New York, April 16-(Speclai,)-ihe
wedding of Miss Marjorie Gould, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George j. Gould
to Anthony Joseph Drexel, Jr., of Phiia-
delphia and London. on Tuesday in ST.
bartholomew church, is the most impor-
tant of the season for many reasons
Perhaps chief among these is that 1t
unites two of the richest families OF
America. Miss Gould, although debut
ante only two seasons ago, numbers her
foreign suitors in the teens of the wealth
and position of the Drexels easily gave
young Toney the opportunity to marry
into British nobility had he so desired.
1t is extremely rare these days when a
CIR, of Miss Gould's status in society mar
res an American. The match seems to
be very happy one and their we'll
wishers include all of those whom we
have been wont to class as the -Four
Hundred"
The ceremony will be at o'clock. In
order that hoi polloi might not inter
fcres with the plans by attempting to
crowd into the church. the ceremony
will be brief and without the expected
show But 1t will Immediately be fol-
lowed by a reception at the Gould home
which will more than make up for the
lack of ornamentation at the church.
Ii is estimated that Miss Gould Will
inherit $50 100000 and that Mr.. Drexel will
inherit probably sS5,0Oo,0OO They Will
shortly sail for England TO be present
at the marriage of Mr.. Drexel's sister
when she is wed by the Viscount Maid
stone.
Not to be outdone by Mr.. Vanderbilt
tn1 ri
mental coaching venture between Atlantic
City and New York. Mr.. Sorg. who is
passionately fond of horses, and has won
blue ribbons at every horse show of i'm
portance in America, will exhibit at the
international horse show In London for
the first time this year He Is seriously
contemplating a coaching experiment to
be run similarly to Mr.. Vanderbilts Lon
don-to- Brighton project.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt have
gone abroad, but only for a short visit.
They will occupy a cottage at Newport
this coming summer. Newport is be-
coming very active. Mrs. Henry G.
Phipps, who was Miss Gladys Mills, will
arrive in June to spend the summer al
Newport.
| I am sometimes tempted in my simpl,
| fashion to wonder II Mrs. Julian Little,
| Who was formerly Mrs. Henry Spies Kip,
will not have hungry longing for New
port this summer. She and her husband
have returned to townsville, Cal, where
| he Is the superintendent of a gold mine
| In former years Mrs Kip was one OF
| the society goddesses at Newport and hel
recent return there must have awakened
| old memories. But perhaps she may be
| contcnted in the California mountains
while her husband is collecting gold Whc
| knows?
Princess Ruspoli, who was Mrs. Jenny
Berry Burton of Nashville, will not make
her future home in Rome. where she
| has resided for the past eight years
hear. Instead she will live with hel
parents at Oakhill. Ga. At least so much
| do I hear from indirect discourse, bu
| tho princess would surely make one Ions
| European trip a year. Princess Ruspol
is still in mourning, having been left 6
widow four months ago. She spent
little time here and later went south.
