MISS LOUISE wANAMAkER r.. GURNEE MUM.
whosee engagement was

ciaI ambition of Bostonians and the
running after titles The chase gives
zest to the jaded tastes of those who
have accomplished the ascent of the
local social ladder, and it equally af-
fords much amusement and congenial
occupation to onlookers. 1t is doing
some of the self-satisfled matrons a
world of good to discover that there
are heights which they have not Yet
scaled and that there are social bar
riers which it is not always possible
to surmount And one wonders whether
Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York
matronS would agree with the Senti-
ment expressed in a clever monologue
supposedly spoken by an English wom-
an: The best people in America come
from Boston A Boston woman told me
So
A recent Cleveland bride wore the
conventional, old-fashioned. heavy
white satin, low
Pink Tulle and necked bridal dress.
M c., and her bridesmaids
OuAi oiisei' wore full skirts of
pink tulle, draped in a wonderful way
to fiaring bodices of taffeta, with slip
pers to match the gown. Poke shaped
hats of tulle trimmed in flowers of dull
silver completed the costumes.
There were three dear little flower
girls at the wedding, all dressed in
white net. over flesh -colored batiste,
worn with leghorn hats trimmed in
flesh -colored chiffon. They carried
baskets of rose petals to strew the
pathway of the bride.
Sweden absolutely declines to be con-
nected with Russia by rail, and for this
rea son travellers
Troubles Now in by this overland
Russian Travel route must drive
twenty-five miles
by whatever means at command to
catch the last rail in the northerly
Scandinavian railroad. Mrs Marye,
wife of the ambassador to Russia, is
quoted as saying in a recent interview
that when she was returning to this
country recently it was an undignified
trip for the wife of an American am
bassador to be subjected to. Mr.. Marye
telegraphed for an automobile to meet
his wife at Karumbi to drive her that
bleak and bitter twenty-five miles
across the Scandinavian frontier, and
thereby he doubtless surprised the in
habitants of the town. They said what
IN tnelG EeTHaCuldT is equivalent TO
''Thraint no such thing"
The way Mrs Marye finally did get
transported those twenty-five miles was
in twowheeled cart behind a furry
pony with lap covering of straw and
smelly skins. For companion she had
perfectly strange man. whom she had
not seen before or since. Her four
modest trunks came tumbling after in
another more or less staple cart.
She has come over to spend the sum
mer with her little daughter, and in the
fall-if one may make plans ahead that
tions-she will take the child back with
her They are going to California to
spend the summer and will probably
return to Russia by way of Japan.
She will then take a palace of forty
rooms. that requires. at least, thirty
servants to run 1t. That is to say, if
1t requires thirty American servants, it
| will demand, at least. sixty of Russian
nationality. 1t has two bathrooms,
scores of gems of art, one bathroom
unheated and furnished with a carved
tub In which the water does not run.
