THE Board of Education, after waiting
over one hour last evening for the twelve
members to appear thereby making
quorum, settled down to business shortly
after 0 o'clock. The interval was filled
up swapping Sunday school stories and the
fun was enjoyed by the members. As
their salaries are not burden to them,
see what a disadvantage lady members
of the Board would have been; it would
have made the time hang heavily upon
their hands. As 1t was last evening it
was social meeting before the desired
quorum was gotten together to transact
business. And still some persons want
ladies in the Board.

They met but once under those ci1eum-
stances, but memories mutually fingered.
Years afterward, when Mr.. Anderson
had graduated from Harvard, he was ar
pointed secretary of the American en-
bassy at Rome and went abroad. 1t was
while at his post in Rome, in the autumn
of 1851 hat his next meeting with Miss
PerkInS occurred. The young lady, pre-
paratory to entering society, was sent
abroad for the school of tl>vel. She was
chaperoned by Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott.
whose husband is an artist and has a
studio in Rome. After iourneying through
various parts of the Old World Miss Per
kins and Mrs. Elliott went to Rome for
the winter OF 1895. There Mr.. Anderson
was introduced TO Miss Perkins and both
recalled that they had met in their native
land.
courtship followed, and within tn
ensuing year they were engaged. Miss
Perkins was to have remained abroad
three years, but in view OF the engage
ment she returned to her home just one
year after her departure and told er fam
lily of her promised marriage. Consent
was Immediately given Tor the union, and
since then the date of the wedding has
| been a question of much speculation in
/ Eastern society. The event was to have
taken place two months ago, but was post
poned because of the inability of Mr.. An
derson to leave Rome at that time. There
were matters of importance growing out
OF the change in the National administra-
tion which demanded his presence there,
and accordingly it was arranged to have
the ceremony performed to-day.
Miss Perkins is one of the richest, If not
the richest, OF the women in America. AT
the death of her grandfather, the late
Stephen Void, a few years ago, he left
her $17 900, 600, into possession of which
she is to come at the age of 2l. Her
mother inherited a similar amount from
the same source, and, as Miss Perkins i.
the only child, she will be her mother s
sole heir. With the accumulations o1
interest, the joint inheritance makes hel
