SOCIETY

   A pretty wedding took place at North Chevy Chase, Md on Wednesday afternoon, when Miss Mary [I] Gilliland became the bride of Mr. Robert H. Simpson. The ceremony, which was performed by Rev. John L. Allison, of Washington, took place in the new home of the bride and bridegroom.
   The bride wore a gown of white covered with lace, and carried a bouquet of Bride roses and lilies of the valley tied with white ribbon. Owing to the death of the bride’s father, which occurred during the past summer, the ceremony was witnessed only by the immediate relatives of both bride and bridegroom. There were no attendants.
   Immediately after the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Simpson left for their wedding tour, which will include the Jamestown exposition. They will be home after November 15.
