THE ENGAGEMENT OF MISS MILDRED FULLER

her bestpoints is the poise of her head which,

THE MARRIAGE OF MR.. JEssUP
to an earl's daughter brings to mind sew
eral interesting things besides the fact that
the bridegroem's wealth is supposed to off
set the brides title. As rule, interna-
tlonal marriages are based upon the brides
money and the bridegroom's title, the rich
American girl and the titled foreigner, she

and four daughters. The titles were pretty
well secured by an eccentric ancestor.
Patrick, the ninth baron of Fortviot, who.
in 1000, was created by King James vi.
Earl of Kinghorne. His grandson, another
Patrick, acquired the title of Strathmore
and arranged the succession to please him

there is little except the old CLAIMS castle

Marion Lyon, Mr.. Jessup's bride, is the
second of the earl's four daughters.
To the old Quaker in Philadelphia
IT is SOMETHING OF FAIRY TALE

worldly destiny in store for these Quaker
sisters-a more worldly destiny for Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore, once Quakeress, now
the fashionable social leader-and the
Quaker boy, Augustus Jessup, who the
other day married this earl's daughter.
ANOTHER WEDDING,
more especially interesting to Washington
people is that of Miss Victoria Sackyille.
West, the oldest daughter of the former
British minister, a beautiful, young
woman who, as hostess at the British Ie-
CATION, made many friends now interested
in her marriage. 1t is well known that
Miss West married her first cousin, Ed
ward Lionel Saclyille West, her fathers
godson and who will succeed TO her fathers
title and the Knole estate, to which the
minister fell heir by the death of an elder
brother just before he left Washington.
