dorance Of men. Mr.. Stanley Mortimer and

Grace Church was fairly we'll filled on Wednes-
dav last for the marriage OF Miss Leonie Jerome
and Mr.. Leslie. The bride was moro than
beautiiul-she was reaal-and the richness OF
has hr;I ten Lila Il
mense clusters OF diamonds which were dis
posed about her head and shoulders. made her
very striking object as she walked up the
aisle. Perhaps the bridegroom had never be-
fore realized the value Of the prize he had won
for he looked quite startled when the bride
came In sight. and it was only after a
signal from her that he stepped forward
to take her hand. Indeed. the shyness.
which seemed to ovarwhcln him. did not
wear on. even when the ceremony was
at an end. and was in marked contrast to the
easy grace and saroir tare OF his ushers and
best man. who would have been quite as I'M
embarrassed II they had been officiating at the
nuptials OF royal duke There was not very
much display Of autumn fashions among tho
company. as the heat drove every one back
upon summer gowns but thore were many
handsome women very richly costumed. Mrs.
Moreton Frewen looked extremely handsome,
as did also Mrs. Willinm b. Dinsmore. who was
as cool looking as mountain cascade in dress
and bonnet all Of simple white. Mrs. Antonio
YznnCa was present. gracious and graceful rs
OF old. But far and away the prettiest woman
in the room was Mrs. NJ. NJ. Travers. whose
heavy black gown. with profuson of diamond
ornaments. admirably set of her soft womanly
beauty. MIR. Bennett received warm welcome
from his many friends on his return from his
Western trip Indeed. il Mr.. Bennett lad had six
right hands they would all have been kept In
motion by the salutations that he received.
The sun did not shine so brightly upon Miss
Albertina Pyne's wedding day as it did upon
that OF Miss Jerome; but the little church at
Riverdae was 30 tasteiully adorned with leaves
and flowers. and the company assembled at
the house were 30 blithe and gay. that clouds
and rain passed almost unnoticei. Many Of
the same people were present rs Mt the Jerome
wedding and Delmonicos rooms wero we'll
filed with wedding guests on their return at
about 7 O'Clock In the evening The noxt
morning they all flew away. like the swallows
In the story. and in few hours were scattered
for and wide.
And 1t is not only to the suburbs and to
