The Rev. Raphael H. Miller, pastor of the National City Christian Church, officiated. The fireplace was banked with fern and above it was a long mantelpiece of pastel spring flowers with trail- ferns, making an ideal setting for the wedding. Mrs. Marcia A. Cool played the “Wedding March” from “Lohengrin.” The bride wore a street length gown of powder blue sheer, made with fitted bodice having short sleeves and a shirred front with square neck line, and a full skirt. She carried a shower bouquet of Johanna Hill roses and lilies of the valley and a bandeau on her hair of matching flowers. Mr. Evans gave his daughter in marriage. Miss Jean Thomas, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Earl Thomas, was her maid of honor. She wore a gown of shell pink sheer made with a fitted bodice and full skirt with a bolero and carried a bouquet of pink roses and blue delphinum. The best man was Mr. Eugene M. Evans, brother of the bride. A reception was given for about 50 guests. Mrs. Evans wore a gown of navy blue sheer with a corsage of talisman roses. Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Evans of Falmouth, Mass., grandparents of the bride, were also present. Later Mr. and Mrs. Diehl went to their apartment in Silver Spring, where they will be at home to their friends after May 15. By the Way— Beth Blain ‘Warrenton week end in retrospect: Cocktails first at the Raymond McGraths’ charming house, where we saw the Robert Winmills, the Wil- liam Doellers, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gould, Griffith Warfield, Mr. and Mrs. ‘William Boyer of Detroit (she is & sister of Pred Alger), Edward Gardner, the George Cuttings and various others. On to dinner at Mrs. Stewart Spillman’s lovely house, with music before, during and after dinner, and loads of attrastive people, including the Norman Whitehouses of New York and Newport, George Hamilton of Palm Beach and New York, the Frederick Algers, Tinsley Garnett, James Braden, Mrs, Harold Sims, Jerry ‘Webb, Comdr. Willlam D, Thomas, the Amory Carharts and Mr, and Mrs, William Doeller. After dinner there was a pool for the gold cup, with, of course, the favorite, Black Sweep, bringing the biggest price of the evening and bought by the owner, pretty Mrs. Frank Gould. Saturday the big day turged out to be rainy and cold, but despite _the gray and cloudy skies every one seemed in the best of spirits and well fortified with steaming hot lunch—the Carharts, the George Cuttings and various others had entertained beforehand. After the races we had cocktails at the William Streetts—he is the trainer of Mrs. Gould's Black Sweep—and both Mr, Streett and Mrs. Gould were very excited by the results of the afternoon. Betsy Gould, by the way, confessed to us that she never could bear to watch her own horses race and always turned her back—so that several friends had to give her the good news that her horse had won for the third consecutive year, thereby giving her the gold cup for keeps. Also entertaining at cocktails after the races were the Sterling Larrabees, who had a large group of friends at beautiful Oakwood. Mrs. Clark Baldwin, the Art Richmonds of Boston, Mrs. Harold Hinton, Harold Fangboner, the E, Kenneth Jenkins, Franklin Roosevelt, jr., Mary Louise Marsh, and various others dropped in and stayed on and on until almost time for dinner and the Hunt Ball at the North Wales Club. Nancy Leiter, we understand, had taken over the entire club for the week end, so Gerty Webb and Audrey Campbell, not to be outdone, rented a house right next to the club, where they entertaind Benjamin Plunkett and Mrs. George Eustts. The Hunt Ball was very gala with toasts to the Streets™and the Goulds and the handsome “Gold Cup” passed from table to table so that every one could have a sip of champagne from it. Keith Officer, Col. Robert Olds, Arthur Bradley Campbell, Mrs. William Mann, the George Garretts, the Blaise de Sibours, and countless others helped make the party a good one and yesterday the Virginians gave the “visiting firemen” a grand send-off with luncheons and cocktail parties in their honor. ‘The Doellers and the Carharts had luncheqn with music and all the fixings—and the Jenkins and the Larrabees gave dinners last night.
