THE WORLD OF SOCIETY
Another Washingtonian to Become a
Duchess
The Coming Marrige OF Miss L0wery
to the Duke d'Arcos-Pcr.
aORal Notes.

Mr.. Archibald Lowery, with his son and
daughter. left this morning for their sum-
mer home at New London, where the mar
rage of Miss Virginia Lowery to the Duke
d'Arcos Spanish minister to Mexico will
take place early in October. Immeditely
after their marriage the duke will take
his bride to Mexico. The future duchess
will, however, spend next winter with her
father, preparatory to taking trip to
Spain with her husband for presentation
to the queen regent and to the family of
her husband. who is now at its head. The
departure of the Lowerys for their sum-
mer home was delayed by the recent death
Of Mrs Lowery, which occurred almost
on the eve of the time originally set for
Miss Lowery's wedding and in which her
mother was SO greatly interested The
latter has left a large fortune to be d.
vided equally between her son and daugh-
ter and many elegant Jewels. which will
adorn the future duchess. The culmina-
ton OF this international romance. which
dates back to Count 3runetti's connection
with the Spanish legation, has brought
pleasure to many who only know the cou-
pie slightly as well as those who hold them
in close friendship. After the counts re-
turn as Duke d'Arcos last spring his de-
votion for SC mary years was rewarded
by the consent Of the parents Of his bride
elect, the announcement of their engage
rnent and the setting of the wedding day
for June, when all was again upset by the
Illness and death of Mrs. Lowery. The
ing, will necessarily be quiet, but will be
attended by the Spanish minister and other
diplomatic friends Of the couple.
