As the time draws near for Miss Nav
Clymer's marriage to ex-Secretary Bayard
all matters concerning her grow in interest.
The trousseau is ordered entire from Paris,
where it is being attended to by Miss ely
mer's cousip who married French visc1unt
and lives there. 1t will be character ,zed by
eXquitite refinement rather than by a dis
play of the latest modes. Rare laces will be
one of It's features. One of the carriage
and visiting gowns being prepared for her
is thus described: A golden brown velvet,
zen princesse." The b tom of the skirt
has deep hem with an open work inser-
ton above it and band of sable fur on the
lower edge. This gown is In one piece,
without the ordinary waist forms, and is
shirred about the waist as high as thu bust,
to fit the figure. The waist fastens at the
back. There is a shoulder cape of the vel
vet with a hem and needle work like that
on the skirt, and a high fur collar.
Miss Clymer's family has been socially
conspicuous in Pennsylvania since the
last century. The head of her branch was
a signer of the declaration of Independence
Another branch produced Hester Clymer,
who was in congress for some years and a
candidate for the vice presidency. He had
a sister, Mary Clymer. who was famed for
her extraordinary beauty, and who mar
ried Miss May Clymers uncle, William B.
Clymer.
Mrs. Clymer's life was ended by adisaster
which might also have robbed Mr.. Bayard
of his prospective bride She and her five
children were on the Inflated Pomerauia
which went down off the English coast in
TO All were lost but two daughters
These daughters have never returned One of
them married Scotch banker living in
Florence and the other Is the French Wis
countess mentioned above. Mr.. Bayard's
fiancee spent a great deal of time with
these relatives and by the merest co2cat-
euation of circumstances escaped going
abroad with them at that time.
Mrs. Ella Dletz Clymer, the president OF
Sorosis, is a connection of the future bride.
