NEW YORK, March I-Society is lust
now busily engaged getting itself in a peni-
tsnt mood for Lent. Sackcloth and ashes
are mere metaphor, however, as far as
New York is concerned; for while our
grand danes, their husbands and daughters.
may have to forego their dinners, balls, and
receptions during the forty days before
Easter, they still contrive to make the time
pass pleasantly enough. One of the pleas
ant duties of Lent is the preparation for the
matrimonial matches that come like food
at the earliest days of the Eastertide. The
past season has been prolific in notable
engagements, and the first week in April
will in all probability witness many very
brilliant marriages.
One of the most notable in some RESPECTS
will be that of Herbert Ward, the Young
Englishman who was for time the COM
tons, to Miss Sanford. the daughter of
Bank er Charles II. Sanford, of Fifth avenue.
New York. There is quite little romance
connected with this match. Mr. Ward. who
is about &c years of age, and whose heart
has for many years been set on African
ex plorationS, had only begun to win the
blme that surely awaited him in liter
gary and geographical fields when, last
summer, on his return from Zanzibar. he

in love with the charming lady who is about
10 become his wife. OF course his African
dreams are exploded and he will go there no
more. He will not abandon his literary
work, however, although he is to marry a
fortune. His books and magazine article,
on African exploration have been remark
ably successful, and bring him a
large income. Miss Sanford is about
20 years of age, and is petite, highly
accomplished and exceedingly pretty. The
wedding will take place in April and the
young couple will pass the HONEYMOON
abroad. Papa Sanford is just now cutting
a wide and brilliant swath in London
society. Last spring he bought the Duke
of Leinster's mansion on Carlton House
Terrace, and he is spending 100000
IN improving it, the decorations
alone costing $3OO,OO0 He intends to give
series of receptions there next season that
will out do those of Mrs Mackay, the
bonanza queen.
A coming wedding in nigh life is that of
Count IIoewenhaupt, of Sweden TO Miss
Ne die Bayard, the youngest and favorite
daughter of ex-Secretary Bayard. The en-
Agement, when recently announced, was
lutte surprise to many friends of the Del
aware statesman'S family. Miss Nellie has
been known as charming figure in Wash
ington society. Her betrothed, who is the
heir to large estates abroad, is now in this
country, studying practical mechanics at
the shipyard of Harlan & Hollinsworth,
one of the most extensive in
the United States The count
is a fair-haired, manufacturing young fell
flow of about %, aud scion of one of the
oldest families in Sweden which has been
ennobled in two branches for generations
past. near relative was the Swedish
minister at Washington several years ago
Like many other members Of the Swedish
and Danish aristocracy, the head OF the
branch to which Miss Bayard's future hus-
land belongs is in business, and controls
one OF the leading merchant houses in
Stockholm. This branch of the family.
although It has had its share Of
representatives in the diplomatic
and military service, has always
been of a practical turn, and it is the pur-
pose OF the count to turn to advantage in
his own country the experience he is now
acqU iring in American shipyards. The main
family residence is at Stockholm, but it
ovens estates in different parts of Sweden.
Formerly the Loewenhaupts possessed large
estates in Livonia, but these fell into the
hands of Russia. 1t is expected that the
marriage will take place in Washington,
at st. Johns Episcopal church, in which,
less than a year ago, the Bayard- Clymer
wedding was solemnized.
Another match announced to come off
when Lent closes, and which has delicate
flavor of romance about it, is that of Mr..
Lawrence Turnure, Jr., and Miss Romano
Stone, the lovely daughter of Gen. Roy
Stone. The Tnrnures and Stones are both
in the Four Hundred, the first being one Of
the richest families III that array OF Ameri-
can Crpsuses. Gen. Stone is not wealthy
man. The Turnures usually spend the
summer at Lenox, where the ladies of the
family are very popular. and noted as fine
eQueStrianS. Miss Stone was their INSOFAR
able companion. although. unlike the Misses
Iurnure, her physique was delicate and her
beauty Of the spirituelle order. She has
been prominent in society for two seasons,
and at the last New Years ball was con-
sdered one of the loveliest women upon the
floor. Gen. Roy Stone, her father, is q man
who has literally risen from the ranks to
distinction in social and business affairs.
Miss Romano was much admired in Eng
land, and, it Is spid, has refused more than
one offer that would have been regarded by
many young women as very tempting in
deed. Two families are preparing for the
coming event, and tie brides trousseau has
been ordered from Paris.
There is another Turnure wedding on the
tapis too, the high contracting parties
being Mr.. Arthur b. Turnure, one of the
editors of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. a
ison of the late David Turnure, and nephew
of Lawrence Turnure, to Miss Lisa Harri
son, the daughter of Mr. Jared Harrison. a
prominent lawyer of New York city. The
bride is wealthy and is quite a social fav-
sorite. The wedding of Miss Grew, member
of one of the Oldest and most influential
families of the Hub" and Mr.. John Nor
gan, son of Mr.. Pierpont Morgan, will also
be celebrated about the same time. The
Crews rank with the Thayers, the Hig-
ginses, and the Searses in Boston society. A
good many Boston people favor New York
in the winter season, and the Crews have
been participants in many of the fashion
able festivities here this winter. Both fam
lies are immensely wealthy, the sisters of
the bridegroom being among the noted
heiresses of the Four Hundred Mr.. Morgan
is an active club man and is still we'll
under so.
A wedding that is likely to attract con-
siderable attention during the Eas tertide,
As that of Herman Oelrichs to Miss Theresa
Fair Of San Francisco. The engagement
has created more than a fiutter iu social
aud CLUB circles, for Mr.. Osrichs was con-
