NEW York, Nov. 26-Summer saw the
wooing, winter welcomes the wedding Of
bellies who reign In New York society.
This is the way fashion burries engage
ments into marriages nowadays: she out
strips love himself in her behests, but now
the bellies are ready for them both.
Discussion how their courtships grew,
And talk of others that are we'd
And how she looked and what he said.
That is what people do after the wedding,
but why may we not anticipate the events
by few brief weeks
The first names upon the lists are those
of belle with fabulous dowry and an
American paucity Of title. and an English
man with titled brother and a British
paucity OF fortune.
The belle is Miss Grace Wilson of New
York and her fance Cecil Barring, Sec
ord son Of Lord Rsvelstock, whose title
has been recently created.
Miss Wilson does not seem TO mind the
fact that her fiance will probably never be-
come a lord, however, and it 10 because
she is so lovely and popular girl that peo-
pie say her marriage will be a
happy international episode. 1t was
dated for November, but it has been post
poned on account of the death Of Lady
Ravelstock. and it will nov be quiet affair.
Miss Wilson'S dot is $1,OO0,O0O, but her
handsome. blonde face may be her greatest
fortune after all.
Probably the largest and most fashion,
able wedding of early winter will be- that of
Miss Maria del Vale of New York to the
Marquis de Casa Argudin OF Madrid. This
marriage Of wealthy. highly connected aud
handsome young society people is also an
international event, with the flavor OF
romance about it.
Miss del Vale is a remarkably handsome
Parlsian-hred girl, with delicate oval face,
long brown eyes and soft dark hair. The
marquis is of the accepted type of Spanish
good looks.
Botn are very young, very well educated,
and much travelled, Miss del Vale having
spent several months on the continent with
her cousin, the Duchess Of Manchester.
The marquis-and in this he differs from
most foreigners who marry American heir
esses-is wealthy enough to own fine house
and in New York large stables and num-
bers OF good horses.
The engagement, which followed the third
meeting Of the two, will be of precisely the
proper length-three months-and it will
be merged into marriage at the proper
hour-high noon of some January day.
Tho marquis, who Is too independent TO
belong to a regiment or to be connected
with legation, will take his bride abroad
for the winter.
The prettiest girl at Tuxedo" Autoinette
GuiOn, will shortly marry in a much-talked-
about fashion. Again lie the bridegroom an
Euglishman, and, moreover, an Englishmau
Of untitled distinction. This is altoget her
right If he is to wed a girl who is tall
enough. finely formed and brilliantly
enough to be described as the prettiest girl
round about Tuxedo.
Just at present her fiancs, Koran B.
Nugent is on his way to Mexico to decide
whether or not he wishes to accept the con-
sulate offered him there. He is already
British vice consul at New York, and peo-
pie are hoping he will stay here with his
popular bride
Other weddings long whispered about
beyond the hearing of the outside world
are coming in now in dazzling array
Charlotte Hunnewel Winthrop, daughter
of Edgerton j. Winthrop, will marry
Henry Sergeant Cram, one of that
large and well-kuown family of Grams,
Nov. 29, at Old Trinity church. Newport
They will marry at high noon, with the
caterers and florists latest whins, aud
they, too, will spend the winter in Europe
Miss Winthrop has lived Ia Paris so long
that she is almost Partisan in her tastes.
George II. Holt's daughter, Nora, will
marry Alfred Hooper OF Detroit at the
Church Of the Heavenly Rest, in New York,
Deo. 10.
The society papers will describe it as a
''crush church affair, with a wedding
breakfast ct the home Of the bride,n but the
details are still hidden in the deep designs
of caterer and florist. Not much more is
known of Miss Jennie Fosters approaching
marriage to William C. Bowers, at Calvary
church in New York. sometime In January.
Miss Foster is the daughter Of Gen. John
A. Foster, and certain clique Is standing
on tiptoe to learn something about some-
thing shrouded in bonded society.
Jan. Is is the date of Miss Florence Kip's
wedding to Arthur c. Humbert This is
too remote as yet to have created any very
lively excitement, although Miss Kip is
well-kuown in city circles here.
AS TO engagements, Alice Cowdins to
Hamilton Hoppin is now beyond tie shadow
OF doubt.
All the papers have it in their society
column; 50, Of course, the dashing belle
must become dashlng young matron this
winter. The wedding arrangements, how
ever. are still entirely in nebula.
1t is currently reported that Marie Have
meyer is engaged to Perry Tiffany. but this
is a some What dubious announcement in the
form of fact. It's neither denied nor af-
hrmed; 1t will be in q state Of suspended
agitation for some time probably.
Everything has paled temporarily before
the lpster OF Drexel-Penrose on Thursday,
Nov. II. 1t was the very perfection of the
wedding idea, but it was noticeably different
in its floral decorations from the comm z
fashions of florists creations. 1t was white
wedding, and the only flowers used we're
white cnrysaGthemums among forests of
palms Very lovely, indeed, but bit
wearisome as one went from chrysanthe-
mum channel to chrysanthemum break
fast.
But the bridesmaids in their white silk
gowns and broad, white felt ostrich-tipped
hats, the bride in her tufts ofexquisite point
lBce and the solemnly chanting full choral
service were beyond criticism. Bhth house
and church decorations Of the one flower
banked In palms were gorgeous in their
profusion, and in that Miss Drexel
has set the fashion for the winter.
Others of the brides whom l have mentioned
will repudiete the oue-hower idea, however.
A florist gave me his design for December
wedding which is so novel and magnificent
that il is reproduced.
