New YORK, June 1S.-[Special cable to
the New York Uorld. Isn't it earlyl Our
Mary is married at last to Antonio Navarro
and gone away on the honeymoon. sFor
some reason not apparent, she has chosen
to surround the event with every appear
ance of mystery, even going so far as to
get her name wrong at church inserted in
the newspapers. Early this morning a
large crowd surrounded Brompton oratory
and waited hours to see the bride, who was
going to be married at the church six miles
away. Tony Navarro even went 80 far as
to tell a personal friend yesterday after
noon that his mother in Italy was very i'll
and that the marriage would be unavoid-
ably postponed. Your correspondent re-
ceived telegram from Dr. Griffin saying
the plans had been suddenly altered and
that the wedding would take place at
a West End church. Yet at this
very hour our Mary had unpacl,ed her en-
broidered white satin wedding dress, which
arrived from Paris yesterday, and was her
self assisting in decorating the little Holy
hill chapel in which all along she intended
to be married. Even on the bridal morning
Mary did not neglect her early mass; she
has not missed it for years when she has
this morning she left home, attired in
plain dress, blue sailor jacket and the usual
big feathered hat. She was accompanied
| by an elderly lady dressed in mourning.
They proceeded to the chapel and attended
st. Mary's convent, which has existed since
| 1916. There our Mary made her last con
fession and received her last mass under
the name of Mary Anderson. After Mary
and her companion left the church the doors
were locked and barred, not a soul being
| permitted to enter. The chapel is only
large enough to hold 200 people. The
chancel was a mass of white flowers, ferns
and palms. On the altar twelve tall candles
were burning. The choir of acolytes in
surplices filed out of the convent through
the house of priests into the church.
Presently two nuns came, conducting six
tiny orphan boys, each carrying
a hand basket of pink flowers.
and which after the ceremony
was concluded they strewed along the aisle
of the chapel. One of these little fellows,
whose special duty was to carry the train
of the brides dress, was dressed in white
satin, and wore his curls in lovelocks'down
to his shoulders. At ten minutes to IL,
/ hanson drove up to the church, and out of
it stepped Antonio and Alfonzo Navarro,
the bridegroom and his best man. a few
moments after their arrival, the organ of
the chapel struck up wedding march and
ICOn5luuGl play uubll VI HOUR
later, when the bride also was within the
closed doors of the chapel. After the
groom, the first to arrive was the step
brother and sister of the bride, and
then came Joe Anderson and his wife
then DR.. and Mrs. Griffin, and
then for a few minutes all eyes of the large
crowd of people outside were turned ex-
pactantly to see Mary Anderson arrive
While everybody was looking down the
hill carriage and pair, with closed blinds,
drove up and reached the church door, and
almost before anyone was aware of its ar
rival there stepped out the tall figure of
our Mary robed IN white, embroidered with
satin and covered from head to foot in a
white tulle veil surmounted by small
wreath of orange blossoms. The only jewels
she wore were pearls, pure and white like
her dress. She carried a big white bOu-
quet. She was looking calm, q trit1e pale,
} and apparently seemed annoyed at the
presence of the crowd she made so many
efforts to avoid. She was followed imme-
diately by her stepsister, Miss Griffin,
looking no whit less lovely than Mary
and wonderfully like her in form and fea-
ture. When they entered, the doors were
closed. The bride was given away by her
brother Joe. The only bridesmaid was her
stepsister. After the ceremony the party
returned to Grifin's house, where the wed
ding breakfast was prepared.
This afternoon a brougham drew up at
Charing Cross station, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Navarro stepped out, unobserved by any
| one. They took the train for Tunbridge
: Wells, where the Griffins once lived, and
} went to the Wellington hotel, where a
small suite of rooms was engaged. They
had little luggage. Their stay in Tun
bridge is indefinite and the couple will
/ probably proceed to Venice.
Your correspondent was told on the best
authority to-day that Mary was engaged
to be married for nearly two years tC
