night from Lyndhurst, the Gould

their license to wed. The night jour-
ney to Irvington was planned after
the couple had waited in vain all day
for crowds of townspeopIe to leave the
vicinity of the town clerks office in
Tarrytown. Curious persons, anxious
to get a glimpse of the two remained
until after the license bureau closed
and went home disappointed.
Word of the waiting crowds was
conveyed to Miss Gould and Mr.. Shep-
ard, and by telephone ic was arranged
with Robert Eastwood, the clerk,
that he should take the necessary Ii
cense papers to his home in Irvington.

panied by the Rev. Daniel Russell,
pastor of the Irvington Presbyterian
church, Mrs. Russell and Louis J.
Shepard, brother of Finley Shepard,
arrived at Mr.. Dashwood's home at
o'clock. The bridal couple answered
the customary questions, received
their license and drove away in the
automobile.
There were no guests at Lyndhurst,
where nearly a dozen private detec-
tives are guarding the costly wedding
presents. Among the gifts received
was massive bar of 200 diamonds
from Mrs. Russell Sage.
