NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Cupid is still
capering in the parlors of upper tendon
in New York, and has of late bagged
some very fine game. As result several
fashionable weddings are on the pro-
gramme for the next few weeks. The
! combined fortunes of the high contracting
| parties form total which is fabulous.
1t runs high up into the millions, Cos
tunes and ceremonies are, therefore.
expected to be on a scale of grandeur
never equalled this side of the Atlantic
and rarely, if ever, on the other. The
marital season was ushered in Yesterday
| by the Lanier-AppletOn nuptials at
| LenoX, amid the Berkshire hills of Mas
sachusetts. Fully 500 fashionable peonIe
graced the occasion with their presence
many making the trip from this CITY in
special parlor car attached to the Sara
| tOga train. The beating hearts of the
| aristOcratic young lovers were pledged TO
beat for none else under circumstances
which were not little romantic. The altar
at which they stood was constructed of
| flowers in a pretty little floral arbor
in romantic nook in the grounds sur
! rounding the family villa. The costumes
were all that money could make them, and
the presents received were magnificent
and valued at several thousand dollars.
The feast was spread by a caterer from
this city, who, with fifteen assistants,
went by two special cars to LenoX for the
| occasion. A gay party from Newport
| participated in the festivities and started
on their homeward trip on a special train
of three parlOr sleeping cars. The event
was fitting prelude to the avalanche of
gay events of which it was the fOrerun-
ner.
ORANGE BLOSSOMS FOR MISS ASTQR,
! The arrangements for the Astor we'd
! ding are progressing rapidly, and society
bellies are on the tipt0e of expectancy.
| The great social event has been the topic
| of every drawing room since the an
| nouncement, and the possibilities of the
| trousseau of the bride-elect have been
fully and frequently discussed. The SER
vice will be read by the Rev. DR.. Dix,
rector of Trinity, who baptized and con-
| firmed the eXpectant bride. There is to
! be reception at the Astor
mansion on Fifth Avenue, corner
| Of Thirty-fourth street. The three long
drawing-rooms will be festOoned with
rare flowers of every description, and a
| bower of palms, ferns and India rubber
| plants, lined with pink roses, will be
made for the bride and groom TO stand in.
| The large art gallery will be brilliantly
| lighted, and an orchestra of stringed in
struments will occupy enc of the bal
! comics. The broad white enamel stair
way will be decked with garlands of
roses twining the balustrade, and the
! large reception room will also be made
! gay with rare and costly flowers. Miss
! AstOr's wedding dress is now being made
in Paris, and will be sent over about
I Nov. 1. 1t is to be of very heavy
| pearl white satin, made with a full
white train, which will be bOrdeFed by a
| plisse of the satin and ON the edge ruch-
| ing of fine point lace in wild rose de-
| sign. The front is to be covered with
ruffles of rare point lace that belonged to
! Miss Astor's grandmother. The lace will
| not be cut, but will cross over in flOunces,
and at the sides will be caught down in a
! twist and held by a cluster Of orange
| blossoms and pearls. The cOrsaga will
| be cut square, and bordered with lace,
! while the sleeves, slightly pulled on the
! shoulders and reaching to the elbows,
will be met by long, white kid gloves,
! which are being made to order to fit the
slender little hand of the bride. The Slip
pers are to be made of the dress materi-
| ais, and embroidered in white pearls,
| while the stockings are to be of the finest
white silk. The veil will probably be of
! illusion. There is a rare old point lace
veil in the family, and this may be worn,
