MOST important event of yesterday afternoon was the christening of
the small son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Beach, which took place at their
attractive house on Twenty-fourth street. Named after his father, little
Samuel Ferguson Beach. jr„ conducted himself with such a gurgling display
of good humor and happiness that our only fear for his future was that the
"devil was still to come out.” according to the age-old superstition! Most j
becomingly dressed in a long, filmy christening gown, which his mother says ‘
just came to light in an old trunk, and undoubtedly was worn by her on
the same occasion, the little man of the hour charmed all the guests.
The Rev. Mr Mayers of Middleburg, who officiated at Kempie and
Sam's wedding and also at the christenings of their two daughters.
Betsy and Grayson, was on hand to officiate at this important ceremony
also. Attracting almost as much attention as the leading man were
his sisters, aged 6 and 8, who, dressed alike in pale-blue organdy,
were the center of much attention.
Immediately after the christening ceremony, which took place in the
drawing room, filled with flowers from the famous Foxcroft School gardens,
which Kempie attended, the guests adjourned to the spacious gardens for !
tea and other refreshing drinks.
Among the guests were Miss Charlotte Nolan of Poxcroft fame, in a
becoming gray-and-white print gown; Mr. and Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin, the
latter wearing a powder-blue-and-white print dress and maroon hat; Mrs.
Thomas B. Davis; Miss Elizabeth Lemon and Mr. and Mrs. George R. Gaither,
all of Middleburg. Va. Prom Baltimore came Mr. and Mrs. C Willing Browne,
she is a sister of the beautiful Mrs. Wallace Lanahan. and looked lovely in
a frock with a print top of red and white and green, worn with plain black
skirt; Mrs. J. Crosson Cooper, formerly Eleanor Chalfonte of Pittsburgh, who
now lives in Baltimore; and from Washington such attractive company as
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Coolican, the latter wearing a most unusual costume
consisting of a black gown with a beige bolero and one of the new black straw
hats with dripping fringe; Mr. and Mrs. Winslow Van Devanter, the latter
in brown and white polka dot print with large white organdy bow and
brown straw hat trimmed with field flowers; Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Boyd, Mrs.
Boyd in pale-blue with a maroon-colored hat; Mr. and Mrs. Laurence .Green,
Dr. and Mrs. B. Lauriston Hardin, Mf. and Mrs. Marshall Exnicios, Elio in
navy and white polka dot with large white hat; Mr. and Mrs. William Hill,
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Garnett, Judge and Mrs. Peyton Gordon, Judge and
Mrs. Jesse Adkins, Mr. and Mrs. Berkeley Simmons and Pendleton Turner,
cousin of the hostess.
Sam's mother, proud grandmother of the “honor guest,” was also
present, and some comment must be made of the lovely dress worn by
Kempie, the proud mother. Of pale gray chiffon with tiny white polka
