Garden Wedding Takes
Place in Takoma Park.
A pretty garden wedding took place
Monday evening. May 11, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Leach in
Takoma Park, when Miss Gladys Viola
Crum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Crum of Westminster. Md..
became the bride of Mr. Virgil Ivan
Bnyder. son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
A. Snyder of Heflin, Ala., the ceremony
being performed by Rev. Warren E
Barr in the presence of 75 guests.
The garden was charming with vari
colored lights and a trellis interwoven
with dogwood and other Spring flowers.
Miss Virginia Leach sang and Miss
Jean Wood played the wedding march
The bride was escorted by Mr. Cleve
C. Pulver, who gave her in marriage.
She wore a gown of white satin made
on long close-fitting lines with a
short train and veil of maline and
■\/fRS. POWELL CLAYTON’S cheery tea on Tuesday brougnt rortn a con
genial group of friends, who sat about chatting on the lovely, cool upstairs
veranda. Among the guests were petite and dainty Mrs. Marshall Langhorne,
wearing soft flowered chiffon with a lace collar and cuffs, and her nice, very
tall, good looking husband; the Nelson Perins, Col. and Mrs. Sherman Miles,
all smiles over their daughter’s engagement, and many otners, including E.
Pendleton Turner, known better to his friends as Pen.
Pen is one of the most beloved and amusing bachelors in Washington.
He is a rugged individualist—if he likes you, you can do no wrong. Perhaps
Bill Smoky, Pen’s thoroughbred wire-haired fox, who was his Inseparable
companion for nine years, inherited the same sense of loyalty. Few dogs are
remembered and missed as much as Smoky, and somehow we never see Pen
walking along the street that we don't see a little shadowy wire-haired at his
heels, and to this day Pen unconsciously says; “We will walk up to sea
you soon.”
Blessed with a grand sense of humor, Pen’s stones on himself are just
as amusing as those told by friends. One that always made us laugh Immensely
was of Pen’s coming home very late one night and laboriously climbing the
three flights of stairs that lead to his delightful apartment in Georgetown.
As he searched for the keyhole he could hear Smoky on the other side of the
door eagerly awaiting him. He opened the door, called “Come on, Smoky.”
What was more natural than Smoky should spring through the door in
response. That’s what Pen thought. Preoccupied, the grave master went on
the usual stroll absorbed in his own thoughts and presuming Smoky was visiting
his old and customary haunts.
On returning, Pen climbed the stairs again, unlocked tne door, and
there, in the apartment, sat Smoky, still patiently waiting to be taken out
on his nightly walk!

JIJANY Washingtonians will remember Marshal Badoglio, now of
Ethiopian fame, and formerly, in 1922, a member of the Dis
armament Conference. Marshal Badoglio is a very modest, shy per
son and it was only through devious sources that we heard of his
recent great service to his country, when he turned the defeat of
Piave into a victory for Italy. For this he was well rewarded by
being decorated with the Croce D'Oro, the highest military decoration
in Italy.

MR AND MRS. MARIO RODRIGUEZ, a very popular young couple, have
recently returned from a six-month wedding trip. We all had hoped
| that they would remain with us in Washington for a long time, but it
appears that six months is about as long a stay as we can count on. Senor
Rodriguez is attached to the Chilean Embassy, and Senora Rodriguez is the
former Margery Talman, who, as well as being an F. F. V., is well identified
j with Washington.

rJ1HE Marchessa Da Jetta, who made her debut in Washington a*

Court. Their son, who is in the diplomatic service, at the present
time at the League of Nations, is married to a Visconti Moderna.

^MBASSADOR BRECKINRIDGE LONG has arrived in Washington on
leave, and how long he will remain no one seems to know. The Italians
fear that he will not return to Rome, due to ill health. If this should be the
case it will be a real disappointment, as the Long family has made a host
of friends in Rome and will be greatly missed.
