Matte Mitchell had peculiar interest in
the most fashionable wedding which Chi
cago has enjoyed for q year or two. l do
not know that Miss Mitchell was even in
vited to the nuptiais Of Rose Farwsa,
daughter of Senator FarwelI, and Hobart
Chataald Taylor, a few weeks ago, but l
venture to say she read the newspaper &C
counts thereof with rare zest. Some years
ago, when he was very young man, Ho-
bart Taylor fell in love with Matte
Mitchell Probably it was his first love,
and for time it was a severe attack. Mr..
Taylor Ia a rich young man. He Is heir to
immense Land estates in Chicago For
some unfathomable reason his relatives
thought he was throwing himself away on
Matte Mitchell There is no evidence that
be ever proposed to the young lady, and as
likely as not he would have been rejected
If he had proposed. But he was sufficient
~ infatuated to do almost anything, and
his relatives set themselves about deVising
means of calling him away.
AT that time Mr.. Taylor had not come
into his possessions, and was living on an
allowance which was none too large for his
extravaganza tastes and luxurious habits.
He was almost if not quite as fond of
horses and equipages as he was of Matte
Mitchell, and knowing the young mans
weakness in this direction his shrewd Uncle
Chatfield was able to meet the emergency.
If you will give up Matte Mitchell, said
he, 81 will buy you tally-ho and four"
Young Taylor hesitated, sighed, and was
lost. He chose the tally-ho
We shall have to forgive Mr.. Taylor on
the score of youth and inexperience. Per
haps, moreover, he had a glimmering of
the truth that Miss Mitchell was beyond
his reach, and concluded he had better
take what he could get. No doubt Miss
Mitchell, if she thought seriously of the
matter one way or the other, concluded it
was good radiance. But Taylor has turned
out well. He has developed into man of
character and energy. His attempt to found
an American party was a lamentable, al
most ridiculous failure, but he has sue
ceeded in establishing at Chicago very
good weekly literary paper, America. Tay-
Tor himself is good writer, and man Of
force and originality, who is pretty sure to
make stir in the world.
His good sense and fine discrimination,
if discredited by his alleged exchange of
Matte Mitchell for tally-ho and four,
was finally established by his selection of
wife Rose FarweIl is a sweet and WON
anly little woman. Though reared in a
wealthy and noted family she was sim
plicity itself Her best friends were poor
neighbor girls at Lake Forest, her fathers
country home on the shore of Lake Mich
igan, few miles north of Chicago. And
when she was ready to be married to the
handsome and talented young millionaire,
and all the fashionables were in attend
ance, who did she have for bridesmaids
but number of her girl friends, the neigh
Dor girls whose fathers were clerks and
bookkeepers?
A little story of sweet Rose Farwell that
vas is worth telling, as all stories are that
illustrate the womanliness and the whole
some American character of those of our
girls that have been reared in luxury. AT
ter the marriage came preparations for the
bridal tour. The house was full of serv-
ants and plenty Of willing hands were
near, but the bride insisted upon packing
her own trunks. 81 want to know Just
where everything Is" she said. When the
trunks were ready and train time was near
she sent James for the wagon. BY the
time James and the wagon had come the
bride was dressed for her journey. Now,
James, she said, "be careful how you ham
die my trunks. They are full of pretty
things"
James was careful for his mistress stood
by and superintended the loading. Then
the good-by kisses were kissed, and to the
astonishment Of all the bride climbed upon
the wagon, seated herself on a trunk and
babe James drive to the station. II am
going to see that these trunks are properly
checked, " she said in explanation, "the men
are so careless And away to the station
and her bridal tour she went amid the
tears and laughter of her friends and rela-
tives. 1t seems almost pity that such
girl could not have married a poor man in
stead of millionaire.
Another Washington beauty whose fail
gossipers is Miss Letter, elder daughter of
Levi T. Letter, the millionaire who made
his money in Chicago dry goods and real
estate, and who pays Secretary Blaine
thousand dollars month for the privilege
of living in the secretsry's house on Du-
pont circle. There is a romance here too
Two or three years ago, while travelling in
Scotland, the Letters made the acQusint-
anoe of a young Scotsman of fine charac-
ter and great wealth. Between him and
the handsome American girl the little god
dess stirred up no end Of joy and trouble
JOY because the love was genuine and mu-
tual, and trouble because the stern parent
interfered, forbade further intimacy and
whisked his daughter away TO America. |
They do say that Miss Letter is o girl of
character and discrimination, and that she |
will wed the young Scotchman or not wed !
at all There is little satisfaction in |
knowing that the rich and fashionable /
have hearts and pains just like common |
folk.
From womanly beauty and the pranks |
of love TO jingling coin is an unpleasant |
descent But have q duty to perform. /
In my interview with the director of the /
mint couple of weaks ego made that |
gentleman say; The aInout OF gold in our |
gold coins has noe been changed stnoe we /
first began coinage in 1893, The alloy has
been changed, but not the amount of pure |
gold" 1t was very stupid of me to make /
Ar. Leech say that, for be said nothing of /
the sort. What he did say was that the 1
amount Of fine silver in the standard silver /
dollar has not bean changed sinoe we BE-
gan coming. The amount Of gold in the |
gold dollar has been changed several times |
