WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. THE City,

liant wedding at l o'clock this afternoon,
when Miss Mary Clymer became the

Bancroft, Mrs. Story, Justice and Mrs.
Field, Justice and Mrs. Lamar. Mrs. M.
w. Fuller and Assistant Secretary Adee.
A reception and breakfast followed the
marriage.
In appearance the bride is tall, of re-
fined figure, and thoroughbred face.
She carries herself we'll, and will be q
dignifed mistress of house of much
dignity. She is barely three years older
than the eldest daughter of Mr.. Bayard,
Mrs. Samuel Warren, of Boston, and
Mr.. Bayard himself is only eight years
younger than Mrs. Clymer, the brides
mother, he having reached his three
score years.
Miss Clymer passed her school days
at Nine. Burr's, in this city, one time a
fashionable school where many brilliant
women were educated. She entered
society at 20, and has been a prominent
leader, although abroad so much. She
is quite literary in her tastes, and is de-
scribed as more Bostonian in liklngs
THAI Washingtonian. While not CIV
ing her whole time to society, she has
always carefully observed social re-
quirements. So much sought after has
she been that people have many time
announced her engagement to different
scions of old families here.
The family of Mrs. Senator Bavard
has been socially conspicuous in Penn
sylvania since the last century. The
head of her branch was signer of the
Declaration of independence and an
other branch produced Heisier Clymer
who was in Congress for several years
and was q candidate for the vice-presi-
dency. Mrs. Ella Dietry Clymer, the
president of Sorosls, is connection of
the bride, having married Heisler CIV
mer's brother, Edward, who was in his
youth as handsome as an Apollo.
The brides trousseau is one of the
most elegant ever imported. It comes
entirely from Paris and was selected by
her cousin, who is the wife of French
viscount. Little attempt has been made
to follow the latest modes, but every
gown is q marvel One of them, a visit
ing gown, is of golden-brown velvet, cut
en- princess. The bottom of the
skirt has deep hem with open-work
insertion above it and a band of sable
FUR on the lower edge. The gown is in
one piece, without the ordinary waist
forms, and is SHRED about the waist
as high as the bust to fit the figure. The
waist fastens at the back. There is
shoulder cape of velvet, with hem
and needle work like that on the skirt,
and high fur collar
The wedding journey includes trip
to New York and Boston and then to
Delamere Place, the Bayard homestead
in Wilmington. Delamere Place is a
noted house and has many historical
associations. It is large mansion of
stately proportions, and is surrounded
by small forest. A fine view of
Wilmington and of the Delaware River
can be obtained from its portico. A
beautiful lawn, adorned with flower
beds, stretches out in front of the house
TO the edge of the big grove of fine
trees.
