NEW YORK, May 14.-The report re-
mains persistent that Mrs Smith Hol-
lis McKim, who a year ago was accord
ed the leadership OF the Newport col
opy, will wed Alfred G.. Vanderbilt as
soon as a wise and kind judge in Reno
sewers the bonds which have held ner
to Mr.. McKim. I call him Mr., Mcklm
for, while he is a physician, he is so
rich that he only practices for recrea-
tion and then only occasionally. Baltl-
more gossipers have spread the tale
that Mrs. McKim merely married the
doctor as Il stepping stone IN her social
aspirations. Mrs. McKim is the daugh-
ter of Isaac Emerson the bromo seltzer
king OF Baltimore, and Mrs. Mcklm s
husband was a rich young bachelor
doctor and a descendant of one Of the
oldest Maryland families. If Mrs. Nc.
Kim does wed Mr.. Vanderbilt she VIII
prove that she is capable of rather
remarkable feat, the feat of climbing
from the outskirts of society to the
very top notch of the social ladder IN
three years.
Had Meteoric Career.
Mrs. McKim S career, while meteoric,
seems to show that she has acquired
permanent position In the last few
years she has been the most envied wo-
man in the gay and fashionable set in
New York and Newport. She started
out with the ambition to make her way
across the most aristocratic portals In
New York She was the daughter of
newly rich man. She received all the
financial support she needed, but money
has proved futile with hundreds of woG
men who have essayed the same task.
She triumphed and her father was de-
lighted with her success. Even envlous
women admitted that she charmed the
men whom she met by her vivaclty,
wonderful artistic gowns and her cleV-
erness at conversation, The rumor that
Alfred G. Vanderbilt fell in love with
her has been credited generally, but
whether a wedding will quickly follow
her divorce is still In doubt.
Peeved at Americans.
The Duke of Manchester, who mar
ried Miss Hazel Zimmerman, the daugh
ter of Cincinnati millionaire, goes
back to Europe somewhat plqued and
peeved at Americans. He is especially
militant in his conversation against
that genus known as "joy riders 1t
happens that during the visit of the
duke and duchess at Hyde park, up the
Hudson they went out for ride one
day in an automobile belonging to Fred
erlck W. vanderbilt. during tne Tldc
another car. filed with men and women
under tho influence Of liquor, whizzed
by. The Joy riders stopped long enough
to load up their machine with a guam
tity of stones. With this ammunition
they commenced a bombardment of the
ducal party. Both the duke and duch-
ess were struck several times and the
automobile was dented In number of
places.
The first notable May marriage was
that today of Miss Lorraine Roosevelt,
daughter of Mrs J. West Roosevelt, and
Langdon Warner at Oyster Bay, A spe-
cial train on the Long Island railroad
conveyed the guests from New York.
Descendant Hendrick Hudson.
There can be no doubt OF the social
standing of Mr.. Hendrick Hudson, who
is to be married next week. Mr.. Hud-
son. in addition to being wealthy is a
direct descendant of Hendrick Hudson,
the ancient explorer, after whom the
Hudson river is named. His genealogi-
cal tree Is about as aristocratic in Amer
lean ideals as that of any other resi-
dent of the United States. His fore
bears were among the mcu VINO eX-
plored America, who settled New York,
who fostered the PATRON estate, who
fought Indians, fought the British and
did everything else that those rugged
chaps did in the long ago. In the red
book Mr. Hudson is designated by dou-
ble A. whatever that is. Mr. Hudson
will be united in marriage TO Miss Hell
