 New York. October 5.-I am glad my talented young friend, Miss Emily Key Hoffman, has married we'll She is now tho wife of Frank Dalziel of London, Who possessed in abundance that commo- dlty which Is the greatest essential of modern times, 1. e., money. Miss Emily went abroad couple of years ago on Eugene Higgins yacht, as a member of that now almost historic yachting party Since then she remained abroad. Miss Hoffman is not of the old Hoffman fam fly of which Judge Hoffman was con- spicuous member, or of which Miss Elm fly Hoffman. the dauughter of Charles Burrall Hoffman, was descended. The similarity of names often created con fusion. The young lady who Is now Mre Dalziel made her first sensational debut in amateur theatricals. She executed Spanish dance at Mrs. Fish's with such extraordinary grace that she became the talk of the swell set.
 Of course Mrs. George Gould had her down on visit to Georgian Court on the first opportunity and there she was a striking figure in the private theatricals in her Spanish dance. She is rather tall, with wavy black hair and very white teeth Her eyes are large and very beau- tlful Her mother is now Mrs. Charles Weir of this city. Ellis Hoffman, her brother, married Miss Lily P. sherman a. daughter of William Watts sherman, the banker
 do not quite understand the story I am told about young Bayard Cutting I believe he Is a lawyer by profession, and through his fathers influence was ap- pointed an under secretary to the Amer ican embassy in London by Minister Joseph H. Choate. This gave him a grand opportunity to go out in the best English society. The Cuttings have for more than century been prominent in the society of this city. and consequent 1y, they are not lacking in self esteem However this may be, young Cutting, well launched on the social seas of En- gland, met Lady Sibyl Cuff and fell head over ears in love. They were married and came over here.
 MT. and Mrs. Cutting visited friends in Lenox and Newport, and most of them insisted upon calling her Lady Sibyl Cut ting. Very senslbly this well-bred gem tlewoman objects to the title and prefers to be called Mrs. Cutting. After they had made a round of visits they went down to Oakdale to the Bayard Cutting country seat, which is one of the finest on Long Island I am now told that young Cutting will take his wife out to San Francisco. where he proposes going into. the sugar business, This Is what surprises me. Bayard Cutting, senior, Is very rich man. The family have, as a rule, been lawyers and all have been in- terested in railroads. None have been in industries. Young Robert Cutting, a cousin. 1t will be remembered married a Miss Siligman. an actress, and for a brief period aspired to be an actor. With this one exception the male members of the family have been investors in rail- roads, buyers of bonds and reorganizers of bankrupt railroads. He Is only 25 years of age, consequently may change his mind.
 The will of James Hooker Hammersley has been admitted to probate He leaves his wife the residence on Madison ave- nue. and its contents. and the income of the estate, which is left in trust to his executors and the executrices. After the desth of his wife the estate Is to be evenly divided between his two children. Although figures have not been quoted, the estate Is probably worth In the neigh borhood, of five millions. The estate has always made large investments in unim- proved property, and during the course of century these holdings have greatly increased the family wealth. His first cousin, Louis Hammersley. left about seven, millions, and this fortune which Is now yielding life income to Lady Beresford, will be, at her death. turned over to the eldest son of the deceased James Hooker Hammersley. The Ham, mersley baby of New York and the Brown baby of Providence are two of the most valuable lives from a standpoint of inheritance to be found in America. Each baby is worth over seven millions of dollars.
 Miss AbbyAldrch will be married in day or two, and I have resolved to go. I going just because I promised my dear little friend in Washington three years ago that when she married I would be there. Of course had no idea then that she would become the wife of John Rockefeler's eldest son. which means, of course, to the future richest man in the world. An well. 1t makes no differ ence; wealth beyond certain limit Is not enjoyable Yet it must make an aw- full comfortable view.
 Miss Abby is going to be married at the Senator's country home at Warwick Neck, which Is on Narragansett Bay. be- tween Proyidnce and East Greenwich. Some three hundred guests will be con Seyed from Providence by steamers, and VIII land at senator AldrichS wharf Only relatives and immediate friends have been invited. The ceremony will be conducted in the tea house." which was built during the past summer. It will be converted by floral decorations into a small chapel. I do hope it will be a clear, bright day. as I fear these outdoor af- fairs from distrust of the weather. When young John D. Rockefeller, Jr., takes his bride away my dear friends in New York city may look out for the laurels in lead Rrship.
 Mrs Potter Palmer will soon return from Europe. She Is truly a clever wo- man brilliant talker, great observer ana delightful reconteur In a way she
