Griscom is still Il young man, being
scarcely thirty-five years of age. He is
a son of the rich Philadelphia ship
merchant, Clement A. Griscom, and
has Il very handsome and clever wife.
She was Miss Elizabeth Duer Bronson,
daughter of Frederic Bronson, II of
the best known clubmen of New York
In his day, and was Il bridesmaid at
the wedding of Miss Consuelo Wander
bilt to the Duke Of Marlborough. The
marriage Of Mr.. Griscom to Miss Bron-
son in st. Margaret's church, London,
in 1901 was n great society event.
Over 200 presents were received by
the bridal couple, including a diamond
bracelet from Mrs. Astor. The gifts
were so valuable they were kept in a
bank for fear that they would be stol-
en-. Mr.. Griscom had just been ap-
pointed minister to Persia, and he
took his bride on a wedding tour in
that country of a thousand miles on
horseback. They had plenty of adven-
lures on the trip. They were caught
once in n sand storm, and on another
occasion when ascending a river their
boat was overturned. On their way to
Persia they paid their compliments to
the sultan of Turkey, who was so i'm
pressed with Mrs. Griscom's charms
that he conferred upon her the grand
Gordon of the Order of Chefecat.
