traordinary occasion, in which not only the
fashionable society of Philadelphia will be
fully represented, but some of the most
prominent people in New York and many
titled and other notable personages con-
nected with foreign legations from Wash

dance, the sweet-faced young Quaker belle

this afternoon. In accordance with certain
legal requirements and at the suggestion of
legal representatives of the families on both
sides, they went before the Mayor this
afternoon and went through the prelimin-
ary form of civil marriage according to
foreign usages. In accordance with Bava-
rian law and usage it is absolutely neces-
sary. 1t was a very cut-and-dried per-
functory affair. and consisted of their
merely reciting the formula and signing of
the blanks by themselves and witnesses.

counselor, and two of the Mayors clerks

Russian and other legations. They will
wear their court uniforms. The bride will
be in white satin without any ornaments
whatever. The reception that is to follow
the wedding ceremony will be very large

fashionable bellies and matrons of PhiladeI-

bride-elect is very popular.
