to hold in check the immense crowd of
spectators who began to gather as

As in previous cases where Ameri-
can hereisses have bestowed themsel-
YES ON titled foreigners, the ceremony
was witnessed by that select and eX-
elusive body known as society" The
wedding itself, however, was devoid
of lavish display as the family of the
bride is in mourning for Sir Micheal
Herbet, who was related by marriage
to the Goelet family.

church for which about three hun
dred invations had been issued, there
was reception at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. Ogden Goelet, the
guests for the latter function being
limited to 80 in number.

was followed by later arrivals, who
took advantage of railings, doors and
