watching her from one of the parlOr
windows.
1t was ascertained that Mr. Wander
bits valet had procured tickets for the
couple for Saratoga, where a portion
of the honeymoon will be spent.
There were no invitations to the we'd
ding issued, but cards were sent out
announcing the marriage which reads
as follows: Mr. and Mrs R. T. Will
son announce the marriage of their
daughter, Grace E., with Cornelius
Vanderbilt Jr., Monday, August 3,
1896, at 511 Fifth avenue"
A single carriage stood in front of
the Wilson residence during the cere-
mony in which the bridal couple were
conveyed to the railroad station.
The courtship of Miss Wilson and
MIR. Vanderbilt has been beset with
more trials than fall to the lot of the
average couple, and particularly people
occupying their station in life 1t is
couple of years since young Wander
bilt became enamored of Miss Wilson.
His parents did not approve of the
match and did not hesitate to say so.
but they did not make their opposition
very strong, thinking that the attach
ent would wear away in time. In
this Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt were mis-
taken, for time only increased the de-
yOtion of the couple. The objections
of the young mans parents centered
mainly on the disparity in ages OF
the contracting parties, young Wander
bilt being at the time scarcely 81 and
Miss Wilson being at least eight years
his senior.
Last summer the Wilson's went
abroad and it was generally supposed
that the Vanderbilts would go too:

America and Vanderbilt's attentions
tC her were more marked than ever.
She had not been in New York more
than two or three weeks before Cor
nelius Vanderbilt. Sr., sent his son to
Paris. He had hardly been settled
across the water before Miss Wilson
started for France with her family.
MIR. WhitehOuse, a real estate man, was
then sent abroad with the delicate
mission to try to break the engage
ment. That he did not succeed was
shown by his speedy return to Amer
lea while Vanderbilt. Jr., and the Will

what was intended to be a final in

meeting was a stormy one, it is said.

that his life was despaired of for
week or more. Mr. Vanderbilt. Sr.. re

fective. There is never any installing
of his position on any issue. He

fight and no other District in the

setic Representative than the Fourth.
