Newport, July 22.-If 1t were not for the interest we take in minding other peo- pIe's business, life would be dull indeed. The Bunnewell divorce took place late last October and by that judicial act our eaay-going society received two very eligible persons. Everybody remembers the fair plaintiff in the action was that lovely, athletic Venus, Mrs. Maud Jaf- fray Hunnewen, a daughter of the late Howard S. Jaffray, of Irvington-on-the- Hudson and granddaughter of the late Edward S. Jaffray of dry goods fame. Consequently she is a relative of Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, Mrs. George Hope Nairs and Mrs. Jaffray, of England. Long before her marriage with MT. Hunnewell she had the reputation of being the best all around woman athlete in fashionable society. She was an expert baseball player, was a wrestler whom few men cared to face, and as a boxer and fencer had no equal in her set and bested every boy of her age who dared t. face Der. After her marriage she substituted ten- his, golf and cross-country riding for her more youthful pastimss, and ID these too she was an expert. She Is fully six feet tall and her figure 10 mod s.ed in superb proportions She Is Q handsome woman, with regular, clear cut features and a healthful, brilliant eoloring. She had two children by MT. Hunnewell, Louisa Bronson Hunneweil, now nearly eleven years old, and Maud Jaffray Hum newell nine years old.
 The defendant in the aforesaid action was young Hollis Hunnewel1, son of the late Hollis Hunnewell, of Boston. By birth and education he was gentleman and enormously rich. The young couple were leaders of the fashionable set until their ship of matrimony bumped on the divorce reef. Mrs. Hunnewell received an absolute divorce after eleven years of marriage.
 Now comes the news from London that Mrs. Hunnewell has again, after nine months of bachelorhood. become the wife of John Stanbury Tooker, of New port, R. l. This happy and interesting event took place in London very recently. Mir Tooker Is a brother of the late Mrs. J. Wordsworth Ritchle, who died a couple of weeks ago from blood poisoning at Ashwell, Rutlandshire, England, and of MT. Whitney Warren of this city.

 MT. Hunnewen in November next, it Is said, will again be happy. He will mar ry the divorce law permitting, Mrs. Belle Nelson Kemp. Finding her first matri- monial venture failure she secured divorce from her other half and mas now had her affections captured by the gay Bostonian. There Is nothing like begin ming life over and Newport affords many examples of happy marriages. Second marriages here are the uniting in wed- lock of experienced persons. The first signify maidenIy curiosity and maternal ambition; the second matronly wisdom and personal inclinations.
 The much heralded reunion of the Van derbilt family, when Cornelius Wander bilt's pretty wife will be received by his mother, sister and brothers and the old quarrel buried, will be delayed some months owing to a change in the plans of MT. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Cornelius and his wife are visiting Ger many. It was their intention to return to America about September, and then the portals of "The Breakers were to swing open for the reception of the ex- He'd son who had sacrificed more than s6o,OOO 900 for the sake of marrying the woman he loved But they are having such a royal time in Germany that they are loath to leave. It will be remem- bered that the Cornelius Vanderbilts have been received with the most dis tinguished consideration and friendliness by Kaiser William. The emperor hon ored them so far as to attend a luncheon given by them in his honor aboard their yacht when 1t was at Kiel. Tbcy have enjoyed almost daily meetings with Prince Henry, who, wl.an he was in America, honored tb6m signally by se- lecting them as 'the American couple at whose home he would dine. It has been
