A foul breath ia one OF the greatest
Affections that man or a woman can
have. An affliction not only to them.
selves, but to those with whom they
come in contact. foul breath is a
great discourager of affection. 1t
would probably be more so II people
only realized just what bad breath
means. Bad breath is one of the
symptoms of constipation. Some OF the
other symptoms are sour stomach, loss
of appetite, sick and bilious headache,
dizziness, heartburn and distress after
eating. These things mean indigestion.
They lead to dyspepsia and worse
things. They all start with constipa-
tion, and constipation is inexcusable
because it can be cured--cured easily,
quickly and permanently, by the use of

SOCIETY WAS SURPRISED
The Wedding Of Harry Payne Whitney
and Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt.
CEREMONY REMARKABLY QUIET
Its Simplicity Somewhat of a
Disappointment.

Newport. R. l., Aug. %. The we'd
ding of Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt,
oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, to Henry Payne
Whitney, oldest son of the former
Secretary Of the Navy. William g.
Whitney, took place at noon to-day at
the Breakers, the yanderbilt summer
residence. XII,
Although the wedding had been
awaited with great interest it was, in
a way, a disappointment to the ex-
: elusive set in society here, owing to
its simplicity. This was necessarily
so on account of the state OF Mr.. Van
derbilt's health, bis physician think
ing it unwise for him to undergo any
thing but the quietest ceremony.
Therefore, outside of the Immediate
bridal party only about so persons
we're present.
The legal marriage ceremony was
Magill, d. D., rector of Trinity
member. 1t was originally intended
that Bishop Potter should act in this
capacity. but Rhode Island laws forbid
clergyman from another State per-,
forming wedding ceremony here.
Therefore. the plan was changed and
Bishop Potter delivered the bene-
dictioD. The bride and her attendants
assembled in the upper hall and pro-
ceeded down the grand stairway. The
bride entered the room on the arm of
Chauncey M. nepew and proceeded to
the pridieu, where she was met by the
groom. Miss Vanderbilt was given
away by her fahter, who was wheeled
into the room on reclining chair.
Miss Vandsrbilt's gown, as we'll as
that OF each of her bridesmaids, was
from Paris. The BRIDES costume was
of white watered silk, trimmed with
old duchesse lace and pearls. She
carried bridal bouquet of stepha-
netias and gardenias. Mr.. Whitney
wore houtonniere of gardenias, the
best man a white orchid and the ushers
small sprays of lilies of the valley.
The boquets Of the FIVE bridesmaids
were of roses and lilies of the valley,
caught with broad pink satin ribbon,
upon which were embroidered lilies Of
the valley. Tho bridesmaids were the
Misses Sloane. Shepard, Gerry and
Taylor. Payne Whitney, who bias just
returned from Europe, was the best
Columbus Baldwin, Rawjins L. Con-
nenet and Alfred Vanderbilt. brother
of the bride.
After the ceremony the couple passed
into the gray room to receive their
guests. They occupied position be-
meath bower Of tropical foliage, sur.
mounted by canopy composed OF two
immense areca lutesceus. Seven stand
ard blooming rose trees, eight feet
high, alternately white and pink,
formed boundary to the line Of
guests.
