YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Womer
who Have shared 1t.
BY MARY MARSHALL.
August -Edward 1 and Eleanor
of CASTLE.

OF Onstlle.
The first important wedding recorded
for this date is that of King Edward
]. of England. and Eleanor of CASTLE.
This wedding occurred six hundred
and sixty-three years ago today. An
other important wedding of the day
was that of Elizabeth Robinson and
Edward Montagu. Elizabeth Robin
son gained fame as one of the orig
inal "blue-stockings' Although her
fame outranks that Of her husband.
was a grandson of first Earl of Sand
wich.
Miss Robinson had made definite
plans about her marriage before she
met Edward. She had decided tina /.
her husband must have a certain
amount of fortune and a very sub
stantial character in order to qualify.
Edward apparently filled these condi-
tions, for he possessed great wealth,
and as he was the GRANDSON OF an
earl and a member of parliament, his
position was established. His charac-
ter likewise seems to have been up to
Elizabeth's requirement.
At the time of the marriage Eliza
beth was q years old and her hus-
band was a little over 80. But the
union proved decidedly happy.
Elizabeth had had plans about her
life after her marriage and these she
proceeded to carry out with the aid
OF her husbands fortune and posi-
ton She gathered about her grad
uaily group of intellectual young
women and these became known as
the blue stockings.' probably because
Of the color of the stockings they
anected to wear. Many of the most
interesting men Of the times visited
her salon in Mayfair. London. in
cluding Sir. Joshua Reynolds, Lord
Lytteiton. Gsrrfck and Burke.
