Tho cotillon on Wednesday evening ut Dol
monico's was not only last. but q late ball. a.
1t was preceded by the wedding OF Miss Grace
Stcbbins and Mr.. Chapln. and many OF tho
guests went from one to the other. The hand
some residence of Mr. W. II. Schieffelin. the
grandfather OF the bride. was pleasantly fllod.
but not crowded. on tho occasion. ns Dir. Schiei-
felin has n dislike for crowds and display; bue
the dress OF the bride was marvel OF taste and
elegance ana the lace that she wore finer than
cobwebs. The bridesmaids. among whom wero'
Miss Eleanor Jay Schicfrelin and Miss Mary
Mason Jones. wore faultlessy costumed. and
mado n striking looking group.
Miss Mcyickar's marriage 20 Mr.. Andariese
was celebrated on Tuesday. at the old Wright
homestead in Newark, which was built moro
than sixty years ago by the Democratic Senator
OF that name and which his son. Col. E. H.
Wright. has recently inherited. The bride was
stately and MISUNDERSTANDING and thore
were several dignitares present. both ecclest-
astcal and civil.
| On the same day Miss Isabel Morrell's mar
| riage to Lieut.. Kelly was solemnized at Trint-
| ty Chapel. A distinguishing feature Of the oc-
casion was the naval uniforms Of the BRIDE
| groom and his best man. as well as Of several
| officers among the guests. The ladies present
| were almost all those who nre known in sum-
mer time as tho Pequot Colony Of New London.
| The concert OF the Mendessohn Glee Club on
Tuesday evening was not so we'll attended a.
| usual and many complaints were made Of Q
falling OIL In tho character and execution OF the
music. The attractions Of the operatic stage
during the past winter. to say nothing OF the
Philharmonic and other instrumental and vo-
cal concerts. however. may account for an in

| simpler music OF the Mendelssohn Club and
there may be In reality no falling Off at all.
1t would be difficult to do justice to the
charming entertainment given by Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt at last wook's meeting OF the
| Thursday Evening Club. The music. which
| was entirely professional. was OF the best Miss
Kellogg and Mr.. Rafael Joseffy's pianoforte
recitals being quite worth pilgrimage to hear.
But with 80 much to catch and delight tho eye.

while the exquisite tapestries. pictures bronzes.
and bric-a-brac are almost bewildering in their
profusion. The colossal fireplace and mantel
in tho great entrance hall. supported by two
magnfcently carved figures. with "Salve" and
| Pax" sculptured on either side called forth
much comment and admiration. The ladies.
with premonition peculiar to feminine minds
seemed to have made compact 10 dress up"
not to the occasion. but to tho house they were
going to. and at no ball this winter has there
been greater display. All wore In full even-

cries. whole fronts Of silver tissue. and skirts
OF finest lace met the eye at every turn. 1t was
