By the Way— (Continued From Third Page.) been present at all the important ceremonies of the Hill and Barnett families for some 25 years and is a favorite with them. At the other end of the dining room a buffet fairly groaned with the weight of the Virginia hams and other delicacies. The wedding cake, a lovely tiered model, held the emblem of the Marine Corps done in bronze and the slogan, “Semper Fidelis,” and was cut by the bride with her hus- band’s sword. Mrs. Barnett's two pekingese dogs recently have been blessed «ith four adorable fluffy puppies who were put in a pen for safe keeping, but somehow, two of them got out and appeared during the wedding ceremony down in the garden and seemed to enjoy it all as much as the assembled “invited” guests. The Marine hymn, “From the Halls of Monte Zuma,” was, to put it in the words of one of the guests, about worn to a frazzle. It was played upon every possible occasion during the afternoon. All in all it was a lovely wedding and the bride herself must have thought so too for she did not depart until after seven o'clock. Her attendants being married, Frances did not throw her bouquet away and probably was delighted not to have to for it was a beauty. * ok ok ok A LETTER from Long Island leads us to believe that the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills must have been at its best last week while the national championship matches were in session. Over the horseshoe stadium, which is never large enough for the last two days of the tournament, were flying the flags of the com- peting nations and for the first time the red, white and black swastika was in evidence, while far below her contender, Baron Gottfried von Cramm made a glorious attempt to defeat red- headed Donald Budge. Between the games the assembled throng flocked down the steps to parade beneath the stands consuming hot dogs and cooling drinks and among Washington’s younger set encountered was Nancy Leiter, who followed the prevailing Jashion with a dark dress, and the vom Roth twins. “Balancing edibles,” writes our informant, “we met Albert Cox and Ed Becker, while the backs of Harold de Voe, Bill Blum and Jock McLean in the latest head gear of coconut straw from Nassau, with bands of cotton batik, disappeared around a corner. When Mlle. Jedrzejowska, the Polish champion, played the finals versus the victorious Senorita Lizana of Chile we saw the Polish Charge d’Affaires, Mr. Wankowicz, with Senor Grez, Chilean Consul of New York.” “Back to the club house after the matches,” the letter con- tiues, “we ran into Mary Cootes, whose accomplishments with the | 8 racquet again brought her to the hallowed ground; Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Baker, who have just returned from touring England in their station wagon, and many other friends from other cities.” All of this makes us wish more and more that we had been able to accept a very nice invitation to fly up«to Forest Hills for the tennis—but we had “other fish to fry” right here in Wash- ington! her sister, Miss Alta Morris, of Rock- ville, Md.
