Mr. Gilbert Grosvenor Is IN IKE manner
Intellectual by inheritance, as his father,
lege, is the author, OF the book Con
stantinople," which upon it's appearance
several years since, created no end OF
favorable notice in the scientific world.
and is today quoted as authority on the
subject Of which it treats. AT the pres
ent time Mr.. Grosvenor is managing and
associate editor Of the magazine pub
Hshed in Washington by the National
Geographical society.
Among the other associate editors are
General Greeley Of Arctic fame; Prof.
Magee Of the geographical survey; Prof.

Whel Mr.. Colbert Hovey Grosvsnor
and his twin brother, Mr.. Edwin Pres
cot Grosvenor, made a record IN the
mherst college annals by graduating not
only at the very head Of their class, but
literally without a hairs breadth Of
difference in their standing. there were
but five out Of their class Of 10 members
who could tell them apart. Not single
professor in the college could untangle
their respective localities, for so strong is
the likeness between the two young men
that even their own parents are at
times puzzled in the matter.
If anyone imagines, however, that all
the young man had to do was to WOO
and the young woman to be won, they
are vastly mistaken, for there were suit

that. From the time when they left off
pinafozes and abiured the aIlurements OF
rattles and dolls, the Graham girls have
had their coterie Of beaux- With all
their accomplishments and talents they
ara not in the slightest degree pedantic
but are fun loving, whole souled, attract
i've girls.
There IS a very pretty little story Of a
young diplomat having followed the fam
ily TO Europe last summer, and in order
10 be near his adored and press his con-
sideration upon Miss Elsie Bell, he even
tually succeeded in having his transfer
made from Washington to a nearby Eu-
ropean port
But alas for the ultimate outcome Of
his castles in the air! Soon before his
very eyes the lovely young girl will brave
the upheavals Of the channel 70 sail
across to England and wed his rival
Just where Mr.. Grosvenor viii take
his bride to make their home after the
London ceremony, has not been quite de-
termined, but it looks as If for the very
near future. at least, they will reside in
Washington, since Mr.. Grosvenor's edi-
torial duties will necessitate his resi-
dence there.
