Mr.. r.. NJ. Green and Miss Mamie
Yoke, daughter OF Mr.. Charles Yoke,
and one OF Alexandria's pretty young la
dies. were married in Christ church yes
terday by the Rev. DR.. Sutor, the rector.
A large throng of the friends of the
happy couple witnessed the ceremony.
They left for trip through the North.
II is more than probable that the
Democrats of this city will hold grand
iollifcation- to make merry over
the recent election some time early IN
next week. Already efforts are on foot
to get 1t up, and it Is more than probable
that they will be successful. II the meet
ing is held old Alexandria will be paint
ed red by the rejoicing Democrats.
THE Mt. VERNON AVENUE.
There is plan on foot to organize
the Mt. Vernon Avenue Association into
a stock company for the purpose of
building the avenue anyhow, without
the aid of Congress. 1t is proposed TO
take what IS known ~ the eastern route
through this city and to lay the avenue
from the south end of the new bridge
over the Potomac, through Alexandria
county to this city. thence along Wash
ington street into Fairfax coun-
ty, and through 1t to the
Tomb OF Washington at Mt. Vernon.
A meeting of the Avenue Association
will be held here tomorrow and the
plans for the proposed changes will be
discussed, and if found feasible will
doubtless be acted upon.
Should the new road be built it will
prove of great value to this part Of Vir-
ginia.
PROSPEROUS FAIp.
The union fair now being held by the
different churches of this city for the
benefit Of the Alexandria Infirmary will
close tonight. The fair has had most
prosperous run of five nights and will
put goodly amount Of money in the

"Peabody" Coats Cause Embarrassment
TO Hosts and Guests.
The latest thing in coats for some peo-
pie is the long, double-breasted Peabody
with rough, shaggy nap. These coats
are so heavy that an Oyercoat, except IN
very cold weather, is superfluous.
The other evening two young men
happy in the possession of brand-new
Peabodies called on some young ladies
on the South Side, says the Chicago Mail
One of the hostesses took the gentle
mems hats and stood as if expecting to
receive some other articles Of their ap-
parel. An awkward and embarrassing
pause was finally broken by the lady,
who said:
"I hope you both intend 70 spend the
evening with us?" They did, and they
frankly said so. The hats were laid
aside and conversation was undertaken.
But it Jagged. The ladies appeared
nervous and i'll at ease. After a few
minutes one of them said:
at must be uncomfortably warm
here for you. Won't you take off your
coats? Do take them off; I'm sure you
would be more comfortable"
The thunderstruck callers were unable
TO speak for full half minute then the
two heart-broken young men explained
that their faultless Peabodies were not
oyercoats, and peace again reigned.
