Marguerite Bohn Marries P. F. Grant; Ruth Ramsdell Bride of J. A. Bladen

Washington these days is on the way to piling up * record of weddings for the fall season. A glance at the list of weddings taking place over the week end shows that some churches were the scene of ieveral weddings in a day, while at the same time there was no dearth of lovely home weddings.

One of the very prettily arranged early autumn weddings was that yesterday of Miss Deborah Burton, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Harold A. Burton of Cleveland, and Mr. R. Wallace Adler, jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Adler. also of Cleveland. The ceremony was performed in All Souls' Unitarian Church, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. U. G. Β Pie-re. officiating at 4 o'clock and the reception was held immediately after in Pierce Hall of »1λα mUiixaU * —

Senator Burton escorted his daughter and gave her in marriage. Her wedding gown was of triple faille, the traditional white, made with a floor length full skirt which fell from a long fitting bodice had a sweetheart neckline and small buttons down the front and the sleeves were long. Her finger-tip length veil was held by a round cap of lace which had a narrow up- turned lace brim all around. She carried a semi-colonial bouquet with a shower, of stephanotis and white orchids.

Mrs. H. C. Weidner of Beaver Palls. Pa., was matron of honor for her sister and the bride's other at- tendants were her classmate at Colby Junior College in New Hamp- shire. Mrs. Millard Browrr, now of Florida; Mrs. C. Loren Kinkade of Cleveland, Miss Louise Adler of Cleveland, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Carolyn Merchant of Bronxville, Ν. Y., room-mate of the bride at Connecticut College for Women. They were dressed in pele blue brocade made similar to the bride's gown, with bracelet length sleeves. Their bouquets were semi- rolonial, the matron of honor having pink roses surrounded by small white button chrysanthemums and held in a white organdy frill. The others had bouquets of white button chrysanthemums surrounded by dark blue delphinium and held in a pale blue organdy frill. Each had a cluster of flowers like her bouquet on her head and wore a string of pearls which was the gift of th » bride.

Mr. Richard L. Rager of Cleveland «as best man and the usher in- cluded Mr. Ri.-hard L. Scafe, jr.; Mr. Howard A. Gray, jr.; Mr. Archi- bald B. Ragan, Mr. Arhur A. Aus- pach and Mr. Haskell Torrence, classmates of -h° bridegroom at Yale University, and Aviation Cadet Rob- ert S. Burton, brother of the bride, who came from Squantum, Mass., where he is in training.

Senator and Mrs. Burton received the guests in Pierce Hall after the ceremony and were assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Adler, parents of the bridegroom, who came for the wed- ding. Mrs. Burton wore aqua crepe made on a shirtwaist model with pockets on an angle on the skirt which were trimmed with gold kid and beads and her hat was gray- blue, trimmed with flowers made of feathers in the same shade. She had a shoulder bouquet of yellow orchids edged with maroon color. Mrs. Aldler's costume was of dull gold lame with which she wore a cold Juliet cap and her shoulder bouquet was of lavendar orchids.

Mr. and Mrs. Adler left later in the afternoon on their short wedding trip, this being the midyear vaca- tion at Yale. They will be at home in New Haven until February when the bridegroom will be graduated and leave at. once for the officers' training school at Fort Sill.

Another of the unusually attrac- tive weddings took place Saturday morning in St. Patrick's Church, when Miss Marguerite Frances Bohn became the bride of Mr. Paul Francis Grant.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles s. Bohn and is a graduate of Holy Cross Academy. Mr. Grant is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Paul Grant. He was graduated from Gonzaga College and attended Columbus University in this city.

Banks of palms flanked by baskets of white dahlias decorated the beau- tiful altar of the church for the ceremony, and the Rev. E, Robert Arthur officiated at the 11 o'clock nuptial mass, which was accom- panied by an elaborate program of music.

Escorted by her father, the bride walked to the altar in a dress of white satin fashioned on severely simple lines, with a square neckline, long sleeves, long basque and a full ekirt ending in a long circular train. Lace finished the sleeves and edged the front panel of the skirt, con- tinuing around the train. Her full- length veil of illusion was held by a Juliet cap of satin trimmed with clusters of orange blossoms and she

By the Way— Beth Blaine

It's a toss-up as to which got ; the most admiring glances when Actress Joan Fontaine and Mrs. Harry Hopkins, bride of the President's lend-lease adminis- trator, both spoke at the Volun- teer Nurse's Aide recruiting rally Friday night. Both had dined with Mrs. Roosevelt be- forehand she was, of course, tne principal speaker» and both looked pretty as pic- tures. A day or so before the rally Mrs. Hopkins and Miss Fontaine lunched at the Red Cross canteen with a group ol na- tional and group officials. Mrs. Hopkins wore her nurse's aide hospital uni- form; Miss Fontaine wore the summer blue uniform οι tne Kea urass volunteer j worker.

All thp young servicemen who i lunched at the canteen could hardly take their eyes off the two beauties. And both ladies seemed quite unconscious of the excitement they were creating. Miss Fontaine had her hands full of recruiting dodgers—which had been especially made up for her in Los Angeles—and she was passing them around to any one who looked like a prospective

1

nurse's aide. We're told she had a batch of them in her hand when she arrived by plane—and was handing them out then, too.

Both these young women are

doing serious and hard work as nurse's aides. Miss Fontaine re- ceived her training in Los An- geles—and got. it the hard way, scrubbing floors and bathing everything, she says, from tiny babies to elderly gentlemen. Mrs. Hopkins received her training in New York. From the time she was graduated there in May and came to Washington after her marriage in July she had given almost 200 hours of service. The requirements of an entire year for nurse's aides are only 150 hours—so you can see that

she really worked. Right now she's working six

hours « day, four days a week, at the Columbia Hospital. And the registered nurses there say that she's a born nurse if ever there was one—and that even if she weren't Mrs. Harry Hopkins all the patients and nurses would still think her outstanding for

the very fine, efficient work .«he's doing. And they'd all adore her for her sympa- thetic and un- assuming and very charming manner.

Another at- tractive nurse's aide who re- ceived her training in New York is the bride of Hugh Auchin- closs. the for- mer Janet Lee

Bouvier. Her transfer from New York to

Washington is now in prog- ress and as soon as she gets her

young daughters off to school and the rest of the family set- tled ar Merrywood she'll go on duty at one of the local hos- pitals. Mrs. Ffoulke Dewey is on duty at Garfield Hospital and handsome Baroness van Boet- z£laer, wife of the Minister- Counselor of the Netherlands Legation, has completed her course and works at several of the local hospitals.

Senora Vicente Valdes Rodri- guez. wife of the Counselor of the Cuban Embassy, is another nurse's aide. Mrs. Hugh Cum- ming. jr., is one of the vice chairmen of the local chapter and does duty at several hos- pitals—Garfield, the Home for Incurables, and the blood donor center. Mrs. Paul O'Leary is an- other vice chairman. She's in charge of assigning aides to the different hospitals. Mrs. Hugh W. Rowan is the efficient chair- man of the local chapter. She does active duty at Columbia Hospital—but her mast arduous work is the administrative end which she handles at head- quarters.
