BIDDLE-GRAY.

PHILADELPHIA, Dpc ~ --Somewhat In
tho nature Of surprise WAS the news
made public yesterday that Mrs. Andrew
GRAY and Mr. Spencer II, Is, Biddle were
married In Paris last week.
Everybody remein hers the beautiful and
accomplished Mary Davids who, u decade
or so ago, reigned rs belle, and her mar
riage to Mr. Andrew Gray, one Of tho
most popular young bachelors OF tho DAY
h As the daughter Of the late Hugh Davids
Miss Mary occupied a most envlab!e posi-
tion In Quaker City society: Her sister
wns the first Mrs. James p. Scott, who
was also regarded as one Of The most Beau
tifnl aud fascinating women In tho long
list OF beautiful and fascinating Of Phlla-
delphia women But Mrs. Gray was con-
sidered the more attract i've Of the two, and
1t was not long after her marriage that
she held u foremost place In the ias!ion-
able world and was surrounded by little
court Of admirers. Among them was MI.
Biddle.
Difficulties of one sort or another arose
between husband and wife, and. growing
more and more complex, resulted IN q
separation about five years after marriage.
Mrs. Gray went abroad, where she has
lived ever since, though she has made
number OF trips back u her old home. A
little less than five years ago she secured
an absolute divorce. Three weeks ago
Mr.. Biddle sailed for Europe and the OBJ
ject of his trip was not known until he
sent the news of his marriage across by
wire. Mr.. Biddle is the son of Mrs. Henry
J. Biddle and is one Of tho best known
olubmen in he city, being member OF all
the popular clubs, both In the city and IN
the suburbs.
MIR. Gray also still lives IN Philadelphia,
and there is no more popular man hEout
than he He is the brother OF Sen Gray, OF
Delaware, and, like Mr.. Biddle, belongs to
the best clubs of the city.
