1t is expected that {ae Wedding VII lie
one OF tie Easter 1851 S.rleS and ,i'1t il VIII
take piece III Es>icr1 cid st. Johns, where
so many international marriages, with
Washington girls as tho hriCes, have oc-
Cured.
The third international marriage likely
to be one OF the events of the spring VIII
be thar OF MIS- EuloIe Watson to Mr.
Enagenhe Jim, OF the Swedish legation.
WAiIc the attGcntlGLt between the young
paople in this case cannot De reckoned Gs
an affair OF very long standing, il is GER
tainIy to he classed as love affair, since
the young lady's parents, though rich,
being the happy possesSors OF large
family, VIII have to GO considerable IN
the way of long division when it comes
to a final partition of property and set
tlement OF dots for each daughter.
There are other weddings OF interest
set for Easter that have to do with the
intermarrying of Washingtonians. Prom
inent in this list is tEat OF Miss Kate
Hopkins, daughter of Representative
Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, who since his
retirement from Congress has made lis
elect is MIR Horace Wylie, son of Judge
Wylle. who will inherit a large fortune
/ eventually. The great square house on
( Thomas Circle attha junction OF Fourteenth
! a,2d NJ streets, owned by Judge Wyle, was
! on the point of being purchased few years
! since by Chief Justice Fuller for the sum
/ OF $500, goo. Everything necessary for the
! completion of the purchase had been ar
| ranged and the final transfer of the prop
! erty only awaited the signature of Mrs.
! Wylie.
THIS at the very last moment she refused
| to give as she found her attachment for
| the place she had SO long called home was
greater than any possible advantage accru-
! ing from having disposed Of the property
al good round sum would have been.
! TIE Wylies have continued TO live iii the
| comfortable old place, and it is likely tbat
| their son will finally take up his residence
there with his bride. The present plan is
| for the Young couple to be married in Easter
week and go at once abroad to spend the
summer in travel on the continent.
Two other marriages to take place in
| April will be Miss Frances Cox to Mr.
E. Eveleth Whiting and that of Miss A nne
Howard Rundlett to DR.. j. c. Mcclure,
The latter will take place on the Gath
| OF April.
Mrs Sheridan is at once one Of the quiet
| est and most conspicuous figures in Wash
| ington society. Since the death of Gen.
| Sheridan until the present winter, when
| she introduced her eldest daughter to So
1 ciety, Mrs, Sheridan has taken little, if
| any, part in the gay doings OF Washington.
| The seasons, as they came and went, were
