maid to Miss Marjorie Gould, who is to marry Anthony Drexel, Jr., on the 18th.

 be Charles Mills member of parliament
 the elder son and heir of Lord Arlington,

 Yeomanry. The wedding will be cele-
 brated in June after the Ascot race meeting in England. It would surely be

 and Mrs. Anthony DrexelS in Grosvenor
 Square.
