winch can also be worn upon the cOrsage.
Ihree pairs Of solitaire earrings, with
pOrtebOnheur bracelets. A comb sur
mounted with row Of diamond leaves
and necklace OF splendid workmanship

chief gift, however, is that Of a rich
parure Of pearls. The necklet and brace

There was no wedding breakfast. But
Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay received half Paris
at the Rue de Tilsitt after the ceremony.
The bride and bridegroom LETT for their
wedding tour in the evening. They Will
pass through the Riviera 10 Rome. where
they Will be received by the Pope in spec
ial audience. BY order Of His Holiness,
Mgr. Cataidl wired the POntifiCal
benedictiOn TO the happy couple.
The great diessmakers ard milliners Of
the Rue de la PaiX and the bOulevards
are furious. None of the wedding toilets
were made by them, and all the forty
three travelling, town, concert, matinee
and dinner dres- es came from the skillful
hands OF an obscure but artistic coat
turiere. As Mrs. Mackay herself wittily
remarked: Il like TO employ dress
maker for what she is worth, and not
because she is Worth" In this case
she has certainly eclipsed all that Paris
has done Of late.
Mrs. Mackay told me, says a CORE
SpOndent, that her husband IS so intense
~ American that she was at first
afraid he would not approve of Miss
EYa's matrimonial project. But if there
is one American institution that he
likes better than another it is personal
freedom. lie hates arIstOcratic pride
and preludiceS, and has not high idea
of aristOcratic virtue. But when he saw
Prince ColOnna he was faVOrably impress
sea by him and at once determine to wish
Miss Eva JOY upon the conquest she had
made.
Mr.. Mackay tells me that her husband
IS from Dublin, which he left at the age
Of twelve. He has no relations that he
knows Of there, at any rate none who
fixed themselves by kind attentions in
bis memory when hC was a boy. and SO be
is not DESTROYS, for that reason and no
other, TO hunt them up. Many claims
of kindred have been made since he
prospered, but he has not looked into
them. His only sister also went to
America in childhood. Being very re!ig-
iOus she became a nun and was the supe-
riOr OF the convent IN which che died.
Mrs Mackay gave me a short sketch Of
her own parGHtage and life. She had
French grandmother, who spoke French
and Spanish 10 her when she was Il child,
and was educated in TWO converts of the
order Of the Sacred Heart, where Ian
guages and music were carefully taught
and religious feeling in the pupils deyel-
Oped by the example of the nuns.
