Schreiber, Otto A. Schreiber, Robert Siering, Lefferts Mendes, Richard Marshall, John Van Nostrand King, Herbert O. Hyatt, John Edmonds Goodridge, Laurent Burtenshaw, J. Halstead Brown. MARRIAGE OF MISS ELSA CATHERINE THE REYNOLDS, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. William Francis Reynolds of 12 Tompkins Place, to Mr. William Francis Mashin, was solemnized last Saturday morning at the Church of St. Paul, Court and Congress Streets, with all the elaborate ritual of the Roman Church. Both the nave of the large church and the gallery were thronged with guests.

The bride, looking very lovely in a white satin gown made with a court train, in which was inserted a panel of Limerick lace made in a convent in Ireland, and wearing a tulle veil with a cap of the Limerick lace and orange blossoms, entered on the arm of her father. She wore also a gold medal blessed by the Pope and sent to her by Holy Father as a bridal gift, and carried a white nuptial prayer book, also blessed for her by the Pope. Her attendants were Mrs. Henry A. McCormick, for whom she was bridesmaid last June, and Miss Irene Reynolds, her cousin.

Mrs. McCormick was gowned in orchid satin and Miss Reynolds in pink satin. Anthony P. Mashin was best man for his brother and the ushers were Paul G. A.

Reynolds, Joseph J. McGuire, Joseph Reynolds and Dr. Charles E. Kreml. Mr.

Mashin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Mashin of 1023 Madison Street. The ceremony was performed by the Rt. Rev.

Mons. George Caruana, D. Bishop of Porto Rico, and a friend of the bride's father, who conferred the Papal benediction upon the young couple, having been delegated by Pope Pius XI to do so. The Bishop was assisted by Mons. M.

G. Flannery, L.L.D., pastor of St. Paul's, the Rev. Father George H. Dawson, and the Rev.

Daniel Halloran, both of St. Paul's. Immediately after the marriage a solemn high nuptial mass was sung by three cousins of the bride, the Rev. John I. J.

Smith, pastor of St. John the Evangelist as celebrant; the Rev. James A. Boylan, D.D., of St. Charles Seminary, Philadelphia, deacon, and the Rev.

Joseph A. Smith of St. Catherine of Genoa, Flatbush, as sub-deacon. A wedding breakfast and reception followed the ceremony and mass at the Hotel St. George.

After an extended wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Mashin will make their home in Flatbush. MRS. from JESSICA a bad cold, LOZIER gave on PAYNE, Thursday although morning, sufferJanuary 21st, one of the most interesting lectures of her whole course on "Current Topics," which she is giving at the Academy of Music this winter.

Her first topic was "Mexico Shows Bad the second was "Government Must Help the Farmer." This led into many allied topics and opened the eyes of her hearers to many things that people do not generally understand about the farmer. Then Mrs. Payne described with many humorous touches the jockeying for place between the Tax Bill and the World Court proposition. She spoke of something that the writer of this article is in great sympathy with, and we were glad to feel that most of the audience were of the same opinion, and that was that the great cry for protection of women in industry is bunk. We haven't space to discuss it here, but we would like to.

Mrs. Payne's last topic was "Security of the British Empire." The audience was larger even than usual, and in it we noted Mrs. Hugh Cuthrell (Faith Baldwin), Mrs. Richard Brown, Miss Angie L. Strang, Mrs.

Augustus Harper, Mrs. Asa Rogers See, Mrs. E. R. Browne, Mrs.

W. W. Richards, Mrs. Calvin Patterson, Mrs. Herbert Minton Betts, Miss Josephine Bennett, Mrs.

IN THE SPACIOUS HOME OF MRS. ALEXANDER H. FRASER at 401 Clinton Avenue, the Junior Guild of Colony House gave a subscription dance last Friday evening that ranked with any of the subscription dances of the year.

Chumasero, (Kathryn Tuthill), Mr. and Mrs. Norman Anderson (Doris Bergen), Mr. and Mrs. DeHart Bergen, (Hazel Ridley), Mr.

and Mrs. J. Austin Crom- ON FRIDAY MORNING of last week Mrs. Earl Francis Whitaker delivered the seventh of her series of ten lectures at the Hotel Bossert. She gave an account of the political situation, both at home and abroad in her usual clear and charming manner.

She referred to the high-handed orders of Mussolini in Italy; the possibility of war between Turkey and Great Britain over the Treaty of Mosul; of a wonderful invention just completed in Germany which may make possible spoken communication, with travelers on fast-moving trains: the differences of opinion between Mexicans and Americans resident in Mexico about land-holding; the Woman's National Conference in The talk closed with a review of Nance O'Neil's play, "Stronger Than Love," which depicts the substantial side of French life rather than its lighter aspects. Among those present were Mrs. E. H. Babcock, Mrs.

H. Blyn, Mrs. W. J. Cody, Mrs.

"Corresponding, I suppose," mused the visiting Englishman as his train passed through the apartment district, "to our Great Middle Class." BRINGS A PERENNIAL ASTONISHMENT IT and admiration to the simple mind of a society editor to see the apparent ease which the powers that be in the Mundell Choral fill the ballroom of the Heights Casino to capacity time after time for their "Mornings." Friday, the 15th, the second "Morning" of this season, was no exception to the general rule. There was hardly a seat to be had when the writer came in. The artists were Miss Marion Telva of the Metropolitan Opera Company and Mr. Herman Sandby, 'cellist. Miss Telva's fine contralto voice has an unusually good upper range and was heard to advantage in her part of the program, which included the aria, Don Fable," from Verdi's "Don "Air de Pauline," from "Pique Dame," by Tschaikowsky; "Si J'ai Pouvais Mourir," Barbirolli; the aria, "Mon Colur S'Ouvre ta Voix," from Saint Saens' "Samson et "Over the Steppe," by Gretchaninoff; "Inber Nos," by MacFayden; "My Lover Is a Fisherman," by Strickland; "Floods of Spring," Rachmaninoff, and as an encore, "Love Is in My Heart for Thee." The writer felt that Mr.

Sandby's performance did not receive its just share of applause, and supposes that this must be attributed to the immense popularity of the human voice over man-made instruments. But certainly the 'cello, with its deep, vibrant voice, is one of the noblest of the latter, and Mr. Sandby played it beautifully, especially in Rimsky-Korsakoff's "Indian Love Song," which he played as an encore to a group of Scandinavian folk-songs of his own. Other numbers by Mr. Sandby were "Adagio," Schumann; "Musette," Sibe-.
