1t is considered a coincidence that
Miss Duer, in wedding Mr.. Mackay is
marrying man much shorter than
herself. as was the case in the mar
riagc of Miss Vanderbilt TO the Duke
of Marlborough, Mr. Mackay may be
short in staturey but he is long in
purse The duke was short both in
purse and stature. but he was long in
title. His line was the proper mathe-
matical line. length, without breadth
or thickness. 1t is not absolutely
necessary that man shall be taller
than his wife unless they are playing
lovers parts on the stage. And in
that case Mr.. Goodwin's custom of
wearing French heels and long trous-
ers is most efiicacious. To the best OF
our knowledge the stature of the duke
was not taken into account for mo-
ment by Miss Vanderbilt, and Miss
Duer was never moved by the refiec-
ton that Mr. Mackay stopped growing
a little too soon. True love rises above
such petty considerations.
