last summer season, ana was perpetually
courted and faitered, there is not young
woman in the State WHO Is more generally
praised behind her back than she. Riches have
not spoiled her. She does not, lise others have
done, turn up her nose at those friends whom
the family knew when her father was hard
working mining man on the Comstock or IN Cal
ayeTas.
She was born In Virginia City In September,
1870 five years before her father James g.
Fair, afierward United states Senator from Ne
vada, with bis companions, Flood, OBrien and
Mackay, reaped their golden harvest in the
bonanza excitement
when a mere child and here she was educated.
She Is the favorite child of both father and
mother There are three other children IN me
family-JameS G. Fair Jr. and Charles far,
young men, aud Miss Birdie Fair, who made her
debut last season.
Notwithstanding she Is only few months over
10 years Of age. The fair bride plays on several
musical instruments with rare skill; paints so
well In oil that her canvases can be displayed
upon The walls OF her rooms with pIide; can sus-
tain conversation on literary subjects aud
show an acquaintance with many authors, and
has not forgotten her early a!tainments In em-
brOdery and fancy worE. She has Travelled ex-
tensivey, visiting all points OF interest In Eu-
rope, and wherever she has gone she has been a
Keen observer OF everything.
She Is very fond OF outdoor exercise, and Is q
daring aud tireless swimmer as she has proved
at Monterey aud Santa Cruz, where she won
more attention than any other young lady on The
beaches.
She handles horse with judgment and
strengths; can beat many an experienced hand
at bowling; has obtained an enyiable skill In ten
mis-, ana has taken 10 fencing. Exercises like
this have made her strong without diminishing
the delicacy OF her complexion. When not at
The seaside resorts she was In the habit of max
Ing daily trips TO Harbor View, accompanied by
her boon friends, Miss Belle Smith, daughter OF
Mrs. William ii. Smith, and Miss Jennie Blair
daughter OF Mrs. Samuel Blair, and a masculine
escort.
The bride has dark eyes, very black hair, a 6g-
uTe above the mt dlum height, fashioned attrac-
lively, is graceful In movement. She always
dresses richly. II Is unusual to find one in her
position as averse to fiattery as she is. She is
said to be able TO Judge character quite accur-
and sincerity

A Most Elaborate Display of Artistic
Taste.
The preparations for the wedding at the hand
some Fair residence, on the corner OF Pine and
Jones streets. were OF very elaborate character.
Owing 10 the necessary dlsprOportion between
the wish and the material capabllity Of any
private family 10 entertain within Its doors so
large a circle of friends as that possessed by The
Fairs, the resources of unlimited wealth were
called Into requisition 10 meet The difficulty.
By happy thought large circular marquee
was erected a leveled stage platform con.
nected with the east portico. This was inter.
nay made one blaze OF flowers aud electric
light. providing an ideal scene for the wedding
supper.
But II was 10 the house Itself that Miss Bates
the decorator, had surpassed herself, and the
description OF the fairy tent must walt for the
moment. Entering the hallway under an i'm
mense wreath OF pink roses the guests found
themselves at once transported to another Isle of
Paphos. Against a background OF dark foliage
"a regular hedge OF upright posts covered with
ferns and grasses and white lilles-depended
perpendicularly a fair bridal wreath OF orange
blossoms from which fell In every direction The
gOssamer folds OF silvery and rosy red bridal
yelling, enmeshed with flight OF Venus own
snowy doves. Miss Fair herself had made this
sole suggestion for the Introduction OF her
favOrlte doves ana the idea was perfectly car
ried ont. Behind the distant "hedge" lay perdu
the string orchestra and side niche had been
reserved for the vocal choir Of white -gowned
ladies. On one side hung white satin banner
inscribed with tue apothegm: Love- That Old
Song OF Which the World Is Nevsr Weary" in
red, and over the hat-rack shot great branches
OF white fOx.gl0yes, caught up with musical ms
struments made OF red flowers The banisters
were thlckly screened with reed grasses and fair
Bermuda lilies, while 1000 La Marque roses
made uD IN wreaths contributed 10 the general
lily whiteness. which was aceebtuated by The In
termingled rosy touches OF art In the ball scene.
THE UPPER HALLWAY.
Passing hastily through and ascending TO the
dressing-rooms above, the guests came upon the
upper hallway, where The magnificent wedding

picturesque groupings OF exOtics. The dressing
rooms were simply decorated with great bowls
