quent visitors to Mrs. Mckee at the White
House. A few days ago Miss Alice Wander
bilt Shepard astonished her friends as we'll
as her family circle by her marriage to
Mr.. Dave Henner Morris of Westchester,
N. Y. Mrs. Shepard refused her consent
to the marriage, and, while she accom-
panied her daughter into town, was not
present at the ceremony, which took place
at the Church of the TRANSPORTATION. Only
the groom's relatives were witnesses, with
the brides servant maid. The objection to
the marriage on the part of the brides
| mother did not develop until she found out
that the large fortune which Mr.. Morris,
inherited came from the successful VEN
lures of his father John A. Morris, on the
turf. His son, however, has no taste for
such pursuits, although he keeps the horses.

Will graduate in medicine from Harvard and
Will take up surgery as a profession. He
dislikes society and so does his young wife,

mon, they were mutually attracted from
their first meeting. Ex-Secretary Whitney
introduced them year ago aboard ship,
Miss Shepard being them under his guard
lanship on the way to Europe with his
daughters. Mrs. Morris will enherit a very
large fortune from her fathers estate.

with Mrs. Shepard will follow and that the
young couple will start their married life
quite as happily as If their union had been
