Weddings Hold Spotlight as the Social Season D By the Way— Beth Blaine IF ANYONE had asked us to carry even ten lines on the Coronation of their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth, the an- swer would have been snapped back quick as a flash, “my no, it’s much too late for that now.” However, Margot Garrett's letter which we received just the other day, is too good for us to keep to ourselves. The fair Margot, daughter of the George Angus Gar- retts, has a very ready hand with the pen and we know that her many friends, to whom she had not had time to write, will enjoy her personal experiences in London on that great day! Incidentally, Anita, to whom she refers, is Mrs. Garrett’s sister, Mrs. Alasdair Maclean who visited here last winter. * X ok ok “So much has happened since I last wrote; the only thing to do is to pick out the big points—so here goes! “Coronation: Such a big thing that it took one’s breath away— I can't agree that it was ‘dimmed’ by Windsor’s ghost; George and Elizabeth, hitherto not so frightfully known to the ‘front populaire’ have been swooped up in such a burst of propaganda—pictures, stories, newsreels—that the people have been carried away with enthusiasm at the new angles presented. The Coronation in itself was a potent dose of concentrated emotion, that was administered in increasing quantities for three weeks, beginning with the un- folding splendor of decorations—Bond Street transformed into a mediaeval blaze of banners, the Mall brilliant with venetian stand- ards, Regent Street lighted with torches at night—the whole of London changing from day to day; its ordinary gray monotone blossoming into blue and gold and scarlet and sflver. The old buildings, usually dark shadows at night, shining with an almost unworldly radiance under floodlighting—they reminded me of Rome when we were there—but Italian celebrations aren’t surpris- ing—this was, somehow. London in party dress was over-powering. “Day after day new brilliance showed. Spontaneous excitement swelled to a crescendo! The streets were filled with gaping crowds—the ‘man of England’ put aside his daily work, care and worries and qgot an eyeful of the world passing by. ‘Coo er! ’ere’s fun!” The Australians in feathered hats ‘ strolled by; five Rolls Royces in a row stopped for a traffic light and one glimpsed the jewels, furs, top hats and monocles inside—every third person on Bond Street had a foreign ac- cent; the shops had signs ‘Ici on parle Francais’ and even Chinese scribbling! Every day some new Royalty would arrive and create a lot of discussion; the crowds peered through Buckingham Palace gates for hours in hopes of seeing one of ‘The Famous. “When the eve of the Coronation came it was warm and limpid. The Little Man of England and his wife and six children took their rugs and sandwiches and periscopes and mackintoshes and camped on the curb. It was impressive to see those cheerful, patient thou- sands chatting with each other, laughing and singing as though sitting camped in one spot for 18 hours was an ordinary matter— if one was waiting to ‘see 'is Majesty g0 by’. “We. of course, behaved likegbloated plutocrats and lolled around in Wanamaker’s office—eéating delicious food, drinking champagne, sleeping, playing backgammon, nonchalantly leaning out of the window till two o’clock. I thought, ‘those people in the street must dislike us’ and then realized just what was the keynote of the whole affair. Nobody really cared if anyone else was a bit higher up in a building or who they were—everyone felt that, wherever they were, they were privileged to be there—and all were seeing the same thing. “You've probably seen endless pictures of the procession—so it suffices to say that from a psychological point of view the whole thing was perfect—working from exciting uniforms up to glamor- ous ones, from mere army units to Indian princes, from Earls and Duchesses to the final climax—the gold coach! Honestly, the most terrific tide of emotion you've ever seen got hold of the crowds and the spontaneous singing of God Save the King sent a catch to everyone’s throat; as the anthem swelled from block to block, you had only to glance at the faces to see smiles and tears blending with complete unconsciousness. “That night we danced at the Carlton; Mervyn Sandys ‘hauled’ me and we had a marvelous time, ending up with eight of us in a taxi, with Michael Noble (Lady Noble’s son— she’s the great Pacifist and he’s a diplomat en route to Wash. D. C.) on the roof, all yelling our heads off and Anita looking so pretty in a red cloak with hood. and blowing a horn; and if anyone can blow a horn and still look pretty, they’re good! “A few days later was the Naval Review—Nora and the Ralli’s and some other people and I went in the cruiser, the H.M.S. Curlew. We had lunch on board and saw the review beautifully then I went back with Jane and had dinner with some friends of hers, and we | went to see the fireworks—gosh, what a display! Showers of gold from all the ships, and a grand finale of rockets splashing red, white and blue all over the sky, reflecting in the water. Final y the stars were drowned in the bay and there remained the fleet of ships outlined in tiny lights, with sailors holding blazing torches aloft. ‘With one accord, they threw the torches intp the bay as a salute— and it was over.” SOCIETY raws to | MISS MARIE ROSE SAAL, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Randolph Saal, whose engagement to Mr. Horace I. Pack of Washington has been announced. The wedding will take place next Winter. Mr. Pack is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Pack. Miss Watkins to Wed Mr. Allen July 10 The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Hope Watkins of Somerset, Md., to Mr. Robert N.

On Thursday she was honor guest at a luncheon given by Miss Patty Morris of Bethesda at Olney Inn, near Sandy Spring. The luncheon was held in the Maryland room at Olney, whose walls tell the story in picture of Maryland's history, from the land- ing of the Calverts to the present time. The long lunch table where the guests were seated was decorated with a graceful arrangement of daisies and gypsophelia, and the little favors placed at each plate carried out the same white and gold color scheme.
