davis took place in May and their many friends are s0 glad they will live here. Mr. Davis was our Governor General to the Philippines, where he did a splendid job and where he was ably assisted by his three lovely daughters. The Walter Edges, our former Ambassa- dor to France, have a beautiful town house on Eighteenth street where they entertain delightfully. The Walter Schoellkopfs—present Counselor in our Embassy in Madrid, at least when we have an embassy there— own one of the “treasure” houses of Washington—large brick Georgian, period house—which juts out into Rock Creek Park and one could imagine that they were miles in the country. Mentioning these few examples give an idea of the charm Wash- ington possesses—that it should lure cosmopolites who could select from the world at large—a place to live and they choose Washington. It is the same charm that attracts so many foreign visitors to spend es much time as possible in our Capital.
