CLARKSON-THELIN. – A marriage of much interest which took
place last evening was that of Miss Marie Bertin Thelin, daughter of Mrs.
William T. Thelin, of Mount Washington, to Mr. Thomas B. Clarkson, of Prince
William county, Va. The bride, through
her father, the late William T. Thelin, of this city, is of old French Huguenot
descent, while through her mother, a daughter of the late Judge Griswold, she is
a representative of one of the most important colonial lines of Maryland. She is a very charming young girl, who only
made her debut two seasons ago. The
groom is a son of Dr. Clarkson, of Prince William county, and comes of an old
South Carolina family.
The ceremony was performed at 8 p. m. at St. John's
Protestant Episcopal church, Mount Washington, by the rector, Rev. Wilbur F.
Watkins, Jr. The interior was
beautifully decorated by the members of St. Mary's Guild with a profusion of
sweet peas, roses, smilax and ferns.
Over the chancel was erected a canopy of red and white roses, beneath
which the young couple stood for the marriage service. Announcing the approach of the bridal party
the hymn "Oh, Perfect Love" was sung by the choir of St. John's, the
wedding chorus from "Lohengrin" being afterward rendered upon the
organ by Miss Berth leary as the processional.
The bride entered with her brother, Mr. Griswold Tehlin, by whom she was
given away. She wore an exquisite gown
of white liberty silk, trimmed with old lace, and a tulie veil, taught with
orange blossoms. Her ornaments were
pearls, and instead of a bouquet she carried a white prayer book. Two little girls – Misses Mary Kirk and Floy
Van Den Burg – served as flower girls in dainty frocks of white embroidered
mull, with pink ribbons, and carrying a basket of pink bridesmaid roses.
Mr. Walter Clarkson of Washington, brother of the groom, was
best man. The ushers were Mr. Robert H.
B. Beverly, Mr. Alexander M. Breckenridge, and Mr. Hugh T. Clarkson, all of
Virginia; Mr. Carl Clarkson, of Alabama, Mr. Thomas B. Headley, of
Philadelphia, and Mr. William T. Thelin, Jr. of Lewiston, Pa. After the ceremony the immediate members of
the two families and the bridal party returned to the residence of Mrs. Thelin
to drink the health of the bride and groom, who soon after left on their
wedding trip. Upon their return they
will reside in Washington, D.C.
On Tuesday afternoon the bridal party, with members of the
two families, were entertained at luncheon at the Baltimore Country Club by
Mrs. Charles E. Phelps, sister of the bride.
On Monday evening, a dinner in honor of the groom and his attendants was
given by Charles. E. Phelps, also at the Country Club.

QUIETLY MARRIED. Miss
Dovie Peters and Mr. Norman B. Grigsby were married Wednesday, June 19,
1918. Owing to the recent departure of
the bride's brother for France, the couple were married quietly by the Rev. J.
Strange, of Alexandria, Va. Only the
nearest relatives were present. The
bride wore a lovely gown of white georgette crepe trimmed most artistically
with white and pink beads. The hat was
of white straw and georgette crepe touched here and there with forget-me-not,
which corresponded most wonderfully with the bouquet she carried. Her only attendant was her sister, Miss
Nellie B. Peters, of Washington. The
bride and groom left immediately after the ceremony for a short stay with their
parents in Virginia. The bride is the
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Peters of Manassas, Va. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Grigsby of Marshall, Va. The
couple will later return to Washington, where Mr. Grigsby will take up his
duties with the War Risk Insurance.
