Especial from United Press.)

New York, April 19.-When at 1 o'clock this afternoon Marjorie Gwynne
 Gould, the beautiful daughter of Geo.
 J. Gould and the acknowledged "catch
 of the season." becomes the bride of Anthony J. Drexel, Jr., of Philadelphia, she will make good her promise to her
 father two years ago that it would be an American man who won her hand and no one of the small army of titled foreigners who even before her debut had designs on her hand-and the purse that hand controlled.
 Coming in the wake of a series of weddings between American heiresses a5,i and titled & foreign bankrupts. Miss Miss band today had struck a popular chord and this afternoons ceremony in addition to being one of the most brilliant and most lavish of the pres ent decade, is probably one of the most popular.
 The ceremony. which will unite the wealthy house of Gould with the old Drexel family, will be celebrated in St. Bartholomew's church. Bishop Scarborough will oficiate. assisted by church. After the ceremony the we'd ding party will return to the magni- dcent Gould mansion at Fifth avenue and 67th street where a buffet colla- ton will be served before the young people start on their honeymoon jour ney.
 The lavishness. that marked the coming out party given her daughter by Mrs. Gould last fall. pervaded to an equal extent the preparations for today's event. Thousands of dollars were spent upon the floral decorations of the church and house which were turned into veritable bowers of pink and white roses with backgrounds of palms and greens. Wedding presents and the brides gifts to the brides maids are the most magnificent seen at any wedding in several seasons.
 Miss vician Gould, sister of sthe bride who makes her social debut next season, will be the maid of honor, and Miss Marguerite Drexel. beau tifu1 sister of the bridegroom, will be one of the bridesmaids. The other bridesmaids include some of the most beautiful girls of New York's most exclusive younger set. They are Miss Hope Hamilton, a cousin of the bride; Dr. and Mrs. J. Ho1brook Curtis; Miss Beatrice Cleftin and Miss Elsie Nicho1. Little Miss Ellen Mackay, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, and Miss Edith Gould, daughter of Mrs. Gould, will be flower girls.
 The brides gown is of white satin charmeuz, cut princess. She will wear an overdress of white chiffon embroid- cred with orange blossoms and a train, embroidered with the convential we'd ding flower. The tulle veil is fasten- ed with a spray of orange blossoms and the bridal bouquet is composed of these blossoms and white roses. The maid of honor and bridesmaids will wear gowns of delicate pale shades. The frocks of the bridesmaids will be of blue satin, trimmed in blue and pink satin. The dresses are short ending three inches from the floor. One of the novelties is the high shoes of blue satin to be worn by the brides maids instead of the usual slippers, and the big blue straw hats wreathed in pink tul1e and finished off with a big bow of tulIe with ostrich plumes which stand straight up from the back in chantecler fashion. The maid of honor's dress will be exactly like those of the bridesmaids, save that the coIors are reversed.
 The bridegroom will be attended by his brother, Armstrong Drexe1. A dozen reports are in circulation as to where the young couple will spend their honeymoon but no one except the principals is in the secret. It is however, that the couple will turp up in London in time to be present at the wedding of Miss Mar guerita Drexel, sister of the bride groom to Viscount Maidstone, next June.
 The list of guests at today's func- tion includes the most prominent names in New York and Philadelphia society with a sprinkling of English onhi1ifv
