Central Park, sat astr1de bicycle ana 81
multaneous shot dog, and has rescued
drowning men. but the tailor who MADE
the costumes wanted money, and, despite
the many accomplishments of the star OF

for the retirement of Mrs. Vanderbilt's
mansion on Madison avenue and Seventy

will wear blue sashes with their white
toilets. The lace hats are described as
being exceedingly pretty. The brides
maids dinner will be given at the Madison
avenue residence. What the souvenir
gifts to the young girls will be has been

young couple pass down the aisle of the
church the chimes shall ring. This will
be kept up for some time and Toulmin, a
celebrated harpist, will ring them.
