Gossip as to the alleged matrimonial in
| tentions of several prominent young cou-
| pies has taken a most charming form late
| ly and with substantial supports. They are
stay-at-home people, too. which is another
satisfactory indication that there are just
as good fish to be caught at home at
any other summer resort. Trosseaux now
| in process of development will dazzle our
eyes throughout the early autumn and give
us a number of brand-new things to talk
about. A senatorial engagement and the
marriage of Philadelphia Cadwalader and
| a chambermaid are two widely contrasted
exhibitions of what the little god Cupid
can do when properly worked up in warm
| weather 1t is just possible that the show
ers of congratulations which the approach
ing marriage of the North Dakota senator
and the charming young lady of his choice
have evoked are not as copious over in the
Quaker city, where hitherto Biddles have
married Biddles. Potters have united with
Potters and Cadwaladers; well, there
| never was anything quite good enough for
them. Perhaps the couple can get along
without the applause of the exclusive set
to which the head of the house belongs.
and 1T will be an interesting study in class
distinctions to see II this marriage will
ever be forgiven, even II it did take place
In the silly season. The chances are that
