of this extravaganza that many persons
prefer to be welded in London. In the
great city on the Thames a couple may
be married in fashionable church for
a third OF the money that wedding
would cost in America, not to mention
the fact that there is no necessity Of an
elaborate breakfast or supper.

still prefer America, cost what it Will.
One OF these is Miss Louise Shepard,
daughter OF Colonel Elliott f. Shep-
ard, who will be married during the
winter to Mr.. William j. Schiefelin.
The wedding will be one Of tho most
brilliant Of the season. Miss Shepard

sports. splendid horsewoman and
good hand at an oar. Like her mother
and father she is OF a religious turn OF

in St Bartholomew Sunday-School.

house shows her TO be a singularly
beautiful girl, with q head that Sir
Joshua Reynolds would have liked to
paint Some day she win be worth a
good many millions Her fathers house
on Fifth avenue is now being redeco-
rated and put in order for the nuptials.
Tho bridegroom elect is a well-known
society man. He is nearly six feet tall,
and he and his fancee make a striking
couple. lie was educated abroad, prin-
cipally in Heidelberg, and is a junior
member OF the great drug house that
bears his fathers name. He has given
much study to chemicals and is rated
very high in his line by experts. He is
worth considerable money, and with
his brides dowry, will be able to enter
tain as we'll as anybody in the circls
of younger married people.
Another wedding that viii attract at
tention, and one in which society peo-
pie not only in London but all over this
country are interested, is that of Miss
Charlotte de Zerega. daughter OF Mr..
John de Zerega, who is to be married to
Sir Frederick FARMLAND, an English
man and cousin CT Mr.. Charles Pei
