When the Misses Olivln and Laura Hoe-that
were-return to their fathers home with their
young husbands and demand forgiveness and
paternal blessing they will be backed by every
young member OF the family and all its
branches. They may DO supported. too. by
some Of the elders. and they will surely have
the support OF all their friends. The story of
their romantic marriages on Tuesday in st.
Marks Church to Mr.. Henry Lewis slade and
Mr.. Ernest Trow Carter which was printed in
THE Sun yesterday morning won the sympathy
OF New York society. The matrons scolded q
little-iust littlc.
The announcement Of the weddings. espe-
cally that Of Mr.. slade and Miss Olivia. created
profound sensation. That OF Mr.. Carter and
Miss Laura was not entirely unexpected.
though no one thought It would como 80 sud-
denly. Some time ago the announcement Of
their engagement was printed in some Of the
New York papers. Then. It Was said. Mr. Hoe
objected to Mr.. Carter as q son-in-law for some
unexplained reason. but he consented to the
marriage on condition that IL should not take
place until some time after he returned to this
country. He was at the time and is yet in Eu-
rope.
Only very intimate friends Of Mr.. slade
knew that he admired the elder Of Mr.. Hoes
daughters. and even they did not know Of her
attachment to him. It was said that Mr.. Hoe
also objected to Mr.. Slade. and that he did not
even wish him to call at the house. He had
not visited the house for long time. The at
tachment Of this couple was well concealed.
Intimate friends Of the Hoe family thought, SO
one Of them said yesterday. that Miss Olivia
thought Q great deal Of another young man
well known In New York society.
Just how the romantic double wedding
came to take place on Tuesday is hard to tell
It Ia certain that Mr.. Slade was the chief OF the
movement The Misses Hoe had been out Of
the city all the summer Last month and q
part Of this month they were in the Adiron-
dacks with their mother. Mr.. Carter also spent
q part OF the summer In the mountains. Mr.
slade stayed in the city. A week or 80 ago Mrs.
Hoe and the two daughters went to their sum-
mer home. few miles from KatonRh. They
have paid two visits to the city since then. The
first was several days ago. Mr.. slade and Miss
Olivia met there by appointment It is said
Afterward Mr.. Shade visited the Rev. DR.. Ry-
lance Of st. Marks Episcopal Church. The
ministers story Of the visit is this:
"Mr. slsde is member Of my congregation.
though know him but slightly. When he
called he told me he wanted me to perform
name. and confessed to me that there was
some opposition to the ceremony on the part
OF her parents. He did not tell me the nature
Of It. and did not ask him. supposing the
matter to be something trivial. consented to
perform the ceremony. He told me then that the
young WomAp's father was N. Paris- and that
her mother might not attend the ceremony be-
cause she knew Of her husbands objections
He told me what time he would be at the
church. and went away"
The second visit to New York was on Tues
day morning. Last week Mrs. Hoe sent word
to the servants in charge Of the house at IL
East Thirty-sixth street that she would return
home some time next week. and she instructed
them to get the house In readiness. It had
been closed all summer. and there was q good
deal of work to be done. Some of 1t Mrs. Hoe
wanted to superintend herself. 80 she decided
to come on and spend at least day there
Miss Olivia and Miss Laura curiously enough
got the shopping fever. 30 they decided to
come with her. They came on an early train
What arrangements had been made for Mr.
Slade and Mr.. Carter to meet them or where
they were to meet Is not known. Mrs. Hoe
started of for the house. leaving the young
women to do their shopping.
The next heard OF them was in st. Marks
Church. They stood there before the altar
when the Rev. DR.. Rylance arrived Mr.. Car
ter and Miss Laura were there simply as wit
