THE Americans have provided a distinguished
pedigree for Mary Anderson's mate. They
have discovered that he is descended from an
officer of Columbus, and that, therefore, he en-
joys the distinction not only of having dis
covered and annexed one of the most popular
of American actresses, but of having as an
ancestor one of the discoverers of the New
World. Henceforth Mr.. Navarro must not
shrink from being pointed outas Our Mary's
husband" Itis not precisely dignfed posi-
ton to be thus labeled, and shine with some
body else's light, but i is inevitable when a
wife has placed herself upon high pedestal.
Mrs. Navarro has not renounced the stage be-
cause she has changed her state. 1t is most
probable that she win play next winter in the
Uu!ted States TO keep faith with Mr.. Abbey
with Mr. Navarro. How droll it will look to

America, which Is inordinately curious, will
flock to see how Mary looks now that she has

broidery, and old lace-a Gothon-msde costume
in that eminent firms best style. Only the rel.
atives and the house party were present. at the
ceremony, as the chapel will not accommodate
100 people. Mr.. Jessup's presents to his bride
were greatly admired, They included diamond
riviere and tiara, pearl and sapphire neck
lace, several rings and brooches, and Monte
