Mrs. Taft Is expected before the rent o . the family and will bo joined at the Point by Helen, Robert and Charlie Just as noon as their college sessions close. She has " planned to pass as quiet a summer this year as last. It Is said, without any en tertalnments beyond 'the usual hospitality by relatives. Noverthe ess, social leaJers are flocking to the Point and neighboring cottages have been opened earlier this ' spring than usual, so that the season la ad vanced practically three weeks. to be transferred In June, when the plans for the wedding will be completed. Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Boll have an nounced th engagement of their daugh ter, Miss Grace Bell, to Granvtlls R. Forts- ' ecus. The wedding will tak place at Twin Oak ftaturday. June 4, arid will be attended only by a small party of rs'.attves. Miss Bell Is one of the most charming and accomplished young women In Wash ington society. Hlie la an enthusiastic horsewoman and fond of outdoor Ufa In general. he Is Interested greatly In charl- ties, particularly the Working Boys Home. Mr. Fortescu was military aide at the White Mouse during the Roosevelt admin istration, and Is a relative of Mrs. Roose velt At present lie Is assistant to John BafVett, director of the Bureau of Ameri can Republics. He Is a member of the Met. . ropolitan. Chevy Chase and i Army and Navy clubs, and Is a graduate of the Vnl versity of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Henderson, Jr., who has been cruising In southern waters upon his private yacht, has returned home. The Swiss minister and Mine. Rltter, with their young son, will vail on June 7 for Switzerland, where they will" spend the , summer. "Two much Texas" is the reason at- . trlbuted to the recent unpleasantness In the Congressional club. Incidentally the Congressional club Is pursuing new ways. In the old days the guests were pleased to get pink lemonade and a cookie; now the champagne flows without stint, and viands are rich in comparison. Mrs. Lodg and Mrs. Champ Clark resigned when the nsw order set in. Mrs. Slayden and Mrs. Gregg, , wives of Texas legislators, have been run ning things to suit themselves, according ' to the verdict of the dissatisfied ones. Wednesday, J una 15, Is tba data selected for the wedding of Miss Edna Aliens Mac . Murray and Captain Jomes Tarsona Rob i Inson, U. S. A., whose engagement was re ' cently announced. The ceremony will take ' place In St. Thomas' Episcopal church, the Kev. Dr. Brooka of Bt. Paul's church. Ai bany, N, V., officiating, assisted by the Rev. C. Ernest Smith, rector of St. Thomas'. Miss MacMurray, who is the daughter of Mrs. MacMurray and the late Major Mac Murray, U. S. A., haa Just returned from New York, where she has- been spending several weeks. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt-Longworth has joined her family abroad. Mr. Longworth did not go abroad, but remained to Wash ington. Washington seems to be taking little in terest In the coming wedding of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and there la gossip to the effect that the son of the former president need not look to this city for much ma terial with which to furnish his nest. Dur ing the Roosevelt administration in Wash ington young Theodora was not much for society. He was less accessible than his father and would rather read or wander . .along the wooded paths in solitude than W mingle at social affairs. Ha was never much of a dancer and as a conversation alist he nevor took a blue ribbon. The marriage of Miss Kathertnt Olivia Leech, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fred Leech, and Lieutenant Thurston Hughes, United States coast artillery corps, whose engagement was rcaemly announced, will be an event of the (all, as the weddng will probably take place In October. The engagement has been announced of Midshipman Ralph M. Jasgsr of the United States navy and Miss Helen Herbert, a debutante of the season of 1S06-190S of Min neapolis. Mr. Jaeger Is also a Minneapolis man, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luthar Jaeger. He Is a gradual of th United states Naval academy at Annapolis In vsot. and is now on th KagMa, a United States cruiser in th Atlantis service, with head quarter at Norfolk. Mr. Jaeger expects former (Invcrnor William U. M'rriam of Minnesota und Mis. Merriam, accompa nied by their daughter. Miss Laura, have Bono t their country place In Shenandoah county, Virginia, where they will i-pend a few weeks before going to a northern resort for the rrmnindcr of the heatton.

I'romlnent In thu l:irgp range of ton giesslonal Interests utul In the doings of f the 'onmrrsslunul club In Mrs. tjcorge B. Chamberlain, wife or the enulor from Ore Son. rusLur Chamberlain is by birth a southerner, and he and Mrs. Chamberlain are as popular with the southern contingent of Washington as with th western, a fact which Insures them an Ideally pleasant residence here. Mrs. Cuambrelaln Is viva cious and charming, with plenty of "go aheud" and tact, and has become very popular. Although the has a debutante daughter, she looks much like a girl. With th advent of spring fair Washing tonlans have turned their attention to the numerous weddings which are by far the most important function at this season of the year. Each spring wedding season brings Its own special fad, whether In the number of bridesmaids, the style of wed ding gowns or even In the flowers chosen for the bridal bouquet. The present spring has shown a marked tendency to simplicity In all the arrangements for the ceremonies, and the elaboration which was deemed es sential several seasons ago Is almost a thing of the past. The wedding parties of the last year have been smaller, and there has even been manifested a marked prefer ence for a ceremony at the bride's home rather than at church. Tet the elaborately formal wedding with all its "frills" Is nevertheless dear to the feminine heart, and It la quit "unlikely" that It will ever go completely "out."
