and charming women, who offered their
congratulations and drank to the health
and happiness of the young couple in
bumpers of champagne.
Miss Catherwood, the fair young bride

Daring, wife of the gallant major of the
Fifth Artillery.
Since her debut in society three seasons
ago Miss Catherwood has been favorite
as well as a leading belle. Having been
educated in Paris and London and spent
the greater portion of her short life broad.
the young fiancee combines that rare mod
est charm of the European maiden with
the delightful piquancy of the American
The result is a delicious mannerism that
captivates all that have the good fortune
to meet her.
As far as accom- plishments go Miss

that distinguishes the modern, highly ed
ucated girl. She has devoted, however,
most of her time to the cultivation of her
voice, rich and pleasing mezzo-alto. Its
cultivation she owes TO the celebrated
teachers Marchessi and BeIari.
Nature has been more than kind to Miss
Catherwood. Not only has she endowed
her with rare mental qualities, but Law
ished upon her rare personal charms as

marked it all over with unmistakable signs
off bright and happy disposition, and she
crowned il with a mass of fluffy hair that
just escaped being golden.

lady. By the Will of her grandfather, the
late Judge Hastings, Miss Catherwood was
handsomely provided for. He bequeathed
her $4,000 and an interest in the Hasting s
deed trust, her share OF which represents
$500 900.
DR.. Morton Grinell, the fortunate man,
is celebrated New York specialist and a
distinguished Yale man. Socially as well
as professionally ne occupies very high
position in New York's exclusive set. He
is member of the Unworthy Club of
New York and of the Scroll and Keys, the
very exclusive Yale club that corresponds
to the "Hasty Pudding" of Harvard.
DR.. Grinen is a descendant of an old
French family whose name is closely iden-
tilted with the stirring epochs of French
history. A lasting monument to his
noble family is the Boulevard Grinelle and
La Place Grinelle, Paris, named after them.
Miss Catherwood and DR.. GrinelI met at
Coronado early in the spring, and their en-
gagement followed shortly after. They
will be married at the Preside early in
November. DR.. Grinell has been offered
a prominent professorship at leading
New York medical college, but has not yet
decided to accept the position. If he does
not the young couple will pass the next
four years in European travel.

ner, when the announcement was made,
were: General Forsythe, Lieutenant Bell,
the Misses Young, Miss Catherwood and
