CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATcH.I
WASHINGTON, July ia large num-
ber OF our society ladies are still in Wash
| ington. Some of these are Congressmen's
wives who help their husbands in their
Congressional work. Other leading Wosh-
| ington women prefer the comforts of their
homes here to the stuffy rooms at the sea-
shore, and there is as much visiting and
gossiping done just now as in midw1nter.
In the rounds of winter calls, when one sees
hundred women day, there is no chance
for condolences, and the spring and summer
are the best times to get information.
One of the latest bits is the engagement
| of Miss Mildred Fuller to Mr.. II. A. Wall
lace, of Tacoma. Miss Fuller is beauti-
| full girl. She has luxuriant blonde hair,
and her fgnre is as we'll rounded as that OF
the Venus de Medici. Her style, however.
is more that of Juno, and one Of her best
| points is the poise of her head, which, by
| the way, is much like that of her father.
She has complexion of creamy white, and
she shows much taste in dressing. Mr..
Wallace is one of the most promising law
yers of the new State of Washington. He
met Miss Fnller while he was visiting here
last winter as the guest of Senator Cock
rell. Mrs. Cockrell gave tea in his honor
| and Miss Fuller was one of the pretty aris-
tocrats who attended it Mr. Wallace,
am told, fell in love at first sight, and the
! aroma of the tea was mixed with the elixir
of love.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE WILL BUILD.
1 understand that the Chief Justice will
build house in Washington, and that the
big mansion of Senator Van Wyek will be
| again for rent. The Chief Justice has
| bought a lot on Rhode Island avenue be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth, and mis-
| mansion will probably be big one. Each
one of his girls is bound to have her own
bedroom in it, and this gives him demand
| of niue chambers as starter. 1t IS true
that Miss Pauline is married, but Miss
Mary Fuller, who is abroad studying music,
| will probably be home by the time the
house is completed, and the son of the Chief
Justice, although he is but lad of 10, de-
sires his own quarters.
The marriage OF Mr.. Jessup to an Earl's
daughter brings to mind several interesting
things besides the fact that the bridegroom's
wealth is supposed to offset the brides title.
AS rule international marriages are based
upon the brides money and the BRIDE
groom's title, the rich American girl and
the titled foreigner, she of course acquiring
title and equal social distinction. But
when an American millionaire goes abroad
and wins a titled wife, she cannot confer
upon him her title. She NAV be Countess
This or Lady That, but he remains Mr.. John
Jones or Mr.. Brown. The Countess would
precede her American husband, not as in
this country by the courtesy giving
woman precedent, but because OF her title.
MR.. JEssUP's BRIDE.
Mr.. Jessup's wife comes from a long line
of Earls, her father, the Earl of Strathmore
and Kinghorne, being the thirteenth in the
line of Earls, but the family lineage going
back to the feudal Barons of Forteviot in
1871, when there was royal blood by the
marriage of Sir John Lyon and Lady Jane
| Stuart, the daughter of King Robert IL,
who gave them Glamis Castle, in North
| Britain, ever since the country seat Of the
| family. To the old Quaker families in
| Philadelphia it is something of fairy tale
| that Augustus Jessup the son of Quaker,
| should marry an EarPs daughter, and to
| read that the bridegroom settled $3.50, 900
| on the bride" Mr., Jessup, as the old
! QuIkers know, is the nephew of Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore, who has been promi-
nent figure in London literary circles dur
ing recent years. Mr.. Bloomfield Moore
and his brother-in-law, the elder Mr.. Jes-
sup, amassed fortunes In the paper business
for publishing houses, among them the
Copperthwaites, publishers and booksellers.
The three families were at the time close
friends, and among the most prosperous
business firms of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Moore died after brief illness, leav-
ing large fortune to his widow. Mr.. Cop
perthwaite failed, but paid all his indebted
ness, but left mis- family poor. His daugh-
tiers were highly educated and accomplished
women. Two of them came to Washington
and obtained positions in the Government
service. One of the two now receives the
highest salary paid to perhaps six women
in the service. Fate had this worldly
destiny in store for the Quaker sisters-a
more worldly destiny for Mrs. Bloomfield
More, once Quakeress, now the fashion.
able society leader-and the Quaker boy,
Augustus Jessup, who the other day mar
ried this Earl's daughter.
THE sACKvILLE-wEsT WEDDING.
Another wedding more especially inter-
esting to Washington people is that of Miss
Victoria Sackville- West, the oldest daugh-
ter of the former British Minister, beau
tiful young woman, who, as hostess at the
British Legation, made many friends now
interested In her marriage. 1t is we'll
known that Miss West married her first |
cousin, Edward Lionel Sackville- 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 Wash
ington.
Many pleasant things about the wedding
have come back in letters to friends who de-
clare the bride must have looked ''lovely"
in her gown of white satin, orange blossoms
and diamonds. The ceremony was in Knole |
Chapel, where "a years ago the bridegroom |
had been christened, and some rare old |
Brussels lace then on his christening robe, |
was now the drapery on his brides gown.
The bride had many gifts of diamonds
tiara, necklace, brooch and pendent from
her father; round brooch of diamonds, pin
of sapphires and diamonds, rings and dia-
mond bangles from the groom. The bridal
pair are spending their honeymoon on the
Continent. Curiously the bride is now Mrs.
Lionel Sackville-West, the name of her
father.
WALTER DAM RoSCH's BRIDE.
News of another bride, Margaret Blaine,
is that Mr.. and Mrs. Damrosch are staying
quietly in Dresden. They will return home
about the 1st of September, and join the
brides family at Bar Harbor, where all are
likely to pass the autumn. 1t was not
until the Fourth" that the Blaine house
