Ixler-lateresttng to The Ladies.

1zIer-Iateresttng to The Ladies.
The children of ordinary men, however
meritorious their lives, may be born, marry,
and die, without the public being any the
wiser, but let the daughter of an ex-P1esi-
dent whisper Eyes" to favored swain, and
the important fact is at once told to curious
world.
Everybody has heard of the handsome
widow of ex. President Tyler, whose arms and
neck are still beautiful models for an artist,
and everybody has heard of her daughter,
Miss Julia. Late newspaper notices have
made us aware that the young lady has open
ly avowed her intention of exchanging the
name of her illustrious parents for one not
quite so distinguished.
It has already been announced that on Sat
urday, June &c, 1869. Miss Julia, daughter
of the late ex-President John Tyler, and Mr..
William Fl. Spencer, will be married in the
Church of the Ascension, on Fifth Avenue,
at o'clock. Over thousand invitations
have been sent out, aud among them was an
invitation to US to-look at the trouSSeau of
the bride.
1t was the especial request of Miss Julia
that her rare aud elegant dresses should not
be subjected to the trying ordeal of passing
do not"belong to that class, and therefore were
favored by having the dainty garments placed,
one by one, before our critical eye. The
rousseau was prepared by Moschowitz & Rus
sell, No. 6, Clinton Place, New York, and
each article can be subjected to the most tho
rough examination, for artist hands fashioned
them all.
