Consuelo. Duchess of Manchester, left Newport this week, and she will go abroad. visiting her daughter and her grandson. Mrs. Yznaga has been the guest of Miss Leary at Newport. That lady by the way. gave a very pretty en- tertainment in honor of the coming of age or going into society of the elder son of Mrs. Frank Hoffman, and the debut of the younger. These two young men will be given an entertainment by their mother this winter, as 1t is just as neces- sary for youths to make their debut as for young women They are the nephews of Albert R. Shattuck, who married Miss Strong, and on their fathers side they are cousins of the Livinsstons and of the pretty twin Mills sisters.
 A social event of importance in the vi- cinity of New York this week has been the wedding of Duncan Candler to Beat rice de Trobriand Post. Young Candler is a lawyer of prominence and a man of wealth. He marries a bride of distin- guished family and lineage. On her moth- CTS side she comes from the Joneses, and she has inherited some of the great for tune left by that eccentric old widower who died at the New York Hotel fifteen years ago. Her grandmother, Madame de Trobriand, is one of the most hospita- ble women in Paris, and her great grand mother was Mrs. Mary Jones, who lived until she was nearly century old. who had the first salon in New York and who entertained Thackery and Dickens and before them Lafayette. Mrs. Post the brides mother once committed lese ma jeste. When a little child she was taken to see the exiled family of King Charles in England, and there she suddenly made a dive for the headdress of her august godmother the Duchess of Angouleme, the only surviving daughter of Louis XVI. and pulled 1t off. wig and all. The Count de Trobriand, Mrs. Posts father, was attached to the royal household and came of a very old family in France, which remained true to the Royalists as long as there were any. He then came to this country and was made a general in the late civil war and dropped his title,
