NEW YORK. Sept. 7, 1S91.-The marriage
bells have been tnkling in the California
colony. Perhaps you all know that Miss
Jessie Mabel Gregg was married to Mr..
Edgar Stilman Kelly some weeks ago. But
l wager you do not know how she looked
and what she wore. And that is what it is
my pleasure to tell you. You know Miss
Jessie Mabel Gregg is pretty Oakland girl.
who is brilliant musician. And everybody
knows what clever things in music have
emanated from the brain OF Mr. Edgar S.
Kelly, and how skilfully and with what
daintiness, verye and power he handles the
bow and wakes the harmonies of the violin.
1t seems quite ideal that these two lovers of
music should be lovers of each other.
They were married in st. Georges Church,
one Of the fashionable sanctuares Of
Gotham. 1t was wedding at high noon.
The bride, who is a chataine, with lovely,
large blue-gray eyes, peachy com plexion
and soft, brown nair and prettily rounded
figure, was dressed in closs-fitting.
simply made travelling suit. She was
given away by her uncle, DR.. Will
lam II. Gregg, who is physician
and writer well-known in the medical cir
cles of New York. During the ceremony
the wedding march was played upon the vio-
lin with organ accompaniment. The vio-
linst is fair Hungarian who plays divinely,
and as she is friend of the Mr.. and Mrs.
Kelly, she played with more than usual
grace and expresSion-as one naturally
would in service of love. Mr. and Mrs.
Kelly, after enjoying with happy
hearted group of friends wedding dinner,
went for brief honeymoon, returning from
which they occupied the lovely apartment OF
Mrs. w. II. Gregory, formerly Of Oakland.
California. 1t goes without saying that the
host of friends that Mr.. and Mrs. Ke lily
have in San Francisco and Oakland wish
them no end of joy. May the sorrows they
may have to divide be small; may the Joys
they double be great! know many one
will readily echo this epistoary toast.
AND ANOTHER CALIFORNIAN

a charming Californian VINO has made many
friends in New York. She Is one OF the
managers Of the New York Exchange for
Women's Work. Her husband, DR.. Gilman
Thompson, is one of the prominent pnysi-
clans of this city. He was resident physi-
clan at Onteora Park, in the Catskfis, this
summer. This is an ideal park. 1t Is en-

the cottages. Her daughter, Mrs. Dora
Wheeler Keith, had her pencil in the plans,
too So you can readily imagine what ar
tistic summer homes adorn Onteora Park.
Tie cottages are made Of the slabs OF clap
boards of the spruce and balsam. The
lovely smooth gray-green bark seems Just

around. Porches with ratings OF white

tagers. 1t is picturesquely built OF logs
and is decorated with skins OF foxes and
bears. L cannot tell you in detail how very

of note. Frank Stockton, Mary Mapes
Dodge, Mr.. and Mrs. Laurence Hutton,

monial felicity seems conducive to good
play-writing.
Rough cheviots are coming into vogue for
autumn wear. The tint of the deep brown
autumnal leaf SPOT with the lighter shade
of the yellow one are favOrte combinations.
Clear white and ivory brocades are the
most swagger-the very smartest toilets
among the care-free dressers of swelldom.
1t is "terrble liberty to say it mildly,
for any one to take with her complexion,
unless it is faultless. A white silk gown
