tunes by opening a successful hat
shop. When the time came, for
her marriage, to the young Ger
man diplomat, neither family had
a town house in Berlin, so ehe de
cided to hold the wedding recep
tion in her shop.
The bride’s friends were Invited
and the bridegroom’s, with all
Countess Strachwitz’ customers aa
well, and ah* tells* entertainingly
of the curious groupings that re
sulted. The latest and smartest
models in hats served as decora
tions and the wedding breakfast
was served from tables in the
work rooms.
