D'Arcos Early in October.

CoupIes-Mrs. Stokes Trunks.

Mr.. Archibald Lowery left the city yes
teriay morning, accompanied by his daugh-
ter, 10 spend the remainder Of the summer
IL New London. 1t is understood that the
marriage of Miss Lowery TO the Duke
D'Arcos VIII take place the first week in
October, but on account of the deep mourn
ing in which the family now is owing TO
the recent death of Mrs. Lowery, it Will
be a very quiet affair.
whether or not 1t viii be celebrated in
New London or IN Washington is not yet
definitely decided upon, but the chances are
in favor of the latter place, as Miss Low
eryhas always been devoted churchwoman
and all OF her associations, as well as those
OF her family, are in washington. The
marriage VIII be celebrated in the morning,
ana VIII be followed by wedding break
fast of the most quiet description.
The Duke. who has been engaged lately
in hunting up a suitable house in which to
establish his future bride, VIII take her mi
mediately after the ceremony TO Mexico,
to which country he was accredited minis
ter from Spain somewhat less than a year
ago.
II is probable that the next winter will be
spent / n Spain. as the Duke, who belongs TO
Spain, desires as soon as possible after
his marriage To present his bride at court.
There are few marriages in society SO
fraught with general interest as this one,
from the fact that it VIII be the happy
cuIuination OF love story begun twenty
years ago and OF a faithful adherence
TO each other during all that period.
TIE brides and grOoms up in Connecticut
romantic in their honeymoon and at the
same time none too plethoTiC purses where
with 10 crafty this longing, have hit upon
something that is likely 10 commend itself
10 other honeymoon couples throughout the
Union. This is to spend the bIissful early
days Of their married life in a street car.
Not one that is in active use but one that
has been retired from service and after
! having been hauled away to some secluded
/ spot III the country or down by the seashore
/ has been fitted MP in camping style for the
honeymoon occupation.
An manner OF ingenious devices are re-
sorted to in order TO give these honeymoon
/ lodges pretty and hOme-like appearance.
! Where the car is hauled TO the scashOrc. as
near the water as practicable with posi-
hle high tides III view, 4 pretty striped a wn-
/ ing is rugged up over the front or rear plat
/ form, the seats ere all removed, and a fold
I ing bed, which IN day time does duty as 4
! lounge, is placed across one end of the car.
The opposite end of the car is fitted up
4 as diningrOom by means of poTtieres if
/ 50 desired. Then the dining-table, when not
/ in duty Tor such. can serve for a card table.
Sometimes this is made to occupy less room
/ 10y having it made as a drop shelf attached
TO one side OF the car. With an oil stove,
or If preferred, cooking appliances set up in
i the open air outside, the car is complete and
ready for use. According 10 Individual taste
the various little brackets and hanging &
/ shelves are set up wherever desired TO hold
/ the extra suits Of outing and few necessary
/ things fora camping trip.
This idea is given for what 1T is worth
1 to the brides and grooms OF the District
/ who may care 10 avail themselves Of it
as there are any number of picturesque spots
within easy access OF Washington to
! which an old car could be taken with COM
! paratiyely small cost.
This idea has In it a strong suggestion
OF the life described by Frank Stockton
in "Rudder Grange" when Pomona added
to the attractions and distractions gener-
ally on the disbandoned canal boat.
1t is by no means necessary that those
camping out for the season or any por-
tiOn thereof in an old car should neces-
sarily be OF the bride and groom cata-
logue. Others to whom the honeymoon
is an old story, as well as those TO whom
il VIII never be anything but tale told
by others, are equally eligible for the
! happy unconventional life described. Young

equally small income, or several girl stu
