queenly effect of her costume. She wore 1t
as do the fair representatives of society who

Mr. Ward McAlister will give a dinner
| tonight in honor OF the Earl of Craven and
| Miss Bradley Martin. Their wedding on
| Wedn esday will be The marital event of the
! season. The wedding Invitations excited a
deal of comment. They were written in
! silver on cream-colOred paper, and the way
| the capitals were generously inters persed-
| for instance, for Daughter" Com pauy 4"
| and so fOrth-Qute bewildered the plain
American mind used TO exquisite simplicity
| and purely copy book style of chrography
and grammatical rules for capitalizing. Il
| Is OF course "the thIng-the very uttermOst
thing, or the Bradley Martins would not
have 1t. London dictates what is the neces-

ushers are CHARACTERISTIC and pretty. They

rare old Burgundy and c,aret the cellar OF
the Tuxedo cottage which Mr.. Lorillard

The weather continues to be eccentric
and ''spooky" almanac is the authority
for the current opinion that the summer
Will DO an unusually cool one. Ii this is
true, then cholera avaunt and gayiy whizz

Worlds Columbian Exposition.
