Of interest to Washington so-

from Capt. and Mrs. William
John Murphy of the engagement
of the latter's daughter, Miss Elene Forman Essary, to Mr. John Worden Gill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Nicholas Gill. The wedding will take place in April.
The bride-elect, who is the daughter of the late Mr. J. Fred Essary, for many years head of the Washington Bureau of the Baltimore Sun and a distinguished writer and lecturer, is a graduate of the National Cathedral School and attended Sweet Briar College. She made her I debut at Blair House just before it became the official guest house for foreign visitors and she is a member of the Junior League of

puzzled to hear that it is cus-
tomary in my future niece's locality for the guests to bring their wedding presents to the reception. Naturally I don't want to arrive
empty-handed, but how do I sit in church w'ith a package in
my arm?
Your question merely adds another angle to the objection of turning a wedding reception into a shower. Where this very strange custom exists I do not know, but several letters lately have de-
scribed the confusion of opening all presents at the reception. It is not only incorrect, but the most impractical idea ever presented to me. My advice is to follow correct etiquette, which is to send the wedding present to the bride at least several days before the
wedding.
