of the bridegroom elect. The young
couple will reside here after honey
moon trip. The wedding journey will
extend over a few weeks and will be
probably passed in the southern part
of the state.
The tableaux vivants are only a
memory, but the various poses are a
topic that does not seem to lose its i'm
portance. 1t was a great regret among
her friends that Mrs. W. *. Vanderbilt
did not pose, but she had other plans
and could not consent to forego the
business duty that called her away on
the second evening of the tableaux
Mrs. Francis Carolan was one of the
most beautiful of the subjects every
one was agreed. She was an incom-
parable Tragic Muse" and received
many compliments. Mrs Walter Mar
tin with her little daughter Mary in the
LIE Brun picture of mother and child
was one of the favorites on French
night. The following evening one of
..
Martins "Circe." She has a regal grace
of her own that made her distin-
guished subject. Miss Genevieve Har-
Vey as Flore elected prolonged ap-
plause, and her sister, Mrs. Oscar Coo
per, made charming "Sibyl" Miss
Jennie Crocker was a Romney picture
worth remembering, but there were
scores of others and all of them excep-
tionally clever and well posed The
success of the affair is due in a great
measure to Mrs. c. o. Alexander's ex-
ecutive talent. The tableaux were
posed by Miss Harriet Bogardus of New
York, who has earned a national repu-
tation for her artistic ventures

One of the weddings of recent date
that was celebrated in New York, but
was none the less interesting here, was
that of Miss Florence Woods and
George A. Crux. The pretty ceremony
took place in st. Patrick's cathedral
in New York city and was a family

daughter of the late Surgeon George
Woods of the navy, and is fondly re-
