 ssThe spread of Vedanta cannot be measured by the number of names on our official roll. But by the increas- ed attendance at our meetings, the letters we receive and the personal confessions, we know that the appeal of our faith Is reaching more and more men and women" What has Vedanta done for the women of In dia that it should appeal to the wo- men of America?", I asked. T am thoroug gh1y American, but believe that many American women are in deeper mental and spiritual bondage than the women of the East, which are only betrothals, result from the belief that the two souls have known each other in many previous ages"
 The fear, expressed here in the spring and summer, that New York would have no international wedding of importance to look forward to this season, seems to have been premature. MT. and Mrs. William4 Watts Sher- man, needing the Importantly of their daughter, Mildred, have consented to her marriage on December 9th to Lord Camoys, who is busy completing ar engagements for the ceremony. From all indications, the wedding will be quite as brilliant an affair as was that of the brfdegroom's chum.. Lord De- cies, and Vivian Gould last season. It was while acting as the best man of Lord Decies that Camoys met and fell in love with Miss Sherman, who it will be recalled was 1one of the bridesmaids of Miss Gould. Whatever opposition there was on the part of William Watts Sherman to an early marriage, has been swept away and he is said to be now disposed to do whatever his wife and daughter desire to make the ceremonial the one big feature of the early winter season for society. Lady Camoys, the mother of the peer, is expected to come over for the marriage, and 1t is said will bring with, her number of handsome presents for the bride. Additional in- terest will be lent to the nuptials by the presence of distinguished com. pany from Britain, friends of the bridegroom. GA M
 The question of whether it will be a church or a h0use wedding has not yet been decided, but this is a detail which in all likelihood will be settled before the end of the week. The bride-to-be and Camoys will remain at
 
 Newport until the end of the month, completing their plans. which they will announce on their arrival here the first week in November. Society con- tinues to discuss the probability of still another engagement evolving be- fore long from the Decies-Gould we'd ding-that of the Hon. Bobby Beres- ford, younger brother of ,Decies. The Honorable Bobby was very popular when he was over here to attend his brother and made a deep impression upon at least one eligible maiden, whose interest was not altogether un- reciprocated. Before the winter frosts come along, society is inclined to sus- pect some announcement on this score will be in order.
 Andrew Carnegie will provide for the future of his two grandnieces. the children of James Hever, the groom of his brother, Thomas M. Carnegie, and the latter,s daughter, Nancy. Hever's death last week from the eff fects of injuries. sustained several years ago by a fall from a horse. leaves the widow, who was the Steel Masters favorite niece, with her two to bring up. The Laird of Skibo, who has been their mainstay, since his niece shocked society by eloping with Hever, the handsome family coachman, is very fond of the children and will see that they never want for anything. Whenever he has been in town, the children and their mother have been always welcome guests at his mansion To emphasize his approval of the wedding, which society has anever ceased to declaim, the uncle gave Hever a valuable es- tate of eighty acres on the outskirts of the city, where the former coach man, who was devoted to his wife, the couple lived like two turtle doves, indifferent to the sighting attitude assumed toward them by the former social friends of the bride, who re- garding her as a social outcast, "drop- ped'' her when she married Hever. Sustained in her retirement by the statement of her uncle, that The pre- ferred that Nancy should make a love match, as this was, with a sober, moral, good man, than have her marry a. worthless duke" Nancy Carnegie, that was, never regretted her act She had been bridesmaid to her cou- sin, Alice Thaw when the latter was to the Earl of Yarmouth and she chosen. The sad ending of the] romance of the Yarmouths and the strong predilection of the Steel Mas ter for men who worked for their liv- ing. turned her thoughts from society into other channels Hever, who was a widower with two children by his deceased wife, won her affection while teaching her how to become an ex- pert horse-woman.
