As the Newport season is about To
close. naturally the coming wedding Of
Miss Elsie French. daughter of Mrs.
Francis French, and Alfred Vanderbilt
is q much discussed topic. While there
has never been official announcement
concerning it, there has never been any
doubt but that it would take place in
Newport Some time ago Mrs. French
stated that there was no plan for the
event this autumn, and this announce
ment naturally set at rest all thought
of a late season on account of il. But
il is now learned that the wedding will
surely take place at Newport during the
winter for as matter OF fact certain
important details are already being ar
ranged by Mrs. French. The definite
time, however, is yet dehghtful secret,
as such a matter usually is till those who
have the knowledge and authority to an
nounce it see fit to do so. From the best
information that can be obtained,
the wedding will take place the
first week in January, though there are
those who declare that Miss French ard
Mr.. Vanderbilt will not be married till
several weeks later. Still, whatever may
be the time Newport is sure TO have Il
very notable winter wedding, may be at
Trinity Church. followed by wedding
breakfast. at Harbor View, the French
villa here, ut which two hundred people
will be present. In view Of this, it is
interesting to note that society weddings
have not been uncommon in Newport in
winter. Amos Tuck French. Miss
