in September. Miss Grant and her mother
will meet him in New York, and all will
return to Beaulieu to visit Mrs. Potter
Palmer and prepare for the wedding
Other details are as yet quite as indefi-
mite as to the date. but, OF course, Beau
lieu. the Waldorf-Astor villa, will play an
important part in the event and possibly
may be the scene of the wedding. Miss
Grant will arrive at Beualieu next week

Clapp, daughter of Mrs. y. Devereaux
Clapp, will be one of the bridesmaids.

Major General Wesley Merritt was in
Washington yesterday and after a con-
sultation with Secretary Alger went back
to New York. Secretary Alger and Gen
eral Merritt went over to the White House,
where they had a short conversation with
the President. During their call Secretary
Hay arrived, and this gave rise to report
that there was consultation On the Phil
ippine situation. Secretary Alger said
that General Merritt had come here at
his request for the purpose OF consulta-
tion on some Regular Army matters. His
visit, the Secretary said, did not have
anything to do with the organization of
the volunteer army. General Merritt de-
clined to talk about his visit. The call
at the White House was of a purely social
character General Merritt is president of
a board of officers appointed to consider
suggestions and make recommendations
for improving the condition of the enlist
ed men of the Regular Army. and It is
supposed that his consultation with Sec
retary Alger related to such matters.
