 hNI Vanderbilt had a narrow es- I'M cape a few days ago. He had [S2 left his fast automobile. the Red Devil in charge of his famous French chauffer. Henri Fournier. Just about five minutes before it met with an accident on railroad crossing. It mat ters little who was at fault. The acci- dent took place. The automobile was wrecked and Fournier and his five com rades were severely injured Nothing but the quickness and nerve of Fournier saved the party from death. Indeed. two may die from their injuries.
 I am glad to state that Mrs. FoxhaIl Reene. Mrs. James L. Kernochan. Mrs Oliver Bird and Miss May Bird. who were in the vicinity, did not scream and faint, but, instead, instantly went to the relief of the injured men and bound up their wounds. They tore off their fine under linen and made bandages. which they sknifully applied, staunching some wounds and giving some comfort to the injured men. Their presence of mind and prompt action speaks volumes for them Perhaps this is due to these ladies being accustomed to the accidents of the hunt ing field, where presence of mind is i'm perative and assistance to the injured a habit.
 One of the prettiest weddings of the season was that of Miss Frances Walton Ogden. daughter of Mir. and Mrs Jona- than Ogden, to Mir. Joel Mott Allen, in the pretty, old Church of the Ascension, Tenth street and Fifth avenue The cere- mony was performed by Bishop Potter, a cousin of the bridegroom. and the Rev. Octavius Flagg. The Ogdens belong to the old New York families who have be- come tradition in this new and golden age They marry and they die, and that is about all one hears of them. You can say of them as 1t was said of the I.iv- ingstons "Oh, yes, the Livingstons were prominent once in state and society, but now the best of them are under ground"
 Another wedding of some social inter est was that of young Antonio Terry Pouverts came from Cuba, and are still rich in spite of insurgents Spaniards, wars and taxes. They are now New Workers. as all people, especially rich ones become. sooner or later. Later in the season the young couple will go to Cuba. I hear they propose to take a large party down with them. I prophecy the time will not be distant when it will be the fashionable thing to spend a month in Cuba. just as it is to pass Au- gust in Newport.
 Mrs. Paul Tuchkerman has introduced riding man fashion in Tuxedo. All the women are taking to it. and believe the new fashion will result In making the ci of fhn Cf Mrd Tuckerman is young. handsome, has nice figure, and is a good rider. She is more than all this. she is "the thing" Her husband is one of the directors.
 She wears a costume which is a com bination of trousers and skirt, and pre- sents an appearance that is conceded to be the smartest and most becoming of any horsewoman ever seen galloping along the winding ways of that aristo- cratic community.
 Popular approval has stamped the in novation. and many other fair horsewom- en have either already adopted a simi- lar costume or signified their intention of soon doing so.
 Mrs. Trckerman is praised on all sides for having taken the first step in brav- ing public opinion and venturing into heretofore forbidden field. She was for merly considered a timid rider. and in purchasing saddle horses for his wife, Mir. Tuckerman was always careful to buy only those that were kind and gen. tie. With the greater freedom of move ment permitted by her new costume, however, she has come to be known as an expert and fearless rider.
 
 Fred Bronsons daughter Elizabeth, was married in London few days ago to Clement Griscom's son Lloyd. suppose I really ought to say Miss Elizabeth Duer
 o< 1ota radA art Bronson, Esq, of New York, was mar ried to Lloyd Carpenter Griscom. son of Clement Grscom. Esq. of Philadelphia, were united in the holy bonds of matri- mony at St. Margaret's church. Vest minister, in the presence of the most fash ionable assemblage in London. In old times, and that not so long ago either, young American girl about to be married would return to her own home and the ceremony would be performed in the church she was in the habit of attending
