NEW YORK, April 2.--The invitations
for the wedding of Miss Coruelia Mar
tin to the Earl OF Craven have not y ct
been sent out neither have all the ar
rangementS been completed. In all
probability it will be the most brilliant
wedding ever seen in New York, and
quite as interesting as any event of the
kind, not only on account or the rank
of the bridegroom, but also owing to
the youthfulness of the bride, who will
lack more than six months of being sew
enteen years of age on her wedding
day. The wedding presents already re-
ceived by the bride are magnificent. All
the titled relatives of Lord Craven have
been most lavish with their gifts. Some
beautiful Jewels have been given by
members of the Craven family, but
nothing more superb than the collarette
of diamonds, which is the gift of the
Dowager Countess of Craven, sent to
The Youthful Bride
of her favorite grandson. Lady Craven
is past her eightieth year, and this mag
nifcent offering, one Of her own we'd
ding presents, set with the rarest and
most perfect old Indian diamonds, was
for many seasons the talk Of London.
The BRIDES grandmother, Mrs. Isaac
Sherman, has given her a necklace
composed of three strings of splendid
pearls, each carefully selected and all
beautifully matched. Mrs. Bradley
Martins gift to her only daughter is a
tiara of diamonds of perfect Indian
stones, an exact copy of that once worn
by the Empress Josephine. The
principal stones are set so
that they swing with every
movement. Lady Coventry and Lady
Cadogan, aunts of Lord Craven, and
his mother, Lady Craven, have given a
quantity of fine silver. Mrs. Brock
hoist Cutting and her sons, Messrs.
Brockholst and William Cutting Jr.,
gave a ring set with three splendid soli-
taire diamonds. The wedding. as has
already been announced, will take place
in Grace church Tuesday, April is, at
noon. Rev. DR.. William r. Hunting
ton, rector Of that church, will perform
the marriage ceremony. and Bishop
Potter will pronounce the bene diction.
While the invitations to the church will
be general, the wedding breakfast
will be

and most intimate friends. The brides
maids already chosen are Miss Ethel
Davies and Miss Alice Rochester,
cousins of the bride that is to be, and
Miss Daisy Post, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Post. The Hon. Rupert

Bishop Potter; James Abercrombie
Burden Jr. and Arthur Robert. Lord |
Craven will give to the bridesmaids |
coronet-shaped lace pins, and to his best |
man and ushers scarf pins of similar |
design. The BRIDES gown, made by |
Worth, is said to be the perfection |
of simplicity. 1t is made of |
white satin, which has absolutely |
no mlellishment. Jewels would, !
it was thought, be out of place until |
Miss Martin became the Countess of |
Craven. owing to her youth and the fact |
that she has never been introduced to |
society. The bridesmaids are to wear
pink silk and crepe, with big Gaines
borough hats. Lord Craven is greatly
