YOUR WEDDING DAY
December 17-Alfred Gwynne Wander
bllt and Margaret Emerson McKim
James X. Hackett and Beatrice
Beckley.
By MARY MARSHALL.
And the Famous Men and Women VIII
Have Shared 1t.

Five years ago tomorrow two very in
teresting weddings were announced to the
world through the newspapers, and both
came as something of a surprise, for for
NAL announcement Of neither had been
made previously. One was the marriage
garet Emerson McKim, both Of whom
had been married and divorced previous
ly, and the other was that Of James K
Hackett and Beatrice Beckley-the bride
groom In that case being the divorced
husband Of the beautiful actress Mary
Mannering.
Five years ago, December II, fell on
Sunday, and the fact that Alfred Wander
bilt chose that day for his wedding caused
some little comment In fact, a special
permit had to be obtained in order to
have the marriage knot tied on that day.
Vanderbilt had been married to Elsie
French in 1901. About a year later Mar
garet Emerson, then the much-admired
belle of Baltimore, and the daughter of a
wealthy manufacturer of that city, was
married to DR.. Smith Hollins McKim.
Both these marriages turned out to be
unhappy, and In the course Of q few
years Mrs. McKim separated from her
husband and. accompanied by her father.
went to Reno. As a result OF this a
divorce was granted In 1909. She then
took up her residence in New York.
where her engagement to many prominent
society men was from time to time
rumored.
Shortly before she was married to Van
derbilt she went abroad and took up tenn
porary residence In Surrey. England. In
the meantime Vanderbilt had obtained a
divorce. and. although his name had
never before been linked with that of
Mrs McKim. some little interest was at
tached to the fact that he went to Eng
land shortly after she did. He made his
home at his London residence, Gloucester
House No announcement was made of
the wedding previous to the event. On
Sunday morning, December II, 1911, he
and a few friends took motor trip to
Surrey and there at o'clock before a
registrar he was married to Mrs. McKim.
A wedding breakfast followed, and after
that the party returned to Gloucester
House. where a reception was held and
the announcement Of the wedding made
public
Although December II is the day usually
given for the marriage of James X.
Hackett and Beatrice Mary Beckley,
there Is reason to believe that the we'd
ding actually took place the day before.
The place was Milwaukee, Wis, and the
time was probably on Saturday afternoon
directly after the matinee performance in
which Hackett and Miss Beckley were
starring. The divorce from Mary Man
nering had Just been obtained. and Hack
EFT had to get q special license to marry
again before the expiration Of the usual
five days interval.

the grub was worse. There was nothing
to eat up there except frozen apples. At
this period my father, suddenly discover

quite wisely to move South-as far South
as there was room to move. We started
for Florida via the hasty and interesting
Mississippi River.
We'll, we got to Florida, engaged in
the business of growing oranges and

There was nothing to eat but frozen
oranges. So 1 went to Chicago to study
