| ouu Tor anything that circumstances have
recently arranged themselves so fortunately
for two young women well known in
| society here. These attractive daughters
| OF certain deceased army officer who
was conspicuous FOR gallantry during the
| Custer massacre made their home in this
| city for some reasons. Finding times very
| hard, however, and their incomes yisibly
reduced, they decided to visit friends
in the South, thus combining business
with pleasure.
On the way to Florida railway ac-
| cident occurred, delaying them over
| night at a most uninteresting station,
whose best hotel boasted only the most
| moderate accommodations. Now the same
wreck retarded the progress OF the north
| bound train, on which an enormously
wealthy ''oil king accompanied by his
son, fine looking chap, quite twenty-Gne
| years of age, was returning to his northern
home. The informality OF the occasion
which caused these persons TO occupy the
same table at supper, and mutually enjoy
fried ham and eggs from the same gen
erously heaped platter, brought about other
casual incidents. The result was the
capture Of the heart OF the elderly widower
by the pretty younger sister, followed
by her marriage to him in New York
some months later. The sequel TO this
story is no less interesting for wedding

the older young woman to the stepsOn
OF her sister. by this union Miss Orphan.

law and her step-sons sister-in-law. Miss
Orphan, ST.. viii be- pat 81 possession of
certain superb and world famous Jewels,
the property of the first Mrs. Oil King, and
Inherited by her son. and there are several
other confusing consequences which time
VIII probably render more amusing.
Among the interesting items and statistics
so FAR furnished the public with regard to
the Vanderbilt Marlborough wedding, Gne
humiiiaung fact has remained unrevcalcd
until now. The comprchensively swell list
OF invitations for theoccas sion, printed yester-
day, shows that only 2 Jones' . Smiths,
/ BTowtIs, and RobinsonS are included
among expected guests. Query: Whatever
have these representative American families
been gone and done'' that they should
ugure 50 moderately at such function?
In addition to the diplomatic representa-
tives who will make their bows 20 society
