their new house, on Fifth avenue, the
became a bachelors club. In its way
it was looked upon as white
elephant. and something too big for a
private house, though now its size is COM

larger, which literally dot our leading fash
ionable residential streets In this beautiful
place which, though seen from Fifth avenue,
is entered from Forbes street, Mr. and Mrs.
George Dilworth will give reception for
their daughter Immediately following the
religious ceremony at the church.
