The first task to which the president

Mrs. Ladenburg's engagement to Mr.
Ellis have been continually recurrent
Society has been disappointed several
times in its expectation of a small, quiet
and interesting wedding, but this year
1t believes that the event will really take
place.
Last summer Mrs. Ladenburg visited
the house of Mr.. Ellis parents, Mr.. and
Mrs John w. Ellis, in their villa called
Stoneacre, at Newport. That was taken
as an indication that the engagement
was certainty. The older Mr. Ellis Is
one of the best known residents of New
port and was one of the first to enter

possible to do In America.
Mrs. Ladenburg is a leading member
of the coterie of women who follow the
Meadowbrook hounds regularly. She is
a great horse woman and a hard rider
She and Mrs. "Carley'' Havemeyer are
close rivals in this respect
Mrs. Ladenburg inherited a fortune of
more than $7,OOO,Oo0 from her husband,
who was the senior partner of the bank
ing firm of Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co.
He was drowned In 1886 while returning
from Nassau, N. p, to New York. The
manner of his death was never clearly
explained
His devotion to his beautiful wife was \
fact well known to society, and often
commented on because 1t was sufficiently
unusual to merit attention. He showed it
by leaving his large fortune to her un.
conditionally.
Mrs. Ladenburg is a rather small wom-
an, with an exquisite figure, black hair
and dark Spanish complexion. She

this season Is as modest little frill as

eighteen to thirty-five of those narrow
puckered strips do duty as ornament for
a gown an effect is achieved that no
other species of decoration can quite

began by crisping the foot of a skirt
with three small overlapping frills, but

novel waists fasten almost anywhere but
directly up tho front. Their collars, IL
possible, are higher and sleeves longer
than ever, and some of them are made OF
beautiful fine satin-faced cloth, to which
beads and laces are applied.
The type of thing referred to is dis
played in the form of a waist cut open
in the shape of a reversed f1eur-de-lis in
front to expose a vest of white chiffon
gathered with many threads. Silver
beads and silver Turkish braid finish the
edges of the lily-shaped opening and run
in conventional floral pattern over the
bust The body of the waist is biscuit
colcred, and at the root OF the sleeves
and about the top edge Of the collar a
very delicate touch of mauve is given in
silk. A waist Of this style closes on the
shoulder. One closed up entirely in the
rear is of clear egg-blue satin, slashed
open across chest and sleeve tops to re-
veal a broad band of thickly tucked
cream chiffon. This decoration continues
straight round to the back, where the
waist is laced.

Rich and Beautiful Widow of

MeadOwbroOk Hounds s--The Lady
Distinguished and vIxaeiolas.
The "40O'' and the Meadewbrook set are
again agitated by the prospect Of an I'M
usual character.
This time it is the future of Mrs. Adolf
Ladenburg and Mr.. Ralph Ellis. master
of the Meadowbrook foxhounds, that ex-
cites society.
Strange to say, their case bears some
extraordinary points of resemblance to
that of Mrs "Carley" Havemeyer and
Mr.. Frederick O. Beach. In each case
the prospective bride is a beautiful wild
ow whose husband suffered a sudden
and mysterious death. Each husband
was man of great wealth. All the
parties chiefly concerned are typical
members of the Meadowbrook set of So
ciety, says the New York Journal.
''Will Mrs. Ladenburg marry Ellis %
is a question that is just now exercising
the gossips very much. They believe
the event is now due. Some time ago
Mrs. Ladenburg took occasion to deny
the report but that is quite a customary
proceeding. That the denial is not taken
very seriously is proved blythe fact that
society is still actively discussing the
match.
Ralph N. Ellis Is a man who devotes
his life to hunting-in the English sense
and 10 horses. He comes as near to

lives with his family at Lawrence, u. l..
Her grandmother was Miss Emma Mar
shall, Of Boston, who was a famous
beauty in her day, and whom she is said
to resemble closely. Mrs. Ladenburg is
also a descendant of Albert Gallatin,
Jefferson's secretary of the treasury.
She is, moreover, a niece of Frederick
Stevens, whose wife, after being d.
vorced, married the Due de Dino. That
is rather a complicated way of being
connected with the aristocracy of Eu-
rope.
In 1885 Miss Emily Stevens married
Adolf Ladenburg. He was born in Ger
many and came to this country in 1875
with a fortune partly inherited and partly
accumulated by himself. He helped to
form the house of Ladenburg. Thalman
& Co., one of the great powers in Wall
street. The firm offered to take So, 000,-

sented Bleichroeder Bros, the greatest
banking firm in Germany.
At the marriage of Miss Stevens and
Adolf Ladenburg all the Long Island
hunting men were present. They wore
their scarlet coats at the wedding break

The Ladenburgs had house in New
York and a splendid country place at

Mrs Ladenburg was the soul of life in
the Meadowbrook set. Her husband was
immensely proud of her, but in spite of
his beautiful wife and enormous fortune
he seemed a restless and unhappy man.
In February, 1896, Mr.. Ladenburg went
to Nassau, N. P, for short trip for his
health. He sailed for home on the steam
ship Niagara, She ran into g. terrific

suffered severely from seasickness.
All day Wednesday he lay down in his
stateroom. At II o'clock in the evening
Steward Evans visited him to see how he
was doing. At 6 o'clock in the morning
the steward returned to the cabin. He
found that Mr.. Ladenburg had gone
1t was still pitch dark and a tremen-
dous sea was running.
The steward searched the smoking
room and other parts of the ship, but
could find no trace of Ladenburg. He
then began with others a systematic
search of the whole ship.
They were finally forced to the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Ladenburg was lost He
had either jumped or fallen overheard
into the raging sea. Witnesses stated
that, apart from his seasickness, he had
shown nc signs of being otherwise than
a healthy man in a normal state of mind.
There was no reason apparent to stew
ards or passengers why he should have
committed suicide. Some of them sug-
gested that he had been washed over
board by great wave.
But still 1t remains an inscrutable
mystery why man Frustrated by sea-
sickness and so weak that he could hard

A pathetic incident was that just one
day before he sailed Mr.. Ladenburg
sent a cablegram to his only child, a
little daughter, in New York, wishing
her happiness on her birthday.

SOFT GRAY FELT HAT.
Moods Expressed by 1t by Young
Women as Well as Young Men,

w Cmen as well as Young Men.
Not many years ago every boy be-
tween Is and 10 who was accustomed to
city life and made a pretence of follow
ing fashions wore a bang without being
considered effeminate. A summer mani
festation of his carelessness of conse-
consequences and his independence Of the
rest of mankind was the exposure of
that bang under a straw hat pushed back
on his head. Take up a few tintypes
printed from twelve to fifteen years ago
and nine out of ten boys VIZ have the
bang and the tilted-back straw hat A
few years later this same spirit Of youth
was shown by persistently turning up the
collar of covert coat. That showed its
wearer to be possessed of a certain au-
dacity of character. The turned-up collar
seems to have gone out of fashion as the
symbol of these moods, but the spirit sur
wives and is expressed today by a turn
ing down Of the hat brim.
It's adaptability to this purpose has
done more than anything else to keep
the soft felt hat in style. The same hat
gives young women an opportunity to
express their feelings. 1t meant nothing
if they wore bangs and allowed their
sailor hats to slip back from their fore
